Setting Up Our First Huge Gaming Event was CHAOS

In just seven hours, Linus and the team transformed a humble badminton club into Whale LAN 2025—a 250-seat LAN party complete with a stage, massive LED wall, custom PCs, a VR arena, retro gaming zone, vending machines, and even a local Steam cache to keep downloads blazing fast. They battled power surges, dodgy networking, and relentless time pressure, proving that duct tape and determination can fix almost anything.

Between pre-loading games, retro couches, an 8v8 tournament setup, a VIP lounge, and an impromptu office-chair shuffleboard, every moment was a whirlwind of chaos and creativity. When the dust settled, what looked impossible seven hours earlier was a fully decked-out gaming extravaganza—caffeine and last-minute problem-solving included.
