What is ESA?
What's new this year?
This year we want to emphasize diversity in speed gaming and are opening up game suggestions for longer RPGs, rhythm games, games with gimmicky accessories, shmups and challenging auto-scrollers. Basically anything as long as it's entertaining.
There will be two parallel streams. We are going to do our best to balance them as much as possible. This means that we can hit twice the hours of games. Great isn't it?
We are introducing more transparency in the game selection process. There's currently a focus group consisting of 5-7 people tasked with making the first round of selections.
On top of that we're looking to have a couple of on-site tournaments and maybe put the finals on stream together with the mandatory victory ceremony (including a big fish dropping the trophy!)

When can we reserve or book a hotel room?
30x double rooms are already reserved in the name of ESA.
We will get to distributing them after the schedule is finalized. There is no need to worry, the hotel manager told us there are more rooms available if we do need them, at the same room rate.

My only question is, how many speedrunners can be crammed into a hotel room :p?
There are a few quads and triplets. The difference in price is very close to neglectable. However no rooms of this type is currently reserved.
Super hyped for this, totally will try to get there from this here Finland!
