HLTV.org live from Prague

13-7-2013 09:59

We are all set up in Prague, Czech Republic together with the participants of Prague Challenge and everyone is eager for the matches to begin.

HLTV.org will be present at another event and we will bring you the fastest updates possible from the Prague Challenge this weekend. The tournament is held in the very modern DISTRICT E-Sports Club in Prague, Czech Republic which houses 50 PCs.

Some quick math tells us that all teams will be having their own seats, meaning no setting up all over again at any point, which will prevent delays from that aspect. However, the start itself is somewhat delayed as the set up began only 15 minutes ago. In the meantime, you can check out what the venue looks like here.

The one problem organizers ran into before the start was port forwarding, which meant that they could either opt for no GOTV or playing on online servers.

They went with the second choice which will have a side effect of slightly higher ping (10-15 ms), but spectators will be able to watch any match they want. The issue is expected to be fixed throughout the day, or tomorrow at the latest.

Will Natus Vincere continue their path to the top or will Anexis stand in their way? Can the Polish-French-Russian mix Nostalgie do something about it, and are there any local or regional teams that have come prepared to surprise everyone?

These are all question we will find answers to when this weekend is over, so stay tuned to HLTV.org and follow the tournament!

Anexis will win!

Did they even check the network and PCs yesterday or day before?

2013-07-13 11:37

They probably didnt have the chance to, usually you have a strict time when you can use the venue because someone else is probably using it before or after them as well. Just a guess.

2013-07-13 11:44

When you're organizing such a big event you simply have to review all this stuff and fix it if something is wrong. Venue owners are people like any others, organizers could figure it out.
