UPDATE: We would like to make this party into a charity event. To that end, the $5 admission fee per person will be donated by Eudemonia to Red Cross of Japan.
We will also set up a donation pot for partygoers to throw dollah bills into, if you are willing and able. Let's mobilize the esports community to do some good. =)
I am in the process of pulling together some kind of tourney or showmatch with a pot that businesses/people can donate to; the winner of the tourney/showmatch/thing will get to decide which charity the pot goes to. Keep an eye on this thread for details.
Thank you for your support, all. Let's have a great time on Friday, and do whatever little bit each of us can for the people halfway across the world from us. Yeah!
Original post below:
60+ people showed for our last one!! Don't watch the GSL Code S finals alone at home... come gather and stay up all night with tons of other local Bay Area esports fans!!! Are you in the San Francisco general bay area? Then DON'T MISS IT!!
WHAT:
A Finals watching party with optional LAN party!
Watch the Code S finals live on two projectors. Stay to play!
WHERE:
Eudemonia
2154 University Ave, Berkeley CA 94704
Very close to Downtown Berkeley BART
http://www.eudemonia.net
WHEN:
The evening of Friday, March 18, 2010. Festivities will officially begin at Eudemonia at 10pm on March 18, and the finals are supposed to start at 11pm our time.
- The show is scheduled to begin at 3pm on Saturday in Korea time. http://www.gomtv.net/2011gslsponsors2/schedule/
- That is 11pm on Friday night here in California. http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/converted.html?month=3&day=19&year=2011&hour=15&min=0&sec=0&p1=235&p2=224
HOW MUCH:
- $5 to get in
- OR.... The Package for $20, which gets you in the door, plus two fridge drinks, two slices of pizza, and a computer pass that allows you to play on our computers as much as you want from 10pm to 8am =D
WTF IS EUDEMONIA?!
Also know affectionately as "Eudo", Eudemonia is a retail store very close to the UC Berkeley campus. We're a LAN center, and we also sell board games and Magic singles/do tournaments. We have ~30 computer stations and 5 xbox360s.
Right now, we're not set up for BYOC, unfortunately. But if enough people request it, we will be forced to listen, so if that's something you'd be interested, definitely leave us feedback.

I'm using Challonge because you don't have to register for an account to sign yourself up.
- We'll play the matches online on bnet in a furious frenzy the two days before the event.
- Finals will be played live at Eudemonia if everything works out. HD and/or moletrap and/or peanut and/or local casters, want to cast it???!!! PM me =D
- Prizes for the "Code S" tourney will be stuff like free entry to the LAN party. Prizes for the "Code A" tourney are TBD, lol.
Show-matches vs. Toronto ... and hopefully other cities (all unconfirmed as of 3/10, but I'll keep this post updated as I hear back from organizers):
- We did dOpa (us) vs SlayerS_bekho (canada) and HDStarcraft (us) vs CombatEX (canada) last time. chromate is the Toronto organizer. Lets' get some showmatches up and running again =)
- Maybe we can contact diggity and see if he's doing another meetup in LA
- Australian LAN parties... I've heard back from some of them
- Who will represent us in our showmatches? The winners of our mini-tourney/local pro-gamers/popular demand.
If there's a lot of interest in city-vs-city stuff, we should set up some kind of League-style tournament, with the finals played live for everyone to watch on the night of the GSL Code S finals!

you would be welcome. you would just need to find a way there.
comps are fast enough to run sc2.
|
I might go, but getting back home might be hard for me, so I'm not too sure (I live in cupertino) ..... >< unless I can sleep there or something from like 4-8am or something, but that's highly....weird to do lol ><...need to ask my parents aaaaah ><
|
BATLL VI was the first event I attended here and it was great  Definitely going to swing by for the finals
|
@explodinggodhand: You may bring your own peripherals if you would like! Plenty of people do bring their own stuff. We only ask that you plug in our default stuff before you leave =)
@jiyan: hooray, haven't seen you since batll iv!
@zhurai: I've stayed at Eudemonia past 8pm for every GSL finals party I've put on, lol. A good dozen-plus people stay past 8am =D You can stay and play (or take a nap sitting in a chair in the Magic tables area... haha)
|
Might show up if Moletrap is there because I want to meet him. Been wanting to go to one of these for a long time but I'm always busy... EECS hwaiting... this time it's spring break so w00t!

|
Hey this sounds really awesome! I live in SF but I think I'm gonna go! if anyone is going from SF let me know so maybe we can get some carpool action, if not iguess i'll take BART
|
aww dang, so I was asking my parents, apparently they are tied up that weekend with some other things, so this one I don't think I can go... (they can't drop me off I think, nor can they pick me up ;__;)
I guess I'll be able to come for a future GSL hopefully ^_^

It'll be mostly online, played the two days before the event (so Wednesday and Thursday... and probably bleeding onto Friday during the day, knowing how these things go). The final few games will be played at Eudo (/eudi if you prefer hahah).
Grats on Diamond =D Now sign up for Code S!!

If I can get someone from my area to go Ill go (grass valley). Thats a really long drive by myself. Especially since ive never been to Berkeley before.

I have friends who grew up in nevada city/grass valley. I hope you find someone!
moletrap is coming from Sacramento, which, while quite a trek, isn't as far as you have to go. Be safe!

Anyway, yes, you can come late. Don't worry about it. See you there =)
