Wow, thank you everyone for your contributions. There will be more info to come in the next couple weeks as we prepare to open the tournament sign-ups and lock-in the date for the studio. Stay Tuned...

OH HAPPY DAY! Well done lads and to all the fantastic people who donated! On one front, we got this big event that is going to to bring in a lot of exposure to NS2, and on the other front, NS2's player base is increasing and retaining!
I'm confident that all this doom and gloom of recent weeks is beyond us, and we can all get back to having many years of great NS2 times ahead of us!
Now that you got the money going, I advice you to review the past events in cologne and see how you could do it better. E.g. no face / mustache painting. Keep it professional, suit up.
Congratulations @WasabiOne, @RedDog, @Zefram and others who've helped to organise the funding for this! Obviously a huge thanks to Intel and NVidia too for their massive support which also kickstarted the final fundraising effort.
Now that the funding is secured, it's down to all of us to ensure that NS2 is in a great place before the champs: that means welcoming and training newcomers, coaxing back our gaming friends who've maybe left NS2, and continuing the great communities that there are in NS2 servers around the world.
I'm glad we managed to reach the 30k goal, it's awesome that NS2 players get to meet up and play side by side again. Looking forward to the next few months.

@Neoken, may be because of folk like me who received this email:
"<name>, your pledge cannot be processed."
Followed by a lovely try again link. So I did.
@WasabiOne
I will get that donation through damnit. Was weird it failed though. It did not specify a reason so I dont know how this 2nd try will go.

"Here's to hoping some person or entity generous enough to see this through will donate!"

I made a thread on r/games, i think its something that can raise some awareness on natural selection 2.
upvote it here:

(i dont post a direct link to the thread, as reddit detects that and automatically downvotes the link)
Bonus points for somebody mentioning in a comment that ns2 is currently on sale on the newly opened humbe store. https://www.humblebundle.com/store
