Nathan I don't know what you were smoking but ECL was by far the worst lan you could ever go too. Me and two other clanmates were unfortunate to have not of prepaid so we got there at like 6 and waited inline. At 9 they gave us stubs that we were to use to buy tickets later in the day when the doors opened. When the doors opened we came back but the line was HUGE. We came back a few hours later and there was still a huge line but we decided to get in it. After waiting in line for about a couple hours or so we finally got in.
The first day the power would go out every 10 minutes. No matter what part of the hall you were on your power was bound to go out. They basically had to turn off all forms of electricity other than the computers. There wern't any hot dogs until later in day 2; and besides once we got them they were absolutely horrible. The CS tournament was ran so incredibly bad. It started out on Friday with one set of matches being played. There was some huge controversy about the matches because they didn't have a certain config to use which is absolutely imperative to have if you are going to run a cs tournament. We had to redo the first matches and continue with the tournament. Times given by the admins for match time were herendously off. They would go from making you wait a few hours to play one match to having to play one on a new map right after that. Once teams started going into the loser's brackets, they didn't have enough servers to do the winner's bracket and loser's bracket at the same time so they had to wait until the winner's bracket was finished. At around 10 PM the admins said we would be playing our match shortly so we stayed up. This continued on through the night with them continuously telling us we would be playing momentarily. Eventually 7 rolls around and we finally play our match. By that time our leader left and we picked up a ringer to use. We basically purposely lost just so we could go to sleep. After staying up the night before the event, getting only 3 hours of sleep friday night and then staying up all saturday night, I was totally exhausted. Not to mention they had us packed in like sardines.
Bottom Line: This LAN was absolutely HORRIBLE and the only good part about it was meeting people. CP6 was ran so much smoother with quick lines and lots of space. Hell CP6 even had more than ONE person watching the front desk. God ECL was pathetic.
EDIT: By the way you overloaded the power by adding all of those extra seats and packing us in like sardines. That hall was not meant to hold that much power and that breaker stuff is absolute bullshit. You better have it right this time or I am never going to ECL again.
