Sponsors and prizes!
Respawn LAN welcomes ThermalTake onboard once again, who are offering the following for us to give away A ThermalTake LANBOX (silver), a Golden ORB II CPU cooler, an O3 air cleaner, a TaiChi M2 Mouse Pad and a Thunderblade 80mm LED fan.
Centrecom are kindly kicking in a MOMO Racing Force Feedback wheel which will be awarded to the winner of the FLATOUT 2 competition.
While you're looking forward to the event, we're working hard at bringing you the best in BYO PC LAN gaming.
Gaming Consoles
We will also be running the gaming console area once again. Quite a number of people are bringing PS3s and XBOX 360 consoles so if you have one of these, we strongly suggest you bring it along! For players bringing their PS3s, info on games and players you can expect to play with at the event can be found here.
Registration
If you plan on coming along, we really do appreciate it when you register. Otherwise, you might wind up sitting on the floor! And we can definitely say that the floor is not the most comfortable of places to sit in front of your PC... |

We've (mostly) recovered.
A big thanks goes out to absolutely everyone who helped us with setting up, running and packing up the event. We really do appreciate it and this doesn't go unnoticed. Especially pack-up, when we're all tired, worn out and want to get out of there as quickly as possible.
Also, a big thanks goes out to our sponsors for this event - Next Byte, Thermaltake and CyberSlam for their continued support for our events and the gaming community in general.
A total of 16 teams signed up for the CS Source competition and we had a very big following with COD4 and Team Fortress 2 which we will run again next event. We will also look at working on our scheduling for our next event to ensure that people can compete in more than one competition without having to delay them. Stay tuned for details!
Plans are already underway for our next event which we should see sometime in the April-May timeframe (or perhaps earlier if we get the itch!).
Into the winners:
COD4 - Aussie Mercs - Thermaltake Perfectlight x 2 - Aezke, Spoof, Pacman
- Thermaltake Thunderblade - Asa
- Thermaltake Smart Case Fan - Fluke
DOTA 5v5 - The Fighting Mongooses - $250
War3 1v1 - 1st place: ForHelen $150, 2nd place Jarvs who won $50 and both took home a Thermaltake polo shirt.
CS:S 5v5 - Czar - $750, second place LiQt, who won Thermaltake LED fans.
TF2 - 6v6 - LiQt - $300
Splashy The Whale - Spiteful - Respawn T-Shirt + stuff
Q3 Instagib: first place Bangalores who took home a Thermaltake notebook cooler, second place kto (a close match!) who won a ThermalTake Tai-Chi M2 mousepad.
'Ghetto' table tennis - justin6 who won a trophy and a Respawn LAN v6 t-shirt.
Flatout2 - Oohms who won a Thermaltake Golden Orb II CPU cooler
Door Prize winners:
Meatballs - Thermaltake Thunderblade 80mm led fan
Tibor - Thermaltake O3 air cleaner
bunnyhunter is always winning stuff and took home a Thermaltake Thunderblade LED fan (after we gave it to him..)
The hard drive throwing didn't run this time however it will be back for sure at v7 and we might bump this to Saturday so that more people can take part.
Once again, thanks to everybody who came along and made it yet another top event! |
