LanETS is alwasy a great events tho, will be a lot of fun for those who can go. 45$ might seems a lot but 45$ is not only for the tournamenet. they give you a place to lan 24 hours for 3 days straight!  Good luck to all who attend ! Yeah, updated the OP with more information so people don't get confused.

paying a 45$ entry fee to win 400$ seems insanely expensive tho

do we need our own sc2 accounts?

Haha I was going to make a thread for this.
I will be there for TF2. Looking forward to seeing some SC2 games for sure.

I'm gonna assume yes.

you might want to add that this is a BYOC event? because that will limit some peoples traveling/hopes of competing :p

well, every other LanETS ive heard about has been, and BYOC + 45$ for a 400$ 1st place is hardly worth traveling any sort of distance, although i heard you can sleep on the floors there so you save cash on hotels/motels.

Nice! That might change my mind about going then! :D
|
in the OP it mentions dorm rooms so would there be like accomodations for those who have paid the entrance fee? Like a decent place to sleep and chill or what?
Thanks for the info~

I was thinking about taking a trip to montreal during my break...
Althought I doubt my girlfriend would be impressed if I said "HEY LET'S GO TO MONTREAL" and I spent 3 days playing starcraft there.

Nice ! nice 12 hour drive . but no biggie

From the looks of their website there is 20 slots for the tournament. 5-8 = $50.00 so you could get your money back at decent odds.
|
it cost 40$ because it is BYOC and it cost a lot money to run a 400 players tournament with all the equipment needed.
I went to 2 ETS lan before and it is always a lot of fun and very well organised.
The prizes will be bigger for their next lan in march because they have always had awsome sponsors.
|
really good news i guess altho i would rather see it have bigger "test prizepool" or however u want to put it lol 
hopefully i will be able to attend but we will see

Yea, there's no reason for all those $50 prizes... for a 45 entry fee prize pool should be like 700/200/100 or something , 400 for 1st is super small for the fee.
