my 1st impression of sweden was... freeeezing! I arrived to the lan with my mates Hectic and Meugnin (and her cousin), along with Hedgepig. The venue was great. plenty of room, nice showers, quiet sleeping area... We sitted next to Driz, behind me were the SD guys (no sassa though).
We started installing, Peppe had a pc for hectic (which turned out to be not-ok - thanks anyway) and willgurt had a pc for meugnin. hectic installed windows more than 10 times, with no success. at the very end of day 1, zalon told me he had an extra pc. On the next day, hectic could play also. I was tired of getting raped all the time, so i went sleeping. Quiet and nice. Thank god i brought my sleeping bag.
Next morning, 1st thing, showers
asked for key, nice clean shower. back for the lan. Zalon intruduced me to his Skoda, which left us in a small mall in Marsta. kebab pizza and interview time with phil and his camera. In the afternoon i met nikodemos (!) from clan 9, one of my highlights of the lan. He's an entrepeneur, he runs an entertainment "place" in stockholm for all ages. too bad i didnt got the address, i would have liked to visit it. Pizza time, 10sek each, not bad. also energy drinks 15sek for 2, not bad either. The next day, zalon got me and hectic a burger. ahh, food
was nice.
Regarding tournaments, my personal experience was bad. i kept the "loosing face" until the last day, where i did some nice rounds. but not official ones, lol.
Most of the guys were very nice, very cool. Overall i enjoyed the lan alot, had some interesting discussions and it was well worth it. I would like to thank, in no particular order, Zalon for all his availability and running the tournaments (also very active in the community) , Peppe for always trying to solve our problems, Willgurt for lending his pc and getting the tournaments running, Phil for the commentary and everything, Lorn for the help. It was very nice to meet all of you, and these guys also: driz, hedgepig, sidd, the kurwas, locktar, ruskie, nikodemos, pericles, raz0, paradoks... and everyone, including the crew. Thanks, and hope to see u next year.
