Kharne — The dust has just settled on the Insomnia46 Summer Team Fortress 2 extravaganza and I had a decision to make. To TF2 or not to TF2 in November. Last year at Insomnia44 it seemed like everyone in the TF2 LAN community was AWOL or just tired after the previous summer’s immense gathering, with a handful of teams travelling down for the winter edition of the biggest LAN party in the UK.

After the Winter 2011 LAN, I decided the Team Fortress community in the UK deserved a bit more then this, so I negotiated it back onto our main stage and tried to promote the tournament a bit more to the community. The team numbers doubled and the community gathered in slightly larger number this time around.

And then everything went crazy. VanillaTV were going to bring an army of coverage dudes, everyone was banding together to fly the best teams in the USA over to show them how to play (turned out well didn’t it?) and the tournament became the feature of the event!
