Just a reminder that the price of the ticket will go up $5 at 12:01 AM EST on August 1st.

Just got confirmation from Valve that RGB LAN 7 will have medals. :)

RGB 6 medals were distributed a few hours ago. You'll need to launch the game and claim them.

I'm asking Valve if they can do medals for RGB 7.

What are the details of the hotel?

The following two hotels are extremely close to each other and about a mile from the venue.
Hilton Garden Inn Valley Forge/Oaks
Hampton Inn & Suites Valley Forge/Oaks

There's another hotel about eight minutes down the road that has a discount code.

I'd suggest buying a hotel room sooner than later, as hotels tend to fill up kinda fast in the area.

Can I play in other tournaments? And when is the TF2 tournament?
You may only play in other tournaments if and when you’ve been eliminated from the TF2 tournament. There are no tournaments on Sunday.
Team signup deadline: Friday (9/6) at 6:30 PM
Group stage: Friday (9/6) at 7 PM
Double elimination: Saturday (9/7) at 11 AM

If someone on your team can't make a group stage match in time, you may use a ringer. Just a reminder that group stage is used only for seeding and no one gets eliminated.

If anyone wants to complete their first round match of double elimination on Friday night, you'll be allowed as long as both teams agree.

Huge shoutout to everyone who attended for what was another fun and successful event. We also raised $10,000 for charity, which is amazing. Thank you so much, and we look forward to seeing everyone again for the next LAN!

https://rgb-lan.challonge.com/rgb6tf2

A reminder that I need teams signed up and paid by 6:30 PM today. The table I'm sitting at is directly next to the main stage, so find me and sign up! Group stage will be starting at 7 PM.

Online ticket sales will be closed at 11:59 PM ET on 2/13, but you can still buy your ticket at the door.

Get your tickets online here. Ticket sales can now be purchased only at the door.

You generally want to use ~10 moves in neutral, give or take a few moves depending on the character. If you watch pro matches, you'll see about 10-15 moves used a lot to give you a good idea of what to use. When to use these moves is a little subjective and depends on the situation and your read of your opponent.

Today is the last day to order rentals for PCs and monitors!

The final price increase increase for tickets is February 1st ($85->$90).

Still sticking with Alisa for now, and will play anyone online or at RGB!
