New event!
Hope you have your drinking pants on because our next event will show streams from not one but TWO eSports tournaments: the StarCraft 2 Regional WCS finals and The International Dota 2 Championships!
What's more, it will all be going down in the home of the Fun Experts: Funhaven!
I find myself strangely drawn to this odd configuration of activity.
It will be happening on Sunday, August 11th at Funhaven (http://goo.gl/maps/t0qvl). For those of you who drive, there is plenty of parking. For those of you bus, it's a 10 minute walk from the Iris Transitway station. For everyone else, it's a bit far out but hope to see you there all the same!
The timing is not certain yet; we'll be running for sure between 3PM-10PM but we have to firm up the ends. We'll update this page once things are set.
There is a 5$ cover this time BUT you will get a 5$ Funhaven game credit in return. If you wish, you may pay 10$ and get a laser tag pass as well as a $5 game credit (normally would cost you $13). If you buy any of the other Funhaven regular packages you will also get access.
Food and drink is available (there is a bar in the event room) all night long.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IN ADDITION TO THE ADDITION we're running a survey to improve our setup. You can find it HERE . The prize has already been distributed but you can still fill the survey out to help us! Maybe if we get another 100 unique respondants we'll do another draw.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Besides TL, information can be found on the subreddits /r/barcraft and /r/OttawaBarCraft, the facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/OttawaBarCraft/ or by sending a mail to OttawaBarCraft@gmail.com to get on the mailing list.
If you attended an Ottawa BarCraft, send me your feedback! We want to make sure we address all your concerns to make our BarCrafts the best we can.

This sounds awesome wished i lived close to the Ottawa area!!
|
I actually just yelled in excitement in my living room. I've been waiting for this, you don't know I happy I am! The best part is I live like a couple block from there, and I really like the Clock Tower. I'll be there.
|
Well, I'm 18, but if that doesn't matter, then I'm totally there lol. I'll be back in Ottawa on the 25th so it works perfectly. :D
Hopefully there are some good players showing up, so I can find some practice partners ;D

It was very easy to get the basement - I walked in and asked the bartender; she took out the little scheduling book and the date was free!
I was actually thinking of going to MVP first, but I thought I'd try the Clock Tower just in case since they have the delicious brews.
|
is there going to be a lot of people?|!
|
Tons of people confirmed so far.
Got some posters up at Carleton ^^
|
|
|
im 17 will i be able to go?
|
|
|
I will seriously consider attending this. Never been there, but I'm sure its gunna be a hell of a good time! Any idea how many people can comfortably chill/watch down in the basement?

Don't believe there is any restriction on the age to enter, you'll just obviously not be able to drink anything

The room can technically hold 90 but I'm told 80 is cozy so I imagine 90 will require some creative stacking.
|
Edited the main post, but stating this here for people who might miss it up there:
If you are not interested in indicating that you are 'attending' on the facebook page, could you please send me a PM on these forums? I'd like to know how big my overflow plan should be
|
Kennigit lives in Ottawa?
Fine sir, If we ever meet at a barcraft event, I will have to share some words with you about my feelings on the teamliquid's moderation. Civility will be based on the amount of drinks I have
I hope to see you out at one of these one day!
|
omg, so close, so awesome, i leave for a week that day, fuck. Do you think this will happen again? I would love it, and now that i got my 19 im good to go.
|
im sooooooo down. its my birthday the next day as well
|
Damn! Now that there's something in town, I'm actually GOING to MLG. Haha.
|
I really like this! I will see you there
|

We went over capacity by quite a bit. By quite a many bits. I am so sorry to all the people we had to turn away, it really was not an ideal situation. We will be working on a solution for this for the next event.
|
Welcome to Ottawa. A place where the venues are anywhere from 80-180 patrons. X_X

Is there any pics?

Awesome time!
People kept showing up in droves... too bad we couldn't expand upstairs there were like 10 people there ><
They actually had to remove the tables mid-afternoon to clear more room for chairs... pretty sure the Fire Department would have had a fit if they had seen how packed the place was! Luckily they were probably all busy with the parade going on that afternoon...
I posted a few pics in the Barcraft Summary thread for your enjoyment.

Pretty excited! Haven't been to one since the first. Hopefully Thanksgiving doesn't mean a low turnout.
|
Does this mean you're going Kennigit?
|
So wish I was there! Go Ottawa!

Nvm. Life seems to be conspiring to prevent me from attending these events (in all but 1 case). I can't make it this week .
|
Hey Impervious, I know you made it to the event. We shook hands! I took two pictures of the crowd. I am inspired to make a bigger album for the next event.

Definitely. I wanted to go to the last one but it was Thanksgiving so I couldn't make it out. I imagine the next event is probably the NASL finals?

|
For those who don't have FaceBook can some of the details please be posted here?
|
I've updated the first post and will continue to do so for future events
|
hum your allowed to drink at 18 in canada ...or is it jsut quebec ?
|
Just quebec, maybe another province or two... Ontario is definitely 19.
|
Somebody backed out of my car driving to Providence. Have a spot open if anyone is interested. Would be leaving Friday, returning Monday. PM me for details.
|
Guys " with the grand final being held on the 26th of November." from the dreamhack winter 2011 liquipedia entry. ?
|
Can I go even if I'm not 21? :/
|
Yes. Legal drinking age in Ontario is 19, but even if you are not 19 you are allowed to attend. Just don't try to buy alcohol!
|
Just wanted to bump this thread and let everyone know that this event is going down right now!
TUNE IN! (2pm onwards EST)

|
Just finishing up the BSG tournaments now! Going awesome, thank you Ottawa After Hours Gaming League for putting on such a fantastic production.
|
Is anything happening here soon? Any M/GM tournament? I'd like to participate.
|
Awesome! I've been waiting for this! :D
|
We're aiming to have the tournaments 3x a year; one month off, one month signups, two months tournament. We'll reevaluate after a season or two, though. So, Legion in particular, we're looking to have the next MGM tournament signups in April, and the finals in June.
|
I was there to watch the Winter Arena finals on Feb 26th and even blogged about it on my team's website.
I will be there again on March 25th - Looking forward to another great time. Please keep this up!
|
|
|
The 19th is going to be crazy good time! Can't wait!
|
damn I completely missed the signups for the tournament. Any way around this?
|
Just sent you a PM with the info for the admins.
Hope you manage to squeeze in

I'm 18 y.o., can I get into the bar? :>
