QHLAN update and mini-intervews
If it is any measure of the LANs success, I got to say that I have had a lot less time to even make a regular blog post, like I was able at Dreamhack. Maybe there is not 13,000 people here, but the gaming is a lot more fun!!!

Spoilers below...
The 1on1 and 2on2 tournaments are over. This has, so far, been a Firing Squad lan, as Reppie takes the 1on1 victory and together with Razor they also take the 2on2 trophey. Reppie's win is very well earned, the competition has been probably even harder than at Dreamhack. The final went the full 5 map distance (as well as his group game vs his lan nemesis, mawe.) I highly recommend you check out the demos if you could not see it live.

Nabbe improves greatly over his Dreamhack performance, with a really close 2nd place. Mawe gets third taking a map away from Nabbe, I think that is his best lan performance? Locust continues to finish in the money with 4th place, winning DM4 vs everyone except Reppie. In the 2on2, 1mb4 (bps, molecule) and PRO (mawe, and????) distinguished themselves, finishing in the top 4.

In a couple of hours, after the qw lot crams some sleep hours into their schedule, the 4on4 will commence. SD is the only team fully represnted at the lan, I think, and there is a mix team that has assembled itself consisting of ParadokS, phrenic, grisling, and interceptor. The Hungarians are here in full force also, Coobra, Milamber, Orion, and Zero, and they have been looking strong in 4on4, and I bet there is a couple of other teams that will solidify soon.

I also did some flash interviews with:

ParadokS before the 1on1 tourney (I know he is having better luck in the poker cash games right now!)
Interceptor explaining his absense from most of the tourneys (including a cameo by Sassa, when he describes his favorite hobby)
Reppie before the playoffs
Reppie after winning 1on1 and 2on2
