Thursday & Friday

After a few weeks of planning and general conversations, it was finally time for our long awaited bootcamp with fnatic, VAE and infinity. Both of the Swedish teams arrived by car but apparently the GPS aint invented in Sweden. So after two teams driving the wrong way, we finally got them coordinated towards Roskilde.

It wasn’t hard for them to get settled in, they just picked a room to sleep in at the house and a table to play from. Although some of the computers were rather locked to test out a new ghost, there haven’t been any real problems. Most of the Friday we spend playing fnatic on all the maps in the map pool, so when we were finally done for the night we were too tired to play the others. I think we all crashed around 3am, and we planned to all get up around 11am and get ready to play all day.

Saturday

We got up around 10-11am because it was kinda hard to sleep anymore for some reason, it might have been the nice mixture of candy and redbull we all injected throughout the evening. So we spend like an hour or two talking and playing other games before we went into real hard praccing. Today we played VAE and infinity on most of the maps with a few breaks in between and after that, we needed a serious amount of tweaking of our tactics. That took some time but it turned out really well.

So after some dinner and a little fun time, we were up for another round of fnatic. So far this has been the best bootcamp I've ever had in any game, everyone is having a really great time and I'm glad we're all getting along so well. So after around fourteen hours of praccing, it was finally time for some drinking! (Loke from VAE rules by the way, but not his driving).

Sunday & Monday

Waking up at 10am in the morning when you went to bed at 7am isn’t awesome but I had to since I was gonna move all my stuff to my new apartment. It took around three hours but I had to do it. When I finally came back in the afternoon, Infinity had already left and fnatic were leaving later in the evening. Just when I came back tidde was craving McDonalds so I tagged along with my brother and Champ, because we were really hungry. When we came back we had some time to play VAE on a few maps, since the rest of my team had fixed some mistakes in our tactics while I was gone.

Around 8pm fnatic decided to drive home since it was gonna be a long ride home, so we bid them farewell and talked a bit before they left. Later that night we had our final group match in Live2win that we decided to play from the clubhouse instead of playing from home and it was really fun, we ended up winning 13-5. After the match most of my team went home due school and work on Monday, but me and LM stayed to keep VAE company until Monday. After a few games of DOTA we decided to crash and just did a bit of cleaning up before that.

The next morning VAE left around 11am and we didn’t stay too long after that, but we went to get change from all the beer bottles and it was enough for lunch and dinner for me and LM :D

Thank you VAE, Infinity and last but not least fnatic for a really great weekend. I do hope we can arrange another one of these with more teams next time.
