I've got myself and probably at least two other people willing to come. Maybe three or four depending on school schedules. | ||

www.iugaming.com The lan is in Bloomington, IN, but I am originally from the Chicago land area, and I know a lot of others going. It's not too far, especially if you live south of Chicago. There is also a find a ride thread if that's what you need. | ||

He told me he would figure out a price tomorrow, because hes interested in playing in it also lol. He also has some regulars who might be interested. Downside is they only have 27 computers. I went in there today and everything looked nice, they have some couches off to the side with a 360 or for chilling. The place looked comfy and was a nice atmosphere. So lets work on a date, I was thinking of a saturday from like 11am to ? lol. Gives people enough time to get there and it wont be too early. Some possible dates are 10/23, 10/30, 11/06, unless people would like to do a friday or sunday. | ||

2)As for the venue, we need to tell the person how many people will show up. I'm suggesting to nGBeast to edit his first post so that it reflects who confirmed that they're going to be there and who can MAYBE be there. | ||

I think we are aiming too high for a tournament with prizes when we don't even know how many people are going to show up; we should start with a low number of people, have some non-tournament meet-ups (at a school, at someone's house, not necessarily at a venue) and if it grows from there, we can move on to a tournament. If you're a low diamond n00b like me, having to pay (even $20) for a tournament where you're going to get roflstomped by very good players you met for the first time, this idea is not as appealing anymore. What other venues are there? How about we start like this -> Post your Battle.net character to play some games online and see what everyone's skill level is, then meet somewhere for some casual games (I'd rather bring my own computer than pay a regular rate at a cyber cafe). Here's my character ID -> Jungleboy#966 | ||

Rent a small-ish hotel convention center? Find some random warehouse for rent that happens to have a nice Internet pipe? Let's head back to that idea and try to find some good solutions for venue, and then we can focus on everything else. For a basic attendance number to work with, it would be 20 minimum, ~40 max, based on what I can see in the thread. Also, I will officially volunteer myself to handle the logistics of getting power/heat/bandwidth for any venue that we find... if we enlist the hive mind here and find a freakin' suitable venue =) | ||

http://www.ignitenetwork.com/ Their site doesn't say SC2 but I know that they have it now. The place is pretty big and the prices are reasonable. I know the suburbs aren't very accessible to alot of younger people in the city, college kids like me. And I don't mean to be rude, but getting TO the city is much easier than getting out of the city, What with the Metra and CTA. Just saying if something goes on here, you should get a big enough crowd. Just my two cents. | ||

I mean I could metra out there, but then what, I don't have a car or anything to get from train station to the LAN. On the other hand suburbs people can easily Metra in, and the CTA to the location very easily. Since it may be BYOC(bring your own computer), I didn't even think you won't have your own car - unless you have a laptop. In any case, how many people are in your situation(no car and want this event to happen downtown?). I have a PC and I will have to drive to get there(city or suburbs), but parking is free (mostly) in the suburbs, while in the city parking is a bi**h. If parking is not a hassle, yea, I can drive downtown. I wouldn't want to Metra in even if I had a laptop. | ||

Yeah the place is pretty big, with a Rockband studio it is pretty cool, also holding this there would provide some other entertainment for people who need a little SC2 break, or if we tourny, get knocked out. | ||

I'd throw down on a prizepool Yes, there are LOTS of high diamonds that are going to play for a prizepool. We lack someone organizing right now. What prizepool are you talking about?On November 20 2010 12:26 teol33 wrote:It sucks to live in such a big city and not have any good lan areas around, except ignite which could house a nice tournament. That's why I was suggesting we start small, non-prizepool, BYOC and meet at a school to play some fun games including 4v4s, 3v3s. Even though there are lots of high diamonds that will compete for money, there are EVEN MORE low diamonds, platinums, etc. that want to have fun at a LAN party without a prizepool. I am very close to making my own thread with this idea in mind and leave this one alone.On November 24 2010 10:13 amazingxkcd wrote:I can get like 15 kids at my school to attend a sc2 lan if there's a prize pool What school? Can we organize this (paid or non-paid, most likely BYOC) at your school? Perhaps as part of a computer/videogames club or standalone? Since you have so many people playing SC2 at your school, you can talk to the administration to get permission, establish some rules (i.e. follow all school regulations, no alcohol etc) and reserve a room with enough internet connections where you could BYOC? It does not necessarily need to be a computer room; I wouldn't want to install SC2 on school computers. | ||

Hello George, Thanks for your communities interest in ignite network! By the sounds of it, and perusing the forum link you sent me, you want to set up your own tournament that is simply hosted in our venue. That being said, this is something we might be interested in. Here is a rundown of our facility and how renting our space for a tournament would work: Half of our facility has 32 PC’s that all run Starcraft 2, the other half has console gaming which leaves no room for a BYOC section. We have a free parking lot that can house up to 30 vehicles, as well as street parking that is also free. For a half facility rental Monday through Thursday for 20+ guests for a total of 10 hours you are looking at an estimated $600. Friday through Sunday would be an estimated $1000. This will give you access to all 32 PC’s including tech support from our staff. If you take a look at our facebook photo albums under “DotA Fire and Ice” You can get an idea of how a previous event looked and felt. If this is not what you had in mind or I didn’t answer your questions sufficiently let me know! Look forward to hearing back from you! Sam Oanta Manager 773-404-7033 www.ignitenetwork.com www.facebook.com/ignitenetwork Edit: 1 hr= $5 (The following prices are with membership - which is free) 3hrs = $12 ($4/hr) 6hrs = $23 ($3.83/hr) 9hrs = $30 ($3.33/hr) 13.5hrs = $42 ($3.11/hr) | ||
