    More news!

    There is a nice tournament scheduled for day 28, for all the people who hasn't made it to day 2 and doesn't feel like going to the side events:

    I'll be at the GP 100% (as a player). Any other Americans planning on going should PM me for some playtest/hangout time the day before.

    I am seriously considering making the trip across the pond to hit up GP Madrid. This may be a total noob question but will announcements at the tournament be made in English and/or Spanish?

    English.

    I'd love to meet up with some non-Belgian/Dutch Sourcers, as a matter of fact (got my flight and hotel booked, staying with a huge amount of Dutch Legacy players). Anyone want to have some kind of way to recognize each other?

    I'll also be going to this.

    The dutch people could start wearing a dutch flag button on their shirts. I would actually do that if that didn't seem so nationalistic on an international tournament.

    I do know I will sign every matchslip with both my real name and my source name though. I don't really care from which country people are, I'm far more interested in meeting other sourcers.

    If I do make it to the GP, you will be able to recognize me by my USA soccer scarf. I plan on attending the friendly versus Netherlands on March 3rd in Amsterdam.

    2166 kilometers to Madrid, Spain

    Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

    It's 20 minutes from Opera station at the city centre, you could stay anywhere in the Puerta del Sol area and enjoy what Madrid can offer. Besides, anywhere near Line 10 (the fastest one) will do fine. Anywhere near stations Príncipe Pío and Plaza de España will be near, too, but Madrid's Metro work very well and there are lots of stations in the city centre.

    I'm going to be there - my hoodie will have my online alias on the back: PhanTom.
    Got a hotel in lastminute.com, a bit far away, but it's 4 stars for 60 euros for 3 nights, so all is good.

    I'm so trying to fly. It wouldn't even be that expensive, couple of hundred euros. Just need a hotel and that's about it. Damn excited to finally have a chance to attend one of the Legacy GPs.

    Me and another of my mates are staying at the Celuisma Florida Norte, which is only a tubestop away, I think!

    My friends and me will be at Barbieri Hostel all the week prior the GP, in case some of you want to say "hello". Fell free to get there, share a pizza, play some random matches and talk in a very poor, terrible English with us.

    At the GP site, look for some nice guys with strange names, numbers and the FeFe Team heartfrighten logo in the back.



    P.S: How's the weather in Madrid in late February? It's summer at the Southern Hemisphere yet, and we're used to temperatures over 30ºC by the time. Perhaps we'll need clothing for a 5-10ºC in the Spanish late winter, or not so much?

    I guess it will be cold, around 5-10 º, but throughout the day will reach 15 ... I hope.

    If someone wants to ask something about the city, hotels and others, or even testing, can send me a PM.

    What are the artist coming to this tournament? Is it announced yet?
    Is selling cards allowed at the GP? Or is it only for official stores?

    Edit: I'm staying at Best Western Arosa in Puerto del Sol area, from 26-28th of february
