The Opale Arena #5 will take place in 15 days at Oye-Plage (near Calais) after the low number of registered players for the ShootMania and TrackMania² Stadium tournaments, with E2G we decided to cancel these tournaments.
There will be only the TrackMania ² Valley tournament which passes to 32 slots and promises to be very interesting. If the community answer present, the tournament will increase to 48 slots and the cashprize will be doubled (which is currently 600 € for 24 slots paid). Do not hesitate to come to the first LAN on Valley.
To reminder, you can find the mappack here:

We can see now how you support your lovely game :D[/troll]
ESL (not EMS), STC/NC, TMM, TmT, Giant Cup... and much more.. all these tournaments have no cash prices, and there's already a HUGE amount of participants in each of these tournaments.
Don't say such things when you don't even know the community. We play because we love our game. Players won't pay much more money to travel to an event where the cash price is so low. It's not like OA5 was like ESWC.
We play stadium, because we love stadium. That's it. We don't want some canyon/valley guys talking sh*t about us... thx
Good news for valley! But when there are <24 players, will the prizemoney go down again like last time? Because this shouldn't happen..
Because, we only need 15 players to get the full prizemoney in my oppinion, 15 players x 40€ inscription = 600€ ;) Grrr E2G..
I just see here that Stadium guys says that their game is the best driving esport game, but do not come when their is an offline event. And the french comunity in this game who can come is big enough to make the tourney full.
Beside that the garbage game (canyon/valley) is always full or almost (with foreigners).
Crying everywhere that stadium is the best esport and finnally not coming in events is ridiculously selfish and unforgivable.
I like to see stadium matches, but pardon me to say that, i wish it will be the last ESWC stadium. You dont fucking deserve that.
oNio you are one of few tmn players i respect. But when i see that, i have to say that the tmn community is shitty.

but anyway this is not a reason for not coming ...
after there's no debate that's just a fact ^ ^ I totally crazy stadium's opinion in relation to us, and vice versa!
has cap'arena there were about 500 euro for trackmania, it does not prevent the players other countries to come, because beyond the money, we are REALLY playing for fun to see our friends in lan...
I loved seeing onio, laurens, Klovni, majo and the whole community that French lan and I find it unfortunate that stadium does not benefit event like this to come laugh with us
I can understand it's difficult for foreigners to come but it's the same with 10k € of cashprize if you don't finish in the podium. Play a LAN need to stay fun and enjoy to see other players IRL and not only see the money. A choice can be to make only 1 LAN per year or search a cheaper solution (car, bus.... when possible).
Why are you such a hater...
Why do you hate stadium players so much.. All this because one event didn't atract as much players as it was suppose to be.
Calm yourself. Don't judge a whole community by one single event. lmao
This is just so wrong... So an offline event is just about earning money? It's not about meeting people with the same interest as you from all over the world - well, europe -? It's not about having a weekend full of fun?
Tbh, I didn't expect many players for every tourney, but that the registrations are that low so that two of three tournaments have to be cancelled is kinda sad... But imho it's not a fault of the community, it's just that the community seems to be too small. So don't blame the guys who could have joined this event because they are playing trackmania, blame the world for not playing trackmania! :P
But, if by pure chance i manage to qualify for the ESWC championship in france, it would already be a win for me. Meeting the community in real life is my "trackmania dream" for so long... just ask carl jr. or mael.. I talked so much to them about this goal in my trackmania career... anyways...
I can't participate to LAN in europe cause I would have to pay like 2000$ for the plane. I have an ocean to cross..
Anyways... I'm just saying that an event with a bigger cash price will indeed attract more players.
;)
Just hope this is anger that talks, and not you all. If not, this is just sad :( Hopefully, i know that 90% of players don't think like that and just keep quiet.
Offline events are for fun of course, but as I said before, and as Wally said before, it's not possible to pay maybe even thousands of euros just to come play somewhere. It's a full different thing to fly from Canada than to drive from Netherlands etc to France :p
Imo it's really sad to see months after months, years after years, that stadium tournaments (in France) are gathers less and less players, sometimes none. Atm only Valley and Canyon players travels on LAN, with high Cashprize or not, and meets them IRL. It's a true thing when valley or canyon players said that stadium players don't travel, specially french players, to play on the LAN which still try to organize a stadium tounament. ESWC and GA, and thats all ... Really sad imo.
I think stadium players really likes their game, but it's not the same goal than valley/canyon players comes in LAN, and the "cost to travel" isn't an excuse for many players (not for players who must comes from far away ofc). Do you see often Belgians or germans stadium players coming in LANs exept for ESWC or GA ? NO.
Dirt players from France and bordering countries are trying to meets them and organize LANs, certainly with Cashprize, but before all it's for the pleasure to meet us 2 or 3 week and in a year. Fun before all guys, It's this point that Stadium players are forgetting.
Anyway, it's jus my own view.
