Last year the threads were kinda shitty and the event itself wasn't as well organized as in previous years. GOAT year was when they had that really tiny arena and S-STOP FIGHT lady doing interviews between all the matches.

Got any news of the ded brit?

so what are the weapons made out of?

because even if they are blunt, the way they are swinging those would cause serious damage.

Are they all just padded up or what?

Fighterfag here. Currently taking a shit at the hostel so I have wifi. I'm fighting tommorrow at 5v5 but today I'll be fighting as a mercenary in the for the Czech team in 21v21. Cheer me on bros!

I can quick answer some shit.

How much did you spend on equipment?

I just want to see the arena and the camera placement they have this time around!

Attached: 1490304082815.jpg (629x1005, 400K)

Post your helmet

About 2000€

It is at camp while I'm at hostel but it's this one

Are you the Finn guy?
You're posting with Italy flag obviously.

Any changes in the rules? Are the lists the same as last year?

Good luck!

Camera/broadcast operators better not be braindead this time

Yea I'm that Finn.

There are some new weapon rules but nothing spectacular. There is only one big list this time around but it's 10mx20m.

Has the rain and the lightning started yet? Good weather for cinematic tournament action.

Attached: weather.png (642x522, 21K)

Please elaborate on the new rules, it's interesting even if minor.

Some drizzle only now. Organisers said though that if the lightning and wind becomes too strong they will have to stop the fighting until it calms down so you can expect some organiser to ruin everything just when you hit critical ebin.

Here's some of the main points. Minimum and maximum weights and lengths and so on.

Gonna have to leave for the venue anytime so sorry if I suddenly stop replying.

Hardcore LARPing

Serbs are rapidly loosing their slav status

Check the webms above. That's pretty much it

Live audio from the combatant's heart.

Right now the english stream is perfect, at last.
Surely nothing will go wrong now.
