I've been to one lanwar and one MML.
the lanwar was awful. The power my row was using (about 30 people) kept shutting on and off throughout half of a day. It got so boring during that time and frustrating. It severely crippled my porn dl's. We did get free unlimited hooters wings and $.50 Bawls for being one of the unlucky people though.
MML was much smoother except for CS 1.6 not working. Appearantly Burden (lanwar administrator) had invited Steam to setup a booth in past MML's but hadn't this time for reasons someone took personal. There was a CS update the day MML started and it prevented people from playing if they hadn't updated. At this MML, they only had a DSL connection for 1,300 gamers, and only allowed two computers at a time to DL the update. To actually get the update you had to MOVE your computer to a table that supplied the only two connections that allowed DL.
I also got 4th in the ping pong tourney
