nice 
ill try to make it
|
Leetol bump.
Going to be helping the ItsGosu guys run the tournament, managing nerds and brackets and so on. I should be able to stay the entire even this time, no travel plans the day after at like 2am :D
Tell all your friends, gogogo.
|
Where does Hwangsin live? I wonder how far he's travelling to get to the LAN
|
HwangSin lives in Korea so approximately a gazillion miles to get to the LAN center  . He actually will be in DC this Wednesday night. Then he and the IG team will be traveling to MLG Raleigh on Thursday. Afterwards, he and wbc will be in VA for another week before they both fly back home.
|
Wow, that is pretty damn sweet!
|
Hahaha I like how food is scheduled. Looking forward to see how the new Netolic turned out. I've been practicing a lot since I'm going to MLG this weekend, so hopefully I'll do well this time
Also, sorry for being off topic. I don't know where i would post this, but I was wondering if anyone going to MLG Raleigh would like to room/split hotel bill with me and another person(Muffley) for two nights. If we got two other people it would make it $50 for both Friday and Saturday night. If anyone going is interested just shoot me a PM. Thank you!

Ah okay wow so you guys are flying him all the way to Dc for the LAN and MLG thats pretty crazy haha
|

|
I would love to be there, but sadly, I will be out of town.
I must say, Netolic MUCH GREATER than Cyberground.

Desk space is not too bad I don't think. This place has better AC and doesn't smell like smoke either. We'll be having a room to ourselves for this tournament so it should be better.
|
Wow, this looks amazing. Not sure if I'll be able to come or not, it all depends on when I'm moving to Boston. I'll be able to know for sure by the 31st.
|
whoaaaa. Even if you arnt playing the tourny, $10 for gaming and food!!
|
I'll do my best to make it and drag a friend along.
|
you can count me in hooktits.619

Right, $10 for causal play is not bad for 10 hours of PC usage and food. Plus you get to meet all the local SC2 folks from the TL community.
|
bumpbump, let's get a lot more folks signed up! PM your friends, emails, etc. etc.
|
|
|
don't think I can make this one 
|
Food and Starcraft, count me in!
|
Damn my girlfriend and I are going up to New York this weekend to visit her family or I would be all about this! I'll talk with the other LXG members and see if anyone else can attend ^^

Yes, if you can spread the word about this tournament to the LXG members, that would be great. There's also a taxi service that people can use if they need to be picked up at the metro station. If you mentioned "It's Gosu" when you call, you'll get 15-20% off. Unlimited Transport @ 703-517-0000

Looking forward to this :D

They're all out at target buying new pants because of the player list.
tbh I think our super-star DC area players scared off once good playersavilo started showing up and smashing faces.
I might swing by for a little bit, just to pick up my official GoSu.Torenhire jersey, but we won't be able to stay long. ^^
|
I think more people are coming to meet up than to play...everyones scared of the player list...
|
I'll be there to play. Haven't played in several months but hell who cares.

I'll leave it up to Max and the Gosuguys to get the event submission filled out, since it's their event.
That way we don't submit it 90x to the calendar, hahaha.

Thanks for signing up muffley! Also, our event submission just got rejected by a TL moderator. They said "Prize too low for lan event"  . Is that right???

Can't make it early enough to play, but i'll def. be there later.
|
I think at the right place? Is it a custom framing place as well as computer?
|
yeah you need to park and go through the back entrance and up some stairs through a hallway, at least thats the only way I know how to get there.
|
Found it! Rob's directions were quite good
|
|
|
Arrrgh!!!! This drive can be so frustrating, but the reward is well worth it ^_^
|
FYI the entrance is in the parking area (the back)

I believe RedMageJR took some pictures along with other people, they'll probably be up soon in the itsgosu website or on redmage's twitter. Shoulda been there son.

Wow, there were some really great games played in this tournament. Congrats to HwangSin (1st), LuckyFool (2nd), and wbc (3rd). Thanks to everyone that showed up, Hannah for making the brownies (yummmy), Zyori for help casting this event, and CaucasianAsian for approving the event on the TL calendar .
|
Man, I'm facepalming so hard right now. I can't believe I missed this. When will the next one be?
|
There are LAN's in the area all the time, I wouldn't expect to wait more than 4-8 weeks before there'd be another lol
|
I guess I'm sad I didn't get to see Hwangsin's gosu play live.

OMG those brownies were aweasome!!! i wish i had one now... sigh T.T

Definitely a much better location that the previous LANs. The food a great thing too, and hopefully it's something that they keep up with. Aside from, while trying to watch in the caster room, having to listen to someone desperately try to be funny, it was all excellent, and I look forward to events in the future.
