Its $10 to play and you get an all day pass, its run by a pretty nice guy named shane and i see places like this fail all the time and it would be nice to have one in the area actually succeed (FRAG is in eastlansing but its pretty crappy and not the most friendly starcraft area at least from my limited personal experience).
This weekend its a 2v2 tournament, hes been giving out $30,$20,and $10 respectively for the places depending on how many people show up.
Its not a place to make money or anything(at least yet) but it would be nice for the community to come out and meet each other and actually support a place hosting sc2 tournaments.
We had a turnout of 12 this week and there were probably about 6-7 diamond players so it wasnt TOO bad. He told me he was going to do alternating weeks of 1v1 and 2v2 tournaments for the month of november(he had been running 1v1 SC2 tournaments bi weekly on sundays) and as long as people keep coming out hell keep hosting them.
As of right now theres only 12-16 computers I think (didnt count but theres at the very least 12) so currently big turnouts could be an issue but hopefully that will be resolved since he said he planned on adding computers (i know how these businesses work so you have to take things said like that with a grain of salt because of finances)
For people who live farther away you could show up earlier and pay the $10 entry fee and get your day pass starting when they open and we can continue till close so its not like youd drive all that way for only 2-3 hours of game time (unless you wanted to do that its up to you)
Any interest would be awesome, dont hesitate to come regardless of your level because you can meet people and get better at the game. BW had a horrible community in michigan as far as numbers went (pretty much me, crazy, and response were the only ones i knew of that were fairly serious players, sorry if i forgot anyone) so it would be nice to be able to build a solid stable base.
Also if anyone posts here from MSU dont hesitate to spread the word and come, I could come pick a few of you up if you dont have transportation (I have a small car so it could only be a few of you.......DECAF IM LOOKING AT YOU)
Hopefully this can garner some interest.
The location is decent and you wont need to pay for parking either! Its right next to a speedway and they dont sell food at this place so you dont need to worry about bringing food in so dont worry about doing lunch or anything. + any of you that are 21 houlihans has happy hour from 4-7 so after the tourney we could get some decent food = )
