Ladies and Gentlemen.
Tonight, I present to you the return of a tournament we last saw over a year ago - The KING of the LAN.
The rules of the competition are simple.
1) One player is the King of the LAN. They will be given a crown, scepter and robe to honour them.
2) If you wish to become the king, you must first challenge the king. To do this you must inform the king that you wish to challenge them for their crown.
3) Once the king has been challenged, a random 1v1 game shall be picked from the assortment of games listed below. Either player is allowed to veto the game. If necessary to pick a level, both challenger and king must agree on the level choice.
4) The King, and the challenger ascend onto the royal stage to do battle. If the King wins, they remain on the throne to fight another day. If the challenger wins, the king is slain and must sulk away in defeat.
5) The tournament will draw to a close at 1pm on the final day of lan. At which time any challenge for the throne will finish and the winner declared "Last King Standing"
6) There are 3 ways to win in this tournament.
Confirmed as part of the King of BreachLAN.
PC - Unreal Tournament 2004 Deathmatch. (Regular Weapons, NO INSTAGIB, 1v1 maps only)
PC - CS:GO - Arsenal Arms Race (small maps only)
PC - Hedgewars (Default weapon choices - Six hogs per team)
PC - Starcraft II Heart of the Swarm (GSL maps only)
PC - Tetron 2000 (Three rounds of three lives)
PC - Armagedtron (Ten Rounds - One tiebreaker if needed)
PC - Call of Duty 4 (small maps only)
PC - Street Fighter IV (Three rounds of three fights - No character restrictions - Random levels)
PC - Flatout 2 (One race with derby cars, one race with street cars, one race with race cars)
Potential Games - These games may be entered into the tournament if hardware / software licences allow.
Console games - we would really love for a lot of console games to be a part of this tournament. Particularly previous generation consoles. Id particularly be interested in games like Smash Brothers
The "Hall of Meat" mode on the "Skate" games would be great. If you have a PS3 and a Skate game then this would be awesome.
Id also like to see if we can add another racing game. If you have any ideas please suggest them.
Basically any game that works well as a 1v1 and which could be picked up quickly by a novice
Games which will NOT be a part of the tournament.
Any game which requires "Games for Windows Live" - Please don't suggest a game that requires this.
If you have any questions about this tournament, please leave a comment below and I'l take care of it for you.
Thanks.

- There is no limit to the number of times anyone can be king.
- The king must accept any challenge. If the king does not accept the challenge, they are automatically forfeited their title.
- Both the king and the challenger have one veto each per challenge. If either the king or the challenger veto's a game, a new one shall be selected. Unused veto's do not stack.
- In the event king and challenger can not agree on a level, a random level will be chosen.
- Any defeated player must wait a minimum of two hours before re-challenging for the crown.
- Each player is allowed to win in only one category. In the event that one player is in the lead in more than one category, the precedence shown above shall apply and the prize awarded to the next player.
- Challenges can occur at any reasonable time. Reasonable being defined by gemini during the tournament. Challenging at 6am is not reasonable. Similarly, the reigning king being asleep at 6pm is also not reasonable.
- The King Slayer win condition is based on the number of UNIQUE kills. If you slay the same king three times you get only one point. Slaying three different kings earns three points.
