impressions
This implied friday I had to work from 7am up till 16pm and I live approx. 700km away from this venue additionally I had to pick up tiXo in Frankfurt (a.M.) so at this day I spend about 10h in my car, god bless that Volkswagen is very comfortable, I drove from one traffic jam to the other. Me was very happy that tiXo was on board so we talked whole time about worthless stuff and had to laugh a lot. It was late night when we came up in the location I think it was right after midnight, I had an information that the tournaments would start at 22:30 so we expect the lowerbracket but when we came up the staff had suspended the tournaments to 2 am we started to set up our PC`s and have some drinks with the team. Couple of cocktails later I think it was saturday morning 5am the head administration cancelled the tournaments for this night and determined the start date to 9:30am. We decided that it`s not worth to sleep 2h, we planned to play our matches as early as possible and sleep saturday afternoon. It came like we all expected the tournaments started at 11am and so we played the whole saturday and far into the night. We had a lot of problems with the servers and the network, either we had temporarily 2min lag every second round or one of our mates crashed cause of the server. We tried to talk with the responsible admins but we assert that no one there has an idea how to set up a server, after long discussions and decisions we agreed to play on a private 1ghz duron server which only lags 1min every 3rd or 4th round instead of 2mins every 2nd, which is a powerful progress in my opinion ;). I hope you could imagine how dizzy I was after this long time without one minute of sleep, pan would say "..LOOK AT HIM he got the rocky mountains under his eyes, LOL.." I definitely love him! :). We played our last match vs. [url=www.qpool.biz sunday morning without sleep, our enemys wasn`t shure if they wanna play so I rush to the gas station and check out some Red Bull to woke up tiXo because he refuses playing with all avialable means. At this point the match flews like a movie right past me I hardly can´t remember if it was a win or a loss :))). After this match tiXo and I searched a suitable position to sleep we found a not noisy corner so I fall down like dead and slept about 10 hours. I even can remember that a guy named deLaY spents me a mattress and a blanket, THANKS MY FRIEND! We woked up sunday afternoon and directly dismantled our pc`s. sTeVe, tiXo and me hurried to MCD eating some waste after that we droved towards home. I had a lot of fun with my mates especially sTeVe, pan and tiXo and this was a great experiance for me, little expensiv but great ;o). I hope the slaughterhouse staff will work on their concept so that the next event will succeed!
p.s. I droved about 12h and when I fall into my bed monday morning I was very tired which hopefully everybody can understand :D.
