TL;DR

Linus and the team had just seven hours to turn a run-of-the-mill badminton club into “Whale LAN 2025,” a 250-seat gaming extravaganza packed with a stage, massive LED wall, custom PCs, a VR arena, retro gaming nook and even vending machines. Between frantic cable runs, power and networking hiccups, Steam-cache preloads, and chair-shuffleboard side quests, it was nonstop chaos from start to finish.

Despite the time crunch, they powered through building Whale-branded rigs, setting up an 8v8 gaming zone, finalizing the LED stage, and rolling out a VIP area (plus a surprisingly epic “potty tour”). The result? A killer public LAN party you can relive in the chapters (0:00–21:15) of their epic video.
