QHLan 12 outro

The eagle has landed; I have returned from the alternate universe and am back in NYC. This QHLan was excellent. The network was flawless except for the internet connection which was supplied by Mдrsta and out of the LAN's hands. In the end, I skipped sleeping for the last 2 nights, (which maybe adversely affected the quality of the interviews but oh well) and had an absolute blast, and even met some new qwers and played a little quake

I want to thank (again) all the

organizers, SLA, GEv, QH clan, and all the people behind the scenes. The only piece of the puzzle that was missing were the Finnish div1 players. Not a single one showed up, and I am very disappointed

We'll see how the timing will be next time, I really would like for the Finns and Russians to come to QHLan. This would be the real TGI2. To their credit,

Medar,

1tsinen,

sidd did attend and made a great impact on the lan.

We also had the awesome

polish squad here,

drizzy made it from Australia by way of England (bring Reload next time!), of course

reppie and

ParadokS,

zalon,

raz0,

pericles,

hedgepig, and even a

portugese contingent as well spearheaded by

mushi.

They were all important as they each added their own special color to the gathering. I'm probably missing someone, and for sure there could have been even more players.

Good games!

so there is more? I hoped for some high quality ones like the one with mawe in the last lan.. among phils videos I could only find one interview of bps with really crappy quality and the sound didn't even work!

I can't stop thinking how amazing it is that you get here phil! You're really a standard for other far-away euros a standard to the lamers who stayed home in sweden or finland to follow!

Yeah that is one main reason why I come -- to make sure noone has the excuse of saying "yeah but its too far way blablabla"

(The other main reason really is that far-away LANs are a very good distraction to "reboot" me from the usual day-to-day routine here in NYC/Coruscant)
