OOF, I want that black jacket. I bet if we did a fundraiser with those jackets, it'd raise a ton of money.

For everyone who attends, playing or just hanging out. The same jacket will be given to the winner. As far as I know, these are the last two jackets like this.

He was talking shit about Jaeyun.
Also tryna get Matt & Grant to show up.

No, these jackets aren't available anywhere as far as I know. If there is ever anything ASL, GSL, or Freecs related that's purchasable, it would usually be found on either http://en.thesuperplay.com/ or http://en.enish.co.kr/

There is one L and one XXL. Keep in mind these are Korean sizes.

I am going to come if i can even if i cannot participate -_-;;
|
Dang! Won't be bale to compete in this one ;( might be able to stop to say hi and such and free snacks.
But its going to be gooood
|
|
This better not get canceled!
|
I can't wait for this, I'll be in LA and I can't wait to play some games!
|
Yeah are they actually going to go ahead and go through with this considering the news in Seattle?
|

I would say that I wouldn't blame them for canceling, but I also think that considering the demographic of gamers which is younger people, the corona virus is not that big of a threat. Even if someone contracts the virus at this event, the chances that they are severely compromised by it are slim.

You're missing the big point about how Flu, and contagious things work. It's not just the people at the LAN who get affected. It's everyone they interact with too.
That said, i'd still love to have this event and I think if Corona get way more widespread i'd be worried. but lets just be precautious and keep clean.

So, I'm coughing and my friends who were going to house me cancelled. Since both of these are not great, I'm probably not going for the sake of safety to me and others.
GL HF all.

GL HF all. Hope you feel better soon! Battlefy will refund your entry fee after the event. You should get it some time next week.
For anyone unable to attend, we will be giving away two ASL shirts to people in the chat. I believe these are the last of the shirts that we have here. Winners will be contacted through AfreecaTV and announced on this thread.

Highlight Video: + Show Spoiler +
Thanks again to everyone who attended and tuned into the stream. We really appreciate everyone's patience with the login and stream issues at the beginning. We'll do our best to make sure that doesn't happen again.
All prize payouts were sent out yesterday.
Goals for L.A. LAN 3:
- I would like to run it in the Summer, but it might be closer towards the end of Summer. Avoiding conflicts with BSL9, RCG2020, and any other major events is pretty important to us. Other things unrelated to Brood War/Esports may also affect the target date of the next event.
- Of course, a higher prize pool is always in mind. If not from us directly, then through an additional sponsor or possible Matcherino incentives.
- Ambitiously, I would like to add an EU/LATAM qualifier to help support a player to attend.
Thanks again for everyone's support.
Edit: The chatting event winners were seki77 and artofturtle. Please check your inboxes on AfreecaTV!
