Looks cool and I'm interested but don't think it will happen for me. Haven't been interested in a LAN since QCon 2011 when I stopped going to em but DreamHack always looked good.

Didn't realize that tickets were going that fast. Jumped on the byoc founders pass. We need to get a list of who all is going from [H] to try to meet up or something.

I also picked up a pair of BYOC founders passes. Would be cool to coordinate seating for the early reserve system.

I listed CS:GO as my preferred game.
 
Yeah it would, and I am down. Maybe even do a [H]are team lol.
 
Been a while since a LAN. I think Noreaster in Mass was my last way back in 2008 or something.
 
i have been going to local lans again. this and quakecon would be awesome to attend, but the investment. at 40 i can't sleep under a table anymore, i need a real bed, and 8 real hours. looks great tho.

its not too bad if you can find a roomate for your hotel room
 
I'll have a hotel during the event. Also seating will start soon so we need to get together and team up.

Yes shoot me a pm to setup everything in terms of logistics. Would love to help go in on a huge ass hotel room with others. Luckily for me I am flying down with my Alienware 17 R3 laptop.
 
Hey, I'm not sure how many folks attending from [H] attending DH in Austin are looking to play CS:GO but I'd love to get some early games in to get a feel for the group.

I'm currently LE and my friend coming with is floating around MG (but progressing). Hit me up on Steam if you would be interested.

My primary steam account is "Mulnic".
 
dont forget more dreamhack tickets go on sale tonight if you missed getting one last time.
 
Let me know if any of you guys want to go in on a nice hotel during Dreamhack. I am going to start planning my trip during my time off next week.

This is what the seating chart looks like
 
Where are you guys going to be at. I am going by myself because I am transferring out of the military. And who wants to room up?
 
Somehow I missed this thread in September lol.
I had a lot of fun at Red Bull events in DC - DreamHack should be even better :p
 
Regular pass ticket holder (BYOC) will get there value codes sent out on the Jan 15th. I assume that means non-founders can reserve seating at that date.

Correct I will reserve my seat near the rest of you guys.
 
Does anyone have an educated guess on what the ambient temperature will be in the BYOC area? I'm planning on building a new SFF rig in the Ncase M1 chassis and debating air or watercooling (AIO). I'd need to remove the AIO and place it in checked baggage if I went that route.

its texas in early may i'd be shocked if they didnt have the a/c blasting. if its anything like quakecon normally is its hoodie type weather.
 
I'll be coming in from California. I want to arrive like atleast a day before, anybody down to let me sleep at their house?

Excellent, thanks for the info.

My biggest issue at the moment is figuring out what I want to do about a monitor. I could probably bring my old Acer GD235HZ as carry-on but that is going to be pretty tight. What do other folks who travel by air typically do regarding their displays?

LOL. I bought an itx board and case just for the event, but I didn't realize how big the case was. Granted I slapped in a 2x120mm and 120mm radiators from my cpu and a 295x2. I am however very happy with it. For as much as the case cost, it is one of the most thought out cases I have ever owned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68jj4ANjKGA
