Program

On Thursday, 29. September, the General Student Council (AStA) of Paderborn University invited gamers to a big LAN Party in the Mensa Academica canteen. The emphasis was not so much on partying as on competing against each other in tactical, strategic or team-player games. Participants’ private computers were connected to form a local network – the eponymous Local Area Network, or LAN). Once the computer connection was up and running, the gamers could compete against each other or simply play together. Especially during the coronavirus pandemic, lots of students had taken their notebooks to play games such as Skribbl, Among Us or Minecraft with their friends and realised that gaming is fun! Gaming space for enthusiasts of all kinds of genres was offered in three gaming areas. In addition, console tournaments for the classics, such as FIFA and Smash Bros, were held on site.
