Three painfully long years ago, TimCon 9 was supposed to take place at the Esports Game Arena in the sleepy little town of Alphen aan den Rijn but was sadly cancelled, as many in-person events were, due to COVID-19. TimCon 9 was supposed to be our so-called 'big break' as, with the release of Diabotical on the horizon, both sponsors and attendees were showing great interest in the event.

Now three years later, the AFPS scene is still kicking (as it always will be) but the hype of DBT has died down a bit, we no longer have a list of sponsors to pick and choose from and to put it bluntly, most people have stopped playing. The AFPS scene once again looks a lot more like it did before the DBT hype, but that has never stopped us before. During the downtime, we've put a lot of energy into running online tournaments in Diabotical, CPMA and DOOMBRINGER and producing YouTube content for DeFRaG. In that time we've gained a lot of followers and support across the diverse Arena FPS and speedrunning communities.

So we are going into this TimCon 9 with less than what we had the first time we tried to do it, but in some ways we're going into it with more. A lot more. I cannot wait to see all your beautiful faces being lit up by gaming monitors as you frag (or defrag!) with friends and strangers alike. I know I speak for the rest of the TimCon crew when I say, thank you for the support.

>>> I'm glad you asked. I plan on participating in both tournaments myself alongside hosting them, and any volunteer help would be greatly appreciated for the following tasks:

A) Streaming: Whether it's your POV, spectating others or a full out event coverage with casting, it doesn't matter. Simply put, more streams = better. Let me know if you're planning on streaming the event and I'll add your stream to the list.
B) Admin/Referee work: Admining the events all by myself is doable for sure, but any willing extra pairs of eyes and hands are most welcome. Help with these will make the events run smoother, quicker and with less errors.
C) Social media management: This one is rather straightforward. Like, retweet, subscribe, you name it. Feel free to spread the CPM love along in your socials. Who knows, maybe that elusive 18th CPM player stumbles upon this event..

>>> If you simply cannot wait to watch some CPM action, you should tune in to watch the first AFPS Finland LAN Coverage this upcoming weekend at Kainalo's stream.

The event will have tournaments in Diabotical on Friday, followed by CPM and Quake Champions on Saturday. The event has a focus more towards having fun and getting together instead of tryharding. The stream provided will be predominantly in Finnish.
