Hi Everyone,

So, I know that there's still some lingering disappointment because Ultimate BarCraft was canceled. But, here's another great opportunity to enjoy StarCraft (and a hairless Slasher) with a large group of cool people, even if you don't have a Blizzcon ticket!

A solid group of SC2-focused eSports companies, including EG, OneMoreGame.TV, compLexity, Quantic, and NASL, have teamed up to produce a really cool event, Friday night, at the Hilton Anaheim (right next to the Convention Center). We have enough room for about 1,000 people, and our event will feature a GSL Finals Viewing Party/BarCraft, followed by a live episode of Live on 3, which will featuring Slasher and djWHEAT *both* getting their heads shaved on stage!

The event's free to enter for all ages (although you have to be 21 if you want to drink), and you don't need a Blizzcon pass. Just bring yourself, your friends, your passion for StarCraft, and your desire to make fun of Slasher! Doors open at 8:30 in the Ballroom at the Hilton Anaheim. We hope to see you all there!

For those of you who can't make it to the event, the Live on 3 portion of the party will be streamed live on OneMoreGame.TV, so everyone can watch Slasher and djWHEAT lose their hair . The Lo3 stream will start approximately 15 minutes after the conclusion of the GSL Finals.

Oh wow, looks like a lot of fun!

Is the bar okay for sub-21s as long as they don't drink, or is this for you old people only?

edit: o wat tomorrow
now run into the setting sun, and suffer, but don't mess up your hair.

Barfood can be incredibly delicious! Don't have to drink, man. I highly doubt nerds like us are the pushy frat-boy types anyway.

BarCraft is the Foreigner's answer to the Korean PC Bangs. It can do for StarCraft 2 what PC Bangs done for BW.

We now live at a time where everyone has high speed internet at home and a PC beefy enough to play StarCraft, so PC bangs are not coming back. Without them, the StarCraft community lost a home to congregate around. This is, in my opinion, the reason why BarCraft is spreading like wild-fire. It's not really so much about drinking, but about creating a local social-space and demonstrate a physical presence of our community to the public.

That's how we can get recognition, new sponsors and fresh faces, that's how we grow the scene.


BarCraft has the potential to create three things:
  • Recognition - BarCraft garners mainstream interest like nothing else. To the mainstream world, BarCraft is face that they can observe and try to appreciate, because it creates obvious value. That's why while StarCraft is thirteen years old, it's BarCraft that got it featured on the Wall Street Journal.
  • Rally point - Our community is huge, with over a hundred thousand hardcore audience and probably a magnitude more in casual ones, yet we don't meet up except for the sporaic major and local tournaments. BarCraft gives us a good excuse to finally meetup with fellow nerd ballers in a casual, social setting. Making friends are easier when you already shared interests.
  • Revenue - BarCraft can be developed as a significant new revenue source for the industry, if properly harnessed. It has the potential to be the fund base to jumpstart local competitive scene beyond the "charity work" that had fueled StarCraft in the past. It can also help gather new sponsors, like the "lifestyle" brands that SirScoots keep harping about.


Unfortunately, money always dirties community intiatives. BarCraft will some soul searching.
Thank God and gunrun.

This seems like the right answer. Some people just want to hang out with other people in a local area with the same interest and passion as them.

Its been fairly successful so far.

"which will featuring Slasher and djWHEAT *both* getting their heads shaved on stage!"


Slasher $^@#'ed up Big Time "No Foreigners will win Big Tourneys"

3 Foreigners win 3 Big Tourneys in a Row (And the Tourneys had quite a few Koreans in them at-least two of them)

Its gonna be great watching Slasher lose his hair.

Because he said he would if Idra won in China in response to slasher's bet. Then Idra proceeded to win.

I think in general people look at drinking the wrong way. You shouldn't be looking at it as going somewhere to drink. Drinking should be secondary to the actual purpose. If drinking is your primary purpose then i feel you're doing it wrong.

And i fully understand that people exist who just want to go get smashed. I can't relate to those people anymore. If that's what a Barcraft is to you, well you're missing the point. Focus on the second half of barcraft, not the first. The bar is just a setting.
Although i'm sure the bars appreciate the business, so drink up if that's what floats your boat!

I look forward to this! It's such a neat phenomenon, and i hope it continues onward. The root of it for me is people like to be around like minded people and have fun. A bar is a perfect setting for this. I mean look at the LR threads. I post in those because those are the closest people to me who i can enjoy live SC2 with. If i could go down to the local pub with a few dozen other nerds and yell and cheer and shit, i'd be on that like white on rice. For too long we've been restricted to sharing our passion electronically. Now we can do it IRL. With beer. I think that's almost liberating.

I also appreciate the "for ESPORTS" attitude. I feel it may get carried away at times but the passion is obvious, and the willingness to share it i hope will pay dividends in future. And that's BarCraft. It's not just people sitting behind their computers. It's out in the 'real world' for all to see. If that doesn't open eyes i don't know what will.

For those of us at BlizzCon, I'm pretty disappointed to have to choose between watching the GSL finals live, or being at this event! Argh. The opportunity to watch a live GSL finals may never come again in our entire lives.

I'm guessing they will be either at Blizzcon watching (Nestea) or competing in the finals (Mvp) :-p

Only 4 more years till I can go to one of these things



I thought it was open to all ages regardless? Just that the Bar itself is restricted to those age 21+?(kind of like a restruant).

Anyways can't wait to go! Gonna be bringing my dad along, who doesn't really play but is interested enough to watch tourneys with me from time to time!

And since it got cancelled, this is the replacement. It might be less "good" (which I doubt), but it's better than nothing.

BarCraft is the Foreigner's answer to the Korean PC Bangs. It can do for StarCraft 2 what PC Bangs done for BW.

We now live at a time where everyone has high speed internet at home and a PC beefy enough to play StarCraft, so PC bangs are not coming back. Without them, the StarCraft community lost a home to congregate around. This is, in my opinion, the reason why BarCraft is spreading like wild-fire. It's not really so much about drinking, but about creating a local social-space and demonstrate a physical presence of our community to the public.

That's how we can get recognition, new sponsors and fresh faces, that's how we grow the scene.


BarCraft has the potential to create three things:
  • Recognition - BarCraft garners mainstream interest like nothing else. To the mainstream world, BarCraft is face that they can observe and try to appreciate, because it creates obvious value. That's why while StarCraft is thirteen years old, it's BarCraft that got it featured on the Wall Street Journal.
  • Rally point - Our community is huge, with over a hundred thousand hardcore audience and probably a magnitude more in casual ones, yet we don't meet up except for the sporaic major and local tournaments. BarCraft gives us a good excuse to finally meetup with fellow nerd ballers in a casual, social setting. Making friends are easier when you already shared interests.
  • Revenue - BarCraft can be developed as a significant new revenue source for the industry, if properly harnessed. It has the potential to be the fund base to jumpstart local competitive scene beyond the "charity work" that had fueled StarCraft in the past. It can also help gather new sponsors, like the "lifestyle" brands that SirScoots keep harping about.


Unfortunately, money always dirties community intiatives. BarCraft will some soul searching.

I'll help myself there this time even if you guys forget me. See youuuuu.


Wait, you live in LA? Time to put my stalker hat on.
Thank God and gunrun.

Fuck. I could write an essay based around this single paragraph, explaining not only why SC2 is so popular, but also the difference between Korean and foreigners. Totally using this in my sig

Slasher $^@#'ed up Big Time "No Foreigners will win Big Tourneys"

3 Foreigners win 3 Big Tourneys in a Row (And the Tourneys had quite a few Koreans in them at-least two of them)

Its gonna be great watching Slasher lose his hair.

Technically they werent in a row.. DRG made a combo breaker @IEM NY...

I stopped drinking four years ago, yet this hasnever stopped me from going out. order a soft drink, give the bartender a large tip, and enjoy yourself.

PC bangs were mostly benefitial to training though. BarCraft gatherings are similar to the way a LOT of people watch football, at least in the UK. You don't become any better with the ball but you have lots of fun, socialise, and, to a certain extent, get the live experience. + Show Spoiler +
And also get in fights over a game ^^

How will the parking work?
You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. My sig since 2011. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88

I was there with a friend and it was a lot of fun! Stream issues at the start kinda sucked, but they were mostly fixed, thankfully. Drinks weren't cheap but fuck it, spent like 40-50 bucks to help e-sports! Thanks for throwing it guys, and fuck Slasher!

Trust me, you don't need to drink to have fun at a bar


couldn't disagree more. I find very few things less interesting than a drunk person when I'm not drunk.

What? Messing with drunk people is crazy fun.
