Personally hate it because there is just too much going on on my screen. My eyes hurt everytime I played it.

Update #2:

Hey gamers,

so as danny already mentioned the tickets are now on sale!
You do not have to, but of course we recommend you stay at the RCADIA hotel as well. Click here to book your room!

Furthermore, registrations for the 6v6 event are also open. Check out our toornament page for more details and to register your team today!
As you may have noticed we will also host a small Highlander tournament for anyone who's interested! The plan is to run it simultaneously to the 6v6 B-Tournament on saturday. So anyone who got knocked out of the 6v6 group stages will be able to participate if they so choose to!
Registrations for the Highlander tournament will open at a later time closer to the event on a separate toornament page. Bear in mind HL will have no prizes.

Speaking of prizes. RCADIA is providing a base prizepool of 1.500 € for the 6v6 tournament.
While this is not the biggest prizepool as of now, it is subject to increase. We are currently working on finding sponsorship for the event.
Strength in numbers: We can expect the prizepool to expand if we sell a lot of tickets for the event. RCADIA does not know us or the TF2 community yet, but we are confident they will be open to adding to the prizepool if we meet certain goals. So if you are set on attending, it would help us out immensely if you booked and registered sooner rather than later in order for our hosts to get a better idea of what to expect from the event - while also securing the early bird rates for yourselves! Also make sure to follow RCADIA's twitter and like or retweet anything TF2!

You should join the RCADIA Discord and grab the TF2 role. Communication during the event as well as announcements will happen via this server.

We do not know the specs of the rentals yet, but will let you know ASAP!

Any prem-level teams that have their eyes set on joining our invite bracket for this event please reach out to me on discord or steam, preferably until thursday afternoon.

Not a halal connoisseur, but Hamburg is a fricking big city with 1,8 mio inhabitants. I would be very surprised if there wasn't halal food fairly closeby.

Hey guys,

we are very excited to be partnering up with the TFConnect crew who will produce their annual charity stream benefitting SpecialEffect live from the RCADIA hotel!

SpecialEffect is supporting physically disabled people improve their quality of live by helping them control video games to the best of their abilities! For more information please check out the TFConnect and SpecialEffect websites!

EDIT: Unfortunately, our plans to colaborate with TFConnect fell through. Sorry guys!

Hey guys,
I know all of you are longing for updates, especially those that came home from insomnia!
Just letting you know that we will likely not have any news in the next 10-14 days, since our contact at RCADIA (you may have met her and her dope engineer cosplay at insomnia) is on vacation.
So if we are silent until then it does not mean that there are any problems.
Signups / ticket sales should be online soon after she is back in the office.

Hope you all got home safely and defeat your LAN deaths!

terrible admining

There will be a 6s tournament for sure. But we are planning to run at least one side competition. At this point it is not decided what that’s gonna be. Could be any competitive mode (2v2, 4v4, 7v7, 9v9).

SAVE THE DATE

Good day, beautiful gamers!

I would like to hereby inform you that the bosses over at the RCADIA in Hamburg, Germany have given their thumbs up for an awesome weekend of TF2 in their venue!

WHEN?
25th - 27th November 2022

WHAT?
A weekend all about TF2. The centerpiece will of course be a BYOC competitive TF2 tournament.
"What makes THIS one so special"? Glad you asked...
This event is also meant to be aimed at a variety of other parts of the community:
Casual players, influencers, SFM animators (maybe even cosplayers?) and many more! Anyone who loves this game is welcome!
Currently there are a lot of ideas floating around for different highlights, meet 'n' greets, workshops, tournaments and competitions. But one thing is for sure: you will not have to be a keen or even pro player in order to have a great time at RCADIA.
There will be a stream for you to watch, produced by PhoenixRed with the support of our hosts.

Which brings us to the WHERE?
RCADIA Hamburg, Germany
Oberer Landweg 27 - 29
21033 Hamburg

Never heard about this place? Basically, picture an ideal place to have a LAN, a bootcamp and/or a stream event at.
And the best part? It is also a hotel. More specifically, a hotel which was designed with the gaming community in mind. You will not even have to go outside when time has come to lie down! This place is an all-in-1 kind of deal.
You can choose whether to bring your own PC or rent one from RCADIA. They will have at least 60 machines (probably more) waiting for you to pick up and play all weekend.
Since RCADIA offers everything, we expect tickets, accommodation and rentals (as a package) to be cheaper than events like Copenhagen Games or Insomnia.
Your team may even book a separate room in which you can scrim or hangout bootcamp-style! And do not forget about the streamer booths as well as the gaming area (open for the public every day) which includes PCs, Simulation Racing, VR Tower Tag and an AR Escape Room... everything is ready and waiting for you!

If you wanna check out their place, feel free to browse the website RCADIA.de. Unfortunately a large part of it is in German, but you will get a good idea of what this place offers.

This post has been written mere hours after the event got the OK. Expect many more details to follow within the upcoming weeks.
We just wanted to make sure the community is aware of the event, so you can save the date (and some money)! Hamburg is also beautiful, so make sure you have some time to spare to explore the city.

We cannot wait to welcome you all!

Someone start a fundraiser so Rahmed can afford his i69 ticket
