Three events down and still lovin' it! We had over 20 players from all over Victoria (even Mildura!) come down and frag each other in various games over the 24 hour period.
All sorts of games were played including Armagetron, CS:S, Flatout 2, GTA2, L4D2, LOL, TF2 and even some random car simulators.
It was great to see gamers travel from all over the place to come to the LAN.
A shout out to the 3 guys that traveled all the way from Mildura to come to our LAN. Perhaps I'll be making a return trip up north later in the year.
Another shout out to the guys that came from GreenTubeLAN.
They provided one of the switches we used during the event (thanks guys!).
For those who don't know, GreenTubeLAN is a LAN Group that help run events all over South East Melbourne.

The TF2 competition was my highlight. With TF2 spy mouse pads up for grabs the competition was intense and lots of fun.
It was great to run a competition with more than 2 teams and it was great to see the competitive spirit and team play displayed by each team.
For all the results, match demos and event photos from the LAN check out the

A big thanks goes to Spartan Technologies (our new sponsor by the way), for providing a game server for the winner of the CS:S competition (Wicked AWESOME!).
We look forward to partnering with Spartan Technologies in the future. Check out their website:
