Hope you are all ready for this kickass event, it will all happen on Sunday November 20th, Doors will open at 11:00 A.M this time for more action !
We have been reading every single comment made from the previous event, and here is how it'll work:
Rooms: Due to the large amount of people that we're all expecting for this BarCraft, all three rooms will be open instead of one, to hold up to 1500 people.
Seatings. The blue room will contain a massive amount of seatings for those that will want to sit. We will have an HD projector in that room as well.
Vuugo.com Main Hall. Finally, where world's sickest ambiance lives, the Vuugo.com Main Hall, will have many standing bars, but very few seatings in order to maximize the capacity and keep the same unique ambiance we had previously. Our BarCraft was that crazy because of the good games, but mostly because of our vibe and ambiance. That room will be quite awesome, we've rented a Giant full HD 1080p projector for the screening (see picture[s] below for example). We've also rented CO2 canons to make this event the most epic as possible (See picture below). The 2 screens we had for the last time will still be there, with the walls covered, there won't be any issues with the bricks this time. The Vuugo.com Main Hall will be spectacular.
Evil Geniuses GrandMaster Lair: We are very excited to announce the making of the "GrandMaster Room", that room will have a buffet with fruits & bites, 3 Big HD TVs, Media coverage from a few TV networks, contact with press members & sponsors crew. Tickets for that room will be at 30$, including a free drink. We will have a good amount of seatings in the EG GM Lair. With this ticket you will have access to all 3 rooms. Food will be available in a good quantity, but maybe not enough to fill you up for the entire day. Again, it'll be Fruits, dips, bites & all kinds. Tickets for the Evil Geniuses GrandMaster Lair are SOLD OUT
Attendies. We are expecting 1000 people+ for this event. On November 20th, we're taking BarCraft & eSports to another entire level.
Food. Food/BBQ will still be available with Hot-Dogs, chips & donuts. We will also have coleslaw, ketchup, mustard & relish. We won't be out of stock this time, really didn't know what to expect last time ! You guys were hungry !
Pictures & Video. Professional photos & video will be done, I've rented a crane as well so the camera goes over people's head in the Main Room. Also got a better webcam so our shout out live on MLG streams look a bit more sexy.
SC2 Drinks. StarCraft Drinks Menu will be re-done, send me all suggestions, what you liked or not, Also, if you do not want ice in your drink, simply request it !
TVs. Will also have a few amount of TVs around the venue in the corridors so you know what's going on in the venue, budget will have an effect on the quantity of those.
Hotels: We have a guy driving down from Chicago, he needed an hotel close to the club, I've a corporate deal at Novotel Hotel, it's 15 seconds away of walk from the club, and I've a price at 125$ for a 2 bed room instead of 175$ in case any '' foreigners '' need a room, email me.
We would like to thank Vuugo.com for sponsoring this whole event! Without them, these improvements would not have been possible: support them by visitng their site and considering them as your retailer for all your computer and electronic goods!
In addition, they will also be giving away a lot of great computer gear! Ranging from video cards to small electronics or accessories being passed out to the crowd in a draw or raffle!
Vuugo.com, supporting E-Sports and its audience here at BarCraft Montreal!
We are also very thankful to the Team Evil Geniuses for making the " Evil Geniuses Grand Master Lair " possible, they are once again proving that they are taking a leap forward in bolstering the E-Sports phenomenon.
Please show your tremendous amount of appreciation as the world's biggest BarCraft here in Montreal will be fully supportive of the team and behind each and every one of their players throughout the event!

Hey Marko, for the next one can you make T-shirts for the event. With sponsors, partners and such. Would buy one for sure and sure others would too. For e-sports!

You guys should make a page only for Barcrafs.. would be awesome.
For example, next week we will have barcraft here in Brazil for Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, São Paulo and Belo Horizonte. I dont think they will be as big as the Montreal one, but anyway, im giving a suggestion. Perhaps there is a thread for announces of barcrafts already so sry about that

Wow nice to see this one growing even more! If I lived any where remotely close to Montreal I would try to get into this barcraft. Good luck hosting another successful barcraft.
Wow damn. I'm heading to Montreal this weekend with my school just by coincidence but I doubt we're staying long enough for me to attend this....it's a 6+ hour drive back to Waterloo.

And goddamn too much good stuff from the sponsors. I can't friggin believe it.

if its byoc, i might ome bringing my laptop but not sure if itll be worth it
Some people bring their laptops, but we mostly don't really play because the school's internet sucks balls. So we end up watching streams and just joking around, it's pretty light and fun, nothing serious. If you bring replays and shit, we'll analyze and stuff, etc.
lmao I know I know but I'm in now well endowed enough to have my own courier chicken messenger boy. I will have to play that role myself and I was curious if bringing a friend (co-messenger boy) to watch a stream for a bit :D And didn't concordia get a new internet connection? my brother was downloading at 3mb/s yesterday evening at concordia :D besides the point... I'll try get my ass there fo some gaddang tickets, mkay

Yep, bring who you want, it's not exclusive.
It still sucks, it just depends the location -__________________________- and you can't access the internet unless you are a student which is kinda annoying
I'm trying to get authorization to come film some footage, that could be used either in the TL documentary or the other one that got Kickstarted. TdL or anyone, can you let me know if I can bring this kit?
This is me during the zombie walk, working on making promotional material for next year.

Hells yeah you can come. When at the door, ask for Charles!
Hey guys, this is Torte de Lini. I was the tired guy always going behind the big screen (brown sweater).
Thanks a lot for attending this event, it was a huge success, great prizes, great crowd, great ambiance and atmosphere. Had the time of my life and to be truly honest: I was ecstatic and happy to see you all have come. Made a lot of new friends (production crew are just awesome, a lot from [LAN] ETS: big hello to them!)!, met up with some old friends (and an even older one from my old high-school, oh shit!) and overall had a blast.
Had a really rushed start (8:00 to 10:00 was just hectic setting up), but the end results was just wild and totally worth it. I'm fucking tired as hell but giggly! Vespene Gas still the best and I can't quite recall the bartender's name, but the one on the right bar-corner made the best version of them all [I tried them all]!
Big thanks to Vuugo.com, if you didn't meet their representatives, you should, they were genuine, great and a pleasure to get acquainted with.
Once again, thanks a lot guys! Interviews and video should be released sometime in the future. Pretty sure Marko has his own thing to say too! Be on the lookout for more Montreal events and stuff (hopefully I can organize or contribute to each of them additionally!)
It was really really amazing guys, can't wait for the next one. Thanks to everyone who helped with the organization and big thanks to Marco and Vuugo.com for my HD6970 XD.
Thanks for such an awesome event. I convinced my company (pcmall) to have an outing there, and even though most of us are married, in our 30's and 40's and have never played starcraft we still all had a blast. Can't wait for the next one!
sad i wasnt feeling well for the whole afternoon. But i had a blast nonetheless best barcraft yo thanks to MarKo and props to Torte too and Cyberactiv dudes. and thanks Vuugo
You know it was a great event when you've lost your voice the next morning! Props as always, it was killer this event once again! I'm lining up for round 3 that's for sure!

Hey guys, Concordia University's The Link wrote an article about us! Give them some love, pick up their issue! (yeah there are some errors lol, "turn-based" haha)
edit: fuck, can't believe he quoted the "no friends" part hahahaha, boy do I look like a fuck now ha! (long-story short, CEGEP was my first English school, so I was adjusting in a way and hated everyone there)
double-edit: how did they get the number 3,000 of the Vuugo sponsorship? o_____o I don't even know if that's true.

I think this would be an awesome opportunity to have a Starcraft 2 tournament at the same time. Since the 1234 crew seems to have the people and the skills, maybe it'd be worth looking into?
Note, They're doing a beta conference in 2012,and the "real" one is scheduled for 2013.
