‘ next major competitive event, the Split 2 playoffs, is taking place in Stockholm, Sweden. Since it’s a LAN event, qualified teams will need to appear in person to compete, but the community was shocked to learn that, of the 40 teams, only half of them would have their travel expenses covered by publisher EA..
