Today, UK Lan organisation wiredout returns with it's biggest and most ambitious lan event yet.
After the successes of the four Wired Inn events, and the less successful wiredout 1, Dylan has gone back to the drawing board, decided (rightly) that there are no lan centres in the UK capable of holding a quality large event, and decided to do it all himself.
wiredout 2 takes place over the weekend of the 5th/6th/7th March at the Jurys Inn Hotel in Birmingham city centre. Dylan has also managed to get the event sponsored by Intel, who are providing a full complement of shiny, bespoke pc's for the tournaments.
There will be a 16 team tournament for both Source and 1.6, each with a prizepot of £1600. The tournament structure itself is open to suggestions at this point, so if you have a genius plan you can get on to the man himself at the email address listed below. There will be a bootcamp all day on the friday, followed by the tournament proper taking place on the saturday and sunday.
Attendance will cost £175 per team, and will guarantee a minimum of four competetive fixtures. Get yourselves signed up early, as this is sure to be the best non-byoc lan in years, and places will fill fast!
A website is under development, but in the meantime you can visit #wiredout on Quakenet, or email Dylan himself at: dylan4000@iol.ie
