losers bracket BO1 until like the semi's/finals.

I figure we give like 5 hours for the tournament, an hour a round for 5 rounds allows for bo3's right? I dunno...

We'll find out how many people are actually playing in the tourney first, guess we'll decide which we're gonna do.

ok it's settled then, winners bracket bo3's losers bracket bo1's.

We'll have time as long as people start playing at 1:45 sharp and keep games going.

Team Melee on fastest was awesome.

CaucasianTorenhire's engineering bays SHALL BLOT OUT THE SUN!

It was actually Team Melee Capture the Flag on fastest ^_^

also i agree with bo3 winners bo1 losers

except that the last three games sets so 3/4 semis and quarters on the loser side should be bo3

Man I'm so fucking pumped for this. I'm going to go 0-100 for the day but I don't care!

LuckyFool, I may need directions once I get kind of close. I'm coming from the south... (rt17 from home until 95, 95 until LAN) so once I get into the city I might need help because I'm absolutely not used to driving in the city. lol

The nice thing is the LAN center isn't actually inside Washington DC it's like a few miles outside (in Annandale) so it's not like terrible downtown city driving.

Getting to the lan center is pretty easy but call when u get close if u need directions. I'll send out a pm round a couple days before with my number.

Yeah, thanks man. I just don't want to end up being late or anything, even though it's not really a big deal, lol

I just have some OCD thing that makes me want to be on time.

to get to the LAN from the south, you take 495 North (i think it's 495, maybe 295) towards Tysons Corner, get off on Little River turnpike towards Annandale (if you see Nova Community college on the left, you're going the wrong way!) then turn left onto Ravensworth and take the left after 7-11 at the light.

or you can mapquest/google maps it or get a GPS.

I already have the general directions from mapquest >_<

I just have a terrible habit of misinterpreting them once I get into the city. It's been like that literally every time I've ever gone into Norfolk. >_<

Parking is ezmode. 1a2a3a etc. There's a huge lot and the shopping center itself doesn't do great business on weekends, so there will be *loads* of parking spots available.

Alright, I'll go. Move me from tentative to confirmed! I'm not sure if I'll want to participate in the official tourney, or just play casual games, but we'll see!

Sounds like we've got an awesome crowd so far. Looking forward to seeing everyone there! ^.^;

BTW, I'll be driving from Bethesda MD, so if anyone needs a ride from that general area, or can more easily get to my place than Annandale, lemme know.

ORB IF YOU DON'T COME, I HATE YOU.

the place is in a small shopping complex so there is a parking lot there with plenty of space

Hey everyone. I'm about 80% sure that I will be attending, but this is the first time that I've ever attended an event like this. Is there anything of my own that I need to bring?

if you're more comfortable playing with your own mouse/keyboard then bring that. Haemoculus (sorry if i mispelled your name) brought her laptop last two LANs. a lot of people brought their mice/keyboards. I personally don't as I am quite versatile on keyboards/mice and i know i'm not going to win so i think as long as i'm having fun i'm good.

and you should come 100%.

The last LAN one of the guys who works there was like "holy shit, 25 non-koreans play starcraft? What the fuck?!" and then the owner was like "You guys are pretty good!"

Let's put 25 to shame, and let's bring 40!!!!!! Bring your brothers, bring your mom and your grandma, have them play! We will have a blast!!!!!! LETS DO THIS!!!!!

all you need is money for the lan 20$, some money for food when we take dinner break, and if you want to bring your mouse and keyboard you can but they provide you with stuff i like to bring mine though cause im comfortable playing on it.

lan is coming up soon its gunna be alot of fun can't wait!!!

Also for tourney, just a suggestion maybe just one best of 5 for the final match to determine the winner because the 2x bo 5 at the first time took up alot of time but its just a suggestion.
