Hey I just moved to Berkeley for College and it would be great to meet some SC2 fans. What happens when we lose in the tourney though?

you hang out and socialize with everyone else. you can leave early if you want, but after paying, the computer is yours for the rest of the day-- so we play custom games, 1v1s, Use Map Settings games, what have you. a group of people usually grab dinner somewhere nearby as well.

We try to run an "Effort!" tournament for everybody that gets knocked out during pool play, but it often devolves into everybody screaming at each other while we play TronCraft and team mono battles. haha. Also... watching amazing players play their games is huge huge amounts of fun. We hang out and debate the merits of their strategies while they play in the other room (or sometimes right behind them lol).

Previous places we've gone for dinner have included Mayflower (the Chinese place next door), and Round Table Pizza across the street. For food we just kind of wing it. One time we tried to walk all the way to the durant food court (I've always known it as the asian ghetto though haha) but it proved too far... more time spent walking means less time for troncraft so we'll probably just go across the street for something again =)

If anyone knows people north of Sacramento, but south of Oregon that want to go, let me know because I'd like to carpool if I can. I'm willing to drive too.

I'll come by in the evening to see how things are going, can't make the early afternoon though. Fun times at all the Eudo events I've attended so far, thanks for setting these up.

Is this going to be streamed? Just wondering, since It's sponsored by twitch.tv and all.

Are registrations for the tournament limited to a certain number of people? And is everyone who's confirmed as going actually competing?

No there's no limit, although if we pass 40 or so there will be issues with getting on to computers, but it won't be as bad as before since the store has added more computers and also with 12:45 check in there will be less regulars using computers. People who are confirmed are just people who will show and may or may not play (they might just spectate), it's their choice! ^^
