Lansanity ? $comment_count ?>
Lansanity was the first CPM LAN competition, held in Portland, Oregon on July 15-16, 2000. The LAN was hosted at the Portland Conference Center. Attendance was free and open to the public thanks to the generous contribution of Speakeasy, but only registered attendees were allowed to bring their computers.
Over $2500 in cash and prizes were given away in the 1v1 Pro Mode Quake 3 tournament and the Sunday afternoon raffle. Many thanks to Speakeasy, NVIDIA, Logitech, and Ratpadz for all of the prizes. 64 gamers competed in the tournament for the first place prize of $200 and a GeForce 2 GTS.
Live coverage was provided on the front page of CHWD during the tournament by a|bastardson, for which I would like to say thank you and very well done (it's always a LOT of work to cover an event live on a wwebsite, especially over a 56Kbps modem).
Challenge.WORLD also provided FTP space for all Lansanity Demos. These are the first LAN competition CPM demos produced anywhere in the world and feature some very talented players.
