I can't make anything outside of the GTA, but I doubt that would sway any decisions. I do think a Toronto tournament or get together (for BW of course, socialising is for losers) should be in order some time. If so, maybe the Gray Region could be considered? I believe at least 20+ people can get in there, tonnes of nerdy stuff, and from when I went there a few times a couple years ago, the management is very nice. They also had (hopefully have) really low rates. It was like $1.50 an hour or something. | ||

Now what are you doing just right now? Are you a loser because you socialize? Am I? Are all TL.net members deep losers? Thank you.That kind of silly statement tends to demonstrate how deeply you think before posting. | ||

I'll put money in myself so prize pool adds up to ~500$ Maps should be WCG maps i guess since we're kinda making this Lan cuz we have no WCG? obv bo3 double elim lol | ||

But if we're only doing a one day event, we have to start super early, cuz 20 + players and double elim can take VERY long. | ||

"k i went to a few pc rooms near my house to check out the prices to have an idea about the prices (im hoping to get a deal with about 70% of the entrance fee to go in the prize pool so we can have a prize pool of over 1k), within the next 2-4 days im gonna go to the downtown pc rooms to get some information and hopefully make a deal some information about the tournament which i am suggesting as the format, 1. ORGANIZATION: We will be renting out the whole pc room for 1 day so the cost of the players coming from outside doesnt go too high, most likely it'll be a big day from like 9-10am to like 11pm-12am and we'll finish it all in 1 day _____ 2. TOURNEY FORMAT: I never experienced this format of bracket making so i don't know if it will take much time but i think it'll be a good format if we split the players up in groups firstly and players play a bo1 matchs so the top 2-3 players of each group advance and we then host a tournament bracket with the remaining players(this is for time consumption), however the problem with this is the players who will be knocked out in the group stages would feel excluded from the tournament and it would get pretty boring for them so i dont know.. we could do a normal style tourney with everyone in it and have bo1 wb's in the early rounds until like the 2nd or 3rd round and from then on have bo3 wb's, the lb's would be bo1 as usual and the winner of the wb gets a 1-0 lead in the finals (bo5 or bo7, i think bo7 would be better especially if we have time) so basicly the breakdown of the these 2 options are: Option 1: -first group stage, top 2-3 players from each group advance to the tournament style brackets and they play bo3 matchs from the 1st round (wb) and bo1 matchs on the lb, wb bracket winner gets 1-0 start in a bo5 or bo7 final. Option 2: -we start right away from tournament style brackets and have bo1 matchs on the wb for the first 2-3 rounds (because there would be alot of players) and follow it up with bo3 until the wb finals, wb bracket winner gets 1-0 start in a bo5 or bo7 final. we can also do option 2 with a bo3 format for every round in the wb -PLEASE take into consideration also that Emerald has pmed me about having a lan cw, it seems that hed like to host a lan also in the same day as us so afterwards we could have a friendly lan cw vs the swedish players, ofc this would only happen if we have enough time, Option 1 is more efficient time-wise then Option 2 but the second option really lets all the players into the tournament so we they can all have a good time, i personally think starting right off with the tournament styled brackets is best, we can discuss about having the wb's on a bo1 or bo3 format when were at the lan, if we really think we won't have enough time(which i doubt, more then 12 hours is easily enough) we can go ahead with the bo3 wb matchs all the way long ____ 3.PRIZE BREAKDOWN: normal breakdown is good i find, 70% 1st, 20% 2nd, 5% 3rd ____ 4.BRACKET STYLES: seeding players seems pretty bias to the other players i find so i think a randomly drawn bracket selection is fine, unless theres too many players who think otherwise we can also always seed players. _____ 5.ENTRANCE FEE: i think a fee of around 25$-35$ would be reasonable, remember the more the fee is up the bigger the pool is, it's all up to you guys. ____ 6.MAPS: a medium-large sized map pool but we need enough maps for the 1st match of every round so i think a 10 map pool is enough, suggested maps are: Blue Storm, Python, Tau Cross, Longinus, Andromeda, Wuthering, Colesseum, Othello, Peaks, and for the final map we can either go to like an oldschool map like Luna or a strategic map like Monty Hall or something like Troy, i'd go with Luna for the last map. _____ 7.DATE: Weekend Aug. 29 _____ To the players who are taking part in the tournament if you have time please choose and give me your opinion about each topic and do it in a clean + easy fashion i.e: -ORGANIZATION: ok or not ok, if not > why -Tourney Format: selection -Prize Breakdown: ok or not ok, if not > suggestions -Bracket Styles: same as above -Entrance Fee: suggested price -Maps: suggestions of replacement of maps or if you like the pool just say pool is ok -And give your opinions about the cw lan vs Sweden, the way i see this is if we have time and the tourney is going well we can take a small break to host this event. Also if you have any other questions feel free to ask on any of the threads i'll read both threads and answer your questions here and give updates here aswell." | ||

Oh and for the record I never said I was going. I think there was a misunderstanding between me and Fayth. Might come though. ... and don't give me that "he hates me for random reasons" crap, you are the one who started this shit (as meaningless as it is) and u know very well the reasons. | ||

I want to go but it's too far of a drive, I think. How many hours does it take to get from west GTA to wherever the lan is? | ||
