LAN WAR XX

Looking for the best 24 hours in PC gaming in Indiana? Look no further than Indiana University’s LAN WAR, March 26-27. This marks the 20th such event in IU Gaming history, and it promises to be one of the best ones yet. There will be tournaments, food, Nos, and prizes. Bring your rig, and they’ll provide the rest.
