DC LAN #14
Was thinking about doing an event in Feb but I'm going to skip that and focus on having a bigger one in March with bigger prize pool. Hopefully this will help if any players are considering driving in from a few hours away. I'll do much better promoting this event than the last one so its possible the prize pool also goes up. I know this is far in the future but I wanted to throw a thread up anyway, I don't expect much action here for a month at least, but, save the date!
When: Saturday March 15, 2014 (12PM-10PM)
Where: Monster PC: 7031 Little River Turnpike #13b, Annandale, VA 22003
What:
Two concurrent Starcraft 2 HoTS live tournaments, one tournament open to all players and one for just diamond and below players. Costs $20 to enter one or both tournaments. (IF YOU ARE DIAMOND AND BELOW PLAYING IN BOTH IS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED AND COSTS NOTHING EXTRA)
Spectating is free. (Limited spectating at the LAN center though, no viewing areas other than watching players monitors)
Open tournament (SC2): $500
1st: $250
2nd: $130
3rd: $80
4th: $40
Diamond and below: Prizes TBD (Depends on number of signups)
1st: TBD
2nd: TBD
Format/Rules:
Double Elimination Bracket
For the diamond and below tournament you MUST not have gotten to any league higher than Diamond in HOTS. (I don't care about your WoL career) If I see any career leagues above Diamond in hots you will be instantly disqualified with no refund and if I find you were smurfing or using an alternate account you will be banned for life from all future DC LANS Semih style.
Map Pool:
Alterzim Stronghold
Heavy Rain
Habitation Station
Frost
Polar Night
Daedalus Point
Yeonsu
How to sign up:
Post in this thread with your *BNET AKA* and which events you'll play in (Open, Diamond or both)
Notes:
Please join channel "DCLAN" on sc2 bnet when you arrive at the LAN center as we will use this channel for communication during the event since the LAN center is split into separate rooms.
Unfortunately the LAN center is a bit cramped so there isn't a whole lot of space for people who plan to just spectate the event. You can (and I recommend) bringing your own headset and mouse. Monitors and PC's are provided by the LAN center.
If you have any other questions before the event or during the event please let me know at any time, best way to contact me before the event is PM me here on TL.
If you are willing to volunteer for one of the below positions please let me know, I will need at least 2-3 people dedicated to helping with this, to keep players on schedule and tracking results if you can bring a laptop in order to not take up a tournament PC for entering results and bracket management that would be ideal, please PM me for more details. Also if you can donate anything to the prize pool it's much appreciated. I'm guaranteeing the prize pool, but spreading it out among multiple esports wallets is definitely more ideal for me.

Some important admin differences between this and past LAN'S to keep in mind:
- My start time is 1 hour later but we will be starting PROMPTLY at Noon this time. If you arrive any later than 1PM you WILL be w.o'd in round 1 and have to play from the losers bracket. Please text/msg me if you think you may be running late so I can add you in the bracket on the day of the LAN. (pm me for cell #) we will need to keep to a tight schedule this time because of point two below:
- The LAN center owner is no longer allowing me to use admin access for all people playing in the tournament. I don't think they like some people on PC's for 10+ hours without paying for it in past events. What does this mean? It means you have to pay $10 to the LAN center directly and register an ID number at the LAN center to log on to PC to play. Please arrive early in order to take care of this, especially if you have never registered at the LAN center before. $10 will then have to be paid to me which goes to prize pool.
Still a total cost of $20 for all players but I can't take all $20 of it anymore, sucks but I had no say in this unfortunately.
edit: I'm still in talks to the owner about allowing admin access to those still in the tournament after 5PM, to avoid anyone having to pay more than $10 to the LAN center. (it's $2/hr normal PC use cost) usually we have cut the player pool down quite a bit by then anyway so I will probably have them switch to admin for those who need it when we get close to 5PM.
