The organisation is currently administered by 3 of Gumpcom's longest serving former staff members, who also staff the events alongside a few willing volunteers. Gaming Scotland as an organisation has run five successful events as of July 2011, although the staff have experience spanning the seven years of Gumpcom, including Gumpcom-LAN #15,{{cite news|title=Falkirk Herald largest LAN in Scotland Article|url=http://www.falkirkherald.co.uk/features/All-game-for-a-laugh.1733833.jp|publisher=[Falkirk Herald](/source/Falkirk_Herald)|date=31 August 2006|accessdate=13 January 2011}}{{Dead link|date=July 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} the largest Scottish LAN party in [current history](/source/Current_History). ==Current Events== right|thumb|Example of a Gaming Scotland LAN party Gaming Scotland currently hosts two LAN parties, small 25 man LANs in [Grangemouth](/source/Grangemouth) and large 100man+ events in Larbert. The small events are community focused and do not have many tournament games or sponsored prizes. The larger events have tournaments in some of the most popular [computer games](/source/computer_games) including; [Counter-Strike: Global Offensive](/source/Counter-Strike%3A_Global_Offensive), [Rocket League](/source/Rocket_League), Dota2, Overwatch and Warsow and is considered to have a more competitive edge in comparison to the Grangemouth events. The Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament is generally the most popular, with up to 8 teams. The past few years the tournament has been dominated by a team known as click2kill. The captain of c2k, jMz had this to say about the Gaming Scotland LANs: "Gaming Scotland LANs are holding the LAN community of Scotland together with their regular, fun and social LANs. There is a whole host of [games played](/source/games_played) ranging from battle arena, to survival games. The competitive side isn't taken too seriously which is great for newcomers and those who like a little bit of competitive play but don't want to spend the full weekend concentrating on one game. We've been coming since GS #17 which was our first CS:GO LAN win and we've managed to dominate and win a fair few more Dobbie Hall CS:GO tournaments." == References == {{reflist}} ==External links== * [http://www.gamingscotland.com/ ''Gaming Scotland''] Community Website * [https://web.archive.org/web/20181216031236/https://www.gumpcom.com/ ''Gumpcom''] Community Website Category:LAN parties --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Gaming Scotland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaming_Scotland) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaming_Scotland?action=history)).
