VIDEO + Show Spoiler +On November 09 2009 03:43 LuckyFool wrote:Herro TL! Yesterday the SC For Life LAN took place at Seoul PC in the Washington D.C area. this blog entry is all of my media and replays that I got from the event. Unfortunately this LAN hit a major setback when the original LAN center basically out of the blue told Xeris a week before the LAN they were shutting down their LAN center. "Ummm u could have liek told us this a bit earlier. thx 4 pretty much focking us over... -_-" SeoulPC isn't the kind of location for the high magnitude type of event that Xeris envisioned when first planning for this event but with travel plans for some people in place already, pretty much damage control shifted the event to Seoul PC which has been host of 3 previous DC area LAN's. It was VERY fun having some really great players there like Nyoken, Machine, Semih, Gretorp... There were some really amazing games played. I'm really glad I got games with both Nyoken and Machine in tournament play. I played alright, after getting crushed horribly by Nyoken right off the bat I managed to turn it around making it out of my group and into the quarterfinals vs Machine where I lost in 3 games. All in all I only dropped games to Nyoken and Machine all day. I played Machine pretty well. As far as some of the other games I haz no clue other than some of the epic second stage games which are talked about later. enough talking, onto the videos: Little walk around before the group stage games started. Not everyone was there yet. Princeton Team totally awsum coming to another DC LAN. JoeKim playing with 6 inch monitor size. Semih vs Gretorp group stage. tossim vs nyoken quarter finals game one. looking at second stage bracket and tossim vs nyoken game 2 Gretorp and Semih semifinals Nyoken Machine semifinals Interviews with HatchetWound, CaucasianAsian, valtyr and LordWeird Interviews with JoeKim njoylife Sadly my camera battery died so no finals footage or post tournament interviews. (FAIL) And I have 4 replay packs.

Nyoken vs Semih game 2 LF vs Machine games 2 and 3. and haven't watched anything else I'm sure there are other gg's in here. Didn't get Machines rep pack sadly but there are 6 Machine games, he played nyoken 3 games and me 3 games. How about THAT for some media coverage... Big props to Machine, JoeKim, Semih, n.joy_life, the princeton gosus, Never, valtyr and whoever else traveled from afar to attend this event. Also great play Nyoken u rock yo. While this LAN didn't quite formulate into what was originally hoped for I hope everyone had fun yesterday I know I did. Until next time! -LF[osu!]

a LOT of people? I've hosted like 5 LAN's ;p
|
can't wait to slam machine in front of all his fans IN PERSON
|
Ya, Xeris is really experienced in this. Especially since all the Washington D.C. people are all really into SC :D. Just wondering if the $25 was part of the LAN fee too. Can't believe I missed that LAN center when I was there, is it cheaper or more expensive? Certainly looks a bit more gamer friendly though hehe.
|
Add me as tentative too please. If I'm free, I'll try to go.
|
Anybody already been in this Netolic place? What's it like? Hope it's got better ventilation/air conditioning than the other place. Took a look at the site and it looks pretty awesome, but I was hoping someone could possibly give us a different perspective.

I am tentative @ LordWeird, I have never heard of it, but here's an image i grabbed off google
|
it's really nice, 2934082390x better than that garb Seoul PC place, plus it's non smoking. $25 includes the cost for playing, so it's a $25 flat fee - some goes to the LAN center, and left over goes to prize pool.
|
I've never heard of this place, looks really nice and its only $2/hr, same as Seoul PC
|
btw I hate 'tentative' =P!
|
place looks pretty sexy, but what's going on for food?! food is the most important part, yo

i will go to some korean restaurant for good times and ownage food if others are up for it after the tourney (and if there are no formal plans)
|
I'm not an organizer of dinners, if someone wants to organize some post-lan food action, feel free OO!

I'm really digging this place by the looks of things. I don't mind going outside to smoke since I do it all the time at home anyway. Wonder if they have a side door or a smoking gazebo or something so we don't have to be out front constantly coming through the main entrance. Intense games of StarCraft sometimes warrant a good smoke.
I really like the way the computers are spread out. It's very spacious and you'll be able to maneuver without constantly bumping into people or their chairs while they're trying to play. Also looks like they have vending machines which is good because I'm sure they'll be cheaper than the Seoul PC Gaming Center.
Also, English computers FTW?? On Saturday, my computer kept switching over to Korean text and it was really pissing me off.

Maybe from Providence with LS. Cant be sure right now but Ill keep yall updated.

this should be alot of fun ^_^ love going to lans!

I was thinking rematch of the groups at wcg. machine vs lz, and then lz goes z on the last game to clutch the series and confirm his title as best zerg in America yes?
or possible some dark horse as p
|
as if machine could ever challenge lz

True, so the question is how much does machine have to pay xeris to put himself on the opposite side of the bracket of Lz?
|
I think the real question is how much does he need to pay me to put myself on the opposite side of the bracket, sup?!
I kid, I kid.

Yeah the best part is all the casual games we'll be playing.

Highlight of this LAN is the tournament fo sure, with the amount of money on the line and the talent present I am expecting some really high level play.

"Want to go smoke?" "I'm eating, after dinner mebbe?" "ok" (45 seconds elapse) "Ok how 'bout now?" "After dinner?" "Right, gotcha" (another minute or two goes by) "Hey so are we gonna go smoke?" "YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH"

No, unfortunately we didn't exchange words. I was the kind of tall fat guy in the Iced Earth shirt/black hat. I think who you might be thinking of was Beachac because he was doing the same thing to me, kind of.

xeris did u say you were gonna check the place out in advance? I'm probably stopping by there this Saturday to check em out for myself (how sc runs on their pc's, monitor sizes, if they have maps/iccup launcher, pc positions cording etc) I'm expecting good things though, a couple friends of mine say it's a pretty sweet place and I've heard pretty much all good things so far.
|
make sure to check the distance between the USB port and the chairs T____T
|
Make sure to ask if they provide their own headphones or we have to bring our own.
yea Sentenal.. take that from Storr. I'm going to roll you come LAN time.

So, you'll probably be outclassed a little, but it's not like you won't be able to play any good games with anybody.

According to Magnum, his job is revoking his vacation time to go to this thing, therefore preventing him from going. And Magnum is my ride, so since he can't go, neither can I. Hes going to try to somehow get off for it, but since he likes to consume penis, not to count on it.

I will be able to check the LAN center out this evening. I'm sure it rocks but I feel a scouting report should be done anyway!
like I said before I'll be checking how sc runs on their pc's, monitor sizes, if they have maps/iccup launcher, pc positions cording and any other stuff that may be of interest.
also xeris the zip code is only 3 digits long in the address in the op. Not a huge deal but it makes mapquest cry lol.

how were the keyboards? I'll probably bring my own just to be safe but I'm just wondering. Also is the lighting good inside? Using the seoul pc keyboard and playing in the dark was a big pain as far as building things went :D

ok.
NETOLIC BATTLE REPORT #1
Me, Rob, and Collin (Luckyfool + Cpeter123) went to Netolic tonight. Right off the bat... the place is HARD TO FIND. Like holy shit it's upstairs and you have to go into a hairsalon stairwell or some shit...I'll take some pictures of the building and do a "how the fuck you get here" picture collage.
To answer some of Zepp's Qs. Keyboards are "logitech valuekeyboard" http://www.vdhsoft.be/img_art/26782.jpg There you go. Bring your own stuff, there's a LOT of room in the cubey things. Yes that's right. CUBEY THINGS. I'll upload pics later and post em, but they have dividers between PCs and there's a TON of room per space. It's like 1.5 or 2 Seoul PC spots to 1 Netolic spots.The lighting... well my pictures will explain that...but there's 3 lights in the entire building.
And they're black lights.
If you have bad inferencing skills, that means it's dark.
There's a vending machine for snacks + drinks up at the front desk so that works. A good sign - we walked into the building and I looked over the guy's shoulder at the desk and saw a Hite vs WeMade match playing on his other PC and me, rob, and collin talked with him about SC and stuff. We were like... "yeah 40 peopleish will be here for a big SC tournament" and he was all WOH?!?! and he might actually play in the tourney.
Xeris, might want to update this in the OP.
There is a 5 Dollar Registration Fee. Just like Seoul PC, you have to create your user/pw for the PC. The good news is that the 5 bucks also pays for 3 hours of playtime. So you save a dollar off one hour. ($2/hour)
I just watched Luckyfool roll some B+ zerg at C... looool. He'll post reps. We also played a 2v2 vs some some D players (I am D- and Lucky is C+) and that ended being interesting because Luckyfool got eliminated before me and then we traded places and he 2v1'd them.
Good times.

ya I'm going to call and organize shit with the owner of Netolic - problem is he wants me to actually go down there, and he said nights are better for him but that's bad for me, but I'll not be lazy and get it done next week ... have no fear folks =D

i need a place to stay... david/zack? ^^;
|
whoops double post
|
The place is very hard to find. At the front of 236 there's a small sign that says "PC GAME WORLD" or something definitely not Netolic... Best thing to do is take a right at Markham street if your coming from west or left if your coming from east and park in a lot behind the shopping complex because you actually enter from a door behind and walk up stairs. But yeah turn at Markham Street, there's some animal hospital and across the street from a safeway. Take your first right into a parking lot (parking is easy for this place btw) Like Torenhire said if you see signs for a haircut you know your going the right way... rofl.
Lighting is dark and PC's have basic keyboard and mouse. Some pc's have some basic headsets some don't. I highly recommend bringing your own mouse+keyboard+headphones just to be safe. Monitors are 19'' LCD's (I think lol) It was much nicer playing sc on these than the 22'' widescreens at seoul for me personally. If you want to be hardcore lastshadow style you can bring your own monitor which I'm sure they would have no problem with you setting up. Laptops should be fine too but they will probably still want you to register and log onto whatever pc you set up at.
You can set mouse speed easily with the software they have loaded on the pc's but I couldn't figure out how to specifically turn mouse acceleration boost on/off. Talked to the front desk guy some and he just showed me the speed adjustment thing which changes mouse speed. If you play with mouse accel on or off that could be a possible issue. Something to look into more if possible maybe.
Cord length won't be a problem, pc's are right next to monitor on a level surface and each space has more space which is nice. It's also really nice you can't see the monitor of the pc right next to you which was a problem at seoul. (it was too easy to screen hack if you were playing the guy sitting next to you...) there are nice dividers set up between pc's preventing screen hax.
Travis covered everything else really in his post, he's going to post some pictures of the funky entrance to help... People will get lost though, I had to wander for a bit before I found the place lol.
Overall we agree it's much better than Seoul and totally looking forward to this thing in two weeks!
Xeris u lazy user u should totally schedule a time sometime next week to get out there. If you need a ride from a metro stop I can work something out Thursday Friday or Saturday night would work best for me next week. storrzerg has expressed interest in driving you too so don't let lack of transportation prevent you from checking it out in advance....
Oh and for Travis two replays from last night,
D ranked 2v2, we join the game and I have C+ 1v1 record and travis was playing on controlfreak (a shared account) which has C rank 1v1. Best thing was when I got owned by mutas we just swapped pc's rofl.
And then I played a C ranked 1v1 vs a B+ korean, funny thing was in the chat I saw his record (like 30-6) and I'm like "those are B+'ish stats I gotta play this guy." and ended up being a pretty decent game, after the game we checked his profile on iccup and he was B+ last season...
oh and lastshadow since I know ur reading this, don't forgot my usb extension cable. :p
|
how's about thursday night then, I'll call the dude tonight and see if he can do it then
|
I have class until 3pm then I'm free so anytime after that on Thursday is fine yo.
I can pick you up easily from the vienna metro stop.
Anyone else should feel free to meet up with us if they want as well.

Damn if i could get time off i would def be in. Are there any similar tournys closer to the NY area?
|
OKK..... bad news.
I just called the owner to talk to him and confirm all the details and stuff, and he told me they're closing the LAN center basically at the end of this week.
WHAT THE FUCK????????????????????????? O__________O;;
As of 1.5 weeks ago he was like "ya I'm down to host a LAN", and today they're closing the place down?
So uh... ya...
|
Ridiculously insane news, I mentioned the tournament to the front desk dude 3 days ago and he seemed excited and said nothing of the place closing down. And there were no signs of the place going out of business.
SHIT.
|
|
O_O
i know there are X3O lan centers in the area but i've never been to one and i'm pretty sure they're really expensive compared to $2/hr...
|
What the hell? We were like "lol 4 weeks EPIC SC LAN" and he was like OMG CAN I ENTER!?!?
God damnit.
|
I can't believe this lol I was literally just there and everything seemed fine. No going out of business signs, front desk guys seemed like everything was chill, took my registration fine. You'd think with new signups they'd mention "yeah we're closing down next week yo."
:D
|
yay firebat.
There's no way in hell we're fitting in Seoul PC (I really dislike that place now that I know what a decent LAN center COULD be for 2/hour.) even if we WANTED to go there...I'll take a look around at some places as well and see what we can come up with.
|
I don't think they're going out of business - he told me they're relocating, but he wasn't sure where.

But we're still focked for this LAN.

so cancel the flight or what's happening?
|
OrbitZ told me its 80 bucks to return my money... wtf? andddddddddd find another lan cause my roomie even booked hotel already too t.t
|
yea this fucken horrible --; hotel/flight cancelations now, my ticket is non refundable and it costs 150$ a ticket if i cancel, AND orbitz charges 30$ a ticket, F U C K T H I S S H I T
|
you guys already canceled?
|
"we're relocating" you know how hard it is to set up a LAN?
|
and its not gonna be ready by next fucken weekend
|
someone's house + battlereports = done deal
laughs
|
wow, canceling is gona be a bitch... i already had to pay a cancellation fee for "changing" 6th-8th to 6th-9th... i guess i still have some hope.
|
I'll figure something out by tomorrow and post !

HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION FOR PEOPLE:
-How many of you are capable of moving your computers? Aka, could take them somewhere?
-Does anyone have the equipment/knowhow to set up a network at someones house?
-Would any of you help me clean up this time for fucks sake?
-How much would you hate your hostess if she charged a few bucks for hosting something like this?

If this means i get a chance to see orbs super computer then yes i can help with bringing some cables network gear (wireless router/switches)
|
but honestly, if there is going to be a home lan like this, its not gonna be the same as xeris' lan, just a small replacement imo.
i was thinking of doing a lan too lol
|
I'm just throwing it out there as a suggestion, o.o;
Ideally we'd find another local LAN cafe.
|
im willing to pitch in and go for haemonculus' idea if all else fails... would i be able to crash there?
|
anyone have concrete suggestions on a location ?
|
|
i'd rather not suffocate...

Glad to know that you're so ridiculously selfish. Just between 3 players I know that were going (with me) we lost almost $1,000 the LAN fucking prize and you're talking about not suffocating with sarcasm?
|
If it comes down to suffocating and having a LAN or not having a LAN at all I vote suffocate and have a LAN. At this point with people already having made travel plans we can't really be too picky imo.
If somebody does something at their house they better srsly be ready with the network, cables, having places for pc's. Ppl would have to bring pc's/cables etc etc. Would be a ton more work to host a LAN of this size in a house.
8 people or less can work for a small house LAN but if we're talking over 20 people I can just see so many problems, "WHICH ROUTER/SWITCH ARE YOU CONNECTED TO? I CANT SEE UR GAME SON ZOMGWTF."
I vote Seoul PC at this point. Sure they suck but what other options are there and it's already pretty much a GO for this LAN people already made travel plans. Or has everyone canceled already? God this sucks.
|
Why not look for a place thats not in the DC Area but say maybe atleast an hour or 2 away?

That's why I'm asking if anyone even knows how to set up the routing for something like that, and if so, do they have the equipment? I'm merely volunteering my house. I haven't a clue about how to set up a network able to support 20+ peoples.
And yes people can probably crash at my place regardless of where we stay. You'll be sleeping in the tent room, which has millions of pillows, but no blankets. Bring a sleeping bag or whatnot.
|
seoulpc is fine with me...very ez to find
|
The hard part is getting like 4 or 5 switches and having places for everything and room for pc's. You have some good floorspace for pc setups but we'd have to be able to make sure we have proper length cables so everyone can reach a switch depending on where pc's are set up at, as well as making sure there are enough power strips for stuff to plug in (everyone would have to bring at least a laptop plus some people might bring their own monitors and whatever else) We would also have to make sure that everything is working beforehand network wise (definitely have somebody over to get the setup squared away on a day before the actual LAN)
I can set a network up ezpz beforehand but there are so many unknowns I highly recommending sticking to a lan center...
I still vote Seoul PC over possible Haemonculus house but this isn't my LAN so we let Duran make the decision.
|
wherever we have to go please dont cancel the LAN
|
we need a lan center, to many unknowns to host it at someones house for something as official as this.
Switches and router bugs macs beings stupid people showing up late taking a lot of time to set up
possibly being short on cables power strips ect ect
i mean shit, i've hosted tons of lans at my house, and i know just getting 12+ people same network no problems can be a hassle at times, trying to get 20+ on the same network with 10x the variables. TT
|
it's going to be at seoul pc guys same time same date.
|
Coolio
hopefully they do rates and rope off a section for us
|
Need confirmation from Xeris, he has the prize money.
|
ya it's going to be at seoul pc ... I'm going to call this weekend and hope to get a good group rate, and whatnot.
|
I'll try to keep the smoking to a minimum! Promise!

as long as I don't get some fucking jackass korean chain smokers sitting next to me i'll live

Anyone pass threw or live in GA going? I Sure would like to catch ride and help pay the gas :D
|
Gas is $400 each way for me lol
|
LoL we had 2 guys coming from GA but they canceled cuz they're bums.
|
Or because this is a bum run tournament
|
you are a bum run tournament... actually Netolic is pretty bum run for telling me 1 week before that they're closing down... O_O

they were that close to pulling off the troll of a lifetime, if i were them i wouldn't have told you

Truth, but still find it hard to believe that you kept contact with them because it's pretty common for someone to tell you sooner if you actually call them.
|
I called him 3 times in fact, LuckyFool literally went there last week and there was no word about it =P

the front desk dude seemed super excited when we told them in a couple weeks a bunch of sc nerds were coming for an epic tournament.

Such a dick move but it would've been something to laugh about 2 years down the road.
"Remember that LAN we almost had at Netolic?
"Yeah there was like 30 people there all standing outside a boarded up room... I was pretty sure me, Luckyfool, and Xeris were going to get beat the fuck up."
"Ah, good times.."
|
Xeris is a hero, why he would run bum tournaments! Shit happens last minute, thats the way of the real world. If u read u would notice they have been constantly contacting Netolic. Just because its "common" for some1 to tell you, "hey we're shutting down next week, dont come", doesnt mean their going to tell you. Sounds like they were prolly unsure themselves until just recently that they were closin down.

Tenryu shhhh I'm trying to find somebody to blame for me losing money for a cancellation fee. Usually it's the guy who was/is running it =P

update the OP with new address and info xeris u lazy user!
Also update the confirmed list, Sadist isn't coming anymore, Game isn't coming anymore, is Machine coming still? I know he just went on that IEF trip.
|
|
probably can't come due to emergency, will update as events warrant
|
Op updated with information - players list, reduced entry fee, address of Seoul PC, etc. I'm quite bummed about the fact that I feel like the rug got pulled out from under me. I'm currently going into planning mode to work out the kinks on a LAN that will be as epic as I envisioned this one to be.
|
I really hope I can come for multiple reasons
|
yeah def zepp hope everything is going good 4 u.

We'll need to take pictures early while the sun is out!

yeah I can swing by and pick u up on my way there. You can just bring ur laptop. They will want you to log onto whatever pc u set up at but after that u can just set up the laptop and its fine.
|
There was laptop problems last time, donno if it will work this time.
|
...What sort of laptop problems?
I'm not terribly good with technical terms, but would I unplug the network cable from their tower and plug it into my laptop? Or do I brave the wild unknown of wireless?... I guess they can tell me that when I get there. I'll just bring my laptop and hope I can do it. If not then whatever. If not then 5pool.

Like everything worked got on the network, but could not see games to join or host for people to join

Sucks to hear about the LAN center. And guys, it's unfortunate and all but there's still going to be a LAN so there's no point in cancelling everything - you should stop slamming on Xeris too, it takes quite a lot of work to organize a LAN. He's run a lot of LANs so when he says a LAN center bummed out you can be pretty sure there was nothing he could do about it.

Storr, if your sig prediction is incorrect, you'll have one last chance. If the beta comes out on my birthday, aka the 19th, I'll spare your life. Otherwise I'm going to murder you for giving me false hope.
|
and if it comes out in 2010 you can go kill blizzard too right?
|
I suppose I could try. I'll give it at shot at least.
|
How about this?
I'll host a mini beta party the week or the following week its released?
(I have one good key )
|
I would be shocked to see the sc2 beta come out this year.
|
I have a beta key too... but i need a beta for it to be useful T_T
|
O shit can't wait to play you in beta ^_^
|
Well, it looks like I will probably be able to come to this. ^_^ Also, tentatively bringing a friend, if he doesn't have work that day.
|
sweet always good to have more people
|
I'll be bringing my camera as well. As I said before we need to snag them early while the sun is out or it's gonna be awful trying to get decent pictures in that cave.

I've got fucking "Type A" Flu so I'm not gonna show up.
Type A is the same category as H1N1 (swine flu) and some other crap so either I've got the swine flu or I've got some other nasty R2D2 flu or w/e. So instead of infecting all the awesome nerds that are coming to DC, I'm staying home.
God damnit.

i had H1N1 already so i'm immune
we can build a T1 CAST1E and keep all the weak nerds away from the super germs

get well Travis, u must be pretty sick to call urself out 48 hours in advance.
|
I just went to the docs today, it kinda started on monday-ish and just got worse and worse.
Our company has been throwing the flu around so it doesn't surprise me at all that I caught it, I just wish it had waited until next fucking weekend.
Write a good battle report, Rob, or I'll come sneeze on you or something.

i have played like 4 games of bgh so i'm all ready to make some highly strategic plays you are not gonna want to miss these reps

TORENHIRE WTFFFFFFFFFFFF! FUCKING SWINESSSSSS
|
Torenhire you must still come. You are the life of the party man. We cannot continue without you.
You should be fine by tomorrow!
|
I'll definitely be coming, but my friend is busy, so it'll just be me coming up. See you all tomorrow!
|
Okay so here's the deal.. $10 will likely go for the playing time, and another $10 will go to the prize pool! We're going to be starting precisely at 1pm, so be here before that. I'm going to start preparing the list of players now because I wanna start exactly at 1 :D
|
21 confirmed. If I've missed you - msg me STAT
|
can anyone give 2 people a ride from either north potomac or the dunn loring metro to seoulpc? ;_;
|
|
Anyways, I just wanted to once more how sorry I am about this situation, and I will make up for it, promise!. The deal is this: Netolic was giving me a CRAZY deal, like $100 for 8 hours of play for our entire group (because the dude was really supportive of hosting a SC tourney and he said they don't have much business during the day anyways and I said I would provide all the administration, etc)... this would have allowed me to have a crazy prize pool (about $600+ with a $25 entry fee as I usually do for my LAN events). That coupled with Smuft's $500 was going to make for an absolutely crazy experience.
Obviously, this isn't working out, as I called Netolic 1.5 weeks ago and the owner said they were closing the store down to re-locate... So I feel as if I let people down, especially people that have flown out:
I'm really sorry to Game, Semih (although you probably would have come anyways), JoeKim (same as Semih, you're both awesome), and REALLY sorry to Machine - I can't express in words how sorry I am for Bryce, especially because he literally paid for the IEF trip out of his own pocket in addition to this...
So, I decided that it'd be better to make this LAN with a slightly lighter atmosphere (see the lower entry fee and not-using of Smuft's $500). The reason behind that is because I don't want to spend this sponsored money on such a disappointing place as Seoul PC. In addition, the fact that I'm not getting a special deal here will drastically decrease the prize pool anyways, so it wouldn't have been the same thing.
I will remedy this!
I'm going to plan a LAN - probably in December or January. This will probably be a BYOC, because I'm looking at using a big hall-like space rather than a LAN center.
The benefits of this are: a) not sharing space with chain-smoking fuckers, or fatass WoW players, etc b) we get our own BW space (where I can put up awesome banners and such! c) 100% of entry fee can go to the prize pool d) no motherfucker is gonna cancel shit on me 1 week before the event
The cons: a) it's BYOC b) it's BYOC
I'm going to be working out details and doing some hardcore planning in the next 1-2 weeks, by which time I will make an announcement. I'm also going to look to get actual sponsors for this so I can make it even more awesome. So please stay tuned, I'm going to be trying my absolute best to make up for this failure with something that will be even more awesome.
I feel like I've let quite a few people down, and I'm really sorry and I still feel terrible even though this news hit me over a week ago. Although I'm sure tomorrow will be a ton of fun, I know it's just disappointing because it won't work out the way I wanted. So again, I'm eternally sorry, but I'm going to make up for it!
|
Such a nice guy Xeris. Personally, it could have been held out in the street and I would have been happy with it. I go for fun since the prize money is out of reach. Thanks again for doing this and I will see you guys in roughly 6 hours.
|
Also, anybody gonna be up for some tokin!?!?
|
Time for departure! Packed everything up and I'm leaving now. See you guys there! Hope my car can manage the trip there and back again...

Just got back home - thanks again everyone for coming, turned out to be quite a bit of fun, and there were some amazing games played.
Machine vs Nyoken and Semih vs Gretorp games were quite awesome!!
There will be bigger and better LAN events in the future. LuckyFool upload videos asaply.
|
Just got home as well. Had a great time and am looking forward to the next one. Aside from the screaming cursing Asians everything went great. Seriously going to practice my ass off for the next one. After watching all of those gosus play I was inspired, especially after seeing Joe Kim play on a screen the size of an index card.
Also managed to snag more pictures this go-round but mostly of people playing. Will upload those tomorrow sometime.
|
I should have tried harder to get interviews with everyone. I missed all the top players and Xeris oh well. Xeris even missed the group pic we took lolz the hoster of teh LAN misses his own group photo sadness.
I will upload vids here tomorrow, I did get interviews with some dudes who've been out to previous DC LAN's such as HatchetWound, CaucasianAsian, vAltyR, LordWeird, I also managed to interview JoeKim and n.joy.life and took lots of game footage from random epic matches. I didn't get interviews with the top 8 because they were all playing when I was going around and when they finished mah battery was dead. (yeah I know I fail at life sorry bout that) Should have snagged Machine and Nyoken especially but oh wellz. ;(
Next time it'll be mandatory for everyone kkthx. (and I'll make sure to bring a charged camera lol)
got some footage of tossim vs Nyoken on HBR holy shit that was good stuff. and footage from various points of one of the 30+ minute TvP's that Gretorp and Semih played. (they played like 5 or 6 super long crazy games) among other stuff.
I also have full Nyoken, Semih and myself replay packs. You'll want to see Nyoken and Semih's stuff some of it is really good. My shit is pretty newbie but I played kinda alright at some points I guess. I'm moar motivated to try for B now on iccup that's fo sure.
I will upload all this probably in a blog entry tomorrow.

great pics woot
also nice photo shop on the last group photo
|
Wow great pics, Joe Kim. Glad you took them.

Man I didn't get home until 8 AM this morning. x_x After leaving StorrZerg's house at 3 or 4 PM yesterday, there was a TON of traffic on I-95 (and on a Sunday... wtf?), and I eventually had to pull over at a service area and sleep in the backseat of my car for a few hours cuz I was exhausted. Finally made it home, though... Phew.
That being said, it was still a good time. Always nice meeting up with fellow SC nerds. Much respect to Machine for flying out from Cali; he seemed like a very cool guy. I also got to enjoy the company of StorrZerg, JoeKim, Semih, and Life Saturday night and Sunday morning, all of whom are awesome. I had just met StorrZerg for the first time that day, and he was kind enough to let me spend the night at his house after complaining about being too tired to drive home. Thanks again, Storr!

StorrZerg is pretty baller.

thanks for the lan , duran, ill come to the next if i can, u the man maybe we can eat some hay by the bay, we just may looool

lol Luckyfool's MACRO FACE would scare even Jaedong.
Good times guys, Xeris, if we rent a big space for the next LAN, hit me up for some help setting up / organizing... I dunno if you live local or not but I'd be game to give you a hand (without the swine flu) if you need it.
Glad to hear things went well despite Netolic peacing out on us. Netolic was a baller place, too.

Oh my god... This lan looks like it was sooo much better than the last one. There's no fucking way I'm missing the next one.

there's gonna be another small LAN on December 5th- pm me for more details, we're mainly just looking for locals to meet up during the day for a while and play some fun games no major tournament or prizes planned.
next big event to seriously plan for will be Xeris LAN on Jan 9th.
Hopefully Duran has an update for us soon with that.
|
Definitely *not* a local, but definitely going.
Anybody within a 200 mile radius of the LAN center should seriously contemplate going. It's so fun!
