Hello ESL-Team,

my little brother would really like to join in there aswell, but he is still 15 years old. Is there any possibility he can come, too?

regards,
Selnight

Update: he changed his opinion :p he doesn't want to come.

Hey,

So, if my mother would sign one of those "Elternzettel" or what ever you want to call it, giving me the parental power and my brother the permission to come with me, would that be okay?

@Chruit & co: We'll try to get something working for people below 16, no promises, but we will try our best to offer some solution during the season.

I'm rather disappointed, they sold way more tickets than they had spots in the studio, and I ended up watching the bulk of the games on a tiny tv in some other room. It was still ok, but not what I expected and hoped for. Also no Teemo hats :(

What does not aviable mean?Yesterday night there were still the tickets aviable for the next two weeks now this .... does this mean sold out or that the shop is down until the shedule for the upcoming matches is out or something?Not aviable is a pretty non informing sentence ... and if this is just cause the first weekend is over where do we now get the tickets for the second and third weekend?
