NLAN 2013 with $7,800 for CS:GO

29-1-2013 16:35

NLAN 2013 has been announced to take place in the beginning of April in Norrköping, Sweden and will feature a 50,000 SEK (~$7,800) CS:GO tournament.

The event will run on April 2-5, Tuesday through Friday, and feature a 1,200 seat BYOC at Borgen Norrköping, with tickets costing 200 SEK (~$32) each to grant access to a seat in the event.

Eight of the tournament's sixteen teams will be determined through invitations, with Absolute Legends and Lemondogs having accepted them and the organizers not having received a response from NiP or fnatic yet.

pronax's Absolute Legends plan to attend NLAN 2013

Four teams will be determined through online qualifications, through which Epsilon and MOV3MBER have so far qualified, with the third qualifier taking place on February 8.

Finally, four teams will be found via a on-site BYOC qualifier on the first day, suggesting the actual tournament will likely only run on April 3-4, thus making it easier for teams to take part.

Following five teams have so far been confirmed:

Lemondogs	Absolute Legends
Epsilon	MOV3MBER
Neverlan

NLAN 2013 will feature a tournament area with 40 computers provided by the organizers, so the main tournament will not be played in the BYOC area. The total prize purse of 50,000 SEK will be divided among the top three finishers as follows:

1. 30,000 SEK (~$4,680)
2. 15,000 SEK (~$2,340)
3. 5,000 SEK (~$780)

HLTV.org will keep you updated with more information regarding NLAN 2013 as more teams qualify or accept invitations to participate in the tournament.

CSGO 2013 will be nuts!

as if you took my bait. herpderp. (my comment was to provoke all these dribblers to say "no there is 10k 1.6 lan noob" so that maybe they could notice by themselves that most local CS:GO lans have as much prize money than the remaining 1.6 lans) derp

I don't get it lol.

2013-01-29 17:40

If you would like a better perspective, let's wait 13 years into the future, and then say "isn't that [a csgo tourney 13 years later] prize money bigger than any 1.6 tournament this year?" I doubt csgo will survive 13 years later to have a prize pool. Its obvious new games will have that 'sprint like adrenaline rush' in tournies and prize-money, but it'll fade like every other fps after 2 to 3 years.

Insane period of time for LANs there. insomnia48 - March 22nd - 25th CPH Games - 27th - 31st March NLAN - 2nd - 5th April.

It will be a great time!:)

2013-01-29 16:52

CPH! <3

2013-01-29 17:03

We were told it is non-byoc when I told we're gonna attend... :E

Whats the difference?

2013-01-29 17:02

6 replies

The difference is you don't have to drag your PC to the LAN...

2013-01-29 17:06

Whats the difference between taking your own 35kg PC + monitor + gaming gear from Finland to Sweden and bringing only gaming gear? Hmm... I must say I really don't know.

2013-01-29 17:07

HLTV has misunderstood the event, there is a byoc tournament for people who bring their own computer since it is a LAN FESTIVAL. There will be access to computers for invited/qualified teams. (Similar to the Thor Open setup)

youre so fucking retarded its hilarious

thx

2013-01-29 17:58

mby u should consider that the news have been edited.

2013-01-29 18:50

wtf admins lying retards

surely if the admins told you it would be non byoc for you then perhaps they meant it? It is a BYOC event, doesn't strictly mean it won't have Non BYOC there.

2013-01-29 17:05

"Finally, four teams will be found via a on-site BYOC qualifier on the first day"

don't care waiting for IEM and WCG move

2013-01-29 16:53

I think "EMS One" will be like the IEM, just for CSGO and Dota2. We'll see...

You are correct dota and csgo will be at EMS not IEM I don't think

ESL are building a huge "ESL Arena" for offline events, I think we'll have some great tournaments :)

Sounds good.. but where the hell do they get all this cash money from

Premium users on ESL website.... sponsorships and ticket sales for events. That would be the logical conclusion.

monopoly money.

2013-01-29 17:39

That as well. :P

2013-01-29 17:41

wow dude ur so clever like how do u know so much about esports?

2013-01-29 19:04

They announce tournaments and hope ppl will forget that ESL owes them money :)

Gl all, looks good

2013-01-29 16:56

nice 2 bring our computers over 1100km away. Afaik the cs:go tournament should've been non-byoc? --edit-- just got confirmation it is non-byoc in the main tournament although it says "NLAN 2013 has been announced to take place in the beginning of April in Norrköping, Sweden and will feature a 50,000 SEK (~$7,800) BYOC CS:GO tournament." in the news.

yeah I understood that, thats why I edited my comment before ur reply.

Didn't see your edit :)

2013-01-29 17:10

not really misunderstood as much as posted what it says on their website (and fragbite post for that matter). if their site says it's a byoc lan with no mention of provided computers, all we can do is assume it's a byoc lan. if someone associated with the lan can contact us to clear it, we'll be happy to update the news.

2013-01-29 17:12

I actually sent you a message about it, just now. To make it even easier, think of the Dreamhack setup. There will be a BYOC tournament, to give unknown teams a chance to get into the main tournament. Computers will be provided to the invited/qualified teams.

2013-01-29 17:17

The information is kind of misleading people. When you're in the "Main Tournament" you won't have to bring your own computer. We'll have computers up and running for the main tournament. You will only have to bring your own computer if you're playing the byoc.
