Thats what I said, but last year it was a WT event and an ESWC qualifier as well, so I guess it can.

Low ticketsales? Try releasing the tickets earlier, less than a month before the LAN is nothing but stupid...

Most of the promises behind the LAN were probably bullshit anyway.

<< Comment #21 @ 16:52 CDT, 4 May 2006 >>

lepow

When the lan is held "in the middle of nowhere", even for sweedes, I guess that can explain the lousy ticketsales.
