Gaming @ IU has completed another great event, this time at a Brand NEW location, the Collegiate Gym. This was the 37th LAN War for this organization, and a great event to return to as the IU campus repoened this fall after a long battle with Covid restrictions. The event was Noon December 4th, 2021 - Midnight.
 
 

Attendance

Attendance was very good, especially considering the long hiatus and continuting restrictions, with over 165 students and local attendees. Space was ample, which was a nice change.

Tourneys

Sponsored Tournaments hosted included Rocket League, Overwatch, and League of Legends. These tournaments also featured laser etched trophies this year, courtesy of the Luddy School of Informatics.

Sponsors

Sponsorship for the event was great, with direct financial support from the IU Funding Board which helped to keep costs down, and increased the value of the tourney prizes. Our Title sponsor was Coca Cola, who subsidied the location and power, in addition to providing a bunch of great beverages.

Pizza X also came through in a big way, providing Pizza and Tootsie Rolls for all the attendees.

Door Prize support came in big as well, with prizes from Thermaltake, InWin, Zotac, Patriot, and more. Please thank all of these great sponsors for continuing to support our organization via their twitter and facbook accounts.

All attendees were given an event shirt, dinner, and plenty of drinks throughout the event.

Issues / Followup

No major issues this round. Hopefully we'll continue in this great new venue, and grow the event back up in size!
