The LAN wasn't to bad overall, the atmosphere was great and the people just amazing, it's actually kind of refreshing that since you dropped COD4 as a competition the amount of people screaming for no god damn reason seemed to have died (It's quite possibly I'm a few LANs late, but my god, I appreciate the peace).
The AFK comps were pretty sweet too, Melee was fun, and Cards against humanity is always a barrel of laughs. A suggestion though (even if we brought our own) would be hosting a variety of popular board games such as Monopoly or even Jenga could be a hit.
The main irritation that I had this LAN was the competition organization. It was more indirectly frustrating but, I was apart of the LoL team that came in second place, during the time of running the competition we were told that some competitions we initially signed up will run during the LoL competition, we just said we'd forfeit them (This isn't the irritation as I completely understand else you wouldn't be able to complete all of them by the end of the LAN) however, we were told that the 1v1 LoL Tournament wouldn't start until the 5v5 tournament was finished. Then as we're half way through the 2nd Game of the final the winners for the 1v1 tournament were being given the prizes. I just don't understand why you would host your second league competition while you have 10 people (with a guaranteed 5 from our team) who were keen to play in it already a tournament from that game, besides the fact we cleared it with the organizer who told us it wouldn't start until it was done. Honestly though, I'm not even annoyed we didn't get a supplementary prize for coming in second, even though it has happened with CS/Starcraft in previous LANs as well as this LAN (starcraft anyway) as I heard the reason for not accommodating for runners up, as it wasn't feasible and completely justified. But if I was completely driven by prizes, I would of dropped from my team to play in the 1v1 competition after the 1st game which we lost, just so I could of played in the 1v1 comp. It's just that broken promise that's irritated me.
Besides that, another great LAN :>.
Excuse the horrible formatting too, I haven't slept.
