How dare you

Friendly reminder for all teams who intend to compete in the invite bracket at ÜBERFEST to contact me via DMs until the end of the month!

Hello everyone,

we have received a lot of valuable feedback from your side over the past few days and would like to thank you for your enthusiasm! Working through your feedback has made us realize that we have had some critical misconceptions regarding the planning of our event.

Before we get into details, some initial points:

1. We are looking forward to meeting the best players of the scene in November. However, this does not mean that the event only caters to these teams. Everyone who plans to attend ÜBERFEST will be welcome.
   
2. There are enough tickets left! Our first ticket wave consisted of just over 50% of the venue’s player capacity.
   
3. We are still hoping to expand the number of PCs and rooms available for ÜBERFEST 2024

And now the details

1. We are working with a big event team, so to avoid misunderstandings in the future, all further official communication will come from the following people. If you want talk privately with us, please open a supportticket
   • be_gideon and be_benni from BEING ESPORTS
   • DCS as head admin
   • JMaxchill in a supporting role
   • Wiethoofd as lead production
   
2. ÜBERFEST 2024 has no affiliation with poLANd.tf. The fact that ÜBERFEST takes place at BaseStack Dortmund is 100% coincidental; BEING ESPORTS has hosted different events there before.
   
3. The biggest, underlying mistake we made was severely underestimating the sheer number of people interested in playing at our event. As the Head Tournament Admin, I take full responsibility for that. As a result of our team not taking poLANd.tf into account, we were operating under the impressions of previous events like RCADIA and Insomnia, both events with participation numbers that we can easily accommodate.

To make ÜBERFEST the best possible experience for everyone, we will:

• exclude 6 team tickets from the second wave of sales to provide prem level teams with an opportunity to participate with their strongest rosters. If you are a leader of a team interested in playing in the invite bracket at ÜBERFEST, please DM DCS on Discord.
  
• hold an online qualifier for the invite group if more than 6 eligible teams reach out. The open tournament will be just that: open for anyone, on a first come first serve basis.
  
• delay the second wave of ticket sales for now. Details will be published later.

While we want top level competition every “customer” of the event will be seen as equal. We will under no circumstances force or ask anyone who bought a ticket to refund or sell theirs to another player.

Despite the challenges that we have faced, we believe that this event will be a success and hope to continue working with BEING ESPORTS and you in order to improve for hopefully many events to come in 2025 & beyond!

Hello gamers,

Yeah, that's right: Being Esports are hosting their first ever TF2 event in the home town of the Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund in collaboration with KritzKast!

It features a bar that will be open as long as people are drinking. And the best part: a share of the bar revenue will benefit the overall TF2 budget!

The protect the president thing was actually sounding somewhat interesting intially

Countless Seasons on UGC and ETF2L as well as 2 DeutschLANs. Absolute lads. So many great memories!

https://etf2l.org/teams/174/ HerbsArmy
One of the most legendary teams in ETF2L history overall. Glad I got to be a part of this for a couple of seasons!

As for the single most memorable teammate:
https://etf2l.org/forum/user/24023/ currently calls himself Dahlbeck (used go by Yuffie / Hycz).
Nicest and funniest guy I was around. Never had a bad time playing TF2 or other games with him. I love you Hycz <3

That's a fair point and I might do that in the future, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask around (:

45 Minutes one way

I respect people who listen to whole albums, but I'd rather have a playlist with different artists, so if there are any songs that stick out, I'd appreciate it

Hello friends,

I currently spend a lot of time using public transport and walking. Since it is usually still dark when I leave the house for work and already dark when I come home, I have found that deep(er) music often fits my sleepy / exhausted mood. I have not indulged in this kind of music in the past so I am having trouble filling my playlist.

Since this community is full of magnificient people of impeccable taste in and knowledge of music, I figured that it is the only logical conclusion to ask you guys for help.

Please state the artist and song name exactly as it can be found on spotify, my music streaming service of choice.
I am not bound to a certain genre, but I guess most these songs are gonna be slow and melancholic.

As an example, I am leaving you with the most recent addition:

Billie Eilish - "What Was I Made For?" (which previously unbeknownst to me appears to be a song from the OST of the all popular movie "Barbie")

I am looking forward to your suggestions and thank you in advance!
