The actual match itself was a huge stuff up because IS/PLuGG contracted local LAN organisers Arena77 to run the setup. Just like many times before, Arena77 totally screwed up things. The players keep dropping from Steam because the 3G connection couldn't handle the verification process Steam does for each of the player's game accounts. The PLuGG staff were furious about this as they couldn't do anything to solve the problem, and they vowed never to use Arena77 again.

With the bands playing, the bars, the setup with 12 40" LCD screens to view, the event was awesome, over a R1 million went into everything. Hopefully they do it again this year.
was there as well, the tech issues made a bit of a hash of the actual gaming, but all in all, it was a gr8 event and now they can only go bigger and better
