Event FAQ
Can I bring my console device?
Yes - however if you require space to set up a monitor and connect to the network this will involve purchasing a BYOC ticket. For portable console players (i.e Nintendo Switch) then only a Console/AFK ticket is required, come chill in our Console/AFK area.
Is there Wi-Fi?
Yes - However the Wi-Fi will be heavily limited and is not ideal for playing games, we HIGHLY recommend ensuring your device has a wired ethernet connection available.
If your device does not have an ethernet port we HIGHLY recommend bringing a USB Network Card.
How do I participate in competitions?
Competitions are open to all attendees depending on ticket type, please listen to announcements on the day for specific instructions. Some competitions are open for registrations prior to the event.
If you have any questions or are looking for a team please don’t hesitate to ask us on discord or an Event Coordinator on the day, we want everyone to be able to participate!
Why aren’t you running my favourite game as a tournament?
LAN-slide determines the schedule based on demand. Unfortunately LAN-slide can’t accommodate every popular game as a competition due to sponsorship and team capacity.
However you are free to play whatever games you would like, we encourage connecting with other players either at the event or on discord to play your game. We can help facilitate these games by assisting with connecting other players and/or setting up servers, please speak to an Event Coordinator.
