Going to Poland Boyzzz

Hi all,

As you may have noticed my team (Vox Eminor) have received an invite to the EMS-ONE finals in Katowice Poland.

I will hope to write a series of blogs about our preparations and experiences in Poland. The first part of this blog is planning.

When we first got the news (a few days ago, but we werent allowed to tell anyone) we started planning our trip. Because we live so far away flights are very expensive and none of them are really ideal (all like 30hours). Currently the best looking flight (stopovers vs cost) is this:

12hour flight to Dubei then 6 hours to Munich. Alternatively, we can go 6 hours to Singapore, then 12 hours to Munich. Once in Munich its a few hours on a train to the event.

Ideally we are wanting to prac at least a week or more before the event. This is where you guys come in.

Does anyone know of any good LAN centres in either Munich or Katowice/Krakow. When i say good, i mean new PC's with 120hertz monitors.

Alternatively, how good would the internet be if we played from a hotel in Katowice (like a 4star/5star). We will most likely have high-end gaming laptops with us, so that could be an option as well. We would be praccing teams from Sweden,Germany,Russia,etc

If anyone has experience with Katowice or Munich please speak up.
