Quoted for third confirmation of the truth. i21 was probably the best LAN I have ever attended. I think out of 5 days of gaming, I spent 24 solid hours laughing my face off. Even if you do not take part in the big tournaments, iSeries is such an awesome event to attend with your mates. Just show up, play games, watch some esports, have a drink and have the best weekend ever.

I'd say remove it and put in Shakuras, but that's just my opinion.

I had a few problems with my map pool last night. I will be amending it for the LAN tournament however. All feedback appreciated!

NEWS: Martijn is confirmed as the second LIVE CASTER at the event, alongside JoRoSaR!
TotalBiscuit and Apollo were first put together at an Insomnia event, and I like to think I have a good eye for caster choices. This time we put together two guys that have never casted before, and we are sure they will entertain you all weekend long!
Stream links will come closer to the event, watch this thread!
|
UPDATE: Added the map list for the LAN event, and spoilerified (yes its a word, one I just made up) the online qualifier section now its over, so there is no confusion.
|
8 days, getting pretty pumped for this!

can't wait for this festival... my first proper LAN. After a few visits to London Barcraft I'm interested to see what the difference is going to be like at a main event
Then I'm going to the Dreamhack Summer event. Should be a pretty hectic 30 days!
|
Perhaps this could be added to the calendar?
|
|
|
It's up now but this event needs more love!
|
Casting has begun. Get watching this new caster combo and see what you think. Feel free to blame me if it all goes wrong
|
Is there a bracket for the sc2 tournament somewhere?

A win is a win and DignitasBlinG is a more than worthy winner, don't forget he has taken games from the likes of Polt in other tourneys, he IS a force to be reckoned with :-)
