.LAN (pronounced "dot lan") has been a premiere midwest gaming convention for four years. In 2008, we started small with just ten people in attendance over a day and a half in a converted garage. By 2011, we had exploded to 50 people in a 1,500 square foot banquet space with several sponsors and an incredible tournament in which top placed attendees took home awesome prizes. The event has grown substantially, and we are commited to continue offering more and more every year to attendees.
For 2012, .LAN has made some significant changes to give gamers more reasons to attend. We've upgraded our venue and hotel to accomodate more people. The new venue boasts an awe inspiring 14,400sq feet. Attendees can now game on their computers, play on the attendee-driven console area or spread out and play some table top games and card games all in one room. We're bringing back our raffle for this year, and we're very excited to raffle off the great products that our sponsors have provided for all of you.
The official tournaments for .LAN 2012 will be in a 5v5 team format for Counter-Strike® Global Offensive and League of Legends®. For more information, visit the event details page. To sign up for the tournament, prepay for the event today!
