But what is this LAN party about? Why should I attend?

LAN parties are where we all get together with our computers, form a network, and play ludicrous amounts of games! At our LAN parties we also feature main and mini-tournaments, in addition to the social gaming that organically flourishes.

LAN parties offer a friendly, social atmosphere where you can find other gamers to play with, make friends and generally have a blast with! We are all here to have a great time, so it is really easy to get caught up in the fun.

I want to play games other than the tournament games, am I still welcome?

You certainly are! We all love playing games of all shapes and sizes, and part of what makes LAN parties exciting is discovering awesome games new or old! You may even get caught up in games you've never even heard of before too!


I am new to competitive gaming, can I still enter the tournaments?

Everyone starts somewhere and we want to foster more people getting into competition. Competition like tournaments are a blast, even if you don't necessarily take first place!
