Reaching out to the masses of awesome nerds can be pretty tough, and keeping track of BarCrafts can be pretty hard, so wouldn't it be great to have one thread where all the upcoming BarCrafts in Sweden could be posted?

Similar to the concept of a fanclub, I thought we could add all the Swedes that are interested in attending BarCrafts in the future, just to roughly estimate how many we are

Please feel free to comment on any past or upcoming BarCraft events, and do upload pictures taken during the event if possible!

So post here and enlighten your fellow nerds about the awesome events taking place!

Could everyone who posts please also mention what city you live in, that would definitely help out with the communication during upcoming events !

I'll start of with a couple of pictures from the BarCraft I attended tonight, enjoy !

Such a fun event, the atmosphere was electrifying. One of the best parts of the evening was when I went to get some beers and I bumped into 3 drunk guys who had no idea what was on the screen and I started explaining what was going on and all and they actually got interested. Will definitely attend more of these, Retro did a great job.

Is there anything like this being planned in Umeå? I've moved here rather recently, and would be nice to meet other people into the esports scene, especially when it involves watching stuff live and yelling like an idiot

I would consider it, but crazy busy with school work and other things sadly.

OT : I have a cousin studying up north in Umeå by the way!
Ye getting something like this together might be abit time consuming but during weekends/holidays it might be possible? Does any one know when the IPL grand finals take place?
I'm assuming everyone commentating in this thread are willing to attend future BarCraft events, and therefore I'll add you to the list !

I was at the one in Uppsala. Awesome atmosphere. Hope we manage to get two venues in Uppsala next time or just a larger pub. It got a bit crowded near the end. Must have been 150 people there in a rather small place. Most of the people who were there had to stand up.

Any info on the Malmö one? I live in Lund and would love to see it happen here, but I suppose Malmö isn't too far away :3

Ye... the BarCraft in Malmö seems rather mysterious.. I knew you could never trust people from Skåne.. So thrilled to see Esports grow in the next couple of years <3

Awesome! I live there, and a bunch of friends have been talking about bringing BarCraft to Umeå. I'm sure there are a lot of Starcraft fans here and i can name about 15 just from the top of my head. Unfortunately I don't really have time to organize it (studies and so on), but let's hope someone else can do it.

Great initiative Coal!

Btw, I'd like to be added to the fan list. Should that be organized based on what (big) city the user is from or closest to? Just a thought.

We were the ones shouting and at around 0:58 my friend said "We're the coolest people here" LOL
