Landed 6 Host Second Extreme Edition Challenge

Posted by arsen at 02:20 11/3/2004.

Within the last hour, the organisers of the upcoming Landed LAN 6 have revealed that they are to host the second Intel-sponsored Extreme Edition Challenge.

Those who care to remember back to December last year, will recall the previous Extreme Edition Challenge was held at Landed LAN 5. The challenge saw two Intel sponsored teams face off against each other in 3 games. 4K won that event, overcoming the French clan Armateam, and will now try to hold onto the title at Landed 6. Their job is likely to be harder this time around, as they will face off against none other than the fearsome Swedes, Schroet Kommando.

There will be full commentary by TSN and an event movie to look forward to by non other than Simon Bysshe. The main event of Intel's Extreme Edition Challenge will no doubt attract much attention as two of the Worlds best clans battle it out at the Oxford venue.

The actual event will be a 150 player BYOC LAN hosting games from CS, Q3 and C&C Generals, with the Main event to follow. The venue boasts a huge floor fit for 1200 people with big screens for HLTV (...and rumours of a bar and even pool tables at the back.).

When, where and how much? I hear you shout. Well the time is March 26th - 28th at the Oxford Brooke Students' Union. The cost of entrance into BYOC is just £30. The full press release is also available. Sign-ups open at 8pm tonight.

Update: 4Kings' line-up will be: Mangiacapra - Harriman - Migotti - Andersen - Bielenberg - Nightman

ye i thought that, but then i was on SK insider today and looking at their Korea tour... theyre like in a street full of people signing tshirts and autographs n stuff.. like mad.

You cant go to SK insider and see the photos and not think that gaming will become the biggest thing ever.

"You cant go to SK insider and see the photos and not think that gaming will become the biggest thing ever."

The fact we the average gamer can't see those since only the few hundred with SK insider accounts can is exactly why gaming won't become the biggest thing ever. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I have to agree with whats been said, Landed was announced too close to the event time. Obviously i dunno what happens at your end in regards to booking the venue... but yeh.

f00k me the Landed boys have come along way since the first event I attended, any1 on the fence about going has got to realise these lads really have a passion for what they do and like nothing more then seeing these events go smoothly, the price of the booze last time was criminal, half pint a coke was free for when uve got a thirst and was something like 80p a pint if I remember rightly, student heaven.

cheers b0sh mate, glad to see its noticable. End of the day, we're games players, we'd want the best event possible, so ye, we give a f*** basically! :)

Rest assured the Intel/Landed balance is better this time and the Landed tournament(s) will be absolutely fantastic... with the Landed cs final being played on the Intel stage with TsN commentry and the works.

Now come on...how often do you get the chance to do that! :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i dunno i see both sides of the coin for byoc.. its a hassle getting ur machine there and for things like ultra serious cs tournaments its still not a level playing field as such.

But nothing beats ur own pc for feeling relaxed n comfortable all weekend :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Congratulations to Simon, Coops and the team.

Well done

Wow! How far has Landed come?!

From starting off as just an excuse for all the CIX + LOTR & co. ppl to meet each other for a laugh and a few games and pints its gone to being the most highprofile tournament in the UK!

I seem to remember Phle saying that Landed would never 'go pro' but i guess Si had other ideas ;-)

it has defiantely paid off for you guys. Well done :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Hey Otis, nice to hear kind words :)

Landed still has the community feel it had back in the first couple of events, we've just got progressively bigger and better.

Theres a difference between going 'pro' and running a professional organisation. I hope we've found the balance. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
