It's time again for another SoCal LAN. The Third installment will be the biggest and best yet - there will be a much larger prize pool, more gamers, a bigger location, and a lot more fun!

Time and Date:
Saturday August 23rd, Starting at 11 AM , finishing... as long as it takes. Ship it when its done (just like blizzard, lol).

Location:
Westminster, California (USA), at 'Howie's Game Shack' Inside Westminster Mall. Click the "Westminster" location for an address and map.

Entrance Fee:
$20 per person entrance fee


http://www.gosugamers.net/starcraft/thread/268956

Prize Pool:
1st. 80% / 2nd. 15% / 3rd. 5%
(Example: 25 people - 275 total pot: 1st. $220 / 2nd. $41 / 3rd. $14

Tournament Format:
Group Stage -> Double Elimination Bracket (actual numbers pending on how many players come)

Who Can Play??:
This tournament is open to ANYONE who shows up on time to play! We can probably accommodate players who arrive up until 12:00, but once the tournament is fully under way we have to have a cut off point.

Map Pool:
The maps for this tournament will be as follows: Longinus, Othello, Blue Storm, Python, and Andromeda.

Any Questions? If you have ANY questions about this LAN, with regards to attending, or whatever you want to know. Please send me a PM !


Good luck & Have fun every body! Tell all your friends and come down to have some fun and good games.

POST IF YOU ARE GONNA COME


Original Post:
Alright guys, CharlieMurphy decided to get the ball rolling and PM me about when the next one would be. To have an honest answer, I have no idea. So when should we have it?

I'm not gonna be available for the next 2 months (until mid-september) because I am getting shoulder surgery , but I would still put the LAN together since it is my homage to TL.

So start posting your name if you are interested in going. We have a guy from Cyber Cafe Planet who found our forums and is interested in hosting this LAN. Any ideas for sponsors warmly welcomed also.
Make a lot of friends. Wear good clothes. Drink good beer. Love a nice girl.

Guys, it's in Southern California, like you know... the greater Los Angeles area. Flying down from Seattle for this would be slightly ridiculous I think. That being said, NorCal needs a LAN of their own. Bay Area like what!

I'll be there if I can get a ride again. Last time was really cool.

I definitely agree on the LAN thing for NorCal though...I'm home for the summer and would love to have something like that. I missed the one at Cal cause I was at UCLA.

EDIT: I'm actually not back at school until August, so if it's before then, I can't come .
Super serious.

If I still lived there, I would totally agree, except I don't anymore... . People of Seattle (or any of the cities near it) we must unite and start our own LAN! :D

www.cybercafeplanet.com its in Huntington Beach

When you sign up you get a free hour with 2 hours purchase (2$/hour). Also if you refer a friend you get a free hour. So we could all sign up referring each other for 4$ each and get 4 hours. Is that enough time?

Also you can buy 5 hours and get 1 free.

PS- I was in there yesterday and I think I remember seeing a sign saying 10 hours for 12 bucks or something. I can re-check it out.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

Well yo, he's at least got to top what we got last time. We had almost 6 hours for $8 + $7 extra for the prize pool, that was definitely pretty decent. If we abused the referral deal + the hour free for 5 hours of gaming, that's like, 6 hours for $6? That would own. Plus we are bringing in a ton of kids and repeat business potential. We have skipped around locations for the last two LAN's, but I'd really like to settle on a consistent venue and I'm sure that other people would as well. Make sure he doesn't have widescreen monitors, kids were tripping out last time ;D

I feel bad for the LA kids/Machine driving from up north, we keep moving the location farther away from them , haha.

I live much closer to the 405 than the 91, so 405 S for this is ownage.

You should make it a few days before or after Blizzcon so I can come. I can only afford 1 plane ticket so if you did have the LAN before or after that'd be really awesome on my part. I'll be flying down from Oregon.
So wait? I'm bad? =(

Yeah you guys suck .

Hahaha...oh well, just as long as there's not widescreen monitors (or if there are, he better have graphics cards that can maintain aspect ratio). That was madness last time.

No, the monitors are legit (CRT 19" or 21" i think). I think I'm gonna go there in a little bit, I'll take some pics with my phone. Its fairly new so its pretty clean too.

That's actually not a bad idea, but then more people from all over might wanna play too. Don't know if there would be enough computers (I think the place has like 40-60ish).

It's actually a freaking sick idea, maybe we can get a huge TL LAN going for all the people that will be in for Blizzcon as well. As for the computer limit, we'll just have to start making a list, first come first serve. I'm pretty sure that guy would be stoked to be completely rented out by serious gamers as opposed to fat dork 12 year olds that hack/scream while playing CS.

Frick I feel so bad for Bryce... Lol everything you won probably paid for like 2/3rds of the gas it took to get there and back. Yeah it definitely can't be too soon. We could plan one in August for the usual CA crowd, then we could plan some super ridiculous huge TL LAN Oct. 9th or 12th or something so all the travelers for Blizzcon can come wreck stuff.

I am from sacramento, but I would bring 3-4 gamers down with me, provided the prizepool was over 150 bux just to cover my gas/food if I won.

Anybody in Norcal wanna get one going near sac, I know three lan centers near sac that would host one of the my cousin owns ...

If you do one in October I will show up. So I'm #1 spot for October SoCal TL.net LAN thing. =p You know what... I'll throw in $20 as a 1st place prize, $10 for 2nd place, and $5 for 3rd place just to get things started. Maybe we can start a pool from this and hope nobody backs out.

Sorry but only one promo at a time. If you sign up and pay for at least 2 hours ($4), you get one hour free. After that, if you buy 5 hours ($10), you get 1 hour free. If you refer a friend, you will get one hour free BUT the promos don't stack. Come on, it's $2 an hour.

Anyway, I'll upload some pics of the place and PCs sometime later today or tomorrow.

By the way, how do you guys plan to stage the event? We're totally new to tournaments. How's the prize structure?

Yeah, a tourney around Blizcon will be awesome. I'm planning to go myself. Can' wait for SC2 and D3. Hopefully they'll give out something cool this year too.

Depending on the amount of people:
a) just a straight double elimination bracket
b) round robin with groups, then a bracket for the winners of the groups


Prize format would be like: 1st : 75% 2nd: 20% 3rd: 5% (of the prize pool)

@ ccp

we got $8 per head for the last LAN and charged $15 buy-in so the extra $7 went towards a prize pool. We were there about 6 hours, and it was pretty dang good (except for the lack of CRT's). So I don't know what that translates into your rates, but if possible we'd like to get a group type rate going for this. At the first LAN we pulled about 13 people, second was about 17, third should be 20+ it seems like. If we are able to put this around Blizzcon, we could easily have 40.

Anyways, let us know! Thanks for the interest thus far

Yes, if you can get us a better rate than the other venue, it would be a very attractive offer

Well, all of our monitors are 20-21" CRTs. I'm a gamer and I just can't stand LCDs at non-native res.
As far as pricing, I'll have to talk to the owners to see if anything can be done. As is, our rate is $10 for 6 hours which is very close to the $8 per head you paid in the past. Maybe we can do something like $10/head for 6 hours + $2 in snack credit (sodas, chips, etc.). I don't know. I'll have to talk to the owners but I think that deal would fly. Either that or we can do $14 for 9 hours. The time does not expire so you guys can come back later to use it.

Here is a picture of the place.

Nice place!

I won't be able to make an August Tournament but I will make the one in October. I'm still willing to put up the Cash and I'll pay on the spot to whoever wins. Now what would happen if I won? Hmmm...
So wait? I'm bad? =(

yea its really clean in there, best PC cafe i've ever been to since DarkStar Comics & Cards. (it does get kinda hot in there though, but it is july so..).

Only problem is you can see people's screens to left and right of you.
[image loading]


If we do sign up for more hours they will stay on your account and if we hold another lan here you won't need to buy as many hours. Its cool too cause it shows you on the desktop how much time you have and have left.

PS- You basically just go down brookhurst to get to and from anahiem convention center (for blizzcon).

I think that the $10 isn't too bad, we just have to be really efficient with our brackets and everything to get completed in 6 hours. Every $ extra is $1 less for the prize pool, but $2 isn't too bad. Have to up the buy-in though.

If there was some way to get something like this to happen in the Southeast that would be so ballin. Every now and then we have a LAN here in Auburn but all my opponents are always D- or just $$$ map players or just 20apm blizz map "omfg the comp is rly good" players...

Sitting at work. Dealing with old people, trying to not hate telling the elderly how to setup electronic devices all day long. But hell, Im off tomorrow ^_^;

When can I get my LighT tryout

FT.aCt) is like dying and I hate tagging along to a decline. Im at like #5 now.

For the hardcoreness, I went to Seoul in 2006 to get my ass kicked in Rd 1 of Courage, then I stayed with Dream.t)BlacK for 3 months and played another and lost Rd 1 again . So a drive to SoCal wouldnt be that bad.

Oh yea, I think their comps don't allow you to save or copy shit from their C:/ drive. (I think it deletes previous users modifications/dl's on every logon, not sure). but anyways we will have to ask them to give us the reps and load the maps into the comps(unless we can find away around it ourselves).

PS- What maps? Python obviously. Not familiar with any new maps what are their names are they balanced?

You're right Charlie. We don't allow modification to our hard drive (for obvious reasons) but we can deploy any map you guys want to deploy. As far as mods go, we'll have to inspect them first so it's best to not have them, but we're flexible.
Also, you can save stuff to your own USB drive and surf the web while playing (if you want to). I know most cybercafes block this but we don't.

As for recording the replays, how do u guys intend to do that? Fraps? If so, I'll have to install it on one or two stations. I assume we'll have a moderator (or two) to watch/record the games? Maybe participate as an observer (using a group of observers ) to watch various parts of the screen? Hot key 8 or 10 of them and instantly zoom to different areas of the map. Everybody ally the observer so his units won't get attacked.

August 23rd sounds pretty good. I'm free that day (although it's not my work day) so I might even be able to compete....yeah...instant elimination on round 1 but we'll see.

replays is an in-game feature in Starcraft

it saves the game as a file, and you use starcraft to open that file to watch the replay

so, one could just save the replays to the usb drive and do whatever one wants with it

Those comps look awesome for Broodwar. Yeah, the replays save directly to the hard drive and usually we save them all, then at the end shove them onto a USB drive. So I don't know how that is going to work out... Each .rep file is < 100k, so they are pretty non-threatening.

So ccp, they reps save to C:/program files/starcraft/maps/replays and then we need to pull them out of each person's comp and load into a USB or ipod or whatever.

@Charlie LOL! That was you?!

Anyway, so we're set. August 23rd. A few of the guys there are interested in joining so how do we handle the sign from non-TL members? I'm sure u guys don't mind taking their money
'm gonna start posting about the tournament in the store so there will be more people wanting to join. You guys don't mind right?

So who's the go-to person/admin for this tournament? Email me at info@cybercafeplanet.com. I need to confirm what we're going to do. What you need from me. When it's gonna happen (time), etc.

Regarding the replays, I don't think there's a problem with saving to that directory but you won't have access to it to pull it out so I'll do that for you.

You can either email me, CharlieMurphy, or Xeris about this, we're all in a position to do whatever we can to throw this thing together. For non-TL members, if you could just let us know how many people additional that we can expect, I think that should be good enough. The more people the better!

I think it would be good to start at noon. We've started around this time in the past and it's worked out pretty well.

I am getting surgery on Thursday, so I don't know if I'd be the best person to contact in the next little while. I'll probably be retarded on drugs so I think CharlieMurphy would be good to work w/ especially since he knows the place too! Hopefully I can make it to the LAN, but I'll help when I can.

Depends how many people sign up here, then that depends on if randoms will show up from ccp too. Also depends what kind of deal we do to for hours/purse.

So far based on current sign ups , it looks like the prize pool will be about..56 (if we each pay like 15 to enter)

edit- with the sign ups now its up to like 80ish i think.

5 hours and 36 minutes for a drive.

Basically Im staying on the I-10 most of the way it appears.

http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=Glendale&1s=AZ&1a=17722 N 79th Ave&1z=85308&2c=Huntington Beach&2s=CA&2a=19026 Brookhurst St.&2z=92646


Plus, I asked my wife if she would mind and she she doesnt, she'd just give me the "stink face" after I got back, whatever that is. I might get a few people to go with me or at least drive me, cause I dont feel like driving there all by myself.

Duran let me stay with you <3

We should be doing it, I think I'm gonna start a thread about it.
Before I do, what seems like a better time to do it? Thursday October 9th? or Sunday October 12th? Both kind of suck for people that are coming from out of town... Blizzcon is on Friday and Saturday which is all the good times.

Lets do a Tourney here in Phoenix.

We'll do a TL Barbeque at my complex. We have 3 huge ass pools, all of them have BBQ's set up with them, and we have alot that you can do also.

The LAN Center is about 15 minues from my place, hotels right next door also, so I could probably put up maybe 2-3 gamers for the night before with Internet service to practice online/offline.

So definitely look into doing this sometime cause I can get the owner of the LAN Center to put up freebies for Monster Drinks/food/etc... plus a huge discount on time if not free.

Regarding the replays, I don't think there's a problem with saving to that directory but you won't have access to it to pull it out so I'll do that for you.



So Saturday Aug.23rd at 12pm?

Markin' my calendar.

I would do another raffle but I don't think I have any more shit to give away.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

I might be bringing between 1-4 individuals, one of which said he would play, the other is the owner of the one LAN Center here that I used too go too. And the other 2 if I can get ahold of them would be TF-Br@D and SuperCondomUser.

Xeris ~ I'll be on all day tomorrow (dont know if you read that on team-light.net) so I can get to know some more of the newer members on the team and play some games.

OK i'll start posting flyers about the event around the LAN and will have a sign-up list for "randoms".
So we're set? Tournament starts August 23rd @ noon.

If you guys know any sponsors or anyone who can provide marketing materials (SC posters, etc.), please get them to contact me (info@cybercafeplanet.com).

I doubt I can play or play well by then, but I'll still go and pay! I'm still excited.
Btw, left hands only sucks. Can we play a 1-handed non-dominant side bracket? F.

Reattach my ligaments to the bone. Tears and stretches and stuff from coming in and out of socket, when it happens once it can happen really easily again and again which it did. I just had weak shoulders to begin with, I have to get this with my left shoulder sometime too :/ I had 2 surgeries on this one because i got a hematoma (blood pooling internally) after the first. Worst pain in my life, like getting broodlinged in the arm. I stayed awake for the second one... Frick. I used many stimpacks.

Anyways, does anybody know if Fry's or MicroCenter or anybody sponsors rad events like this?

I don't think they do, I worked a Fry's for about a month and everyone there played WoW, so even if they did it would be something WoW related.

Little correction. Howies closes at 2am , so we have about 15-16 hours to finish if we really need all that time.

We REALLY want as close to 25 people, or even more as we can get. So if you are around the area, close by, or know people around the area that are interested... stop by!

To tantalize people, here's a group picture we took at the 2nd SoCal LAN:

I'm really thinking about attending even though I'm not that great of a player.
Do players usually bring their own equipment or are the ones on location sufficient?

Yea bring your own stuff. At a cafe just think about it, people abuse the shit plus you aren't used to the size or feel of the keyboards/mice.

PS- Last time I went to howie's they didn't have sc/bw or wc3. They got those games now for sure?

They do for sure, already spoke with their management and everything.

SpiceyChicken, the LAN will be lots of fun regardless of your skill, just hanging out with BW players is fun enough

Diggity and I are also trying to work to see if we can get some kind of live streaming and broadcasting of it.

Yea, they have a bunch of games there but I think if you wanted to play halo (or any other console games you have to rent controllers and headsets and shit).

PS- this place is inside a mall and the foodcourt there is pretty nice (mongolian BBQ ftw).

So thats now 15 with Spicy coming which brings the prize pool up to 165$, there now you guys have incentive to come and the prize pool will rise even higher.

PS- How is the purse going to be divided? 60% first? 30% 2nd, 10% 3rd?

nvm, Xeris spelled it out very nicely here http://www.gosugamers.net/starcraft/thread/268956/

Yeah it sucks but eh. You guys got a good deal. There's no way we can do all day for $9. Heck, I don't know if anybody else can.

Have fun. I might just drop by to check out the event.

Also Can we bring own mouse and keyboard???

Also

what is the total cost of what we would need like would 50$? for each person cover the expenses for the whole day like (cost to enter lan, food and etc.)

Edit: i was thinkign since we gonna be there all day, instead of raffling off the shirts we could have another tourny for them, since there are going to be people that are going to get screwed with the brackets and be out early. just a thought. anyone could think of something else more clever with having another tourny, and have the people that won the money not particpate for the Tshirts, (just an idea)

Too hard to please, no care ever. This is a great deal and decent prizes.

I'm gonna add everybody else! Sorry for the slow updates, I'm still recovering.
Make a lot of friends. Wear good clothes. Drink good beer. Love a nice girl.

I can give Day a ride if you can't Xeris. I'm coming from UCLA so it's not too far out of the way.

Queso, copy Xeris' info from his thread on gg.net:


It's time again for another SoCal LAN. The Third installment will be the biggest and best yet - there will be a much larger prize pool, more gamers, a bigger location, and a lot more fun!

Time and Date:
Saturday August 23rd, Starting at 11 AM , finishing... as long as it takes. Ship it when its done (just like blizzard, lol).

Location:
Westminster, California (USA), at 'Howie's Game Shack' Inside Westminster Mall. Click the "Westminster" location for an address and map.

Entrance Fee:
$20 per person entrance fee


http://www.gosugamers.net/starcraft/thread/268956

Prize Pool:
1st. 80% / 2nd. 15% / 3rd. 5%
(Example: 25 people - 275 total pot: 1st. $220 / 2nd. $41 / 3rd. $14

Tournament Format:

Group Stage -> Double Elimination Bracket (actual numbers pending on how many players come)

Who Can Play??:
This tournament is open to ANYONE who shows up on time to play! We can probably accommodate players who arrive up until 12:00, but once the tournament is fully under way we have to have a cut off point.

Map Pool:
The maps for this tournament will be as follows: Longinus, Othello, Blue Storm, Python, and Andromeda.

Any Questions? If you have ANY questions about this LAN, with regards to attending, or whatever you want to know. Please send me a PM !


Good luck & Have fun every body! Tell all your friends and come down to have some fun and good games.

Isn't the entrance free really $11? The other $9 is just the price of being able to play at the pc cafe all day.

Anyways, You>SeanMills is getting added. MnM, why not join the fun and bring friends? Where ever the heck that picture was taken..


I don't live in CA anymore so going to those lans would be difficult. I used to shuttle people over from Norcal to Socal for those things.

The pic was taken back in '05 at the first SoCal lan that was announced in TL that I knew of. People who didnt know me referred to me as the 'tl girl' o.Oa. The top players were Froz, Cypressman and Evade. And Hovz tried to beat Evade up at the end of the night.

If you guys keep this up in two years, I may show up again. =]

Change the entrance fee. $20 is too rich for my blood.
Please make it $10 or $15. If not, I might be in doubt of going, sorry.

and 3rd/4th should at least get their money back.

and the maps, geebus please no longinus or BS.


Well, I think that we are gonna rework the prize ratios to have 3rd/4th at least get their money back, the curve is a bit steep. The way we have the entrance fee is perfect right now, but I am sure somebody would spot you $5 or something. And the maps, though maybe overplayed, are some of the most balanced and quality match producing maps there are; both some new and old. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the way that this is and has been turning out, so the majority of the details are final...

I think that the prizes should go 1st (60%), 2nd (30%), 3rd (10%), 4th (5%) or something more along those lines. Over half of the prize pool for first place is easily $100+. This is still tentative, but keep in mind the prize has significantly grown from each LAN. Most people are content and we have to appease the majority.

I might not be going now.

Im re-enlisting in the Air-Force so I might be busy either doing my BMT once again, or going through all my MEPS crap.

When it gets closer I'll know more. Just recently some tough shit has happened including losing my job (which will be the kicker if I cant find a new one before the 23rd, no funds to go ) and then the re-enlistment.

Poll: Interested in a 2v2 Tournament?
(Vote): Yes
(Vote): No


I want to gauge interest in concurrently running a 2v2 tournament, maybe a little less official / more fun oriented.

Probably after the group stage is over, and less comps are being used, this will take place. Since we have until 2 AM , might as well use the time we've got.

Anyways, vote .. I want to see how many people are / are not interested in this.

Everyone is welcome to attend, despite skill level.

Its basically like a family get together, where everyone gets together and enjoys theirself, without that one incest redneck type in the family with 10 kids. (You know everyone has at least one in their family somewhere).

You can/should definitely come. Not everyone is going to be gosu, in fact most of the people aside from like 4-5 will be pretty much around that skill level also (as far as I know). Either way, it's going to be a LOT of fun... every LAN I have been to has been awesome, even the first time I went and lost in the first round of winner bracket and loser bracket !

It's fun to play, and watch people better than you play (like watching Day[9] is awesome).

Post something useful, but every one of your posts is in this thread, and it's pretty much spam material. This last one is just retarded. Glad to see that you are excited, but go about it some other way please

I know it's retarded, but don't be so hard :< i mean, it'da been acceptable if you said in lines of "you suck at posting, troll" - it's more direct, honest, but doesnt sound as condensending as "learn to post please"

on other note, add me and myfriend (maybe) zomgzergrush into the lineup

day[9], i'll beat you in the finals or semifinals or non-tourney game that day and it's a PROMISE. better practice! (5pool, 6pool, 7pool, all bets are off. win is a win)

xeris: i'll pick zerg for you and specially train to block gay 2gates (esp. 9/10 gates)

quesadilla: get ready for some HOT pvz (zvp for you) action

machine: you better come because i taught you and you dont remember me >:0 i even have proof on TL.net search.

That makes like |-x--------| amount of sense, but I don't feel too bad.
Anywho, dude I'm gonna have to pull out a luck streak in this tourney like all the others... I haven't played at all because of surgery! Oh well, we'll see... Hope I can pull out 4th place like the other 2 LAN's

I need somebody who will bring a camera and maybe (if possible) a video camera so we can have pictures and video coverage.

if you want to be responsible for this duty, pm me and we can talk about it~


ALSO!

Everybody needs to bring CASH for the $20 entrance fee, which will be paid to Howies first (the $9 that goes to them) - and the rest will go to the prize pool.

I'm hoping for ~24 people, so we're going to be doing 4 groups of 6 round robin into bracket stage (top 2 from each group will be advancing).

Things To Remember

1) This is TOMORROW (SATURDAY AUGUST 23rd). Also remember, we will be starting at 11 AM. So, set your alarms, and make sure you wake up! We don't have computers *reserved* at Howies, so we gotta get there asap when they open and grab about 20 of em (it's a huge place they have like 80-100 comps or something).

2) Remember.. BRING CASH for the entrance fee ($20). $9 goes to Howies to get all-day computer access, the other $11 goes to me so I can steal it.. err... hold onto it for the prize money.

3) You can bring your own stuff (although they have really sweet gear there already - Razer mice, nice keyboards, etc...). Although, they don't have mousepads, so bring one if you want it.

4) Expect to be playing all day... and I'll assume we will take a food break after the group stage before the bracket stage.

5) Did I mention that everyone should be on time? Well ya, don't be late ! If you are too late, and we've already started, then you probably won't get to play T___T!

Don't forget! If you know anybody decently well (including just online friends) and they said that they were going to come, please be sure to kindly remind them about the event. I know how easy it can be to forget things last minute, but do your best!

See you tomorrow ;D

1. Cypress
Second and Third: Day[9] and Deuce

Cypress didn't really win first though. He was the winner of the winner's bracket, but he had to go, so there was no winner of winner's bracket vs winner of loser's bracket. Though to be fair, he would have probably won it if there was anyway.

Day and Deuce were too tired to play for 2nd and 3rd, so they just split the money.

Some good games for sure, was fun. *Howie's kinda sucks, although the guy did hook us up with some free Monster drinks lol.


*Some of the comps couldn't create/host games on bnet.
No comps could go on the internet. (Not able to DL maps, all comps had WCG maps so most of the games were played on Othello, Bluestorm, and Andromeda.)
Couldn't even access anything in windows whatsoever.
Had troubles connecting keyboards/earphones because the computers were on the fucking ceiling, lol?


I had to go to best buy and get a ps/2 - usb converter for 30$, then i returned it, ha.

Good games guys. Had a lot of fun. Howie's was definitely a surprising disappointment, considering their stature in LAN centers. Once again we were relegated to playing on widescreen LCD monitors without proper aspect ratio .

I have some time to fill in more details now. Seventeen of us came, so we did a round robin with four groups. Three groups had 4 players, while the fourth group had 5 players. Two players advance from each group.

The 8 that advanced:
Cypress
Day
Blind
Deuce
Xeris
CharlieMurphy
cowgomoo
CommanderFluffy (aka PBJT)

Not sure if I got the last two players right. We did a round of 8, bo3, double elimination at this point. I don't know about the other players, but I beat Xeris, lost to Cypress, beat Charlie, and was eliminated by Deuce.

Howie's wasn't very good. Widescreen monitors without the option of fixing aspect ratio. Couldn't use a different mouse because you couldn't install drivers. Couldn't surf the web except for the few gaming websites approved by Howie's.

Overall 17 showed up (thought there would be more !! T_T). It was a lot of fun, although there were some annoying problems with the computers, although personally I don't mind playing on a wide screen... I'm so used to it at LAN's by now so I don't care anymore. The only annoying part was not being able to surf the web, otherwise everything was pretty cool IMO, and we got a free case of Monsters (sean you left the last 2 in my cousins car).

Ya, Cypress and Day were fuckin awesome (obv)... but Blind and Deuce were actually very very skilled too. Actually, CowGoMoo was real good, as was PBJT (apparently he's only been playing for a few weeks). Lots of really good players there, it was a shitload of fun.

When I get all the reps, I'll make a rep-pack.

Haha it was so good! 5 pool into 9 pool..... wat?!
...Only to find out you could have won if skipping attack on the gateways. *facepalms through skull*.

Good times though, definitely a success despite the Howie's shortcomings. Their comps aren't that well suited for old games with out-of-game control adjustments. But nevertheless, hanging with chaply-chaps is always good. My game has slid down the cliffs of despair, but it was still good to go and see people. Until next time!

awe sorry guys i had to leave i didnt expect the group stage to last 4 hours T_T. I really wanted to finish the whole thing but eh what can u do. i definatley felt like i coulda gone maybe 3rd or 2nd (since its zvz, and that i only lost to cypress and i played a ton of ppl aside from my group) but hey well never known unless theres gonna be a so cal lan 4, and by that time i would have my drivers license so i could actually stay the whole time.

Well it was awesome meeting all u guys xeris and ez you guys are cool same with Day, ogenki, quesadilla, charlie, (those are the only ppl i really met sorry for leaving whoever out :D ) but i have to say i like his bro more :D (but day is still cool, tasteless just has the best SC humor of all time)

Overall i met some really cool ppl there had a ton of fun and played SC what a great saturday :D. i hope we can all do it again another time with even more people.

Btw Xeris you should invite me to LighT when i finish B on iccup this season (just need 900 points) ( and im dead serious)


Only regret i had was playing pretty crappy vs Cypress but gg's it was all shits and giggles



(and btw if no know else aside from those ppl knew who i was i was in the white T shirt and White Shorts (looking fine i might add) :D)

good night niggas



Edit: someone was taking pics the whole time so lets see those posted on here that would be great

I 5pooled about 3 times and won with it zero times.

PS- I thought the temp was fine. Maybe you guys were just sitting right below the AC or something. Then again I'm always chillin' with a fan on even a 2am.

I thought this was supposed to be on Sunday, so when I checked the thread Saturday night for the address and saw results.... heartbreak.

Sorry if I messed with whoever was organizing this by pulling a no-show.

ya lol.. pretty pimp. I forgot to add, prizes went as follows:

Cypressman - $110
Day[9] / Deuce - $75 (they split it between them).

There was 187 total prizes, that was 185... so someone has the extra $2, lol =D

ALSO, we got a free case of Monster energy drinks from the manager afterwards, pretty leetsauce.

Did anyone else notice the "Boxer" machine in the corner by the back entrance. I guess if you stepped into it before gaming you get mad dropship skills or something.

Oops, sorry about posting in the 10 commandments thread, haha

The event was fun. Howie's did have some interesting limitations but they are really damn cheap right now... $9 for an all day pass, when they are open from 11AM to 2AM? That's insane. Interesting that they didn't give us a bulk discount for bringing them so much business.

The "howie's crowd" was interesting as well. LOTS of young kids. I felt like an old man "trying to be cool" just by being there, lol. Like the old guy that says "led zeppelin is true rock and roll, fuck this new shit!", I felt like none of these kids even knew what starcraft was, and DOTA was the closest thing they've seen to a competitive RTS. Oh, except for that one 5 year old playing SC by himself:

Oops, sorry about posting in the 10 commandments thread, haha

The event was fun. Howie's did have some interesting limitations but they are really damn cheap right now... $9 for an all day pass, when they are open from 11AM to 2AM? That's insane. Interesting that they didn't give us a bulk discount for bringing them so much business.

The "howie's crowd" was interesting as well. LOTS of young kids. I felt like an old man "trying to be cool" just by being there, lol. Like the old guy that says "led zeppelin is true rock and roll, fuck this new shit!", I felt like none of these kids even knew what starcraft was, and DOTA was the closest thing they've seen to a competitive RTS. Oh, except for that one 5 year old playing SC by himself:

lol, kick ass base build


Yea, It was funny at first that chick that worked there was somewhat condescending when I asked her why the b.net wasn't working for SC. Then later after people started playing the tourney she seemed genuinely interested/surprised at skill levels.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

Your posts don't even make sense or have relevance. The LAN is over, why bump? And every other one is a racial comment with no bearing.
Make a lot of friends. Wear good clothes. Drink good beer. Love a nice girl.

Looks like it was a pretty good event. Sorry I couldn't make it. I'd like to see how the pros play SC too.

Anyway, yeah the systems at Howies are restricted but $9/day is freaking cheap.
If you guys are interested, there's always Cybercafe Planet . We can't match $9/day but we can offer:
1) CRT monitors (no fugly non-native resolution scaling and aspect ratio problems).
2) You can plug anything you want into the USB ports
3) You can go online while playing SC (no restriction...except the obvious categories).
4) Knowledgeable admin (me) on site helping you with whatever you need (like download/deploy custom maps, handle session recordings, etc).

BTW, I am going to Blizzcon with a few of my friends (and some of the regulars at CCP). If any of you guys are going and wanna join our group, you're welcomed to do so. We'll meet in the early morning @ CCP on the first day of Blizzcon. I can't wait to play SC2 at Blizzcon and it'd be nice to see some of the pros play SC2.

I saw some unit demos and was blown away by many of them, especially Thor. Freakin' siege tanks with more firepower AND anti-air capabilities. Hot damn!

Just look for the teamliquid t-shirts or signs or whatever. Should be a decent sized grouping around the sc/s2 areas.

Xeris, you ever get the reps and stuff from Howie's guy?
