I think I've finally figured everything out!
When: Sunday August 29th (the owner wants to do it on Sunday the 29th) I hope everyone is ok with that
Where: Mike's Gaming Center: 100-32750 George Ferguson Way
Abbotsford, BC V2T 4V6
Price: $5 venue fee
$15 Tournament fee
Schedule:
10:00am Doors open
10:30am Registration starts for Group A of pools
11:30am Group A of pools begins
12:30pm Group B Registration starts for Group B of pools
1:00pm Group A pools should be complete
1:30pm Group B pools begins
4:00pm Round 1 of pools should be complete
5:00 pm Stage 2 begins
7:00 pm 16 man bracket begins
The first round of pools will be split into two 32 man groups (group A and group B). To avoid overcrowding Group A will start 2.5 hours before Group B. That will hopefully clear up a lot of room.
The first round of pools will be 16 groups of 4 with the top 2 moving on
The second stage of the tournament will be eight 4 man Double elimination bracket where the top 2 will move on. All sets are Bo1
The next stage will be a 16 man single elimination tournament to decide the winner. Round of 16 will be Bo1, round of 8 and 4 will be Bo3, and the winner and loser finals will be Bo5
Prizes:
1st place: $575*
2nd place: $285*
3rd place: $65*
4th place: $35*
The prize pool is dependent on attendance. If we fill out all 64 slots then the prize pool will be as listed above. I'm also trying to get a sponsor for prizes.
To register please email me at jordannrg@gmail.com and let me know if you would like to be in Group A or Group B for pools
If you have any questions, feel free to email me at jordannrg@gmail.com

I'm in. For those who are intimidated by the location, don't be. I make the drive many times a week from vancouver to abbotsford. Really easy location.
I could use some fun tourny times. Plus it's literally across the street from me. I'm looking at the sign as I type. ;p
There should be lots of local action but it would be awesome if we could get people from all over greater vancouver to join us there aswell.
|
I'm down as long as it's OK that I'm new to these parts. I live in Coquitlam.
|
i'm interested, i live in vancouver but i could drive out
|
|
|
i'm interested in driving out from vancouver, so i'll keep an eye on the date
|
Seems interesting. I'm in Burnaby, if any of you guys going from Vancouver want to carpool.
I'm curious (Since I haven't been to a lot of local tournaments like this before), how good are the people who show up usually? Like, Pro / Semi-pro, or just your average top ladder players?
|
sweet, i might show up ;d
|
I'm not sure of the skill levels that will show up. This is the first StarCraft tournament i will be hosting. I'm excited to see though!
|
I had phoned down to check at their gaming center and they said they weren't aware of any schedueled tournaments. I would be interested in joining this event!
|
l2sc tourney followed by Anime LAN followed by this followed by PAX!
wow consecutive lans!! Sounds like a busy month for professional gamers in the 604 area!
|
I'd be down for this for sure!
|
I'll be there as soon as u set the date ! :D

Wow! I am really surprised with all the responses. I'm getting very excited for this event! Everything will be much more clear next week with the games release. I will be talking with Mike's gaming center about the details then. As for right now The event will be held on Aug 28th. I hope that is good for everyone.
|
|
|
Just a bit too far. I'm still looking for an Edmonton area tourney.
|
Dammit times like this make me want to live in vancover :/
|
Quite Interested. Will check it out. Triple LAN month is sick.
|
Holy crap, another tourney? Count me in.
DEEP SNIFF* You smell that? an Esport is being born?
|
I'm down for sure. Vancouver LAN then Abotsford LAN, sounds delicious. Now to find a ride...
|
If these tourneys keep up, we're all of us in the lower mainland area going to get to know eachother quite well.
|
didnt realize their were so many TL'rs in the fraser valley. I
lll be their!
|
Im in, also have some people from Kamloops who would go.
|
Do we have any idea what time?
|
I will certainly see if I can come! It is between semesters so it should be ok! I would feel bad about winning ALL the tournaments in the lower mainland though... maybe I will need to tank this one out of courtesy
|
Lower Mainland SC2 scene looks to be shaping up.
|
All those in the Lower Mainland should check out
http://l2sc.net/
The Vancouver SC2 community!
Love to see you all there!
|
I will hopefully have all the information by the middle of the week. I will update the first post as soon as I can!
|

Myself and 3 friends will most likely come.
|
ill most likely be able to come ;P would be nice to get some more details for the LAN but i guess its still a month away :D
|

|
|
|

|

|
OK nice. I can actually schedule off work for that day since I found out so far in advance. Also got a ride. Couldn't go to AE because of fucking work.
|
I didnt go to AE cuz its Bring your own box. f that.
|
If you are thinking of coming please email me. jordannrg@gmail.com. So far only 14 people have registered.
|
AE was only BYOB if you wanted guaranteed practice time before the matches. Sucks for you
|
I'm down not sure of i can get a ride out though.
PM me if anyone in the Port Coquitlam area is looking to carpool.
|
can we get any updates on this on number of registered players, etc. ?

Last i heard there was like 15 or so people registered.
I created a Registration Web page to help with the sign ups about a week ago but kodokan has yet to update this post with it. Ill leave that up to him.
IMO with this happening in 7 days and only so few sign ups... i dont know how well the turn out will be.
|
just registered and another buddy of mine is registering
|
Would love to come up from kelowna but none of my buddies are good nuff yet so it would be a lonely trip, maybe I can convince our local shop to host a tourney here
|
Emailed! I get back in town on the 26th, hopefully I can get back into form in time.
|
I will update you guys in the morning.
|
Man it sucks I live in Surrey 
Wish I can make it out but abby is quite a whiles away without transport!
Have fun
|
crap, my Van's breaks and tire is now broken. hoping i get a ride or fix it
|
Hey, I live in good old Vancouver and if you want a commentator, I'd love to be there to either commentate, or co-commentate with another person.

The tournament and the prize money might not be as big as i hoped, I'm sorry. I guess i didn't advertise this enough. However, I'm sure we will still have an awesome tournament and depending on the size, I may change the format to give everyone a better experience. I hope to see everyone there.
|
All lans start somewhere man, cant expect the first one to be a blow out. The 31 ppl so far IMO is an awsome turn out, and I personally cannot wait to play personally with some players such as Stalife
|
Thanks for the support ^^
|
looking forward to this tournament !
|
I'll come play in this.
This should be a lot of fun.
Put me in group A.

Carpooling w/ Trozz from Kamloops. I don't have an excuse not to.

Zerker from VT?
As a side note, how are the groups working? How many advance from each group? The last lan I went to, I was in the same group as the 2 people I car pooled with and we eliminated each other =(

How does one get out from vancouver to Abbotsford?
Anyone driving out willing to hook me up with a ride!?
|
West coast express run on weekends?
|
lol just for shits and giggles i checked weestjet to see if they offer flights from Vancouver to Abbotsford and if you choose vancouver as your departure you cant choose abbotsford as your arrival. haha
|
It's like an hour drive from vancouver guys... :D

Acid. Check your PM regarding transportation. FYI, I'm Gadwin from VS Gaming Arena and Anime Evolution (I'm also on your friend's list in game).

Sadly, the wait time + boarding time + deplane time > walking to Abbotsford on crutches
|
There are a few Greyhound stations in Vancouver and there's one in Abbotsford, about 3km away from Mike's Gaming Center. so city bus > Greyhound > walk or someone can take trips at certain times with a van from Mike's gaming Center to the Greyhound and back again?
|
hey i'm very interested to play, i can drive out from vancouver
I would prefer group B if thats possible
email is jgreen464@gmail.com add me in-game or email me
|
Hi, I'll be giving a ride to Acidic. Can you put us in Group B, since it will take us longer to get to Abbotsford? My character code is Gadwin699. Thanks.

anyone wanna come pick me up in prince george, bc? hahaha... ='[

If you take the grey hound down, I will pick you up from the station.
|
anyone know if theres any translink busses that goes to abbotsford?
|
I love group format.
What maps will be played in this?
Loser picks next map?
|
We will decide as a group what the 1st map will be and then loser picks.
|
translink doesn't operate in abbotsford..
Did you post the specs on the computers? are we going to be able to bind keys to our mice? and or bring our own peripherals?
|
The specs are: Intel duo core 2.2 ghz proc, 2 gigs of ram (i assume ddr3), and nvidia gt9800 video card
I don't think you will be allowed to install set point
You are allowed to use your mouse, keyboard, headphones, and mouse pad
|
can I bring my own laptop and play ?

I will ask and get back to you.

I decided that I will come. I am driving down from Kamloops if anyone else wants a ride.
Is it fine to sign up here, or do you want an email? I would prefer group B so I dont have to get up too early.

You are signed up in group B!

Can you limit the maps to those used in 1vs1 Ladder? I mean, there are alot of players playing the ICCUP maps now but I'm not very familiar with the ICCUP maps. I thought the map pool used at Anime Evolution was perfect (they were all Beta maps except for Xel'Naga Caverns).
|
The only maps we will use are current ladder maps.
|
@Kodokan
If you're picking people up from Greyhound, I'll be taking a morning one so I should be there about 11:00 AM at the station in between sign-up and starting so I can be set up and ready, hopefully get a chance to check the sign-up list for any big names to look out for.
Posting the arrival time here for anyone else that might need a ride, since it'd be easier to get one trip rather than everyone coming in at different times.
|
@Kodokan
Im going to be doing the casting with Eskimow . Can you remove my registration for playing in this event?
FYI:

|
Well played Stalife. Keep winning tournies and money matches and you'll be able to get that laptop for your girlfriend in no time!
Also, and I'm a biased Goatshow fan, but I liked the Goatrope/Eskimow caster combo best.
|
damnit i just missed this by a day.
is there going to be any other 604 tournies?
|
Lots of fun, sick finals!
Huge thanks to the organizers and Mike's Gaming Center.

That was such a great finals!

Great Tournament. Thank you for all coming out and making this tournament awesome. Thank you too Kill-9, Eskimow, Goat, and the other guy for casting the games.
Super thanks goes out to SCanemone for letting everyone go to his place to view the grand finals.

gonna start on organizing the next one kodo?

Even though I couldn't participate in the tournament it was great to meet BC Sc2 players that aren't in Bronze
FREEloss 804 if anyone wants to keep in touch and play some games.
Looking forward to the next! And thx to Stalif and FireZerg for the epic final.

Did anyone else get sick after the lan? I know me and marth did =(
|
I passed out on the Greyhound if that counts?
Otherwise I made it out pretty good.
That was amazing fun guys, I can't wait to show up for the next tourny that goes on!
Hopefully that'll be in Vancouver though so I won't have to long distance travel.
Stalife was amazing going undefeated through the tourny until FireZerg (Not including the money match of course).
FireZerg had the most insane comeback after getting knocked out first round. Scared Stalife when he won the first Best of 5.
Non-stop thrills.
|
Anyone got replays? I wanna see the first Bo5.
|
Great tourney, glad I could be there, even though I played like complete shit and didn't win a single game. LOL
