Hey everyone. @aikepah slung me a link to this thread via twitter. I am one of the organizers of GEEX. So I thought I'd register and shoot you guys an official announcement for the SC2 beta tournament at GEEX 2010.
We are still working on complete details, rules, prizes, etc... but it is going to happen and it's going to be awesome. This is our second year doing GEEX, the first happening in 2008. We had some awesome tournaments and an awesome LAN with about 200 people. This year is going to be even better. We have some really great people organizing the tournaments and it's probably the part I'm most looking forward to at GEEX.
In addition to the SC2 tournaments there will also be tournaments for TF2, CS:S, Trackmania, SSBB, SSF4, Halo and DDR.
I'm excited to see such a large local community getting pumped for this. Make sure to check the website http://geexshow.com for details (as we get them) You can also follow us on twitter @geexshow, check out the fan page on facebook and listen to the podcast http://feeds.feedburner.com/GeexPodcast. The podcast is probably the best consistent stream of information about the event (and other things) but we will update the website as we get details.

I just moved out here, living in Sandy. Always down to meet some fellow TL members!
|
I live within walking distance from Gamerz Funk so the site works for me, lets plan at least 2 weeks in advance if we can so that I can get the ole schedule cleared up. 
|
Appreciate the response Royale. It's great to hear that there are people trying to facilitate an esport scene here in SLC. If we manage to get something together then you and the boys from MediaOne should come out.
Gamerz Funk doesn't open until noon but I plan to give them a call a long with any other viable venue in the SLC area I can find.
|
I know a few people down there that would be willing to go for it. I'll give him the link.
|
Does anybody from the U or the surrounding area want to meet up for just a few minutes, say at the cafe in the basement of the Marriott library? It'd be nice to meet each other IRL and get to know the faces before the LAN.

I'd be up for that. It's also possible to play a few games there in the library lab using a usb device with the game on it. That's how I've been playing lately since my laptop is not capable of getting more than 10 fps.

The GamerzFunk guys are going to be at GEEX this year hosting a HoN tournament as well... for those that are interested. They're good people over there.

I'm leaving Saturday to go home for the summer and wont be here for the LAN, but I'd be down for meeting with some other TL guys in the library at some point in that time window. HOWS ABOUT TONIGHT?
|
I would be down for meeting at the U as well, just finished my last final this morning so I am pretty free time wise.
|
I can meet at the U tomorrow (5/7). Have to finish my last final tonight (I take it on WebCT).
|
If people can't meet up tonight (library closes at 12), I'll be on SC2 almost all night. Little play date eh eh eh? Haven't played in a week because of finals, projects, etc. JoFu.dpr
|
I'm from American Fork as well and my wives and I could be intersted.
|
I'm working tonight, but I'll be able to check TL and run down to Marriott for a few minutes as well.
|
since my semester is over, and i live/work downtown, I probably will not be going to campus tonight for a face to face. but i'll be playing sc2 tonight and we can game and use my teamspeak server (teamspeak3 > skype > mumble > ventrilo for sc2)
|
I feel like shit today but uhmm are you guys meeting up anywhere? I dont have sc2 though 
I live in Taylorsville
|
I'm in the main lab at the Marriot on the second floor, just finished my finals. I plan on being here most of the day if anyone wants to join me. I'm at the southwest corner of the room, computer KCPC-112.
|
I'm feeling pretty shitty myself after my finals. Way tired. Anyway, I can probably head down there in like 45 minutes, Mass. I'll bring my J-top and my 3 wives too.

Hello, I'm McKay. I'm an Oremite, and I'm the tournament director for StarCraft 2 at GEEX. I look forward to seeing all of you guys there.
I've held a few StarCraft parties and tournaments in the past 12 years, and I've even hosted a few (smaller) SC2 LANs in the past couple months, and I'm looking forward to helping out with the one at Geex.
We've got one sponsor who has pledged, but we're looking for some more if you can think of any, let me know. We'll probably be doing a cash pool and some prizes for the top entrants.
The tournament rules are mostly finalized, but if you'd like to give some input, I'd like to hear what you have to say, send me a message and we can talk.
McKay

I'm sensing that the nerdity of this gathering is going cause quite the scene.
I wish I could be there to watch.
McKay, is the tournament going to be single elimination of BO3?
