Just got back from the Boston, MA LAN! It was a lot of fun. I wish more people had shown up, but hopefully more will next time.
In total iirc 8 people showed up.
Edit: For clarification (in case you couldn't tell), the captions are for the image BELOW the caption.
Here's slog and saranghae
Here's my friend TheAfterEffect
This is... shit I can't remember your name/id SORRY IM TERRIBLE WITH NAMES /wrists
Here's LastShadow (left) vs -orb- (right)
Here's a front shot of me (-orb-)
Here's a shot of LastShadow
Another of last shadow
Here's last shadow's screen
Dark partial group shot clustered around Jamel's computer (sorry my camera sucks)
Here's Keeper-Auhsoj
Here's another front shot of Keeper-Auhsoj (aka Yoshiva)
From the back I can't tell who this is but it looks like it's probably slog
Slog's friend that I can't remember his name
From left to right: LastShadow, Slog's friend, Slog
Another LastShadow shot
Another LastShadow shot
TheAfterEffect front shot while he's playing
SaRangHae chillaxin
TheAfterEffect on the left preparing for a game, SaRangHae on right playing in a game
Same two people reversed
zomg 3 people playing counter strike next to each other (2 afk lol). These guys are prolly like cal-o noobs, i could totally beat them 3v1 with no monitor or mouse or keyboard or computer
same two guys again, this time in game i believe
Keeper-Auhsoj
slog
Slog
SLOG
LastShadow
LastShadow (offrace is for nubs amirite)
Group Shot hooray! 2 people already left when we took this shot though 
Surprisingly, despite all the bad stuff I had heard about him, Last Shadow actually seemed pretty chill. I had heard so much stuff about him being ridiculously egotistical on the point of narcissism, but he didn't really bring up anything brag-wise, and even when I asked him about stuff he didn't overdo it (wasn't modest either but w/e  ). He definitely had skills. I beat him in one game (lost 2-1 in the bo3), but I was the only one to take a single game off him in the whole tourney -_-;;
Everyone was chill and really cool. Overall it was a ton of fun, and I hope more people come next time

Why was everyone protoss?
EDIT
NVM, found one terran. haha.
|
No who's who? T_T
Just as I hit "post" there are captions. Figures.
Looks like it was a good time though. Congrats to whoever won.

Yeah actually LastShadow played random for a number of matches, and so did SaRangHae. TheAfterEffect was terran, and everyone else was protoss

orly?
Because I don't see Chill anywhere.
Cool LAN though, my school just recently had one with about 12 people and it was pretty sweet.
We should just start a teamliquid cult and take over a small town, turn the community centre or school gym into a giant LAN room
|
and a zerg haha
good to meet real TL players in real life

Lol. I think if chill were there last shadow would have had the shit beat out of him.
I understand now why lastshadow was such an idiot/etc.... I asked him his age and he said 16.... so if he's 16 now, back when he did all that stupid shit he was younger. Obv not a good excuse, but kids that age are constantly known for cheating/etc in games. T_T
|
Lastshadow looks like a punk. Cool event though.
|
Wait I thought lastshadow was some young chinese kid.

No he's skinny and white.

Am I the only one who's never heard of lastshadow before?
Anyway, looked like you guys had fun. About what ICCup level was everyone?
|
it should surprise no one that someone acts different in real life than he does online
and lastshadow was known for rigging maps to give him the advantage (and he'd still lose to idra)

LastShadow is B+ currently, TheAfterEffect is about C, max C+ iirc, I'm C-, and everyone else was somewhere between D and C

If he practiced, for sure, but he was pretty out of practice at this tournament. He got eliminated pretty early

It was at a place called Between Hours PC Cafe.
It's right next to the harvard ave T green line (b line) stop.
It was a ton of fun, they had good cappuccinos too
If you're ever back in boston, let us know so that we can schedule one for when you're here ^.^
and food we all had fun so we all agreed we need to do more in the future, so don't fret :D

lol wow that was definitely fun. i forgot to set the alarm and it went off at 6:30am and still felt sleepy the entire time. well next time it's gonna be later around noon. that was TOO early like many people had said. it was a little strange for me because it was the first time meeting everyone that i didn't even know from online. thanks for making it guys especially slog4 from nyc and the guys from RI? wish it would have been bigger prize money to cover your travel expenses. LOL nothing like having people call you by your account name in real life, LOL. jamel is coolest guy i met, i could see his monitor from where i sat when we game, but he trusted me not to look, i think i would have been snobby about it if i was him as it was for prize money. -orb- i just noticed your shirt in the pics, lol thats SEXY. i never heard of the infamous lastshadow before, sorry, but he's cool, he's really pro. wish i would have gave him goodgames. you guys should expect another one mid-February.
|
btw thanks Sebastian for taking the last pic.
|
definately, lets get some more people.. you did a great job hosting it.
|
I would have come, but unfortunately life interfered
Massive chem test tomorrow, so instead of gaming with buds, I spent the day pouring over shitloads of notes and review problems
T.T
|
i dunno but LastShadow was something like (75-25) A or A- last season and hes B+ right now. i played with him on hamachi during the period when 1.16.0 was out and iCCUP was down and he went like 51-4 vs TL members...pretty much only Ret could beat him.
about the negative stuff...the map riggin'....abusing...
hum..ok..but if you are A- on i-cup, where you obviously can't abuse, do you really need to do that retarded abusing shit when playing vs community members for fun?...im just curious to know how serious and how true the accusations were lol..cuz he seems like a nice guy.
and about the braggin' shit, any kid with his skill would brag online..and probably be cool in public/offline

Yeah for sure, jamel is awesome! He's been giving me cs 1.6 tips since the end of the lan :D
-orb- i just noticed your shirt in the pics, lol thats SEXY.
Haha thanks CafePress ftw. Dunno how you didn't notice it in person but then did in pictures tho LOL

HELL YEAH

Dude I fucking know that place, I used to hang out there all the time when I visited my friends at boston during HS.
Man that place used to have the best cake ever.

Ah yes that was the alias. Sorry for not remembering I'll edit it in

Andy's (Slog4's) friend whose name you forgot is Stephan I think. Don't think I ever got his TL/b.net alias.
I had a really fun time at the LAN with you guys, and it was great meeting each and every one of you. Everyone was very cool and friendly. Maybe I'll come up again for the next one if it seems like a lot of people will be showing, though it is quite a long drive. Also, Korean food is awesome. Wish there was a restaurant like that in my area.
|
blah, looked like you guys had a good time
it'll be a while before i can come to one

yeah it was pretty good, but damn 2 bucks for rice? come on...
also they gave us like 50 little tiny side dish things that no one ate LOL

wtf those kimchi radish tofu etc etc side dishes are fucking dope.
|
lol oh you guys went for korean? wish I have come because I had to wait almost an hour for a hair-cut. price you pay for a walk-in. yeah korean food is pretty expensive. good food for small portions. lol I should have told you guys about 4-5 blocks away there's a food court that is heavily filled with college students. they got korean, chinese, japanese, vietnamese food there. yeah lets get another one going soon! again, props to the guys that came from a long drive. lol just to put it out there, Between Hours was alright, maybe it was because it was my first LAN. I noticed you guys ordered food/drinks and they brought it right to your computer seat! thats some service. but I think they could have been a little more polite replying to my thank-yous. wow the stupid bug that pops up through the screen is annoying as hell reminding you that you're running out of time. couldn't they do like a timer or something to record the time you use the comp and pay after you're done using it? I was scared as hell to use the bathroom, I didn't notice if they got a lock or not because I was about to go into my pants. i'm still giggling about you guys standing up for a sec and got your seat taken, ROFL.
|
ROFL that happened like 10+ times to me and one time i left my seat for 5 minutes ands some guy who spoke no english is webcamming with what looked like his grandmother.
|
Yeah that was hilarious. The idiots that were there apparently couldn't tell that a custom keyboard, mouse, mousepad, and someone's backpack at a computer mean someone else is using it.
Chill lol some were okay but others were like WTF IS THIS WTTTFFFFFF
And yeah saranghae you shoulda come I was worried going for korean food since I don't eat beef, but they had a killer chicken dish (chicken bulgogi), and man that steamed egg was so good.
ANOTHER LAN
ANOTHER LAN
GOGOOOOGOGOOGOG
