I was planning to present myself there when I was visiting my family, too bad I had to go one week earlier

Anyway, it looks great and you also had a fair share of spectators, hopefully in the future you will be getting even more LAN events (well, if you can call it lan..battle.net 2.0!!! *shakes fist*).

And GL in WCG :D it sure will be a unique experience for him.

Also from what I saw from the pics it got some coverage on tv right? on that "buena onda" program. I beleive that it is one of the presenters the guy with the cookie monster hat.

Do you know if they aired the interview or something? I'm kind of curious to know what they said about SC and all that jazz.

I'll try to go this December, it sure will be great to participate in one of your tourneys :D

You are welcome ko1tz, by the way I can say for sure that no LAN in sc2 really, REALLY complicates things when organizing a tournament with low resources, we have to through pins and needles every time we organize a tournament because of the internet issue...

Blizz fought piracy with no Lan but basically handicapped all grass root movements...

amazing read. good to see sc2 growing even in the unlikeliest of places :D

Kinda offtopic, but any link to that keyboard? it looks quite decent and for 11dollars it might be worth giving it a shot ;D
