Hey again everyone!

Now I'm finally back home in my lovely hometown Upplands Väsby. The trip back was OK, no delays and the flight didn't even take 2 hours. Me and f0rest flew by ourselves since the other guys took a flight to Gothenburg via Copenhagen. Their plane was delayed in Belgium so I don't even know if they made it to the second plane in Copenhagen in time which was to take them home to Sweden :D Well well, enough about the trip, it's time for the interesting stuff.

When we arrived in Antwerpen we were supposed to play right away but the first matches were delayed a bit. Anyways, we prepared ourselves for the first game but suddenly all the power to the computers just went away..more waiting!

After some food and a little waiting period we were back at the computers. The computers felt pretty good but there was a huge problem! The monitors we had to use were TFT monitors, I had never played on anything else than CRT so I was basically preparing myself for my first 0-15 ever :P

The matches started and we played a total of like 9 maps during the day and the whole thing ended really late. During the day I got more and more comfortable with the monitors but I sure hope I will never play on one of those again! I think it's much more random compared to CRT monitors and I couldn't really hit anything if my opponents were running a lot ingame.

Besides a few delays and the TFT monitors I really enjoyed the event, the funniest thing during the trip was to see Sam totally wasted after 3 hours at some night club. Haha, he was whipping people with two sticks and ripped his shirt apart just to show his masculine, hairy chest..but that's another story... :P

I am sorry to say that I think CPL uses TFT monitors, and I think more and more competitions will use it since CRT is soon dead...however the TFT gets better and better quickly.

You don't like TFTs? Wait until CPL :((

Section, you're right, TFTs get better in terms of their response time, but the main problems are (a) native resolution and (b) refresh rate. If you select a resolution less than the native resolution (like 800*600) the image will look awful. Also, as far as I now, you can't get much more than 60Hz. That's not good...

refresh rate doesn't matter with TFT's as they refresh each single pixel as opposed to the whole resolution.

TFT's are improving, i guess i might have to buy one soon ;-)
