... your very own tournament host 
Sanity, thanks for the camera, and mad props for driving from Colorado... nice to finally meet you =D
AcrossFiveJulys: "FUCK I"M NOT MISSING ANOTHER SOCAL LAN. The man stands by his word.
Looking down the smoking barrel
Methinks he's a TL forum lurker, thanks for coming out (Johnny). And thanks for the quarters.
KingHillBilly's friend... aka TFlame =D
After getting eliminated from the tournament, what better way to entertain oneself by taking random pics?
See above caption
The famous KingHillBilly..!!!
Cypressman's beat up kor keyboard... (see next caption)
Doesn't stand a chance against Machine's EG shit
You flew from Arkansas (Stiffy[aov]) so you're officially fuckin awesome
Obligatory shot of the EG shirt. There you go Colbi!
Sanity getting ready to DT me
Semih is pretty fuckin good... too bad he could never stop 3 gate robo builds
Meatpost, the Machine-macro Zerg
... and another group pic
Again, thanks everyone for coming. I hope you all had fun! Expect the next SoCal LAN to be even bigger and better. I'm going to try and possibly find some sponsors so we can get an even larger prize pool to attract even better players. Also going to try and work in live casting (almost got it, but it ended up crashing their comps every time we tried)...
So ya! Thanks everyone, hope you all enjoyed. Cheers.

Yea, I ended up getting there right after you guys left I assume and I probably drove passed you guys eating at Islands.
PS- Why Island's? that is like the worst restaraunt on the entire street lol. (there's applebees, flamebroiler, mong bbq, Philly's best, Full moon sushi, Shin Sen Gumi, etc)

Well I work all day on Saturdays normally, and I am really hurting for money right now and on top of that I haven't been playing bw at all. (street fighter 4 baby!)
|
next one will be in a few months, I'm sure you can save up $25 =P

Well it's not the up front money cost, it's the time mainly. So it really costs me a lot more than 25$ to come to an event since I miss 8+ hours of work (plus the gas and food).
btw, how was CCP as far as accommodation? Was it better than the rest of the places?
|
it was very good, there were no real issues except for adjusting sensitivity, but the guy said that he would make sure that issue was resolved for next time to make it much easier.
|
I'm going to try and see if we can get a better rate, because the place was pretty empty except for us.. there were more people for BW there from 11am-7pm than came in the store during that entire period (pretty much just a few people in an out + some fat WoW dude and his son I guess who were there literally all day).
|
Don't forget it was like 90 degrees in there, but it was an abnormally hot day.
|
lol that WoW dude was so huge .... and he fell asleep at 1 point... T_T he smelled too

LOL! that guy was hillarious
|
lol are you guys talking about the black dude who smokes? Yea that guy is there every time I go there and I don't go there at regular intervals.
Generally the place is much busier after 6pm, lot of Dota , CS, and BF players .
|
He didn't look black to me, more hispanic, but he was probably like 300 lbs O__O! he was literally there from 11am until we left, and ya he fell asleep at his chair once.

I CANT KILL ANY OF THESE FUCKING FOOLS

nice lan guys Wish more comp showed up but what can you do 
|
That was a pretty cool tourney. Let me know when you guys wanna do the next one. Like Xeris said, we've already made a few adjustments so we can better accommodate different players. Streaming should be OK next time with a laptop and all necessary software installed & configured.
Next time, I'll make a few banners to post on our site as well as in the store to promote the tourney ahead of time. If ppl in the store wants to sign up for the tourney, how do they go about doing that? Email Xeris?
|
Ya that'd probably be the best way/
|
i feel like some of the prize money shoulda auto-went to the guy who flew xD
