Skype me at ArKonix1 if you are interested!
|
Hey if anyone can swing by Milton to pick up a Nova Scotian for the event I'm all for it just drop me a pm! ^_^

|
If anyone from Brampton has space in their car, I can use a ride otherwise public transit it is!
|
Sounds like it should be lots of fun. Really hope I dont have to work sunday.

Ahhh so Jelly! Ottawa nerds, lets figure this shit out please!
|
Anyone going from markham/scarborough?
|
I would come to this. But I don't drink so I would feel like a nerd in a room full of less nerdy nerds.
Sounds like fun otherwise. GL with it.

To Spadina, not St. George. It'll save you a five minute walk.
Edit: Will anyone meet me if I go? I don't have much starcraft 2 friends, I have a few that I might invite.
@masterbreti, I dunno, I might be pretty nerdy... and I'm not gonna be drinking either. Most people don't.
|
Anyone coming from the Hamilton area? I've missed all of these events so far due to bad timing :S I will not miss this one damnit!
|
Anyone come from the guelph, kw, waterloo area? I got wheels and might be willing to drive up for this. PM me

Actually getting off at Bathurst station is by far the closest. Markham is one street west of Bathurst and the victory is a block south of Bloor on Markham.
|
There for sure with pitcher of Molson M. PM me if yall want to meet up before hand for some foods.
|
Agreed Kennigit, I'll be streaming at work on Friday, the weekend definitely needs an Ottawa drink n' craft...
|
hmmm im thinking of coming but this will be my first event, kinda intimidating o.O

coming from oshawa will probably catch 5pm go train to get their for the finals (work before)
|
It's stuff like this that leads me to miss living in Toronto. I'll pass the word on to some friends there, they may be interested in showing up.
|
Damn, one of the disadvantages of not being 19 is I can't go to events like this at a bar.
Oh well, 6 or 7 more months to go...
|
Sadly I cannot come to watch  Forgot the radio station I work for is at Bay Fest this weekend, so I get to be in studio for the entire thing ._.

TryThis, are you taking brampton transit all the way or going to bramalea go and go bussing it?
|
I've always wanted to go to the GSL events but they were way too late. This one is at a reasonable hour so I'll probably come by with a few friends. See you guys there!

You can come you just can't drink. There is no law about people under 19 being in bars like the Victory anymore. That ended when you stopped being able to smoke inside.

I see. Probably can't make it though, as my parents are going to "suprise" me with a family reunion picnic that i don't want to go to.
Oh well, maybe next season.

I'm definitely dropping by to meet some fellow nerds.
|
|
|
sweet ill try to make it!
|
Definitely coming to this with some buddies.
|
|
|
Will try to come for the finals match at least.
|
My roommate and I are coming. This'll be great!
|
Great idea, way to support E-Sports in Canada! To bad I live 4 hours from Toronto (by car).
|
Wow Incontrol and NOT Hot_Bid! Awesome sauce, anyways heres hope to see you all on sunday rain or shine. Support e-sports in Canada and promote any threads you find on events happening! As you've all seen we've been getting more and more community support here so we should definitely pass it forward.This has the Ruskie stamp of approval =)
Guys also if you're NOT on the mailing list kindly email me at ruskiesc2@gmail.com to be added to the mailing list for future events!
Oh yeah, here's Chromate getting his shirt signed by Incontrol, everyone should ask him real nice to bring it in, it's a work of art with over 30 pro signatures on it.

Plans changed, I can't go unless I get a ride to and from
Also, people taking transit should find out what time it stops running so you aren't stranded.
|
Might come, depends if I can convince one of my friends to tag along...sadly none play.

BS You definitely should come!
RE: transit:
Last train leaves Bathurst St. at 1:50am so there should be plenty of time for everyone to get home.
|
There are also night buses/streetcars that cover the subway line all night, so you're always good to go (assuming you live in the city).
|
i think im gonna go, but pub = so intimidating oh god

Hwaiting... hah It would be better if it wasn't so spread out. But oh well.
Anyone without a group, feel free to join, I'm the guy in the Korean soccer jersey.
|
I wonder if it's going to be packed by the time I get there which will be at like 6.
|
I work less than 10 min and its on my way home so i might pass by for a drink or 2
PS: I semi own the place so if anyone is down to come for a drink before 5 more than welcome (1st one is on me)

I'll be there at 8 for the finals.
|
Anybody there now? I live like 10 minutes away. =P
|
Also be there before 8,
Loved the last event.
I'm already thinking of Drinking game rules.
Anyone know if This schedule is accurate btw? Seems like they're about to start the 3rd place game at like 3:30 instead of 5pm....is finals really 8pm regardless?
|
Different time zones down in ontario
|
Yes, Im familiar with the concept of Time zones, but they said the 3rd place match would be 2pm PST...(5EST)
It is however currently 12:30 PST and they've started it, so they're about 90 minutes ahead of schedule.
|
Hey dudes, be there for the finals too
|
Man, they just said they'd take an hour break... Thought finals would start at 8, not 5:30... I'm still at work

Well fuck NASL. I try really hard to like them, but now I get to miss the finals cause they move them way up. Goddammit.
|
Be there in a half hr then :/
If I talk to three people and they don't allow the conversation to continue,again I'm flaming the fuck out of you nerds tonight! Fucking talk back.
|
This is such bullshit. I've been looking forward to this all week, and NASL moves it forward with no advance notice. Now I miss the finals. Too bad guys, I wanted to be there.
|
I hope the VOD is up immediately,
I find it so hard to go Spoiler-free when looking for a VOD
|
fuck nasl! I was so looking forward to watching it live at the bar, but I can't make it so soon

Had a ton a beer and a lot of fun. Even if the stream went down, we still had that guy's iPhone for 360p streaming!

Thanks to everyone for showing up it was a blast, i saw a lot of new faces which is good news, keep telling your friends and supporting e-sport! Also how epic was it to have our picture live on the NASL finals, sooo fucking cool, i think the bar floor shook from the cheering. Everyone make sure to thank Chromate for throwing and setting up another great event! We'll continue to look for better venues and more entertainment for the next event, stay tuned.

Woh, very back row, 4th from the right. To the left of the guy with the human shirt. You can only see his head and he has short hair and glasses.
Totally looks like a sub teacher I had once, and I live relatively close to Toronto. Could it be??

You guys are amazing for putting this together. Chromate, I cannot explain how important what you are doing is. I was at work Sunday, risking my job watching it on the sales floor, dying to be there with you guys. I cannot express my thanks to you for setting this up. Me and my friends will be at every single one of these buying beers/food and supporting the scene. I cannot F'ing wait.
Canada fighting!
|
Huge props to everyone who showed up. E-Sports scene in Toronto is getting bigger and famous in some way. Well, I guess Tastosis are tired of hearing about our events
I know it was a great night for all of you out there! Sorry for not being with you - had work that day.
We promise - next time will be bigger, better, Nerdier (is that a word? ) !!!
Canada fighting!
Toronto fighting!

I hope there is another one for MLG at the end of the month.
