There's one on Main/Broadway that looks decent.

The best netcafe ever was near UBC but got shut down a while ago

There are lots of good ones at the end of robson towards the water(which is basically like koreatown)

Where are you staying?

Im down in New West right now, im still looking for a more permanent place to stay but i have 2 jobs now and pretty familiar with the whole city already.

So i decided its time to play some SC... its been a few months since my last game i played and maybe meet a few people visiting these net cafes

i seen a few but they are always real ghetto and like 2 bucks for 15 minutes lol

and unit id be more then happy to play vs you to warm up haha, its been a while but i think im gunna come back even better then i was before, all this pro-gaming watching has helped i think

NIKOLA CAFE on Robson, it's right next to a block buster, small little door with a sign that leads down stairs to a MASSIVE room filled with koreans playing sc/war3/dota

its 2$/hour with 1$ drinks, they have some good deals too.

I'm going to be the only non-Canadian to post in this thread!!

So... how big is Vancouver exactly? Don't you need to be more specific about the part of the city where you want to go to an internet cafe?

ok thanks! i will be visting Nikola i actually know exactly where it is and even partied with a bunch of koreans and one happened to be a girl that worked there, I just never visited it yet.

if its as good as it sounds this will be a great spot because its not too far from the bar i work at during the days

And micronesia, van is pretty big i should be more specific but transit here is pretty good u can take the train to anywhere in the city pretty much and it comes very offen u never have to wait more then 5 minutes normally

lol ok

you dont think transit's good? i dont know about you but Translink served me pretty good for when i used it for school. got me there on time, and the only times i was late was when someone commits suicide on the platforms.

then again i live in an area where 2 main busses pass by my place, so i guess its different for people in the backcountry.
just lurking around...

I knew of all the crazy Richmond ones, cause people back in high school who lived out there would go play CS for HOURS. I wouldn't mind hitting up the downtown one since I'm there ALL the time because of school, and although I have my own computer at home, there's something about the LAN atmosphere that you can't quite beat. I'm a terribad D- but working on it

I am organizing weekly meet-ups for this CSL season for team UBC. We are planning to meet every Sunday at ~7:30 PM on UBC campus (exact location not confirmed yet, but probably ICICS building). If you guys wanna bring your laptops and play with us (not for CSL ofc) or just come to watch/cheer/enjoy some SC on projector screen, then everyone's welcome :D .

Would that be available to non-UBC students? Alas, I also do not have a laptop but would probably be willing to show up anyways.

NIKOLA is great. I'm glad someone else here recommended them. I don't go often since it's on the other side of town -- I'm in Burnaby near Metrotown -- but when my bro is down or I'm staying at my grandmas I trip over there. As for your area, I don't know any unfortunately. There used to be one at Metrotown, but it shut-down and the one that popped-up in it's place has a different target audience I think (few computers, more food/drink-oriented, no SC.)

I personally think transit here is great. Not perfect, but shit, what do you expect? The only thing I can complain about is how crowded the skytrain can be around 8am. Shit is crazy.

Oh, and let me just say R.I.P. Cyber Space for anyone else who remembers it. On Robson across from the Safeway at Denman. That place was a quarter of my childhood

Do you need some key or something to get into ICICS? I remember something about that from the failed OSL meetup thread

We should meet-up some time, though I don't find myself over there often. No real point (other than my grandma lives a few blocks away, but I'm a terrible grandson and don't visit her.)

Does Nicola let you go on iccup? I remember DNA in richmond has a connection filter (playing HoN would lag really bad) so you can only plan LAN with your friends.

This year's AE will be at UBC and i'm hoping they will organize another SC tournament like last year's...
