RED BULL LAN IN ORLANDO
INTENSIVE TRAINING WEEKEND TO PREP e-SPORTS ATHLETES FOR THE TOURNAMENT SEASON

Heyo! Day[9] here with a kick ass event announcement.

Red Bull, purveyor of tasty liquid focus, is BACK with the first of five Red Bull LANs in 2012, this time in Orlando on March 16-18. Better still, Red Bull Gaming has invited the Day[9]TV crew to help plan and run the entire SC2 portion of the event. Huzzah!

Given that Day[9]TV is all about being a better gamer, we set about creating a 3 day training curriculum to help the SC2 pros level up their game.

Twelve top pro SC2 gamers from some of the biggest SC2 teams on the planet will unite in Orlando at Full Sail University to practice and prepare for the 2012 tournament season.
Four SC2 invitees will be the “Focus Players” for the event. The LAN will explore their personalities, their personal stories, their strengths and weaknesses, and how they’re training to improve.
Each Focus Player will have a personalized “Challenge” to help him reach his SC2 goals and address gameplay issues.
The remaining eight gamers will be “Training Players.” They’ll help the Focus Players in their Challenges as well as train for their own upcoming tournaments.
The final day will culminate in a mini-tournament to crown the best of the Red Bull LAN: Orlando.

Sick! Can't wait to get to know more about Parting.

edit: assuming at least a bit of background will be given about the team players instead of just the focus players. Still hyped at any opportunity to see more of him though.
