- To organize a monthly (or so) Toronto starcraft 2 gettogether. That way, if you cannot make it for this one, at least you'll know that there's another one coming up next month. So missing one will not be much of a lost. But right now, I cannot really promise anything, as college starts next month and things might get hectic, but we shall see.
- To make new friends! Yes, strangers are just friends you've just never met before. I love having friends and making new friends, and having friends who like the same game as you do is always awesome!
YK Internet Café 5582 Yonge St. It is located just south of Yonge & Finch. Look for the Xerox building (it’s right on Yonge & Finch) which is just north of YK, and Shopper’s Drug Mart which is right next to YK. It is 1 min South from the Finch GO Station if you’re planning on taking public transit.
Bring your own mouse/keyboard if you wish. Bring headphones since they only have speakers. We’ll be meeting at noon to eat lunch somewhere (tbd), start gaming at 1pm, dinner, then you're free to stay for more or go home.
Gobus/GoTrain: $12(or more)+tax (or more depending on distance) (roundtrip) TTC $6 (roundtrip) LAN $3/hr Unfortunately they would not give me a discount. sorry. Food $?
We will have a small/large tournament, depending how many show up. There's no money involve in this. It's only for fun...well, maybe bragging rights. It doesn't matter whether you're in bronze or #1 diamond. It's open to anyone.
really? we just had a brood war lan a few weeks ago, and I kind of liked the system we had going with a lan every term. Anyways I won't be able to make it either way, cottaging that weekend.
P.S. make sure you call ahead and get the 5 hour $10 special from the cafe owner.

Good luck in organizing this!
hey! too bad you can't make it! Well, this is different from BW LAN. I'm just trying something different because i remember than many people ( including myself ) either couldn't make it or didn't want to go because it was not SC2.

Well, if there is lan, I'm in there, put me in, I will be coming pretty sure, it has to be that I cannot change my shift, but that's like imposible, will meet you all there guys. GLHF, btw I'm gonna let my id and character code here so you any of you can add me and play some games before the lan.
Guys, look. Unfortunately I cannot change the date ( i also edited main post ). No offense to anyone who can't make it. Don't hate. There will still be more opportunities in the future anyway. It's not like it's the last one.
But hey! TL does not nominate anyone to be an event planner nor did anyone nomimate me to organize this. I'm just some random guy who decided to take some initiative and took the time to put this together, that's all - You could all have done the same. If anyone wants to organize another SC2 event for the week after or for those who cannot make it, by all means, feel free to do so.
Hey i know i said i could come already but something came up and I cant make it, put me down as a maybe for now might be able to get my work schedule changed.
Next month would be a yes for me (hopefully there will be one ^^), since I'd be going to school in Toronto and people wouldn't suspect me of 'wasting' my time in a PC bang. (Living in Brampton ftl sometimes lol)

Brampton isn't that bad. It's one of the most prosperous cities in Canada atm . Don't get me wrong though, I still want to move out lol.

LOL yeah, at least its not Georgetown. Brampton is a nice place to live, but not a nice place to 'play'. Also, who can boast that theye've got the worst drivers in Ontario? US. So proud.

It's actually a few steps away from Finch Station. So my guess would be subway

Oh you're right, I actually passed by that place before! That makes life easier for me. Who's going through the subway? we can meetup there and walk to the place, it's actually not that far.

I'm going by subway as well as probably everyone else living in Toronto
I will totally attend the next one, but I'm at a cottage of some sort on the weekend planned. Also the weekend after wouldn't work as there is Fan Expo to consider.

The more the merrier, hell you might even find some good teachers/partners there.
Also, How does the computer logins work? like do pay for a computer to become activated or is it through like accounts and whatnot?

You should buy dinner for the winner But at this point unless something goes horribly wrong I'll be there so if you can plz move me to confirmed that'd be awesome :D
you can always try getting a membership card (if you're going to be around the area anyway, it's like 10$ so you can keep the card and comes preloaded with 4-5 hours)... but i don't know if they are going to do that en-mass last minute

I am most likely able to come to the LAN but I might be late cause I gotta meet with someone to buy a CJ Entus shirt. I'm going to feel awkward going to the LAN late and not knowing anyone there :\

I might come. Is anyone else registered for the ZowieGear SC2 Opener? It starts at 2. I'll have to play in it still if I come and I don't know if that'll affect me for the mini-tournament were having. (Though I might get knocked out first round :p )

Whoa where?
EDIT: Nevermind.
I'm probably going to be the guy who's going to wear a small CJ Entus shirt.
Very interested in going. Is the majority going to be competitive players or TL veterans? Do we HAVE to join the tournament if we want to go (can we just watch and meet people to play bnet with)?
I'm a new player just starting to learn how to get better, don't really want to be blown out before I even begin ladder.

As I mentioned in my OP, it's open to anyone. If you come, i'm sure you'll learn a lot, it will be like gosucamp
apm66 did you get the special pricing for groups? And fyi we usually meet in front. Go for korean lunch then play, then winner JF of the small tourney gets free dinner from the host.

No, I couldn't get the special pricing, and no I'm not giving a paying anyone's dinner ( which I already mentioned to you before ). If winner wants free dinner, then everybody could just pitch a dollar.
hey! i live around that area and would definitely be interested. i'm a definite maybe, dunno if i can stay for the whole thing but i'm sure i'll make an appearance!
Sounds cool, I live in Buffalo, ny which is kinda far I wont make it this time but if it turns into a monthly thing ill make an effort to make it out there when I can since my little sister will be going to school in Toronto this year.
My keyboard is an old dell quietkey and has the older end on it, do the computers there support this? I'll be leaving at 6am as I live quite a ways away so looking forward to it. We meet y'all at noon in front of YK? I'll be wearing my oz uniform.

NEVERMIND! looks like I can meet y'all at 12 and eat with you guys.
Ill come later at like 3 or 4 just to watch,considering I haven't played enough last few weeks due to summer classes, and will probably get owned by everyone.
Anyone from the meet wana run some games later this week? Im looking for someone whos on often or to LAN ..well not actually LAN'ing because the feature hasn't been put in yet but you get the point lol playing in person. I'm currently in platinum but working to hit diamond. cc: 632

Also sorry far I yelled around asking whos it was because it was left on my chair and you guys must have been to enthralled in your game to hear me. I saw chiimp with a bag that looked similar and gave it to apm. So you can blame me =D.

yup yup, good thing i have a strong bladder. YK is pretty small + i dont like the place at all. The new place is a lil squished, that's all. If any1 actually lives in the area, we could get tgt next weekend and play 2v2 or something LOL

washroom's not THAT bad. I've been in worse as in there wasn't even a handle for flushing and was a valve you had to turn and all the piping was right above the tank and seemed to be stuffed with straw T_T

Everyone there still has cards with probably a little bit of time on them as well. BONUS ROUND! But if the same amount of people come again we will have to split up because they only have 14 computers with sc2 or something. No place will be able to hold all of us which is unfortunate.
I believe Hitretz knows a place in downtown that can hold 25 ( Sc2 installed ) + byoc
If that is the case, I think that's where we will have to hold any future events from now on, because separating the group is not as fun and too much of a pain in the ass

Downtown sounds good :D Where exactly? If it's the one at college and spadina that's pretty sketch.

Well, this is different from BW LAN. I'm just trying something different because i remember than many people ( including myself ) either couldn't make it or didn't want to go because it was not SC2.
