Short Summary
The Witness Gaming EU team is pursuing their long-standing dream of competing at a North American intercontinental LAN, and we need your support! This ambition has been in the works since 2019 but was delayed due to tournament cancellations, COVID-19, and other challenges. Now, with Denver 2025 on the horizon—the most significant and competitive LAN TF2 "World Championship" in eight years, featuring teams from North America, Australia, and Europe—our dream is finally within reach.
Who We Are
Witness Gaming EU is the most successful European team of the past six years, boasting eight ETF2L season victories and three LAN championships. While the roster has evolved over time, core players Toemas and papi have consistently led the team. Ixy and auto joined in 2022, helping the team dominate both online seasons and LAN events. Our newest member, hugo, will be showcasing his versatility by taking on the roamer role. We also welcome back the legendary Czech Demoman LUKASTANK, celebrated as Europe's best player from 2019 to 2021.
Our roster for Denver 2025 is:
Pocket Scout: Toemas
Flank Scout: ixy
Roamer: hugo
Pocket: papi
Demoman: LUKASTANK
Medic: auto
This roster has been training together since December 2024, preparing for the challenge ahead at Denver 2025.
What We Need
Our sponsor, Witness, is generously covering accommodation and tournament ticket expenses. Each player will handle their daily expenses. However, we still need assistance with travel costs. One flight ticket has already been paid for by a player so we are only fundraising for 5 flights to Denver.
Travel Costs:
Flights to Denver: Icelandair (£500 x 5) = £2,500
Ixy and Lukas flights to the UK: ~£350
Total: £2,850 GBP
