Hey guys, I'm not sure if there has been a GSL Finals party in New Zealand yet, but I'm sure ours will be the BEST ONE EVER!
![[image loading]](http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/220/8/3/Kiwis_Are_Awesome_by_Vectriss.jpg)
This is an unofficial event by SESA (Software Engineering Student Association), so any UoA students are welcome to come  In fact, ANY Starcraft 2 fan from the Auckland region is welcome to join us!
We will have a large room with a projector so it'll be pretty sweet. The event is FREE, but that also means I'm not providing you anything (other than the stream). Feel free to suit up and bring some booze or snacks! (NOTE: we've agreed to the faculty staff that we won't bring any booze, hip flasks from responsible drinkers are welcome. We can pop down to Shadows bar later for those who's keen to get their drink on)
When:
Saturday 14th May 2011
The Show Starts at 6:10 pm, so just be there by 6:00pm.
Where:
Eng 3.403, level 3, Engineering building, 20 Symonds Street, Auckland CBD

All NesTea fans are going to buy a bottle of NesTea before the show, so be there on time!
Post finals review:
WE GOT MENTIONED!! TWICE!! In set 4, if you skip to around the 7 min 45 sec mark, Tasteless gives New Zealand and Sunkee, our legendary organiser who went to South Korea a month ago, a big shoutout! And then at around the 27:20 mark JOHN THE TRANSLATOR gives our first Auckland GSL party a shoutout!! Hats off to you, my good sirs Tasteless and John, for making our event special We had a massive roar of applause when we were mentioned haha
Overall it was an awesome GSL party, we had probably around 40-50 people show up even though some people couldn't make it, so it was a pleasant surprise when so many came. A big shoutout to Sunkee aka Salami (is that ur Bnet name? i forgot lol) for organising a room + computer + projector for us, and the free Nestea giveaways! Also thanks to the asian dude who came up and fixed our stream for us when we couldn't get the GOM player working properly lol. I'm sure the next time we will be better prepared Will be posting vids and pics soon
Until next time!

i know what you mean mate i managed to convince my boss to let me work the morning shift instead of the evening on Sat. so happy haha. also i'm gonna try to entice Plexa to come but dunno if he will since hes quite busy with this thing called life (pfff who needs that amirite?)

well boys its only a few hours until the GSL, hope you all manage to find parking in Auckland CBD on a Saturday night!
|
Oh damn it's a shame i saw this so late (was browsing GP forums and saw thread there).
HAVE FUN GUYS :D
And yeah Engineering building was a mess to find random lecture theaters when i was there. Probably worse since i wasn't an eng student so when i did get a random class there it was like "ahh fuck not again" then i go ask all my eng buddies to show me around.

Why did I have to find out about this thread 35 minutes before the event? FML.
