Firstly just wanna say it was an awesome trip, thanks to MSi and SoundBlaster for all their support and sending us over. The people we met in NZ were all kool, everyone was friendly and it was a great event. Arseynimz and his crew did an amazing job all weekend. The gamestah crew also did a top job, shoutout to da man and gee, hope u guys survived after sunday nights effort haha

Note that we got to play on our MSI GT740 laptops for the majority of our group matches and semi final except for 2 which were on the stage. Our monitors that were supposed to be supplied to us over there never rocked up Made it quite hard as the laptops get huge fps, but that's not so good when you have tiny/low Hz Screens

Thanks to Virol and Pandan for everything, u guys were great.

I played better on the laptops than the stage PCs haha

Good results guys. I was wondering why the first screens had terrible IQ, hahaha.

Sounds like a bit of gravy soup sensuki ;p

Always love a bit of AU v NZ rivalry, with a little bit of gee up as always.

xLAN was great fun last year, and definitely didn't disappoint again this year!

WELL DONE BOYS

great job guys and all the hard work really showed in the results, without dropping a map at a big LAN like that. congratulations to Sensuki with his amazing performance on vacant against xeta with 22-4. Great job boys

And for anyone wondering, i thought i'd just link some pics of the main stage's here. Thanks to xlan.co.nz

Was an amazing event and by far the biggest and best lan I've ever personally attended. Huge shoutout to Arseynimz <3, the on3network, gamestah and all the other crews around the place for putting on the event and managing it over the weekend. It can only get bigger and better from now on, so hopefully we'll be back again to experience xLan
