PDXLAN 5.05 will be August 11-14 2005 in Portland Oregon and host over 1,000 gamers with official tournaments sponsored by Intel and BFG Technologies. It is the most sponsored lan party in ALL of North America.

PDXLAN has sold out every event prior, so if you are interested in coming, please check them out at http://www.pdxlan.net

Remember to put my name down as your referral!

BFG Technologies and NVIDIA will have a huge 20 x 40 booth at PDXLAN 5 as well as a free t-shirt for every person who comes to the LAN Party. PDXLAN will be giving over $100,000 in prizes away to the 1,000 attendees. Over 25 BFG cards, 30 Intel Extreme Edition Processors, and tons of more stuff.

Official Tournaments will be:

8 v 8 Battle Field 2
5 v 5 Counter Strike Source
3 v 3 Unreal Tournament CTF
1 v 1 UT2k4 Deathmatch
1 v 1 RTS (TBD)
1 v 1 RTS2 (TBD)

There are also tons of fun contests to enter and win big. This past event BFG Technologies Sponsored a fun talent show, a BF:pirates contest, Video Challenge and gave away a total of 20+ graphics cards to the attendees! WOW.

PDXLAN always has a first class custom case mod contest as well as other fun things like hard drive shuffleboard, tug-o-war and other challenges.

As I said before, PDXLAN HAS ALWAYS SOLD OUT - If you want to come, if you want to get your team in to the LAN, the time to register for the LAN is NOW. PDXLAN already has over 530 people registered for this LAN and it is 4 months away!! The cost is 50.00 for 4 longs days of frag goodness, unlimited ICE COLD soda, $100,000 in prizes, free gift bags for everyone, free NVIDIA/BFG TECH shirts for everyone - it will be the LAN PARTY OF THE YEAR.

Some of you may notice that the date is the same day as Quakecon. Well, that's ok, because QuakeCon is nothing like a real LAN Party. Its where the Pro's go and win, not the gamers like most of us here. You might get a T-shirt there, but overall, we know you will have a better time at PDXLAN 5.

If I haven't convinced you yet, check out these quotes from some attendees:

What are People saying about PDXLAN events?

PDXLAN was a lot of fun. It was one of the few lans I've been to where they had zero network, power, or even steam problems. Everything worked flawlessly, and even the tournaments completed on time.

I've been to quakecon, pdxlan 3.04, MML, TXGF (texas gaming fest), northwest frag fest, everlan and a few other 500+ people lans. PDXLAN 4.05 was one of the most well run lans of any of those. I didn't see any power problems, no network problems (steam even worked!), and all the admins were super friendly and security did a good job. All schedules were adhered to, and admins didn't play in tournaments. The huge variety of events both official and unofficial made it so there was something fun for everyone.

If I had a choice of Quakecon, CPL and PDXLAN, I'd choose PDXLAN.

The tournaments were run very well and almost precisely on schedule... that was great! The network was nice and stable. No virus/trojan outbreaks. Power freaked me out at first, but I didn't see any problems with it all weekend. The addition of internet was awesome. I loved the carball and pirates contests. Shuffleboard kicked tug-o-war's butt!... and the sponsorship was incredible!
-SugarBear

PDXLAN is all about the people. PDXLAN has AWSOME contests with AWSOME prizes for those contests... practically everyone walked away with a prize. That said I am going to PDXLAN 5.

We Hope to see you there - at the largest LAN PARTY ON THE WEST COAST! THE MOST SPONSORED LAN PARTY IN NORTH AMERICA!

(Excuse me if I sound over zealous about PDXLAN - if you know me, you know why)
 
I am already reserved a seat with the local LAN guys here in Reno. Table 10 and 11. Looks like the [LG] crew is at table 9 so we're neighbors. Our crew decided to sit back to back instead of cross table.

cool, glad to see some ppl can make it. It's really an awesome event that keeps getting better and better. Nothing like having a BF Pirates contest where everyone has to wear and eyepatch and pirate hat while playing...
 
omghi2u Blarg & budz. Of course the {pdX}clan prize patrol w/ our yellow hatted leader shall make their appearance. > : D

i'm hopfully going to be able to go. as long as i can get together some money to fix my computer and pay for a ticket.
 
I'll definatly be there. Sportin my new A64 system I just got up and running all WC'ed and stuff. :) PDXLAN 4.05 was such a blast, I don't see how this one can possibly dissapoint!
 
Got my tix right after 4.05, which I might add was freaking awsome. Now hopefully I can get the time off from werk. Hope to see you all there.
 
What's the age gap for events like these? I've never been to one before, seems like something interesting if I ever move to PDX or an area that has events like these but I don't want to be the old pathetic man that sticks out like a sore thumb (age 24)

that way even Maximus825 will notice :D
 
I am still seeling my ticket for $40.00.

I cannot go to the LAN but have bought a ticket and the ticket may be transfered.

I know this Lan conflicts with QuakeCon but what else reason would this thread not be stickied yet?

NBD, if they don't wanna sticky it, it's fine! This is their site afterall. With the constant replies this thread is getting, it will be at the top of the list in the forum anyway ;)
 
I dont think theres a real conflict here, those who really want to go to QUAKECON will, most of us are staying 'local'. :)

...besides Nox and CombatCarl are into CoD these days :D
(but expect the usual pwning at UT)
