New To ECL
After a successful event in Blackpool, we are still striving to improve Europe's premier console LAN event. We're pleased to bring you details of what changes, improvements, and new additions you can expect at ECL Loughborough to make your experience even better.
Accommodation
For the first time, ECL will be providing accommodation for an additional fee. Rooms will be available at Loughborough University through the ECL website. More information on this type of accommodation will be released shortly.
Drinks and Snacks
ECL will also be providing our own on-site catering at the event. We will be listening to your suggestions for food, drinks and snacks that you would like have at the event.
Scheduling
ECL2 ran to a tight schedule. No doubt though, there is room for improvement and with ECL3 now running over two days, you can expect an even greater focus on efficiency.
Improved Coverage
ECL Blackpool's stream was a huge success with nearly 500,000 hits over the course of the event. At ECL Loughborough we plan to bring you more photos, videos, and coverage on partner sites and associated media websites.
Admin and Refs
Once again we will have game specific admin stations as this proved to be a success at ECL2. We will aim to provide a better means of displaying the brackets for all the games. We will also aim to provide alternative methods of admin alerting teams to go to the correct stations to play their games.
Station Signage
As per the community feedback, we will have free standing signs denoting the number of each station to prevent any confusion.
Travel Guide
We have put together an extensive travel guide that should help anyone looking to attend the event. Click the following link to view the Travel Guide:
