OLD INFO: "Aight all you SoCal'ers, SoCal LAN II is gonna go down.
Saturday April 5th, @ GG PC - 2308 West Valencia Drive, Fullerton, CA, 92833
Arrival at 10:30 AM, Begin playing at 11:00 AM SHARP
$15
No relaxed bracket this time, arrival time is at 10:30 AM sharp for registration, begin playing at 11:00 AM, if you are late you are automatically moved to the loser's bracket, no question. If late past that round, you may not participate, no excuses.
GG PC is located off Gilbert & Valencia, Fullerton, CA on the South/West side of the intersection. Can't miss it.
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=W Valencia Dr & S Gilbert St, Fullerton, CA 92833&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=39.916234,96.152344&ie=UTF8&z=16&iwloc=addr
It should last about 6 hours long, the overhead expense is estimated around $8 so the extra $7 is going towards a prize.
Come participate no matter what skill level to meet and enjoy hanging with other craft-addicts. The last one was super fun, and is a complete joke compared to the quality of this one, which means it will only be that much better.
Tourney Style: Bracket, and Loser Brackets in Bo3 format, Grand Finals will be a Bo5 if time allows, altered to Bo3 if there is time pressure.
Maps being played are: Bluestorm, Python, Zodiac, Longinus II, Loki II

Nice, I'll check my schedule at work on Monday to see if I can come. I'd say I'm 90% sure that I'll be there.
|
How many people came last time?
|
hum we had around 11-12 , 8 actually played.
|
No California people ? T_T!
|
lol that's literally 10 minutes from my house walking distance ill be there again lol ill try to play this time too :D
YES
|
Yo I just updated the address, there you go
|
Saturday, April 5th, 2008. Sign me up.
PS- I have MX310 and MX518 Logitech Mice (still in boxes) that I might put into prizes if everyone is willing to put a buck or two up for a lotto or something.
|
Hey Queso, you should post this up at GG.net too again.
|
Yeah man for sure. Someone else did that for me last time, I don't remember.... Sick prizes though! We'll probably have around $60-$80 for first prize if we get a minimum of 15 people. Hopefully we can have more, the more people, the bigger the prizes too.
|
yep all you cali people get your asses out to come play.
|
Wish they had some shit like this for Texas.......
|
if i could drive yet, i would definitely come.
give me about 1 1/2 years. T_T
|
Dude where do you live? Cause if people are going, I'm sure if someone is near you they could pick you up.
|
ill try and make this one
|
Im literally half an hour away, but its 3 weeks away; who knows what Ill have planned by then.
|
heh.. my friend's friend owns that place
|
still, it's not your friend.
|
hahaha, Yea queso that was me who made that last time.
|
the # of replies on this is really depressing. T_T
I know there are so many Cali people lurking in the woodworks, stop being pansies and commit to playing some bw.
|
|
Xeris, did you win the UCSD Starcraft tourny last year?
|
i live like 15 mins away, but sc is a waste of life and I should study instead of play. =[
|
Well if someone wants to fly me out there, I live in MN..so ya...
|
I got 3rd. random_korean got 2nd.

Dont know why people bother to make these type of posts in a thread like this. Just cluttering the shit up
Ill see how i feel about going when it comes closer to the event. Im sure in traffic thats like a 2 hour drive for me; [
|
We got some super gay posts thus far, hope this improves. RandomKorean, Semiold is going, see if you can bum with him!
And sizcyp, then I know your friend's friend. Haha, tell your friend's friend's friend's friend's to all come while you're at it.
Machine - You are hardcore, mad props. This should be about 15 minutes less of a drive for you right off the 5 South, and you won't get lost now ;D

I don't think I'll let him forget.

LOL DURAN GONNA GET SQUASHED BY DAY.
|
Now we're up to what, like 5 people who gonna rape me T_T
|
I think my cousin is gonna come, I'll ask him this weekend :D
|
I don't even plan on making top 5 at this point like last time, haha
|
I would love to come, even though I probobly would lose the tourney in the first round lol. I think I'll be able to make it, not sure though. I have one question though, it would be awesome if I could bring my video camera there and document the event if no one minds.
|
|
|
Search tool at its finest.
|
Come fr the free giveaways and/or raffles if nothing else.
|
|
TTT
Where the heck did everybody in California go? I'm gonna send PM's to people that went last time. We only got 8 kids thus far (most of which will pwn the f out of me) but wtf! I know there are more kids than this... Comon, half of Fullerton alone is Korean.
|
|
I'd like to go, but I'll be in UCLA that weekend and I won't have a ride. If any other UCLA people are going and I can hitch a ride with them, that'd be awesome.
|
I don't know how close anybody from LA that is coming lives to UCLA, but hopefully something can work out.
EDIT: More people are adding! Keep it coming!
|
ill be there like last time, i guess, though it's not as close anymore!
|
lol. bum!
sonic - california
|
This line up is looking like rape 7 times over for me
|
United States7488 Posts
Add toopham to the confirmed list, I should be kidnapping him when the time comes, and I'll do my best to do the same for randomKo_Orean.
|
anyone willing to make a stop at USC on their way over? I'd love to go but have no car T_T
|
hum my cousin goes to USC ... !_! I'm not sure if hes coming with me or hes going by himself, I'll find out and let you know if you want.
|
that would be most appreciated, xeris
|
I actually go to UCLA and I'd love to come, but my skill level is way lower than you guys. Still, I'd love to come and just chill, watch some SC, and meet some of you guys.
So if any of you are coming out from the UCLA area, let me know.
|
doesnt matter what the skill level is, there will be plenty of people from all skill levels to give anyone fun games. and its much funner than it may seem (to those of you who havent been to a LAN) to hang out with BW people.
|
I have no doubt it'll be fun. Now anyone want to give me a ride from UCLA?
|
YESSS its gonna be so sick
|
|
How far is UCLA from USC? I know that some other dude from UCLA wants to go and needs a ride as well. If we could coordinate rides, it would work beautifully. This is getting good! Keep 'em coming! I'm gonna talk to the owner really soon and finalize details.

Hey mr Day[9] stop ignoring my PM
|
Man this is exciting. I really hope someone is generous to give me a ride. Should we bring anything?
|
bring money for the registration and bring your keyboard / mouse etc if you want , but I'm sure they have stuff available as well.
|
Sign me up! I'm like 90% sure that I can go. I need a ride though.
|
wherre do you need a ride from?
|
United States7488 Posts
senseGOOD... I think I can give you a ride too.
|
I would love to fly down from Oregon to attend but I doubt I'll have the cash saved up to do that. Who knows? Put me as a NO but if I surprise anybody then so be it. =p
|
plz post the replays from the winners when its over
|
|
|
|
Well, that would be areola apex. But it's still pretty nippish in general

Yeah I was about to bump this! Any brainstorms on how to promote this and grow the list? I still haven't been over to GG.net, because I never go to GG.net, but CM, do you feel up to it?
Also, Xeris can we do anything additional on bwusa?
Blizzard could probably care less so unless somebody knows someone that works there that could help and/or participate, I'm leaving that idea alone.
Anybody own/run a spam bot on b.net? Hahaha, just kidding, that's a pretty east thing to do.
Anyways, ideas?
|
I'll have the BWUSA end covered, it sucks to not get sponsorship for it (DAMN YOU STEELSERIES!!!!!!!) . but should be mass fun and some small prizes.
Anyways, just spread the word to anyone you guys know that live in Cali and wants to play.
|
run a spambot in channel marlboro on west.
|
|
If anyone ever does one in NYC or close by...
|
How far is that from Ventura, CA ? im new to area
|
put this link in your profile when ur on bnet.

Google maps says about roughly 1 hour 45 minutes :/ I don't know how hardcore you are, but I think Machine set the bar last time. 2.5 hours to the wrong place then another 1.5 hours to the right place just for some gaming. Intense.
Also, I updated the times and spoke to the owner, be recruiting for this where you can! So many lazy Californians....
|
|
Aight man... Hope you can, this line up would be sicker than aids if you could make it
|
|
AAAHHHH
I goto harvey mud college:
340 E Foohill Blvd Claremont, CA 91711
anyone wanna give me a ride? My old one cancelled and i'm looking for a new one as we speak ^_^
|
Remember not to party too hard on Friday the 4th. My friend's bday is that night T_T
|
Crap Day, you can't not come! Frick, there are tons of Asians everywhere in CA, tell them to reawaken their roots and come with you.
|
|
Still can't find a ride to Fullerton . Anyone going from around UCLA?
|
why u ain't going dave? -___-;;;;;;
|
fuck david gooooooooo!!!
Izack, you should bring Adam too ^_^!
|
If you don't come you are a pussy.
|
And I have the right to call you a pussy from now on.
|
|
Frick people always drop off right before. Rides for day and centric!
|
damn pansies ~~~
well anyways, it's going to be fun as shit regardless of who shows up, so GET YOUR ASSES THERE to have some fun and play some BW.
Also, we need someone with a camera and stuff to take pictures and whatnot. I think we only had like 2 pictures at hte last one, lol.

as I said earlier I'm bringing a video camera
|
I'll bring my camera again. I'll just send the pictures to you for bwusa or whatevs
|
Hopefully Adam goes online soon. He logs on once in a blue moon so I might not get to him in time. Ummm so I'll probably end up playing but i haven't played in a game in about 9 months so, Yeah. Not making excuses but realize i'm going to be terrible. =]
|
I was never good and I'm putting it together, haha.
|
just a few days left, everyone get pumped!
|
Likely I may come if I wake up early enough on Saturday. Coming from Santa Monica, anyone need a ride?
|
Santa Monica isn't too far from UCLA right? Would you be willing to hook me up?
|
Oh please do Chobo, that would be seriously awesome.
|
Chobo wins a Good Samaritan award for hooking me up with a ride.

What're the maps for this LAN? Were they mentioned already? Can't find them on the thread.
|
We just decided last night. Bluestorm, Python, Zodiac, Longinus II, Loki II
Does anybody live around Claremont? Should only take about 40 mins from there to get to this place, just jam down the 57.
|
I will be there.
Might be able to cast live
|
damn you cali people make me feel so jealous of you!!!!
|
Nice dude! I'm pumped for that, casting would be rad, but still sweet otherwise.
BTW, I updated the OP with some new information about layout, maps, and prizes Charlie, were you really gonna donate hardware?
|

You know it's gonna be sick... Get it covered!
Yo CM can you re-copy/paste the updated post over to GG?

If everyone wants to do a lotto on the mouse. 2 bucks each and we'll pick a number out of a hat or something?
done.
|
We could just lower the total prize money like $26 or whatever
|
And then give the mouse for a placement prize? I kinda wanted to just give everyone a luck chance to win something even if they suck at sc
|
yeah dude for sure, we should do it for 10th place or something. That would be cool, a couple of guys are coming just for fun.
|
my carrier build will own you all. watch out.
|
Alright everybody this is it! I'm bolding the info in the OP! See you tomorrow, 10:30!!!

father, you should have practiced with me zvz O_O!
|

I have 2 projects in front of this but I try to get out as many replays as up on youtube as possible as quickly as possible.
Apologies for the lack of live casting
I brought a laptop with all the software I needed already loaded but when patching into the PC cafe network neither IPX or UPD would let me join games.
I started casting into the ether for about 4 games as I could put a mic into their system to broadcast but not screen capture or record.
Pressed by the combination of really loud background noise and the reality that most likely no one was listening, I packed up and shifted to watching the games while playing inbetween.
Once again special thanks for having me along and props to Quesa and Xeris for a great Tourney.
Also props to Day[9] for winning of course.
|
ya, damn sean too gosu T_T!
|
btw someone needs to upload pics asap~
|
pps , me + my cousin = 2v2 champs , WOOT.
|
Whatever dude, you got guardian'ed.
I'll upload pics later today. So freaking tired. GG's!
gj everybody, sick games played. Mad props to bryce/sean/retsukage/and the SD crew for driving!
No excuses next time, everybody be there!
|
ah sounds like fun, had to work yesterday sucks
|
Was so fun. Gonna practice for next one! Go go pics Quesadilla

here are a couple pictures from my camera, I didn't take that many though and of the few I did, most didn't come out too well. Quesadilla should have better pictures and also our group photos.

Waiting for the last game to finish before lunch break.

Sorry for the bump, just wrote a wrap-up news about it just in case anyone's interested:
Check This News
A little late, but here goes. Two weekends ago, BWUSA.org had it's Second SoCal LAN. There were twice as many players this time, as well as some bigger names coming out to join the party and battle it out for over $100 in prizes.
Some notable names in attendance were: the famous Day[9], Machine[Media], and JoeKim, all looking for some action.
Click, http://www.bwusa.org/tourneys.aspx?id=14]HERE[/url] for a link to the tournament brackets.
After approximately eight hours of gaming, and some pretty good Mexican food during the Lunch Break, the final standings became evident.
It may come as no surprise that Sean "Day[9]" Plott emerged victorious, defeating Machine[Media] in the Grand Final. Taking 3rd place was USA B's JoeKim, and rounding out 4th and 5th were Quesadilla and 50Cal.Xeris, who was not able to defend his title.
Final Standings and Prizes 1. Day[9] - $50 2. Machine[Media] - $25 3. JoeKim - $15 4. Quesadilla - $1 5. 50Cal.Xeris - $0 (T_T!)
Additionally, TL.net member CharlieMurphy brought some hardware that was raffled to all the participants, and the winners were:
JoeKim - winning a webcam Quesadilla - winning a Logitech MX518
Once again, thanks to everyone for coming out and being a part of the LAN, it was a lot of fun! Look forward to an announcement in approximately a month for the epic continuation of the SoCal LAN saga. And finally, congratulations to all the winners!
