|
Awesome! I'll be there for sure!
|
Sweetness, going to have to see if I can get this off :D
|
|
|
How big is this room on the first floor?
|
Nice, Was a bit hard to see from a lot of spots last time, and the whole other side had room.
Look forward to it, Toronto BarCraft rocks.
|
I really want to go! we'll see though!
|
If i dont end up going to Montreal that weekend for a wedding ill be there unless if i really need to keep studying. Damn you midterms starting around that week!!
|
Is it worth going there alone? None of my friends seem to care much about SC2.
|
It's always worth going. You'll be amongst friends.

Buddy I've gone alone to most every event and made so many new friends in the sc2 world... it's epic
|
oh crap! i just moved to spadina and college, im coming for sure! been working 6 days a week, but guess which day i have off!! =) im gunna pop my barcraft cherry LOL
|
Agree. I just showed up to one of the theater events, and within about 30 seconds of walking in had a group see I was alone and wave me over to their seats and ask me what race i played etc...
Another time a bunch of us stayed drinking at Molly Bloom's until they shut it down and I met a bunch of folks. It's easy because everyone's got that common ground of the game.
you've also got some kind of icebreaking stuff, like Galleon getting people to tell rage stories or stuff like that. It's a fun environment
|
|
|
I'm not sure what I'm more pumped about, More streams for MLG or more floors at the Victory Cafe.
|
I'm almost sure I'll be there, I really hope nothing gets in the way like the last couple events I've said I would come>.<

I'd like to try and come this time since it seems like such a great event. Any tips on how to get there from mississauga via transit? Or possibly the utm shuttle bus?

Adebisi is casting for one of the MLG streams, might be hard for him to be there

Is there a facebook event for this? Would make it easier to invite my non-starcrafty friends ^_^

Adebisi should be casting from Victory Cafe, imo.
|
I'll have to see if I can make it, I was pissed that I was sick last time.
|
|
|
Sweet after trying to get to every single one of these, my schedule(I swear I'll lose my mind if I jynx this) might actually line up to allow me to come :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
|
If anyone is making the trip from London let me know!!! I'll help pay for gas =D
|
Will probably go to this one!
|
|
|
|
|
People already know where the local E-Sports community will be ^_^
|
So what time should I realistically show up then? I got there at 4:30pm for the last viewing and it was PACKED.
|
Wow been waiting for this...LOVE Toronto Barcraft will definatly be there!!!
|
I will be there as long as its not tvt
|
Going to repost this for the UofT Starcraft Club!

any1 going from the hamilton area? rly hoping for a ride there
|
|
|
anyone from kitchener-waterloo plan on going and can spare a seat?!?
|
How weird would it be for me to show up solo? I don't know anyone else going to this event, but I'm looking to just hang out and watch the finals with a bunch of other SC FANATICS!
No but serious, I'm interested in meeting others who share the same passion for SC that I do. I hope that it'll be easy to walk in with my Day9 shirt and find a spot and just talk it up!

Go Bus ftw! If you guys some long hair nerds, being loud and having a few drinks at the back of the bus feel free to come say hi and bug us for a drink

So awesome! I think to myself, I wonder if there is any barcraft in Toronto. I google it, and 1 min later I find an event 4 days away and a 2min walk from my apartment. Love it!!

Aw, damn I wish it was downtown Toronto, an area more accessible by TTC. T_T
Well if anyone has a ride and lives in Downtown Toronto (UofT Campus) Area, please give me a PM! I can definitely help with gas money, et.

Uhhh, isn't this super downtown+accessible by TTC...? Are you thinking of the one at St. Louis in Markham? This is right by the Bathurst station, even though it's on Markham street.

I have work on Sunday till 2PM however I may go later. I will also more than likely be driving with my brother so I will have about 3 spots in the car. I live around Islington and Eglington area and I'm willing to pick up along the BLOOR subway line. I will confirm my carpool by tomorrow
EXCITED!!!
|
FRIGGIN PUMPED

if you bring enough friends, yes...
(to be decided by amount of cash in my wallet at time of submittion -- anyone may enter contest -- each winner will raise the bar for further free beers -- girls count x2 -- quebec residests may not enter)
@slap- looks matter nothing for meeting sc2 fans
@gahx I thought you had my back bro!
EDIT
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
PUMPED
LETS DO THIS ALREADY !!!!
|
Gonna be showing up around 6 after I'm done work.
When you see the giant with glasses and a stash' walk in, be sure to say hi.
|
should i bring my laptop?
|
I have a ride back. Need to find a way to get there from Brampton since I'm drinking.
|
Yo, message from chromate. Our third laptop is broken, if someone can bring one so we can setup the downstairs projector. A little late, but I believe in the Internet
|
Tremendous event guys :D who would've thought it would've ended up being so packed!
and I even scored a mousepad out of the deal with a nice catch as it sailed over people's heads into the crowd. :D
|
Agreed, I was only there for about 2 hours but it was so much fun! I can't wait for the next one, maybe GSL Finals?
|
any news about a Blizzcon+GSL viewing party next Saturday? They'll both be during prime time hours for Toronto.
Any downtown Toronto venues that are easy to get to from campus?

they announced it at the MLG event-- there IS a blizzcon viewing party, it will be at a cyber cafe... *ahem* a LICENSED cyber cafe, but I don't quite know who to contact regarding specifics, I'm sure chromate would know though.
they also mentioned a canada esports organization that would be the umbrella organization for hosting events like these, and to contact if we were interested in being involved. Which I definitely am!
|
detials on blizz con event asap!!!
|
Thanks for putting together another successful viewing Chromate. It was a blast!
|
This was a fun event and a really baller venue. The bartender was a good guy. Seating was... less than ideal, but whatever. Some friendly nerds let me and my bud squeeze in on a bench without any foot room so we shared some nachos (thanks Doug).
Hopefully the next venue has an easier AV setup for the production guys, it looked like they were fighting quite the battle. Thanks for your hard work, gentlemen!
|
Awesome event everyone thanks for coming out!!
ALSO biggest thanks goes out to chromate/crew for once again throwing a FINE event!! Like I said to the COOL PEOPLE who stuck around after the finals to drink and chat... chromate is like the mom at a family gathering that makes all the food and slaves in the kitchen then doesn't even sit down to eat with the family. Guys running around all event putting out fires and barely gets to enjoy the event... give him a mighty bro-fist the next time you see him.. or SEND HIM A FUCKING PM. You owe HIM For the fun you had, bitches.
Something is definitely taking place this sat(?) for the blizzcon event.. looks like it will be a different location.. one with farrr more space and more accessible seating/viewing =)
When I know I will let you guys know asap!
*edit personal info out*
Thanks again for coming out guys... NOT coming to these events is killing e sports. Trollolololol
-Chief
|
Definitely more people went to this event, lots of new faces. Can't wait for the Blizzcon Barcraft (if there is any).
|
|
|
Nice pics you guys got! I'd love to come next time with a good Camera and capture some action shots of everyone because the crowd we had at the Cafe was awesome, I've never been more pumped watchng Starcraft since Huk won Dreamhack! ...I was the guy standing and screaming Huks name when he won...I really get into these games lol.
|
yo yo My buds and I were first timers and loved it, we're looking forward to the blizzcon event lets dooo it!
|
Typing while taking a cold shower to keep my temp down.
Someone/something at the viewing got me sick :...(
|
I dunno if you guys saw these but I think we can do better in Toronto!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/marko1234/sets/72157627795032939/
Start bringing all your friends to help support Toronto Barcraft, even if they don't watch it or play at a low level/just for fun, convince them to come out! Starcraft is easily on of the BEST E-Sports of all time and bringing them to a Barcraft is the way to get them hooked! I'm definitely going to be bringing as many friends as I can to the next event.
|
Does anyone know who I should contact to get in touch with the eSports Canada people?
I don't mind helping out with them and I spoke with someone after the Barcraft about it (Alex?). I gave him my business card but I feel I should be a bit more proactive with getting in contact with them.
