They wont host a tourney, why don't we all go this Friday for the lockdown and put up money for a tourney on our own while we are there? $10 to get in all night, we can chip in $2.50 each for pizza and $2.50 for a tourney, that's $15 the original planned price.

Either works for me, if we could rent a room thats equivalent in cost or less than versus, thatd be really cool. So w/e works. Mb you could find some more information about that option? One problem with all going for the friday night lockdown, is they fill up fast, and I believe many of you guys would travel here just to get turned down.

I think the sc2 sl community would be better served to wait until after the 2 week down time occurs.

ok guys sorry i have been in Mexico for a week , and i just got back to utah last night and saw everything fell apart. i went down to versus gaming this afternoon and they agreed that we could have a gathering there. it will not be the great tournament that we were planing to have, but at least we can get together. considering the short notice of the changes we WILL have the tournament, but they will not be closing the doors to the public. the pizza is off but the entry fee can be moved to $15 at the door $10 preregistered. the prize pool will be smaller but we will have at least $50 for first place. this will be for the 1v1 tournament. i think it is bo3 format. starting at 230 but we recommend getting there early. this will focus more on playing and having fun all day. if we have enough people there we might have the 2v2 but i doubt there will be a prize pool. i will be collecting the preregistration information. Jasensaint@gmail.com 8016553187 call or text i will need your email and bent ID at least. please get me the info soon because i have to tell versus how many computers to install SC2 on. thanks guys and please come have fun

ok. just stumbled upon this, awesome find. read through all the pages but kind of confused - is there BYOC at versus? also, can we get an update on the front page with: location (address), time (starts) price (pre-register discount or no?) and an updated list of everyone's bnet ID (if people will post them)
thanks guys! This sounds awesome, had no idea of the number of people here that game like this!

I live in the area but won't be going to this.

If you guys are worried about Bnet stability for the tournament, make sure everyone knows about R1CH's hotfix. Should make things run smoother should Blizzard not manage to fix everything by the 29th.

im pretty sure I wont be going unless bnet gets patched, not worth the 2-3 hrs driving (both ways) to play this garbage

It wont get patched, but we will use R1CH's little fix and it will run super smooth.

You have to go Dakine, you started this thread after all

Does anybody have an extra key or two? I have 2 more friends that might be able to come but they don't have keys. If not maybe I can just let them use my account for their tourney games?

Yea... bnet's instability has really sapped my enthusiasm for this game. The hotfix is better than nothing, but the latency is still upwards of around 500ms. I'm assuming blizzard not only implemented UDP, but altered the latency to compensate for the change. Using the hotfix only reverts it back to TCP, the latency is still there zZz.

Well as R1CH said it only makes YOU not lag, it doesn't stop others from lagging the game, but if everybody in the game had the hotfix then it shouldn't lag at all (in theory). So we can try it out. I think it will be fine

I played some 3v3s today with no hotfix and it played fine for the most part, tiny bit of lag for some people in the big battles, but that's 6 armies meeting

Lots of units and effects going on screen at once. So I think it should be very playable this weekend.

so its on saturday. the site says it's $10 for all day pass; is that new info or does that factor into the '$20 at door $15 preregister' where the extra money (5 to 10) goes towards prize pool?

Versus has about 4 "guest keys" that people can use (or least they did last time I talked to them).

it is now $10 for the day we are trying to get the cost as low as possible.
