LAN Massachusetts or bust!

So a lot of you know all about the New England SC2 League and how I am setting up tournaments in as many states as I can that have LAN centers. Connecticut will be in August at Friendly Fire (I still need to set a date for this) so we have almost every state covered except for Vermont and Rhode Island. The problem is that Massachusetts no longer has a LAN center for us to use. Boomkin, didn't get computers in time for us to have the 3rd qualifier there, so I had to scramble to make sure we kept it going. Luckily Galaxy Gaming up in Dover, NH was willing to help us out, though we did have to bump the start time up a bit. G.G. But now, Boomkin looks to be moving to Plaistow, NH. Good news for them, bad news for Boston.

You see, their last location was right off the MBTA train. Maybe a 1/2 mile walk and you were there and you could grab some Tacos Lupitas (OMGFG! unbelievable burritos!) and be all set. But what this does is it puts MA back off the map for LAN centers. There used to be TONS of them around. Now mind you, there are plenty of console gaming centers around, but none that could sport enough PCs to support a reasonable tournament (10PC min). But you know what there are plenty of? College campuses with computer labs and insane internet connections. You see where I'm going with this?

Now, I have tried to make contact with a lot of the CSL teams, and I think many of the leaders I spoke with never passed the word along, which is a shame, because right now they are just the people I need to help the league and e-sports out for the greater Boston and Massachusetts in general. I need people to help me get an event in Boston on a college campus. I've already started to approach talks with Tufts University to see if something can be set up, but not all plans work. I need a back-up plan. I need people who are at universities that can get information for me, or try and get contacts for me so I can set something up. Are you one of the people complaining about none of the league events are close enough to Boston? You're just the guy to help out, so what's stopping you?

I'm not sure colleges will be very supportive of you using their computer labs to host a LAN. Those are supposed to be for people to study with right?

Never had a LAN while at college eh? Back when I was going to school we used to take over a comp lab to D2:LoD and BW it up. yes, we could have chatted over mics and played over the network, but there is always something different, something more enjoyable about trash talking someone right in front of you and then pwning their ass. At least that's what I assume my opponents were doing.

Aside from that, this would also be an opportunity for the student body to raise a little money with concessions as well as the money I would be giving them for facility usage.

Yeah we did lans all of the time at UMass. UMass also had a dedicated CS server for a long time until the guy that ran it left the IT department.

I would love for this to happen but unfortunately I'm no longer a student and don't have any contacts for places with a ton of computers. A place for people to come and play Sc2 in Boston would be a great thing though... clearly by the Day9 panel last night there are plenty of Sc2 players in the area!
