Alienware is only supporting our SC2 Tournament so no.

However, if the people playing in the BW tourney want to pool money together to create a prize pool that would be okay

Euphnet for sure. Everyone who went the first time is familiar with the venue and what to expect. I really don't see any added benefit of making it BYOC or changing the venue. As for the maps.... Using only the BW remakes shouldn't even be a poll question, they are completely un-tested in competitive play and from what I have seen are extremely imbalanced. That said I don't see any issue with use the better Blizzard maps and throwing a few of the BW remakes into the earlier rounds of the tournament.

Is it possible to BYOC to Euphnet ? I noticed some of the computers on the right side perform much better than the ones in the room / to the left.

PainUser sums up my thoughts on both the venue & BW maps perfectly. Nothing to add there.

Great to hear about the two sponsors, that's fantastic.

If you need any non-art help with the website, I'd be glad to do any thing I can (pretty much any thing with PHP/MySQL/layout/etc).

The only issue with Euphnet is the size (and # of computers present) limits the size of a tournaments/LANs we can hold in the future. With a BYOC we can theoretically support many, many, more people which means bigger sponsors, bigger prize pool, etc.

The next LAN is still being held at Euphnet, we're just exploring options for the future.
