FortLAN Returns Spring Events

Thanks for Joining Us at FortLAN Spring 2025

We had an amazing weekend at the Grand Wayne Center, and we appreciate everyone who attended our first spring FortLAN in years. Restarting this annual event was a big step, and your support, enthusiasm, and community spirit meant everything.

What Went Down
The BYOC floor was lively all weekend with open play and community matches featuring Team Fortress 2, Halo, Counter-Strike 2 Gun Game, Helldivers, Roblox, The Finals, and Golf With Your Friends. There was always something happening—full matches or spontaneous mini-tournaments.

We hosted tournaments in Minecraft Deathmatch, Counter-Strike 2, and League of Legends—thanks to all competitors for some intense, fun matches.

Special shoutout to Odyssey Esports for their exciting Smash Ultimate finals streamed on Twitch, attracting top regional players battling for the trophy—one of the weekend’s highlights.

No Extras, Just LAN
This time, we focused solely on gaming—no tabletop or streamer zone—just a pure LAN weekend celebrating what we love. It was great to reconnect with new and familiar faces doing what they do best.

Giving Back
Thanks to your support, we raised $1,500 for The Shepherd’s House, a local nonprofit supporting veterans in recovery. Your participation helped us make a meaningful impact.

What’s Next
FortLAN Fall is October 17–19 at the Grand Wayne Center. Tickets will be available soon—watch our socials and email for updates.

Meanwhile, check out our upgraded merch on Exclaim.gg for new gear and jerseys: exclaim.gg/store/fortlangg. VIPs, remember to use your discount code for the new jersey.

Thank you to everyone—attendees, volunteers, sponsors, and partners like the Grand Wayne Center, Odyssey Esports, Three Rivers Festival, Wabash Casting, and LANFest—for making this event possible.

See you in October.
