Yes, literally two clicks and it was done.

Pretty much everything about it, the atmosphere the people there...

Probably the fact nobody streamed the games, my friends couldn't watch the games haha
What are some things that you could see being improved upon to make your experience better?
Stream the games, maybe get a projector as well so the people not playing could watch the games.

didnt pre pay but it looked pretty simple

What did you enjoy about the event?
friendly admins and well planned brackets

What did you dislike about the event?
improper map selection (should go to a pick and ban system to remove the RNG of bad maps)

What are some things that you could see being improved upon to make your experience better?
a stream/ GOTV connection would be amazing, it would get alot of viewers

Would you attend another LANified! event?
yeah you did a better job at managing time then spangler ;)

If no, why not?

5, my only complaint is the fact that prize pools are based only off pre-orders rather than total income at the start of the event.

yeap, would suggest other alternatives to paypal but I use paypal so.
What did you enjoy about the event?
Basically everything, would like a bigger prize pool and more people.
What did you dislike about the event?
Not as many teams as I would have liked to have seen, but quality people (for the most part) Admins where quick to answer questions, and games progressed smoothly. Map choosing needs an overhaul tho, Pick, Pick, Ban, Ban, Random.
What are some things that you could see being improved upon to make your experience better?
Better advertising, more mini tornaments (out of game as well as in) Knife for sides, RnG doesnt belong in skill based games.
Would you attend another LANified! event?
Absolutely
If no, why not?

How did you hear about the event?
Google and Reddit mostly.

Was it easy to sign up for and/or pre-pay for the event?
Absolutely!

What did you enjoy about the event?
The positive vibe surrounding the event, and the amount of friendly people! Great admins too (thanks zak ;) )

What did you dislike about the event?
Blatant cheater on one team, no demo's to prove it. Map selection system was horrid. Nametags were awesome but a bit flimsy.

What are some things that you could see being improved upon to make your experience better?
Official livestream of the games maybe? Banning maps to pick, demo recordings. Better chairs haha.

Would you attend another LANified! event?
Oh yeah! It was a great experience and a lot of fun, would definitely show up again! Next time I'll be sure to prepay so I can have a sexier nametag!

If no, why not?
N/A

4, again map selection is just brutal, it opens the doors for a team to practice just one or two maps and force them upon the other team, then absolutely roll them. The servers were fantastic, experienced no lag whatsoever. Almost every attendee was friendly and fun to play with. Admins did their job very well. Overall a fantastic experience with some room to improve, but would definitely recommend trying to get some dedicated PC's for the matches.

Brody "Alien" Jameson is a scumbag and should be banned from future LANs. I was yelling my ass off due to his team being douchebags to TheSilver5. Something big is coming Brody ;)

4~ prizing felt a bit skewed because 2nd place requires a large amount of prepay rather than the entries being totaled and split.

No coin toss for map, it should be pick/ban for each side and the last one random of the remaining maps - then just knife for side choice.

How did you hear about the event?
BloodyIron on Steam.

Was it easy to sign up for and/or pre-pay for the event?
I clicked a few things it was easy.

What did you enjoy about the event?
The giveaways and the Arms Race mini tournament. Thank you so much for the knife.

What did you dislike about the event?
The fact that I was really sick the whole time and that I was unlucky and didn't find a team to play Counterstrike with. Can't complain though I was offered a lot of help with that, it was only last minute circumstances resulted in me being teamless. My problem would probably have been solved if more people showed up. (Only I would have still been sick)

From what I saw and heard the pick and ban system for maps could have been improved. I had no idea that the Arms Race mini tournament was live.

What are some things that you could see being improved upon to make your experience better?
Finding a team and playing some fun LAN Counterstrike games. Some sort of stream or projector (no caster required) put in the other room in some way for spectators to watch during down time rather than creeping behind people.

Would you attend another LANified! event?
Of course, assuming that I have an open work schedule and I play the main game featured at the event.

4. The arms race tournament was really fun. Servers were solid. Prizing for the arms race tournament was better than expected. In terms of prizing for the main tournament the plaque idea was extremely cool, only the monetary prize pool could have been a tad higher depending on the amount of people there.

I loved the trashtalk between the teams it was hilarious. People shouldn't be banned for this, as long as trashtalk is non threatening in nature it should be allowed. You should also make someone record demos of the games in console, and upload them on the site. Not only would these be fun to go back to and watch, it would also ease peoples doubts on cheating happening on the event. (I am 100% sure there wasn't any cheating at the event)
