not a problem ebcause i see ssbm melee <3

Dwinelle is where I had my first debate tournament. Memories :|.
I will try to come. I don't go to Berkeley, can I register? Is anyone who knows me on TL coming? J/W, because I probably won't know many people.
|
fuck yeah time for me to show off my new skill.
jk i'll get raped.
|
anyone know amtrak price from san diego to berkeley ? might wanna go and stay the weekend with my friends. =O
|
Ok, just checked and I will 90% likely be coming. I will probably be going there next semester too, so I hope you guys can tell me about the campus and stuff too.
|
oh shit prize money. Maybe I should practice and try to get 3rd place.

if you can get to LA:
http://www.megabus.com/us/index.php
ex:
Thurs, Apr 17
- 12:00 PM Depart Los Angeles, Union Station
Arrive Oakland, West Oakland BART Station 6:45 PM 1 seat = $34.00
- 11:30 PM Depart Los Angeles, Union Station
Arrive Oakland, West Oakland BART Station 6:00 AM 1 seat = $34.00
then take the bart directly to downtown berkeley which is extremely fast/cheap and then you can take the bus or walk, not that far
with a quick scan over amtrak's site, i think that amtrak is much, much too expensive/inconvenient
|
I should come, and maybe get lucky!
|
Don't stay at West Oakland Bart very long. Woulda been cool if I had heard about this before I had made plans =/

Props for not succumbing to the shittiness of Brawl.
|
why didn't you guys do this when I was there =/.
|
w00t. I'm totally coming... just to see Yosh rape everyone.
|
yehaaaa, ill be there
also, yosh tells me he hasn't played 1v1 in a long time now, so we'll see what happens :S
|
long time? he played like 430598340958 games ICCUP last season, lol.
|
and i LAN with him every week, so we'll see. 
I think he's one of the smarter players that won't lose much skill even after a hiatus, so, I think he'll still take the win easily.
|
|
|
I might come, seeing as how I live near Berkeley ^^
Just to chill :D So do we just show up and we can get in and everything?

Don't take amtrak... oh god. I took it once, they seriously have about a 1-3 hour delay at each station. I'm not even exaggerating the slightest bit.

LOL!!! ME AND MY BRO SHOULD GO. Repping it up in Danville :D (white people galore town :/ ) Apparently there's a weekly tournament right? Every thursday? My brother's a junior at UC Berkeley and I think he went last thursday.

Rofl, my mom is a teacher in Danville. (Yes, it is a white people city. She's only had 1 black person in her class, ever. And his parents have spinners on their car.)
Do it, go!

Nah, I don't actually live there. My mom teaches there. I live near Berkeley, in another white people town... Orinda. Ever heard of it?
|

Lmao my brother confirms he can take me and he will play SSBM tourney i guess(his terran is only like d+ lol)

Such an epic city!
Except... it's the most boring place ever. What school do you go to in San Ramon?
Oh yeah, and can anybody answer my question, can we just show up, or do we need to sign up or some shit.
|
It's not a white people city, the others are just mud people cities!
|
I'm going to san ramon valley high school.
yeah we gotta sign up in the noon time hours but apparently they also hosted signups right before tournament too last time they did this.
|
any good melee players in the berkeley area?

Meh... I probably won't play anyways. I just got off a few weeks of not playing starcraft, and I'm like 120 apm D+ right now... and I don't really play ssb.

I think he means ssb ^^
|
oh, well iunno then... not into the ssbm scene
edit: gotta bring own computer and monitor and other accessories or just computer + mouse + mousepad + keyboard + headset things?
|
just computer/monitor or laptop /pad/mouse/etc.
|
There're two guys on my floor named elan and amir who used to be freaking good at ssbm. They left their gamecube at home this semester though so they could study better since they used to play all freakin day.
|
hmm dont think I can come , but if you do another one more than a week notice would be awesome, I wanna go OO~
|
see it's events like these that made me wish there was a teamliquid t-shirt. seriously. that pony on white or that shield on blue would rock. how are you gonna represent TL without a t-shirt??!
|
TL PAPER SIGNS :D??
anyway, anyone else going?!
|
I'll tape a TL.net paper sign to the front of me if I go ^^.
Everyone else who's going do the same thing, and someone tell yosh to make a "I'm yosh" sign so I know who he is and I can tell him how awesome he is.
|
I saw David's name on the signup sheet so I'm assuming he's going.
|
phase is a noob. he's gonna get pwned in the face cuz he's too busy trying to draw circles on his fancy multitouch tablet screen
|
Yeah, I'm going for sure. With some friends.
|
Wow, ok, turns out I can't go.
I'm actually pretty upset about it. Let's just say my friend is

Maybe I should attend UC Berkeley next year.
|
you definitely should~! unless you got into a top tier ivy / stanny! if you got into a low ivy like cornell or some shit, go berkeley :D
|
I really hope tournament signups are still possible just before the tournament, because I have sports practice until about 5:30 and I will probably get to Berkeley at 7:00 - 7:30. But if not, I will still just be able to chill and meet some TL ppl lol! Yeah, I'm guessing I'll just use my bro's laptop to play because I don't want to lug around my computer + monitor and all that stuff.
Someone needs to make and bring a TL.net poster... and a video recorder.

If you guys see a tall skinny guy named Edison. Tell him jkillashark says hi.
|
Someone make a TL.net sign! If not, I'll scratch one up in 10 minutes (it'll suck but hey, it'll be something).
God bless my parents and my brother who's a junior at UC Berkeley... 100% sure I'm going (but I may be arriving kinda late, 7:50 or so.

Yay! You just bring the sign and hold it up when you arrive. Then everyone who isn't in TL will think you're crazy, but whatever ^^.
|
Okay, btw is there going to be wires for LAN connection? Because my brother's laptop's wireless recently broke so...
|
starting in two minutes!!
i'll just keep my laptop open with TL.net's news page O_O!!
ez sign np
|
I'ma be there at like 7:30 probably.
|
Lol I don't think I can make it on time to compete cuz I'm meeting w/ my parents xD
Will show up bit late though 
|
|
|
I demand pictures and full media coverage of this event.
Hop to it, Ryug
|
Too bad I didn't look at the thread sooner, I would've came to the lan.
If they have another one, post the news more than 2 days before if possible, so we can get a big group of people.
Pretty good turn out so far though.
|
oh man puerto rican could have come. That woulda been tight.
|
Wow guys, great! I played YOSH!!! The tournament was really fun, met tons of awesome people; Zalfor, finally met him and also blagoonga123, Evanthebouncy <3 and paper and others too. I got 3rd place, undefeated until Yosh. Dang you Yosh!!! Congrats to Zalfor and Yosh for 2nd and 1st respectively. Did you guys like my poster? I made it in 2 minutes during the car ride -_- lol.
Anyways gg's - I got owned by Yosh, he killed an overlord and then I resorted to an all-in that failed miserably, second game I was retarded and 4 pooled and got owned. I think I would have played a much more entertaining and better game had I not 4 pooled. Too nervous about how good he is  Everyone I met was totally awesome and good mannered, ggs.
|
Nice! did you record and are you going to make a commentary?
also you should've told yosh to get ascension done -_-
|
Wow, I actually did! I talked to Yosh about ascension and did the famous 'i dont have time for this shit' in our game. I saved the reps but unfortunately had to use my brother's laptop so my settings were off and I didn't have camtasia - but the games were all pretty unamazing imo. I think Zalfor vs Yosh were pretty cool though.

Rofl, I was standing right over your shoulder when you pulled a drieven. I have some pictures I'm going to upload soon.
|
Haha Nitrogen - I don't think that we acquainted personally, don't believe I shook your hand or anything 
|

Nah, I didn't really say anything. I'm a shy guy in person.
I was like the only white guy there, the one in the black jacket + shirt.
|
Haha, yeah it was full of asians Are you already back in Orinda?
|
On April 19 2008 15:39 Superiorwolf wrote:Haha, yeah it was full of asians Are you already back in Orinda?
Yeah, I left at like 11. I also got a video of you 4 pooling yosh, I'll upload that tomorrow.
Here are the pictures I took:
I didn't take too many
Edit: Btw my camera sucks.
|
Ooh cool pictures! I didn't even see the adrenal glands drawn up there. Good thing someone took pictures, thanks Cool to see again hehe.
Zalfor was wearing glasses when playing?! I didn't even see that :O

Yeah, he drew the adrenal glands too.
|
Man I hope there are more events like these in our area, it was hecka fun. Did you play at all? I played against 3 zergs but one offraced as terran (blagoonga123). Btw zalfor could you send me the yosh vs zalfor reps?
|
I didn't play at all, I don't have a laptop :\
Plus, I suck.
But yeah, it was still hella fun.
I felt so out of place being like the only white person :\
|
too bad vz is my worst matchup, there're always so much more zergs in these tourneys than on iccup :/
|
you should get all these guys to come to a lan over at Euphnet in Sunnyvale, there's a bunch of computers, nice chairs, pc's, screens, snacks, and it's in a small shopping center with Taco Bell and a strip club right next to it.
http://www.euphnet.com
You can see the live web camera that is online all day while the store is open.
|
zalfor was the guy in red right? what was that guy's name o_O
|
|
|
me. zalfor. john zhu.
um, i'll post the reps i guess. I got crushed even after some early leads. I think the fact that he is "yosh" makes him much more fierce than he actually was in retrospect, but his timing is really amazing.
oh yea, and people kept talking about the touchpad skills ... <_<
|
ahah yeah ... your touchpad is amazing O_O
i gotta add you guys on facebook >_>;;
list yur names negrossss
|
john tianqi zhu (i'm on the TL facebook group i think)

O, lol.
And lol@mass carriers in the 4v4 game right before I left.
|
Yeah John was the guy in red, Yosh was the other guy in red.
Man I really shouldn't have 4 pooled, I even screwed that up if you somehow are able to see it in the future. I shoulda played normal or the gay style (den first then slow drop then continue drops while expoing lol but I would probably suck at that too). I was too scared by Yosh!
