First of all, I suggest you read "Back to bootcamping", the first part of this blog, before reading this if you haven't already done so. Thank you.

Okay, I'm back in the office (bootcamp room) after some pasta carbonara and a quick nap. What's up with me taking naps after eating anyways? I thought that was for babies and old people only but I guess it's for me as well =D

Time to get back to telling you about LANBAUER!

I woke up at about 9 am Saturday morning after 4-5 hours of not so high quality sleep. The bed was perfect but getting good sleep next to loud gamers is not one of my strong sides. F00k it I thought and suggested we all went to the nearest gas station for some breakfast and coffee. I ended up with a large cafe latte and a sandwich in my hands!

I played CSDM for a while before the first game started. I can't remember what the others did, I was probably too tired to notice. After getting warmed up a bit we played our first game vs a not so good team and won easily. Actually we ran through pretty much all teams we met except two, druidz and gamecenter.

The druidz game was in the winner bracket semi final if I remember it correct and we won one map easily but lost quite a few rounds on the other map. Not a big deal though! =) The winner bracket final was vs gamecenter and we won yet another game without problems.

In the final however we played de_train and after a very dominating CT side we had problems getting the T rounds we needed and the game ended up in OT. We got our shit together in the overtime though, winning it with fast with a score of 4-0 to take home the whole event!

We got the prize money in hand 10 minutes after the last round was played, no delays and no bullshit. Just like it SHOULD to be. (Yes I'm tired of big events delaying the payments for a ridiculously long time) So in the end it definitely payed off going to LANBAUER winning about 500 euro each without breaking a sweat =D We managed to have quite a lot of fun during the LAN as well, not everything is about business!

We went home right after the final and hit some really heavy weather. The snow was everywhere and the visibility very poor. Dennis drove the whole way up to Gävle the day before so I drove the whole way home. No problems though, I took it slow, driving at around 70-90 km/h, and after dropping Björn off at his place we finally got home at about 5 am.

So back to bootcamping it is! No time to waste, team SK-Gaming Sweden will be gathered here tonight to resume the hardcore praccing before going to Germany the 2nd of March.

I'll get back to you with one more update before you can see us in action once again in one of the largest tournaments ever vs the absolute best of the best in the wooooorld! (wow that sounds sexy)

Peace out.
