LAN Boreal, formerly LAN du Clan Bros, was a unique biennial event in Quebec organized by Boreal eSports. In fact, when Boreal eSports closed, members of the staff took over and continued to operate it under a new name, LAN JDL. but still with the same mentality and community concept. <3
A community event, its primary aim was to enable Boreal members to be like-minded and have fun together. The choice of always doing it on the south shore of Quebec City, which is geographically central in the province, allowed the maximum number of people to participate. What set the LAN Boreal apart was that there was no purse. Organized tournaments were played for fun, and teams were drawn directly at the LAN to keep them as balanced as possible. Sponsorships, when available, were used to provide participation prizes. In addition, we always organized LANs on Thanksgiving, then eventually on Thanksgiving (October) and Patriots’ Day weekend (May), because these were long weekends.
There were seven LANs in all
Lan BROS 2012 (October)
The very first edition!

LAN Boreal, Spring 2016 Edition (May)
The Boreal LAN, Spring 2016, was the last LAN officially organized by Boreal eSports. It was towards the end of the organization, and we had already officially closed our competition teams and community. For this special edition, which was open to all, we decided to try and add some “real” tournaments, which were run by one of our partners, in addition to the usual friendly tournaments and activities.
