| SavLan2 CS winners | 2001-08-15 16:35:14
by: Deadmode | Congratulations to TAA who won the CS competition that was held at SavLan2 last weekend.
Six clans entered the competition so I decided to split them into two groups of 3 clans. Each clan in the group of 3 played each other once, and the clan with the most points / wins after their games went through to the final. From start to finish the CS comp was more of a fun thing than a serious thing, even so there was a good standard of play. Unfortunately my results sheet for the CS comp got misplaced when I packed my gear up at the lan so I don't have the early heat results. Everyone involved seemed to enjoy themselves though and that was the main intention. At SavLan3 we hope to extend the CS side of things and offer some more substantial prizes.
Anyway, TAA won the Final 24-12 against the team I was playing in. We didn't really have a name as such, just an adoc team who fancied a game. :) Although I should mention that only 2 of TAA's team where regular TAA CS members. The original intention with the final was to play 2 x 20 mins games on a map of each teams choosing. Due to time constraints we decided to reduce this to just 2 x 20mins on 1 map in the end ... DUST2. Below are the screenshots from each game ...
In the 1st game, some kind soul unplugged Greyjackals's PC just before we were due to start and he wasn't able to play for the 1st 8mins or so. In the 2nd game Flight had to leave before the end as his lift had arrived, so it balanced out in the end.
Finally, thanks to RAGE Software for providing some copies of E RACER as prizes. A picture of the winners with prizes in hand can be seen here. Here's looking forward to SavLan3 and an extended CS event.

| A Big Thankyou | 2001-08-14 08:20:50
by: LJ | After a fantastic weekend at SavLAN2 (still trying to recover even though it's a Tuesday now), we would like to thank the following people/companies for their help and support ..
- The Midlands Sports Centre for their venue and very supportive staff who did everything they could to accomodate us (shame they don't have a web site up yet).
- Bez for his hard work with the set-up of the network and constant server changes, plus the loan of the games machines.
- Mortis for the loan of most of the network kit at such short notice.
- IESys for the loan of the 10/100Mbit switches at short notice.
- Axia for coming down to help on the Thursday with setting up the LAN, only to drink the bar dry with the rest of us and also for the 2 hour round trip to get the kit from Mortis.
- Scan for the network kit which eventually turned up on Monday morning :/
- Dwarf for his organising of the competitions with his very own mobile PA system to aid his voice as it was hard enough to see him past the PCs 'cause of his height :)
- Manta for his FTP server(s) :)
- KJ for his shouts of "Stop leeching you basts" every so often :)
- And finally to all the players who made the event a wicked experience :)
SavLAN3 coming up very soon :D

| SavageEuro net based! | 2001-07-26 10:44:05
by: Slave | It is with regret that we have been unable to secure enough sponsorship to host The Savage European Q3CTF Finals at SavLAN2 ..
To this end we have now made the decision that the competition finals will now be played via the NET on the same weekend as SavLAN2. Due to this we have agreed with BTexact that their presence at the event is no longer required and we thank them for the offer of sponsorship and look forward to working with them again in the future.
All is not lost however and SavLAN2 will have, via gTV, a live feed to the SavageEuro matches so players/spectators at the event will still be able to watch the finals live.
Details of the Q2, CS and Q3 competitions being held within the BYOC area will be posted very soon.
|
| 2 Sponsors confirmed .. | 2001-07-19 09:05:12
by: Slave | We now have 2 confirmed sponsors for SavLAN2 ..
Our first is BTexact Technologies who, as well as supplying a few prizes, will be bringing along a full size body scanning booth (as seen at BT Zone in the Dome). This will enable people to get their own "avatars" to be used in Quake 3. More details about this very soon.
Our second is ATi Technologies who will be supplying some prizes for our BYOC area ..
As well as the above we have a few more in the pipeline, and I'll have some more details just as soon as we get them to sign on the dotted line.
