Laclede’s LAN 15 was our biggest event in quite a while, tipping the scales at 149 gamers! Gamers packed up their PCs and came from all over the country to… play Rocket League?! We had fourteen Counter-Strike teams competing for Micro Center gift cards and Counter-Strike keys. We’d like to thank LANFest for their continued support, Ranken for their Counter-Strike tournament sponsorship and attendance, and Saint Louis University for the venue! Thanks also go out to our tournament winners: Power Dumpsters in Counter-Strike: GO, Those Meddling Kids in League of Legends, and of course Bsquaredb in Hearthstone! “Flash Tournaments” made a comeback with TF2 Blind Frag and QWOP as our headliners! Our DOTA 2 room was a staff favorite – DOTA 2 fans gathered in a darkened room with a projector to watch the first North American win at the DOTA 2 International 2015 Grand Finals in style. We had a great time – see you at the next LAN!
Special thanks to Saint Louis University for all of their work to get this event off the ground.
