Gamers!

On behalf of Being Esports I am excited to announce the second iteration of ÜBERFEST!
We may have changed locations, but we did not change our approach: It will once again be a family style, TF2 exclusive event. We (expectedly, tbh) completely blew away the folks at Being Esports with our unique community love. So much so, that they were dead set on hosting another event, even though the previous venue is not available anymore.
But enough with the jibber jabber, lets talk facts:

What?
ÜBERFEST 2025

When?
20th to 23rd of November 2025
main tournament (6v6, duh) from friday - sunday

Where?
1337 Camp in Stuttgart Germany
Maybachstraße 24, 71332 Waiblingen

Capacity:
The venue is currently capable of hosting 16 teams as well as additional community members who would like to be part of he event (i.e. spectators)

Prize Pool:
2.500€ prize pool

Tickets:
Taking feedback from last year into account, we agreed to only offer team tickets this time around.
Tickets will go on sale on the 29th of August 2025 at 18:00 CEST. We will have one initial wave of tickets as well as a few tickets that we will hold back for a potential group of invites.

We encourage everyone who would like to join our event alone or as 7th/ coach to get in touch with us through our event discord server as we should have a few gaming stations free for guests who would like to participate in this way.

If you are a team leader who intends to play in the invite bracket, please do NOT hesitate to contact me (DCS) via Discord - @stinson_out

Cost:
Team tickets: 900 €
A team tickets will include a PC, a monitor and access to our main and b-tournament for 6 players.

VIP Team Ticket – 1470€
A VIP team ticket will include a PC, a monitor and access to our open and b-tournament for 6 players. VIP team tickets will include free snacks and drinks as well as a filled fridge and the best gaming rooms and PCs available in the venue.

Community Ticket – 27,50€
A community ticket will grant a visitor access to the venue for the entire duration of the event.

Accommodation:
ÜBERFEST 2025 is taking the community aspect to a new level: 50 beds will be available in house. You literally only walk up a flight of stairs and fall into bed whenever you like (except when you are supposed to play - then I will chase you and drag you down at your ears).
Prizes are not completely set yet, but we intend to sell these for roughly 40 € per night per person. Please note that these rooms are 2-bed-rooms and 3-bed-rooms and will only be sold as such, not individually. The final allocation of these beds to individual people will lie within the responsibility of person who booked the room.

Further Information:
Please find a few extra points on ÜBERFEST 2025 that we would love for you to know:

1. Just as last year, we will broadcast all matches and additional content around the matches on twitch.tv/kritzkast
   
2. Please note that 1337 Camp will have a slightly different layout than BaseStack Dortmund. There will not be one big lan area as last time but rather multiple rooms across which teams will be separated. Check 1337 Camp's website to see the layout. There will be team rooms and community spaces to get together for drinks, relaxation, food and to chill out with friends.
   
3. With no dedicated stage room we're turning one of 1337 Camp's community spaces into a unique broadcast stage (we have a few amazing ideas in mind) and a different area of the venue into a viewing & party space.
   
4. Unlike at ÜBERFEST 2024 we will not have to close the venue down at night time. However this means that we will have to ask visitors to respect a few noise and privacy rules in the sleeping floors at night.
   
5. If you weren’t able to or prefer not to book a sleeping space on site please note that there of course are several affordable hotels in the area of the venue!

We hope that this post has already answered most of the questions you might have. However, if there is anything else you would like to know, please ask us on our ÜBERFEST Discord

More information on our event and the ticket sale will follow very soon!

All that is left to say... is CU@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ÜBERFEST will return in 2025!!!

Save the date: 12th-14th September 2025 (early access 11th)

Make sure to use our hashtag #UBERFEST24 when posting about the event on social media and share your experience with everyone!
Can't wait? Some early impressions are already being shared on X!

I was hoping Norris would catch Verstappen in the Championship standings eventually, but what Max did today was worthy of a Champion. Completely schooled everybody... gotta give credit where credit is due.

Obviously the evening of Day 1 and the B-Tournament heavily depend on the signups for open, but this should already give you a pretty good idea of what's ahead! (:

Helpful information for travel and accommodation:

Adress of the Venue:

BaseStack
Kampstraße 1
44137 Dortmund
Germany

- by car

• It is possible to drive right up to the main entrance of the venue. Parking is not allowed there though. In the near vicinity there are several car parks. Ranging from 10-20€ fee per day. Many hotels offer a parking spot with the stay that are often cheaper than the parking lots or even free! Make sure to ask at your hotel!

- by train

• By train you should book one to Dortmund Hauptbahnhof (Hbf), i.e. Dortmund Main Station. There are ICE routes from basically all directions of Germany. From Dortmund Hauptbahnhof it is a 12 minute walk to the venue.

- by plane

• The two closest airports are Dortmund (closer, but less frequented) & Dusseldorf (~1h by train to Dortmund Main Station). Nevertheless there are trains going to Dortmund from other airports as well (e.g. Hamburg, Frankfurt, Munich, Hanover) but are a 3-5h train ride away.

There are 3 hotels that are recommended by Being Esports:

• Prizeotel
  cheapest option - approx. 5 minute walk to the venue - quiet und good value
  
  
• BaseCamp
  Hotel right next door (20 second walk) - neat, clean rooms and good breakfast
  
  
• Hotel Unique Dortmund
  affordable 4 star hotel - 10 minute walk to the venue - very close to the train station - fairly luxurious

Other options are available, but have not been tested.

Attention everyone: Signups are now open!.

Make sure all of your teammates have purchased a participant ticket before you sign up.
You have until 31st October to sign up your team!
However. if you have all of your teammates confirmed, we would kindly ask you to sign up earlier rather than later in order for us to get a good feeling for how many have completed their rosters and how many are still looking to fill their last spots.
If you need any help, do not hesitate to reach out to us via the ÜBERFEST Discord!

Since the Basestack ticket shop does not work for a lot of people, Being X set up their own.
Henceforth you can buy your spectator tickets via https://www.eventbrite.com/e/uberfest-2024-tickets-1014901948047!

Player tickets are sold out at the moment. If any tickets circle back from people refunding theirs, they will be available in this shop as well.

After a lot of planing, calculating and securing extra PCs, we are happy that we can finally inform you about our second wave of ÜBERFEST 2024 tickets. In our second wave, we will have a total of 30 additional player tickets up for grabs.

In total that means that we will open doors to 21 teams at ÜBERFEST 2024.

A couple of important points of information:

• Wave 2 of tickets will go live on the 29th of August at 3pm CEST (to give you enough time to make plans and form teams both before and after the wave)
  
• Wave 2 will EXCLUSIVELY include player tickets and no full team tickets
  
• Wave 2 will include up to 80 additional viewer tickets for those of you who just want to join in on the fun, community evenings and parties
