Can the place accommodate this many people? Only thing you have to pay for is your own computer time. $4 = 1 hour $8 = 3 hours
Spectators are also welcome. Last time we did it there was a spectator's area with plenty of chairs and a big screen TV. Due to the high number of matches taking place, I think only the semi-finals and finals will be played on the big screen. The rest of the time, I think you can just look over your friend's shoulder as long as you don't give away what they're doing.
We had a good number of people attending (30ish?) the previous LAN, both players and spectators alike. We had enough room and plenty of chairs.

Can you park on the opposite side of Northern Blvd?

Thanks for answering the question, Culex.

I will check tomorrow.
I'm okay with the map pool that Phelix posted: Scrap Station, Metalopolis, Blistering Sands, Xel'Naga Caverns, Steppes of War.
Writing up the final rules right now.
Edit: The rules are up. We've decided to keep Lost Temple in the map pool, but not as a starting map.

Can we switch Steppes of War with either Metalopolis or Xel Naga for the Bo1s? Steppes of War is tiny and can be conducive to really gimmicky rushes and stuff, OK in series, but not very good for Bo1s imo.

Still not sure whether or not we're banking on patch 1.1 coming out before Saturday. Assuming that it doesn't come out, Steppes for BO1 will make the tournament as fast as possible. You can always discuss a map change with your first few opponents though.

Yea I would rather have xel naga or metatropolis over steppes
Its one of those maps I thumbs down. Are there any rules on race changing?
|
steppes is kinda preferred to keep the matches quick, but it still has potential to turn into a long exciting game as well, the chances of having longer games on the other maps is much higher which could drag out the tournament a lot longer than last time
u are free to use any race at any time

I guess we have a week to debate over it. I'm not liking ZvP (6 pool) and TvT (after watching Nada and TLO go at it) on the map, but 6pools can be fended off with proper crisis management.
No rules on race changing. Feel free to switch to Terran if you're losing a BO3

lol 6 pool never works unless its against another zerg so you can plant a spinecrwaler
and i am planning to be terran on steppes lol

I think metal is a better map but since I don't have too much time I'd prefer steppes. hehe

I just been to Cybercraft. They have their own sc2 accounts for each machine incase you don't have one(which I assume you already do). Systems seem fine. Steppes of War might be a deal breaker for me. This is just asking terran to win.

Terran has an advantage on practically every map, just learn to deal with it until the patch comes out

True but some moreso than others
And I am dealing with it by switching to terran atleast until the bo3
Oh I bought ear muffs so if people can bring ear bud head phones we might be able to have a commentator for the games
Edit- I say all the zergs switch to terran so we can have hour long TvT games just for pokebunny
|
As zerg, I am very much against the idea of having steppes as a BO1 map.
Metal, Scrap, Xel'Naga, Crossfire(seriously an ownage map), BS, and LT(lolcliffs) would make a decent map pool imo.
