12 in all! (I didn't miss anyone did I?)
Thanks for coming out everyone!
Was nice to see 4 new faces who missed the first one join us this time.
Some people came and left at various times throughout the afternoon/evening so here's a recap of EVERYTHING!
Didn't take many pictures this time around, took a few shitty ones of people playing in the dark pc cafe on StorrZergs cameraphone but yeah...
No long battle reports this time we played a more casual/fun series of games this time, no tournament.
Showed up around 3pm and played an epic series of 2v2's with storrzerg/luckyfool team vs orb/haemonculus team. storrzerg/LF team won 5-3, gg's! When storr didn't die 3 minutes into the game the storr/LF team was usually ok.... usually.... Lost a 1v1 vs CaucasianAsian (u dt rushing fag u)
Played in a racewars game which was really fun in person. Everything is way more fun in person no matter what ur playing. Some of the race wars games were truly epic games, 3 -correction: 4 control groups of fully upgraded scouts plowing through dozens of turrets, clutch cc's covering cannons (LOLWHAT?) mass queens and infested terrans were just some of the epicness of these games.So after this we head to dinner and Clutch3 meets us there, I talked to him on the phone beforehand and I was like "yeah just look for the group of sc nerds walking up to the restaurant and you'll know its us." As we're walking up there he declares; “YOU GUYS FROM TL.NET?” (The most awkward question in the universe to ask random people in a PC cafe btw) Good times, no korean bbq this time we just headed to a casual sit down burger place. Dinner conversation revolved around sc2,
The Rock and his 1base carrier builds, oldschool progamers and iccup adventures. All totally awesome convo's of course. Couple people left after dinner but we had 8 or so head back after dinner for some games. Had some more 1v1's, Clutch3 vs duckett, duckett vs storrzerg, and some more team games. Watched proleague games, day 1 of the playoff matches between OZ and CJ. Talked with CaucasianAsian and Duckett for a long time about the oldshcool days of TL.net and all it's glorious drama. We all agreed that TL is pretty drama free these days, which is both a good and bad thing heh.
Had debates over what the best feeling is as a terran player. I said emping stacked arbiters and protoss army, duckett said owning muta eggs with mines. "How do you know they're muta eggs though? I mean they could always have been drone eggs and u'd never know the difference..." LOL.
Told lots of stories about good past wcg times. Talked about epic old maps and epic old progamers guys like
TheMarine, 
ChoJJa, Goodfriend. Talked to one of the guys who works at Seoul PC, he said his uncle used to be a progamer, DongWook2 was his aka, 0-2 lifetime but damn that's pretty cool. All in all a really fun night that everyone seemed to enjoy including myself!
On another note I've also started a spreadsheet of names of everyone who has gone to past lans, lives locally or who has expressed interest in attending future LAN's. This makes sending out PM's with news on future events/LAN's easy.

PM me if you live in the area and are not on the list. Also PM me if you wish to be removed from the list.
Moving forward it looks like we may have a LAN upcoming at someones place during this month. This event would be organized by someone other than myself. Also there is growing interest in possibly meeting up somewhere somehow for OSL/MSL finals. This possible event would be organized by someone other than myself as well.
The next LAN I'll probably have time to organize will be @ Seoul PC one week after WCG USA, which will be the first weekend in October when a couple special guests will be in the area.
I might also do something on a lower scale before that weekend in October but I will be fairly busy for the next 3 weeks or so it'll be up to others to take the lead for a little while if we're to keep TL.net alive in the DC/BAL area. :p
Take care everyone, until next time!

hoping that there'll be another LAN before September. Maybe crescentia and I can host.
