Yes! Sorry if it took a while i was looking around for the best deal even tho i knew in the end Gamer's World would be the best place to hold the tournament in and that they would give us the best deal, this morning i went to see them and made a deal with them for August 30-31(Saturday + Sunday). Honestly they're the nicest people ever and the owner told me when he heard WCG was canceled for bw that they were so dissapointed, he was more then happy to help us host the lan and gave us a very nice deal. Positive: Big area, they're giving us all their pc's for the first day (20 pcs), they open at 10am and close at 11pm however if we don't finish the tournament the first day we can continue it the next day free of charge until it takes us to finish it (no timeline), so we don't need to rush the tournament on the first day, we can host it a little bit later and make sure that everyone has enough time to show up and also we can make that LAN vs LAN war against Sweden if you guys want. Location/Direction: The PC room is located at metro(subway in french is metro) Snowdon, right when you leave the metro and come outside you'll see a Mcdonald's at your right and a Tim Hortons to your left, you go to your left and cross the street and walk upwards for 5 seconds and you'll see the PC room (you have to walk on some stairs). Their exact location is 4986 Queen Mary, Montreal Qc. Their phone number is (514) 788-5389, if you have any questions. Website : www.gamersworld.ca Email : info@gamersworld.ca For the people coming from outside Montreal by car I honestly have no idea how to give you directions because i don't drive(like which exit to come out from etc.), i'll look around but if someone knows like which exit they have to come out from and where to turn etc. please post, also im sure if you call them and ask for directions they'll gladly help you. Entrance Fee: Now heres the deal that we made, entrance fee is 25$, the way we calculated is we estimated at least 25 players showing up(minimum, theres probably going to be like 35 players), 25 x 25 gave 625$ total, they'll take 300$ for renting out the whole place for the whole days and for using all the pcs, also for the following days it takes us to finish the tournament, plus if you don't have headphones or something you can give them your medical card or something and they'll give you free headphones for the day. So that leaves us 325$ as the prize pool alone from the entrance fee, take into consideration that we only calculated it for 25 players and this is without the money a few players might put into the prize pool(which they're not forced too at all), the owner also told me there will be alot of players which will be coming for the lan as well(regular players who show up for our lans that arnt known), also alot of the players are bringing their friends so im sure the pool will be fairly big. Im pretty confident that we can easily reach 40 players. Organization/Tournament Style: We will have a round robin to start off the tournament, most likely 4 players per group with 2 players advancing from each group playing bo1's with each player from the group, for the round robin we will have seeds (we'll have 2 strong players per group because if we end up with 4 favorites in the same group it would'nt be really fair and would take away alot of the fun for the final tournament). After the round robin we will have a tournament style bracket(around 16 players most likely) with a WB and LB. Both will be bo3's and the grand final will be a BO7 (WB gets 1-0 lead or if we really wanna start it off equal they can start at 0-0). Maps: Maps are still not picked, this is our tournament, we control every aspect of it and no 1 player will be in charge of picking the maps, we will together as a group make a poll in the following weeks and select the maps, however the fairest and best pool imo is something like Tau + Longi + Python + WCG Mappool, please discuss about the map selection. Also discuss about the LAN vs LAN war vs Sweden if your interested or not (Eme please post if your still going to organise the LAN). Sponsor: I have no idea about this aspect, Xeris is in charge and theres no pressure, if we get anything extra then thats great and if not its totally fine, the way things look tho Xeris posted on tl.net that we might some extra hardware to give out at the LAN, i have no idea about this and you'd have to ask Xeris. Also Xeris they'll be posting the news about the tournament on their site shortly, i know you were asking for that so i told them to post it.

If I do go, I can give people from Whitby and eastward a ride. If you can get to Whitby via car / bus / GO, I'd pick you up at the station and give you a ride. I hope some details start getting filled in soon. I live right in whitby and i might come depending on the my situation when the time comes, i also got a friend that would love to come aswell. I also suggest maybe other games be present? LAN's arent all about one game ya know... Anyways ill see whats going with my friend and try to organize things so we can participate, god knows the next SC lan that will come around here, if ever lol. Cheers! and props for making this event! | ||

It's about a 6 hour drive, I'm going into work tomorrow so I'll check what that weekend looks like. And greg won't be able to go because he doesn't have a passport. | ||
