As we head toward the conclusion of our third successful event in Counter-Strike: Source, LANchamp is excited to turn its focus on another competitive community that we feel is ready to bring its game to the next level. We have watched for years as the vibrant community of Team Fortress 2 has remained steadfast despite difficult competitive conditions, flourishing for no other reason than a pure love for the game.

LANchamp is thrilled to promote and support the TF2 community with a full tournament over the month of July, featuring two rounds of online qualifiers and a $12,000 total prize pot awarded to the final four teams - who will complete the tournament live on Saturday, August 7 in Los Angeles, CA. We encourage teams at every skill level to apply as we aim to showcase all the great competition around the TF2 community. Your appreciated support may bring a future tournament closer to your spawn point.

REGISTERING FOR LANCHAMP TF2

LANchamp events are invitational tournaments that showcase professional gamers and professional teams. Thank you for your interest in participating in our upcoming event, LANchamp Mission Viejo, and we ask that you read this application in full before submitting your team’s request to be placed into the event bracket. The LANchamp TF2 event will consist of a 16-team bracket that competes through two weeks of online play, with the final four held Saturday, August 7 in Los Angeles, CA. Online play will begin the week of Sunday, July 11. Your application assumes that ALL members of your roster have read and understood LANchamp's Official Rules in full. A few brief mentions to rules of importance BEFORE registering your team:

  1. Any team may apply for any LANchamp event. Individual players will have online profiles created through LANchamp.com after appearing on a roster accepted into an official LANchamp event.
  2. Players who have participated in previous events will use their existing profile, and no player may create a second profile on LANchamp.com. A profile will be forever tied to the full name, alias, birth date and SteamID provided upon its creation. Duplicate names and/or SteamIDs will not be accepted into LANchamp events, and players who cannot provide proper identification will not be paid.
  3. Any player receiving prize money must prove both his online and real identity, providing state-issued identification and matching the information given to LANchamp.com at the time of online registration for the event. This includes full name, age and residence. Any player unable to provide identification will not receive prizes.
  4. Applying to a LANchamp event assumes your team WILL make the Final Four and that you WILL travel to/participate in the Live Finals. Players who participate online and then do not arrive to pick up a guaranteed prize risk punishments that range up to indefinite suspension from future LANchamp events.

Your application to LANchamp will be constructed in an email and sent to registration@LANchamp.com. This resume of your team and players will go into direct consideration of LANchamp’s selection of the best 16 teams. Please provide as much information as possible, using the following guidelines:

Your application must be filled out as completely as possible to serve as an eligible application for your team. Duplicate applications will harm a team’s chances for selection, as will any roster containing a player who appears on multiple applications. LANchamp will not release information on any team’s status within the event until the bracket is released. Inquiries on bracket status will harm a team’s chances for selection.

Please send all applications to registration@LANchamp.com. The application period for LANchamp TF2 will close Thursday, July 8 at 11:59 p.m.
