For anyone that's going to MLG Raleigh and/or has been to previous MLGs, what should I pack and bring?

Things that I can think of on the top of my head are:

clothes
money
camera
laptop
snacks

Anything else?

As I hear it, drinks (unless thats included with snacks) if you don't like dr pepper.

If you are going as a spectator, there isn't really anything special you would need.

When you check in you get a wristband so you can come and go as you please if you want to go get meals or whatever outside of the venue. It's in downtown Raleigh so there are a few restaurants within walking distance.


edit: Be a responsible fan and bring a cheerful!

Bring something for a player to sign: keyboard, mousepad, shirt, your SC2 box, whatever. Bringing a cheerful could get you shown on stream, if it's good enough. The bar for cheerfuls has been rising very fast. Wear your liquid shirt if you've got one. Also, get comfortable shoes, because there's no way they will have enough chairs.
Force staff is the best item in the game.

I like your list so far I've actually started planning mine.

Be a responsible fan and bring a cheerful!


White board would probably be best so you can just keep changing this up for each game ^^

I'm planning on bringing a couple chairs with me as well and just leave them in my car better to have them and not need them than to be stuck without a place to sit imo.

Okay as someone who road-tripped to MLG Anaheim from Texas, I will hopefully give you some knowledge.

Chairs. There is a lack of them. I would bring a pillow because you may have to sit on the floor (sometimes they allow it sometimes they don't, bring one to be safe).

Food and Drinks if you aren't willing to shell the money. It costed me 3 dollars for a regular bottle of water. It's expensive there, so if you're on a budget I recommend this.

Comfortable ass shoes. You may be standing a lot. Your shoes will help your legs support you for hours on end, especially when those 4 straight back to back TvTs hit.

Camera and an extra battery (or just charge your shit every night unlike me)
- Epic moments deserve the kodak treatment.

Something to get autographed - I got a bunch of autographs. You'll want something autographed possibly. A shirt is typical. Some people brought keyboards, their SC2 box, or some even had their body signed. So whatever you want signed.

A backpack - You want your seat saved? Put a backpack on it. I don't recommend putting in important things like a laptop in it maybe just some food and such. Also you want to hide your food in this because they don't allow food past the door (unless you sneak it).

That's what I would call essential (beside money) to bring to the venue. Hope you have as much fun as I did when I went to MLG Anaheim.

I would like to add that you should probably not bring a folding chair with you to MLG. Some poor kid lugged one all they way to the rear of the seating area and was forced by security to fold it back up and put it away.

edit: oh also if you bring a pillow, there is the off chance that a progamer will ask to borrow it from you. when you get it back you have your very own special type of esports memorabilia: the ass pillow.

A small bag to carry things around including: portable white board for cheerfuls, gear to sign, and water bottles. Some snacks wouldn't hurt either.

not sure what you're going to need with the clothes

camera is pretty rough. obviously bring one to take pictures with/of the progamers, don't expect any light at all.

laptop for what? >.>

snacks and water can be pretty nice. progamers love gifts too

Same, my phone is crappy T_T

Thanks for the info guys. I think the comfortable shoes and maybe a pillow were the best suggestions haha.

I'm flying from NY so I won't be able to bring a huge whiteboard or anything like that with me sadly~

Anyone else flying in Friday? I might have to take a taxi or something
