Byte — Another day, another LAN. Being the spring lan, this is always the cushion and preparation for the big one in the summer (Insomnia 49), with the hope that at least one american team will be able to come, providing we as a community chip in. For more information regarding this head over to TF.TV
Looking at the i48 attendance list 88 TF2 players signed up with the hope that at least 2 more players will show up to make up a potential of 15 teams! As always no top teams will be attending this LAN, deeming it that the prize fund wouldn’t cater much of a profit for the MGO’s. Which in a way is a good thing, gives a chance to those who aren’t as able to compete at the top and win something, with the aid of a few premiership/division 1 players to carry.
The pot prize for i48 is confirmed at £1000, which will be split for 1st, 2nd and 3rd, more information can be found here. We will keep you informed of the latest scheduling and any information advancing the tournament. The tournament is sponsored by Aqua-tuning, the same company that sponsored us for the massive lan i46, so big props and thanks to them for continuing their support for Team Fortress 2.

*If I’ve missed your team, contact me!
If you would like your team listed, please contact me @ LAN. Arguably the first two teams mentioned are the strongest on paper, however each team has a weak Achilles to which I’m sure they themselves would admit, which probably adds more fun, to make it an unpredictable route to the final for various teams.
VanillaTV will be casting selected games, hopefully providing enough coverage for the audience sitting at home to not miss their buddies/pals in action. Alongside this, am hoping to get some content of some comedy stuff off people, could just approach some random members and put them on the spot! We’ve changed how we show our content now, rather than focus so much on top quality via a amazing camera and so on, we’ll be recording via the phone should be in 720p) and upload straight up through there.

Myself and Pledge will be doing most of the coverage, along with Skully tagging along Saturday evening/Sunday morning. We’re expect a full seated crowd in the final, so please do make sure to join us on Sunday. If you live near Telford and want a spec ticket VanillaTV can pay your ticket for the Sunday (tickets are limited so hurry), if it means getting you there to come watch the final!!
The schedule is yet to be confirmed, but no doubt it will start as always on Friday 22/03/2013, sometime in the afternoon I’ve yet to receive any information from Tapley and Kharne when the tournament starts, we’ll keep you posted and watch the match ticker.
