Are most people going to this one, or the one at kickoff's? I went to kickoff's last time and I'm not really sure where to go, now.
|
The last one E-Sports Canada had was at Molly Blooms in Waterloo and we had about 35 people show up. We gave away some prizes and everyone had a great time. We hope to see you there!
Last Waterloo Event

Are you kidding me? That is like literally the easiest spot to bus too. It's uptown waterloo..grab an iXpress, or any 7, and it goes right past. You just probably have to switch buses.. which is no problem since you get a transfer :s
Yeah I just checked, both the 201 and the 4 go directly to a place where you can catch a bus to uptown with like 30 secs of walking. Get off at erb on the 201 to catch the 5, or get off on king from the 4 to catch the 7s/ixpress. And on sundays to get back home the 201's last stop in your area is around 12:15..

Well for the record...
I sent the Waterloo CSL coordinator an email on September 9th saying we were doing something for MLG on Oct 16 and asked if they would like to take part or help out ( I have emails as proof).

"Hi Steve,
Thanks for the prompt reply, we are organizing a spectating event on
October 16 in Waterloo and would like it if you could come out and see
what we are up too. Perhaps a few of the players on your team would be
interested in coming out to socialize with the community and have a good
time. We are also looking to organize some tournaments in the future as
well. I can provide you with more details if you are interested and
perhaps we can work together on a few things? I Look forward to your
response.
Regards,
Ken"
I received no response after that. Now they have gone and made a post a day after us for a different event, oh and its down the street... This will not help ESports events grow in this area. Hopefully we can come to an arrangement that will combine the events at McMullan's in light of the clear attempts to work together (way in advance) on our part.

Sold. Kickoff's is kinda small anyways.
|
Kickoffs can hold like.. 25 people max? Lol. And they have shit chairs and shit tvs. :/ And afaik no kitchen..
|
I just want to clear up a bit of misinformation.
1. Waterloo CSL did not start the event at Kickoff. Please don't blame them -- they're nice guys.
2. Myself and another person had our first event for MLG Anaheim. We skipped MLG Raleigh because Kickoff was closed for staff vacations. Now we're continuing for MLG Orlando.
3. Our MLG Orlando event has been planned since early September as well, and was made public September 26th.
4. Kickoff can hold 39 people. Their TVs are new flat screens. Chairs weren't that bad. Beer selection is the most diverse in town.
From my point of view it is too late to cancel either event and merge into one. I have made promises to my venue as I'm sure you have as well.
GohgamX, I messaged you on August 25th (through Team Liquid) about BarCrafts in the Waterloo region. I also promoted your MLG Raleigh event through the Facebook page I've set up and through Reddit. Not once have I been contact by yourself or Chromate -- until today.
To anyone thinking about attending a viewing event: Go to one please! I don't care which, just support eSports and we'll work this out for the future. Cheers.
|
Thank you sevenDeer for clarifying all the information for others to see! Please don't blame CSL for anything regarding this BarCraft as Waterloo CSL is not directly involved. 
That being said, [most of] the Waterloo CSL Team will be going off to Kickoff's. No favouritism -- It's just closer to most of us.
It really doesn't matter which event you go to for MLG Orlando! If anything, I'm sure sevenDeer and chromate can talk about organizing future, much larger events. If so, I'm sure some of the folks at Waterloo CSL will be very happy to support and assist in any events! Just support e-sports and get the word out.
I'm just really happy that sevenDeer and chromate are taking a big role in e-sports by organizing BarCraft events! +1
EDIT: Spelling.

I'm in Kitchener, not really that far(Same city tbh) If I get back in town on time, Ill definitely show up. Cheers!

Thanks for clearing up any confusion. We want to work together and make the best possible E-Sports events. McMullan's has a capacity of 225 so if there's any overflow please do not hesitate to come by and watch the games here. Next time well have everyone together in one place ^_^
|
I'll probably go to kickoffs just because it's a more convenient location, but hope you guys get a good turnout there!
|
Is there an age restriction? I know I can't go to the other one because it's 19+. Since it's a pub, I assume that I won't be able to go to this one either >_>
|
Oh yeah i think im coming. Its very close to me so thats good. See you all there.
|
It's a Sunday during the day so if your under 19 you can watch the games,eat food and drink pop <(-_-)>

They'll only ID you if you ask for an alcoholic beverage

By finals you mean , final game (best of three that they do at MLG?) or you mean final whole day of mlg, that features championship bracket?

I linked to this thread on the Facebook page for the Kickoff event earlier today in hopes doing just that. Looking forward to this weekend a lot. Good luck at McMullan's!

The event is starting at 4:30pm EST so just the winners, losers, and championship finals will be shown -- not the entire final day.

Laurier's CSL team will probably be going to Kickoff after the game at 4. If it's fill, I'll drive some people to the other venue
|
Is there going to be a Waterloo viewing party for Blizzcon 2011 and GSL Code S October double finals?
|
i am def at mcmullens, it's one of the best bars in town and as far as im concerned location doesnt really matter when it comes to quality of service and comfort.
i will see you guys at mcmullz tonight rocking my TL shirt!
|
Awesome event last night guys, had an awesome time, hope you guys keep up the good work!
|
Good turn out last night. Was good venue and awesome event.
|
Thanks for the event Mulleys, great time!
Is there going to be a barcraft for GSL/Blizzcon this weekend?

afaik short term events like this would be hard to plan on a saturday. From the bars perspective, they love having events on sundays, as those are bad sales days. Saturdays are good sales days, so to commit to an event they'd have to see some sort of commitment to numbers, which is pretty hard to do in just one week for a barcraft.

Is there going to be a Waterloo event? I won't be in Toronto this weekend. UWaterloo has a pretty good sized Starcraft community and they could get Guelph people to come too.
