BarCraft Sweden
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/hk53K.png)
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.
|
I need your country to annex mine please.
|
Heard it was amazing. My brother told me there was a barcraft in malmö aswell and over 400 parties were turned down! 
|
|
|
There was one in Malmö? Awesome! Would love to see some pictures if possible !
|
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 .
|
Would love it if someone got one going in Gothenburg!
|
Frozenzen, maybe you will have to be the one organizing it ?:D I'm certain that there are plently guys/galss with similiar interest like you up there in the north :D
|
I could only catch the finals due to work, but it was awesome! Gona make sure me and my buds are there the entire day next time! :D GJ everyone who set the whole thing up

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.

Would be awesome if someone organized something in Umeå. Would definately attend.
|
This is just amazing ^_^
ESPORTS <3
|
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.
|
|
|
Fantastic idea Roberi! @ Frozenzen, see, you already made a couple of friends! Could everyone who already posted/who's going to post also include their city? Thanks in advance !
|
|
|
I'd definately hop on a train to Umeå if there was a barcraft up there Just an hour by train from Örnsköldsvik

Aye, it was kind off small, when I watched the videos from O'Learys in Stockholm I got kinda jealous Hopefully we can expand to a bigger bar next time, or simply have BarCrafts in several locations!

I need some o dat barcraft in southern Swe...asap!!
|
People in southern Sweden needs to get to together and work something out :D I'll add people to the fanclub over time!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This needs to be brought over to Gothenburg!
|
I wish they would have barcraft in Skellefeå. One of the disadvantages of living in such a small town.
|
That video is already in the OP @ Penke, maybe some one is organizing a BarCraft in a bigger city nearby? Or you could take the initiative?
|
These are excellent. Congratulations everyone!

Skellefteå isn't that far away from Umeå. Maybe a friend in town can hook you up with a place to stay for one night? There are also buses.
A friend of mine from Umeå has been in contact with O'Learys here. They talked about possibly showing Dreamhack Valencia, but unfortunately there was a some big hockey game that night. They did sound very positive about the whole idea, however, so they are definitely interested!
|
I wonder if this can done in Linköping as well..lots of students here.
|
This is the best thing ever! When I get back from China this is top off the list!
|
Glad to see that people are as hyped as I am! Updated the OP so people can see how many people are signed up from their city, enjoy
|
This thread gives me nerd chills.
I'll attend any BarCraft within 10 km from Helsingborg!

A German friend of mine is on his exchange term in Linköping, he's a SC2 enthusiast as well, goes by the b.net name of Stellarvore. I cant get his # though, cause I have him on real id. I'll give him the link to this thread.
|
The BarCraft at O'Learys in Stockholm was AWESOME!!!! :D:D:D:D The people were awesome, the food was awesome, the tension was awesome - IT WAS AWESOME! Add me as a fan, and I'll see some of you the nextBarCraft here ;D (whenever that'll be)

|
I live in Umeå i moved here because of the university and studies! I grind a lot of StarCraft 2 nowadays i would love to attend if something like this comes up! so sign me to the list.
|
I was at Bracraft with some friends at the pub Retro in Södermalm and it was off the hook! great food, great drinks and loads of big tv's!
I can recomend the dubble burger menu... 400g meat!
|
Love the atmosphere
|
Hey! You forgot to give me creds for the Stim Pack picture .
Also, you can add me to the fan list.
|
BarCraft Gothenburg let's make it happen!!! :D
|
Nooo! How did I miss this!!!?

Don't worry, there will be plenty more nights packed with SC2 and beer

Amazing! But i want to know what the owners of the bars thought about this, I mean i'm sure they had no idea what they were getting into. It would be awesome if someone could do an interview with one of them. Just to get their perspective, how they liked it, their expectations and stuff like that. Oh and ofc if they're willing to do it again.
And lets make Barcraft Gothenburg happen!

I think it is quite simple. Did they by lots of booze? If yes, then the owners liked it
|
I couldn't get my friends to join so I went to The Crib solo. Was awesome, though! Met a cool guy called Victor at the bar for some drunken Starcraft-discussion.
Definitely looking forward to more Barcraft!

Another video from Barcraft O'Learys just after the 2:2 to ThorZaIN

Sign me up as a fan of Uppsala it was great(even though room 2 could've been better).

Ye.. they kinda messed that up Well well, it was great fun regardless of the technical problems :D
|
I was at O'Leary's, was great, but would have been greater if I had booked a table because the place was packed and standing up is tiresome :p
Next time!
|
it's nice for us cave dwellers to leave the cave every now and then, and these events are the only time where Bronze leaguers get to look down on the masters league players, seeing as bronze leaguers actually have a life.
and this is coming from a Masters league zerg here.
|
Aye... booking tables before would've been a cleaver idea, me and my friends were ridiculed, seeing as almost everyone else had booked a table, the bar in Uppsala (Red Room) was good, but a bit to small :/ Hopefully we will be able to have the next BarCraft at O'Learys!
|

Awesome news Cr0wbar!!! I'll add the group to the OP !

I was fortunate enough to have a friend that is more intelligent than me that booked a table beforehand. it was a wise decision. although sitting down you tend to get a lot of "less fortunate" people standing in the way of the screens.
|
I was at Retro in Stockholm, it was great indeed!
|
Would definitely attend a barcraft in malmö, looking forward to follow this thread closely..
|
Would like one in Örebro!
|
Get something together for either IPL, MLG Orlando, or perhaps even MLG Global Invitational, only a couple of weeks left! Congratulations Cellblock and Roberi btw !

Edit: To clarify, my post is about the Uppsala Barcraft, Red Room.
I asked one of the bartenders a bit what he thought about it while I was there. He basically said that it was nice, a lot of people, but they drink a bit less than they(Red Room) are used to. I also asked what he thought about doing this again and he said "Yea, absolutely".
|
I really hope we will have something like this in finland too someday, would be so sick :D
|
Oooh famous people posting! Welcome Satiini :D @ Ashzala, great news! Though Red Room wasn't really adequate :/ If BarCraft continues to grow in the same rapid pace as its currently doing, we'll have to get a bigger bar :D
|
God take in the USA plz. I love Scandinavian countries :D

That said, I definitely had one of the better viewpoints in the bar with the big TV to the right of me. Doesnt show very well in the movie I took, but man, it was the perfect spot.
|
Glad to hear:D I had a rather sweet spot myself :D Really cool that Gotherburg+Norrköping are catching up
|
Update on barcraft uppsala 10/10...
Its not gonna be held that date but the day after becouse of timezone differences to usa.
Its gonna be held at O'learys sportsbar in the center of uppsala.
Actual times are still TBA but Tuesday evening.
Hope to see you all there.

Thanks for the update weawer, just noticed, I edited the OP!

Registered because of these things, 'tis was awesome!
Though you should mention Ina (the white haired girl in valencia etc) for starting this up, she kind of paved the way and made it 1000% easier to anyone else to start a barcraft (due to the huge success at retro most places were open for the event but from what I heard she had a hard time getting a spot for the first one)

Haven't heard anything about her.. seems like a nice gal but her English(not to mention the rest of Aftonbladet's crew) is pretty terrible But if she started this, she deserves mad props! I'll look into it !
|
Omg. I live in Växjö. I'd love to see some Barcrafting here. =) Would fit right in at Pauze/Sports :D
Although! I'd try to attend Barcrafts around the Eslöv/Lund/Malmö area too! :D
|
Edit: Updated the OP, with the location and time for the next upcoming BarCraft event in Uppsala !
|
will you guys have a barcraft for MLG Global Invitational EU only at Uppsala ? 
Any chance see something at Stockholm ?

Don't know, there will probably be something in Stockholm too, though I haven't heard anything about it yet.. if there isn't, just jump on the train! The bar is located a couple of hundreds of meters from the train station :D

Awesome! Going to attend the next one in Uppsala for sure !: D

Looking forward to be at my first Barcraft.

BarCraft Uppsala was awesome! Unfortunately I could only be there for the first matches.
I'd love to go again!

Retro and The Crib is already booked for Dreamhack Winter finals, it will maybe even be a two-day event.
We have a few other dates we are looking into, like MLG Global that I think someone already mentioned here in this thread.
|
Great news! Could you specify ''we''? Are you part of a group or just a motivated individual ?: )
Any form of link to either the actual event or if Retro/The Crib has a facebook site would be useful!
|
I'm definitely interested in any barcraft in Stockholm ;D And anywhere else I might be for that matter!
|
Updated the OP with info regarding upcoming events and added fans!
|
Dam, i was planning to be at dreamhack this winter. If i cant i will be in one. 100%
I havent been in one yet but you can add me in the stockholm fan list
|
Damn.. Stockholm is ages ahead of any other city :/ Come on Uppsala !
|
|
|
More BarCrafts popping up by the minute, awesome! I'll add you link to the OP
|
Anyone from the Jönköping area interested? Perhaps people from Tekniska Högskolan, I know there's some sc2 fans there. We could try to arrange something at O'learys!

weii cant, wait for the next one that I will be able to attend Was so awesome ^^
|
Having TLO showing up to your Barcraft caaaan't be bad =)
Hmm... WTB Barcraft Copenhagen.. Im gonna have to think about that.. Stockholm is just too far >.>
|
It seems Swedish e-sport has come far the last 2-3 years. I think this is totally awsome. Not only that people are able to get to together and watch SC but that theyre able to do it at somewhat decent locations on top of that.
Looking forward to come back to Sweden in March. Will definitely barcraft with a couple of friends as soon as I can find time.

I live in Karlskrona, but not sure if there is anywhere appropriate to do it here... though I'm new to town so if anyone from these parts knows something I don't then let me know. Would definitely be interested in doing it, or even attending one that is reasonably close. Would probably go as far as Växjö!

Watching the videos of everyone cheering Thorzain is so awesome, there are so many people it looks like my local Irish pub during an Ireland match, gj Sweden I wish I spoke your language.

SC2 hasn't really grown in Ireland yet huh ? And regarding the language, it's crap compared to English =( (the actual country is great though <3)

I'll definitely check one of these out when I'm around!

If Ireland includes Irish themed pubs in Sweden then yes, SC2 has grown in Ireland ^^

Quite charming actually.. wherever you go in the world you can always get a nice pint of guinness
|
Definetly sign me up as interested for barcrafts in Linköping or Norrköping!
|
I wish I would have discovered this thread before latest DH. Instead I watched DH all by myself in front of the computer...
Ok, enough crying!
Only one way to solve this: Sign me up as a fan of Stockholm BarCraft since I will attend from now on.

Just saw the most awesome thing ever!! For those of you living in Uppsala, rakaka will be cooperating with Göteborgs Nation, and they will be broadcasting SC2 all night long during MLG Invitational !:D
|
Hi,
I am one of the organizers and can confirm Coal's information! We are arranging a Barcraft-event @ Göteborgs nation in cooperation with Rakaka.se, scheduled to take place during the MLG Invitational Europe @ October 11th. We will have quizes/etc with prizes sponsored by Rakaka, such as Battlefield 3 and FIFA 12 (optional platforms).
For more info (unfortunately in swedish) please visit: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=268353036531943
Attend and support e-sport! =)
|
So it is not going to be anynthing on O'Learys anymore?
And you need a "kårleg" to be on Göteborgs Nation?
This sucks.
I hope as few as possible show up so it gets done in a ordinary bar next time .
Edit: What kårleg means is that you need to be a university student in Uppsala to get into the bar.
|

Thanks for the appreciation.
This event was created parallelly with the one at Olearys, and its main focus was and is still is students due to the fact it is being held at a student nation. Olearys seem to have kinda ditched the other guys as Sweden's national soccer team is playing against Holland at the same day. So it's not really a relocated event but a a whole different one. I am sorry that you feel this way and that you seem to believe that people who are trying to support the e-sport - despite that it's being held at a nation - suck

If that had been clear from the beginning I would probably just have ignored it, gotten grumpy, and move on.
Who knows.

Mjeeh I wish it was in Gothenburg instead of Gothenburgs Nation. Really would like to see some barcraft here too :/ I wonder what place would host that though (no student pub since I'm not a student anymore .

Hi fellow geeks, this is quite a late announcement, and it will probably not reach a lot of people, but it's better late than never!
There will be a Barcraft in ÖSTERSUND, Jämtland, this friday!
What we're watching: IPL#3 Origins
Time: Friday 16:00 - Saturday 02:00 (GMT +1, Swedish time ofc ^^)
Place: News Bar & Kök (Just to the left of ICA Traktören which is right below Kyrkparken, below Sibylla 11:ans, and above Stortorget)
Ofc you have to be 18+ to come.
And that's it. Feels really strange to write this in English as probably everyone coming will be Swedish, but forum rules are forum rules...
See ya there!
|
Quite late indeed.. But I'll add it to the OP , hopefully some more people will see it !

I'm considering a weekend in Östersund now
But isn't the soccer match Finland - Sweden on Friday evening?
Could you please confirm that you won't show soccer on friday instead of starcraft 2?
Also a good idea would be to post the event on the swedish barcraft homepage.

My friend, who spoke to the bar owner, has arranged it to be Starcraft on the big screen. News Bar & Kök isn't like Olearys in the way they show sports. Well, usually there is like Eurosport on their screen, but nobody's ever watching. If people want to see the football game, they can simply go to Olearys just down the street.
The worst thing that can happen now, is that the bar owner decides to be an asshole and turns us down in the last minute, but let's not hope for that.

Perhaps it should be mentioned that there will be barcraft same time saturday too. Same place the next day!
|
Gn4M, how did the BarCraft in östersund go?
|
Sigh... I lived 200 m from News in Östersund a few years ago. If I was anywhere close to Östersund today I'd definately have been there.

I was one of the Co-organizers.
It went pretty well. The first day we were planned to be about 20-25 people but since the stream wasn't working people dropped off untill we had to cancel the event.
On saturday we were about 10 but we had a good time none the less.

Ye.. Poor IPL :/ Really unlucky, but I'm glad you had a great time regardless of technical difficulties !
|
sign me up on linköping! ^-^

Hey please sign me up as a fan (stockholm) :D BarCraft is so awesome <3

Right, that wasn't how I would tell it... I think it was an utter failure, and all because of the internet failure... -.- The amount of bad luck was just unreal. Yes we were expecting quite a few the first day, but since it failed hard I think most people lost their faith, and so nobody came the next day. And we were only 6-8 people watching on saturday.
The bar owner also seemed to doubt our event, he kept asking whether more people would be arriving soon the second day. If we're going to arrange another one in the future, we better have like 20 names ready, and only have barcraft one night. I think it was a bit too optimistic to introduce Östersund to this by streaming for 20 hours in total spanning two days.
And god damn it those bar chairs were killing my ass after 5 hours SC2 straight the 2nd day... xD
Well in short it was a fail, but 90% due to bad luck and 10% due to too much optimism. At least we learned something of it! :D

Uhh, lol. How is that any different from what he said? It's pretty much the exact same thing. First day got unlucky with their internet/stream, second day there were less people. It's not like 8 people is far from about 10 people, not really sure what your point is tbh

And I don't see the point with your response...? I retold it exactly how it was, LiaT held in the bad stuff. Had I been a random reading his post I'd interpret the event as decently successful. It was not.

Add me to barcraft fans in Linköping, Nyköping and Uppsala. I don't think there's enough fans for Nyköping but you can always hope

Good news for the SC2 fans in Umeå. Kårhuset Origo at Umeå University will host a Barcraft on the 23 of October for the ESWC Finals! With it being a student organization, I'm expecting a lot of people there. More info can be found at the Facebook Event!
I did not help with the creating of this event (just thought I'd post it here for all to see). So if anyone involved would like to take credit and post some more details here, please do
Edit: I can confirm that a "kårleg" is not required to attend this event. You do need to be over 18 years old, however.

BarCraft in Lund November 26th 15.00-23.00 Most likely at O'Learys but nothing sure just yet.
Spread the word and invite your friends list to the group and the event that is posted in the group. If they agree to host the event we have to come up with the clientele.

I don't live close enough to go to this, but I encourage everyone who does to go and support it so that people see that this is a profitable thing to host at their pubs/clubs/whatever. The more people that go the more chance we have of arranging future events :D

Yeah, exactly.. My boss is sooo pesimistic to this. Though as the events is closing up it seems like the turn up will be pretty good. At least I'm hoping...would just loooove to see esport growing also in smaller cities like mine
Thanks for your reply btw!
