That looks quite awesome! I was referring to the one in Boulder Colorado at Boulder beer Co. Can't get a beer here to save your life, I've run into a couple cool people but the guy running it is an asshole. I would much rather be watching from home lol

I didn't take roll or anything, but I'd say there were 40-50 in SF a couple hours after it started (I'm sure more came, but that's when I left). Thanks for organizing, and hope there are more in the future!

Representing DC Barcraft, there were probably more that 100+ or so, I will post pics when I get them
Here are my thought about it

To the fine folks that braved Irene and descended on Raleigh, I salute you. Even though you took down the elite of e-sports, you were no match for the Horde from the Far East.

To the adventurous young gentlemen and ladies that showed up at Public Tenley, I was with you. We saw, cried, played, argued and had a wonderful time. Even though in the end we had to witness and admit that the master race of all humanity are the Koreans we had a blast with some Vespene Gas, the Terran, the Zerg, the Protoss, and even some ventured and hit it off with the Mothership.

To the rest, the miserable, the unfortunate, the locked up in the basement watching all alone, I offer you the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Hello, this is your friendly neighbor, fellow reddit lurker, MakaAlbarn. I am sober, biased, and here to promote my community website for the DC Area SCII (like us on Facebook). I will give some of my thoughts, reactions, and rage on the most recent MLG in Raleigh and the awesome environment at Public Tenley.

Lets start with rage, because chances are you will not read the rest of the article. Come on Blizzard, Koreans need to be nerfed! I mean like seriously again? Top six goes to Koreans. Not even Dignitas.Select, who may I add is an American Korean. Nor Huk, the last hope of the foreigners who actually plays in Korea (he is in round of 8 in GSL). Or Sjow, who's name may never be pronounced correctly. None were able to defeat their Korean opponents.

Nonetheless, the crowd at Public Tenley cheered on, for Slayers.Coca or the eventual champion STBomber. It was a great series, both players were showing signs of fatigue with missed micro and macro. Commentators were blabbering some nonsense (we forgive you DAY 9, Husky keep up with your improvement) and of course the lag issues and fail stream. I know MLG will fix those issues, come Orlando.

Public Tenley, you did it again. We love you! I give you DAY 9 ♥. Seriously good job, I hope we can do this again and more often. I must admit, there was a lot of down time and not a lot of room, I feel like the enthusiasm was spot on from the management to the bartender. My only complaint is that we require additional overchairs upstairs!

Special Thanks goes to all the BarCraft organizers and planners, I don't know where we would be without you, well I would probably be locked up in my basement all alone

.

Until next time,

MakaAlbarn

P.S. Pictures will follow soon! Can't wait for Orlando, join us in Annandale for some SCII + Cookout = FUN. Check out the DC Meetup page, itsgosu.com, or dcsc2.com for more details.

Was great to get to meet so many like-minded people!

Here's a few pics taken from my old broken iphone at the Ottawa barcraft before it ran out of batteries. Don't have an actual count, but I'm sure well over 100 people showed up through the day.
First pic is an (empty) thor drop, next to a Colossus (which apparently got nerfed and shrunken for this event) and a creep (which was actually purple, even if you can't tell from the lighting)

Awesome time, even though I think I now understand why marines need a space suit to go on creep... uuugggghhh my head hurts!

Enjoy!

Is it possible that you entered a wormhole and attended this event in an alternative universe? While there were minor things to work on (sound), I thought this event came off quite well. Had a blast myself! And there was beer on every table.

Tallahassee BarCraft at the Tomahawk Bar and Grill was great. At least 30 people there, space started to run out, hopefully we can get more room and TVs next time! The location's food and beer selection (a number of craft brews on tap) was great. Thanks to all who organized it, my wife and I had a great time.
