I got there around 530 but was too full to get a decent view. Ended up leaving after am hour or so and watching at friend house. I guess that proves it was a success though! Would be nice to get a second projector going on the other side of the bar. would allow for a lot more people. That our get another bigger place? But I think the bar is a lot better environment than the theater was. Anyways well done by the organizers!


I brought this up with galleon, he said they're talking to a new bar about hosting the next one there.

Wish I went to this lol. Any thoughts about hosting it at multiple bars? To solve the crowdedness issue. Or is that a lot of work?

Good job to organizers for throwing another awesome one.

Did a lot of people show up?

I haven't been able to make it to any of the Toronto events yet, but I really hope to go for MLG Providence and maybe Blizzcon if you guys are still doing it then.

Are there enough people to fill 2 bars? If it was held at 2 bars, should 2 be picked that are walking distance from each other to facilitate movement between them?

It wasn't that the bar filled up, just the viewing area we had was packed. We need a venue which is already set up like a sports bar with TVs all over so we can use the entire venue.

There are definitely enough people for two bars and I like that idea, but it might be a little trickier to find two places that are side by side like that everyone would find cozy. There are a number of places that have really big capacities though, so that might be something to look into. It would be nice if we could find a spot where everyone could meet up.

The time might come where we can have one Uptown and another Downtown. ;o

Here's a compilation of a few "ooooohhhh" moments at the event. Dark but you get an idea from the ambiance and how much you missed out if you didn't show up.

Check it out here.

^ I agree. Or theatre. I guess it depends on how you want the social dynamic to be. Together and easier to speak to the crowd or trust that people will mingle with enough alcohol.

Cool video there, I think it captured the noise and rowdiness, but it didn't do justice to how many bodies were packed into the bar :p

I had a buddy who showed up literally 5 minutes after the last match ended so he didn't get a chance to see how many people there were, but I sent him the video so he could get a sense of it :p

thanks everyone for showing up!!!

and thank you everyone for putting up with the event! There were a few techincal hurdles, at the last minute we were limited to a single ethernet cable for internet and we didn't get other screens up - sound system exploded on us and lots of other little things but thats par for the course I think a few people overhead me saying it felt like our worse event (from a tech side) but really it all came together to make it one of the best and thats all becuase of how totally amazing the sc2 community is! (huge props to adam and curtis they made all the magic happen - I just get to yell at people)

everyone that helped (litterally) shoutcast matches while we banged rocks together trying to get the sound back up - you guys (and girls) as trulys awesome!!!

shit so many thanks - every one that donated and everyone that helped (and offered to) everyone that said hi.. I got to meet a lot of new people was a great time!! oh man my head is still ringing

Believe me when I say people are working on making sure future events are even better! E-sports canada is real and working hard so you can party hard... haha

MLG Raleigh/Toronto was a huge turnout, people were streaming in non stop, and cuz the venue couldn't fit em all they had to leave.

I would estimate about a hundred people showed up, but the viewing capacity was only about 50.

I know a couple bar owners, so maybe we can get several of these going on.

If only 20 people show up and by food/drinks I am sure bars would consider doing this on a regular basis.

Also, if you are having friends over to watch MLG or any esports finals, start posting it here. We wanna know your experience.

The more people that start to enjoy watching esports, the bigger we can grow the community. I told some friends about this, and they were interested in going to another one.

Spread the word everyone, Esports in Canada is only gonna get bigger!!
