Hol' up

Unfortunately we have no updates for you at this time, for better or worse.

FIA with even more controversial decisions than RGL smh

#32 made me laugh. I am not sad anymore

tfw you need 2 points to win your fantasy matchup while having two players active in ppr and then the patriots refuse to throw the ball. I'm sad.

Do not sleep on ruwin and PYYYOUR (that enough Ys?). No scout wanted to 1v1 ruwin in his prime and PYYYOUR afaik was the first "modern era" medic who put a shitton of thought into how to play medic at the highest level. Just an awesome mind. Also both won i46, the first ever intercontinental LAN.
Top 10 or riot

We have no information about whether you will be able to enter with a negative test. However, afaik that would only be possible if the test is less than 24h old in the first place.
I am told Denmark has reintroduced COVID19 policies again as of today (they previously had no restrictions whatsoever). This is an indication that the situation there can change quickly. In my personal opinion, I would expect that by april 2022 conventions, concerts and other events will likely only be allowed for people with a vaccination or recovery.
In any case, you will have to decide whether you want to take the risk and book your stuff if you are not planning on getting vaccinated.

What's in the pasta salad though?

We are aware that this is a rather big issue. That is why we wanted to let you know about this ASAP. We might find a solution for invite teams or at least for the NA gamers, but we simply do not know.
Europeans could consider to carpool or take a train rather than going by plane. Brits could possibly take a monitor in their hand luggage since it is not a very long flight (will cost a couple extra bucks, but so will a rental).
I have hosted LANs literally "In the Middle of Nowhere, Germany" without any rentals at all and people still showed up (shoutout to DeutschLAN!).

But I agree, it is far from ideal. We will do what we can! But right now it does not look good in that regard.

It will be less. How much less, we cannot say atm. Stay tuned!

No news on specs. Will take a few weeks until there are any updates on that I would assume.

Update:

It is highly likely that everything at Copenhagen Games 2022 will be a little bit smaller than the last events that were held. Due to COVID 19 still being around, a lot of sponsors have moved their budgets for such events to 2023 already. In turn this means that we will have to slim down some things and manage with what we got.
That said, we have decided to not run Highlander (or any other competitive gamemode other than 6v6) this year. This enables us to save staff and some other ressources in order to provide you with a better experience and ultimately also a bigger prizepool. For future events we will revisit the topic.

A smaller budget will also lead to us not being able to provide you with monitors to rent. PC rentals, however, are going to be a thing. We cannot give you an exact estimate of rental cost, but it should be somewhere in the admittedly gigantic span between 120 - 180 €.

Ticket prices for participants are also not known to us at this point. The very rough estimate is 70-100 €.

Due to popular demand we will make sure to run a tournament for all teams that have been eliminated in the groupstage (otherwise known as "b-tournament"). Whether or not we will be able to provide small prizes is up in the air. We just want to make sure people can play more - and arguably more balanced - games on day 2 of the LAN if they so desire.

There is no exact timetable for the official announcement of Copenhagen Games 2022 yet. As soon as there is, tickets will be available to be purchased.
Teams who are planning to compete in the invite bracket are encouraged to contact us (Heny or me) before purchasing theirs.

Last but not least, it is almost a certainty that entry to the event will only be possible with proof of vaccination against or recovery of COVID19.

We are aware that some of the information provided are imprecise at this point and some may be not to your liking. But we have decided to be upfront with you about everything that could be important for your decision before booking your travel and accommodation.

Awesome! Good luck!
