I cannot believe I read through the whole thing.

go short then

WW III joke anyone?

One can care about it without being able to stop the war themselves.
Making fun about this invasion when you know people are suffering as we speak and especially after some members of our community expressed in this very thread that they have family living in the affected regions, is insanely disrespectful.

Not saying you can never make jokes about serious topics, but there is a time and a place.

Is this view popular amongst Russians or is it just young folks thinking like this?

Unfortunately that is not how it works. Admins, especially those of the major leagues and those dealing with the top levels, have to hold themselves to a higher standart than the average player; even in their "spare time". I have been living with this curse for the better part of the last decade.
The correct response would have been to just walk away / let him talk his shit.

Hello beautiful people!

We sincerely apologize for the radio silence over the last weeks. Let me assure you the minds behind Copenhagen Games 2022 have been very busy behind the scenes!
We are happy to be able to tell you that we have reached a verbal agreement with hardware partners in order to provide enough rentals to accommodate 24 teams total!

The rentals include monitors and PCs!
We do not know the exact specs yet, but monitors should all be 240 Hz (24.5 inch, some a bit smaller) and the majority of PCs will have Intel Core i7-11700F and the others will have i5-8400 or similar. Rental packages will be priced around 200 € (that includes thursday-saturday afternoon, pickups probably possible wednesday evening) with the better specs likely to cost a little more, the others a little less than 200.

Please note that the contracts on the rentals are not signed yet. We are, however, confident that the verbal agreement will be put into a written contract as early as the end of next week. Since there is not a lot of time left until the event we wanted to once again be transparent about things and give you the opportunity to book your tickets if you wish to do so.

LAN tickets will not automatically be linked to your rental reservation. You may book your LAN tickets independently, as we are yet to figure out if rentals will be bookable via the Copenhagen Games website or another service.

As I am writing this we are working on the details for the tournament as well as signups, so expect an update fairly soon.

Cu@!

Actually kind of impressive to still win the map after an embarrassing round loss like this.

Because we as PhoenixRed are only responsible for the TF2 tournament. Copenhagen Games is hosting the event as a whole and has not announced any details on that matter. They will probably end up going with whatever protocols the Danish government decides on for events like this. It will likely depend on what the COVID situation is in Denmark at that time.
Generally speaking, if you are afraid to contract COVID - which is fair - you should consider not attending an event with potentially hundreds of people in any case.

Thank you for your feedback!

Will forward your suggestion, but not sure how realistic this is.

Amen

Somebody get the pitchforks and torches

Edit: I am glad I guessed the exact right amount of Ys

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
