Woah in Mannheim? I'm not that far away!! I'd totally come over if it got organized. I can't suggest a bar or provide any investment or effort xD ( I'm poor and a physics student, too much to do and no money D: ) But I'm here to say I'd come!!!
|
Mannheim would be great, i study here!
Dont know a bar that would do a Barcraft-Event, we just have to see if more people get involved i guess.
I would organize some things, i think thats no problem. 1 1/2 months to go till finals.
|
Sounds awesome and I'd definately join, even though I live like 250km away. Unfortunately I'm not at home at the time. Since I support any of the barcraft events and I'm looking forward to any barcraft to attend to: My 2 cents on your questions.
1. Locations: I guess for the first events there won't be more than 10-20 (SC2-) people attending. So look out for a small or decent bar with TVs which is willing to give it a shot. If you have a room for 10-20 people, a decent TV or can borrow a beamer (e.g. from university) you can do it at home as well. I'm thinking about doing this myself in Giessen (Hessen).
2. Putting effort into it: Yes, but only in Hessen ;-)...
Keep it up!
|
Eeeeeeeeeeexcellent! I guess I'm gonna take a walk through Mannheim and find a suitable place for the event, then!
I sent everyone of you a PM for further coordination and mobilization purposes.
|
Would be interested live 1h away from Mannheim but sorry I currently don't have time to organize something and don't have any experience concerning this.
|
Me neither but i guess we all went to a lan-party at some time, its just the same i think.
If you need help Caracas say something.
|
I have some experience in event organization. The most important thing will be spreading the word so that enough people come to participate. Everyone talks to their friend's, I_ll tap my connections to the nerd community in the region and we should have a Bar fullö of Starcraft, good luck and have fun!
|
Hey a Barcraft in Mannheim would be great :D I would be there and up to 4 friends maybe more.
|
|
|
Sign me up, i dont know if i have the time to help organizing and stuff. Just send me a pm if you need help and ill see if i can help you.
|
I would love to attend a barcraft-event in the region, i live like 40 minutes away, dont really know any suitable Bars though and am really short on time aswell
|
I would love to be invited, maybe i can talk to 1 or 2 friends to come too, but i'm sorry that i can't help 'cause i don't go often to bars or equals
|
Hey, my father is living close to Mannheim. Would be great if i will get an invite when further Informations are up. Maybe i can organize myself to be there in time.
Thanks for the great idea and efforts!!
|
Sounds great! Just check this thread. I'll be posting any updates here.
|
Would be useful to open up threads in the major german community sites to get this better promoted
|
Feel free to link it there!
|
|
|
Im moving to Mannheim in december!
|
Hey Hey,
living in Pforzheim, ~100km away from Mannheim. Just talked to my roommate and we 2 are looking forward to come to Mannheim for some Barcraft-action
|
Hey! I'm living in Heidelberg, so I would also join a barcraft in Mannheim! I just moved here, so I unfortunately can't recommend a bar either.
|
Sounds good, will drop by if possible!
|
Living near Frankfurt, would definetly be interested and might be able to help with things if need be-
|
I would come with more than 5 friends! Working here in Mannheim.
|
I'm in Spangdahlem which isnt to far. Would love to attend a Barcraft event.
|
I'm in Karlsruhe for 6 month, will be there xD
|
|
|
Very well, seems like there's more than enough people interested, will be strolling through Mannheim this week to find a suitable location with willing and hopefully enthusiastic hosts^^ I for one am STOKED after that MLG last weekend :D
|
Living near Darmstadt, would definitely attend and would maybe bring some friends!
|
Might be interested as well. Can't promise though.
|
Yes yes yes yes. Are you guys German btw? I'm here for a year doing my exchange.
|
|
|
yeeah barcraft in Mannheim! i'm also interested :-)
|
|
|
|
|
Near Darmstadt here, I could probably get some friends interested too.
|
OP: if you need any sort of help, let me know by PM. I'm not a native speaker though, so dunno how much good I would do. 
(I have a brand new laptop with HDMI out though, for what it's worth.)
|
I live in Mainz, currently studying here in Germany, just checked the distance and it's like 60km's so I'd totally love to come, I was mighty envious of all the ppl who watched MLG Orlando at various Barcraft events.
|
Hi all, It´s really a great idea because SC is such a fun and watchting it with friends would be awsome. I may have an location for us all in Mannheim-North. There is no public transportation. So, are you all coming by car? We have a 180m² basement room. We have a 3m canvas, but it´s not installed yet. We could need a HD-Beamer, becaus we yust have a standard one. have a nice day Axel
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/r55h8.jpg)
|
nice, but sadly I can't come by car (I'd come with a friend) Is there no bus stop or train station near?
|
hi!
ich werd mal in Deutsch schreiben, da mein englisch ein bischen eingerostet ist. In Mannheim gibt es das Studentenwohnheim im Ulmenweg.
Die Studentenkneipe dort, das GeZet, hat die Möglichkeit relativ Leute dort unterzubringen. Je nach Anzahl kann man sogar das streaming event in die angeschlossene Turnhalle verlegen.
Ich bin nicht nicht mehr in mannheim, würde euch aber empfehlen bei denen mal anzufragen, ob das vllt geht. Der Ort ist mit Bus und Bahn super zu erreichen. Parkmöglichkeiten gibs zuhaus, Getränke sind günstig und die Crew ist super nett.
http://www.ulmenweg.de/index.php?ctrl=gzetmain&lang=de
Vll wohn ja jmd im Ulmenweg, der kann ja mal anfragen. Ansonsten, kann ich auch mal schauen ob ich noch nen alten Kontakt herstellen kann.
|
any updates?
|
I am afraid not, due to me spending the last week in hospital ... But I am still - or rather again - on it!

OH YEAH since i heard of Barcraft I waited for A Thread to pop up with a city nearby. i live like 10 minutes away so mannheim would be perfect. as a location suggest there is a youth center (JUZ) near the alten feuerwache. a friend of mine told me that everyone whos got a good concept and organizes evrything by themselves can use their rooms for partys so they got a bar n stuff. also theres no government involved the whole JUZ thing is ruled by the people. gona try and talk to them these days mb they like it
|
I'm in the Mainz/Darmstadt/Frankfurt Area and I would definitely be interested to stop by if anything happens. It's just an hour ride by train so it wouldn't be a problem to get down there.
|
hey I'd love barcraft in Mannheim and would definitely come as long as I've got time. If it's not too much work I'd also like to help you. Btw. I'm living in Heidelberg.
|
Thanks for the concern, but yeah, I'm back at 100% now

Hi, I would love a Barcraft event in the mannheim area. It might not be much but I can help with organisation etc.. I'm living in Heidelberg, so if you need some assistance drop a PM
|
PM me if you need manpower for anything.
|
I'd definitely come along if you get something going in Mannheim!
|
Hey, I'm from Heidelberg. Barcraft in Mannheim would be awesome! So let me know when I can help in some way. @Other Heidelberg people: You can PM me. Maybe we can meet in Heidelberg and go to the event together.
|
|
|
Waiting for one more reply from a potential place for the event. Should be able to announce everything during the coming week.
|
Nice!
|
My friends and I would love to join you at BarCraft - I really hope this will will work.
If you need any support feel free to PM me! (I live just 5minutes away from Mannheim and got a good HD beamer...)
|
Well, that HD beamer could come in VERY handy!
|
are there any updates on this one?
|
There is a barcraft in Stuttgart being organized right now for DreamHack, since Stuttgart is closer to me I'll propably prefer Stuttgart over Mannheim, so count me in as eventually.
|
Good luck to you in organising that!
It's funny (or depressing) that when a thread about a barcraft in Germany opens it turns out to be awesome but when one opens about a barcraft in France everybody just speak French and it gets shut down xD
|
Okay, these are tha facts:
We are going to do the first "BarCraft Rhein-Neckar" on Sunday, 27th of November, showing the finals of Dreamhack Winter. The Venue will be provided by ojojoMannheim (see his post on page 2 of this thread ) and LFish will provide an HD beamer for the event. I didn't find a schedule for Dreamhack Winter yet, but as soon as I find it (or as soon as it is published), a starting time for the viewing will be posted here. Since drinks and chairs need to be organized, I am opening another thread. Please post there, if you want to attend and with how many others, so that everything can be provided in sufficient numbers. More information on how to get to the venue will be posted by ojojoMannheim shortly in the new thread.
edited for correct MONTH >.<
|
Well, okay, no new thread. So please RSVP here.
|
im moving to mannheim the week after that lol --..--
|
great that this is going to work thanks caracas ! I could provide some beers no chairs but first i need to know exactly where the location is so i can make sure how much I ll be able to carry...
Also heres the bad ass lookin pic of the venue ojojoMannheim posted earlyer:
|
No thanks needed, just doing my part for e-sports  Sadly, I wasn't able to invest as much time as I had liked to, and the few random Bars I contacted weren't all too eager to host the event. But having a host who also is enthusiastic about the idea is infinite times better than a bar owner whose arm had to be twisted into hosting. To make matters worse, it looks like I won't be able to attend myself due to circumstances beyond my control (work, work).

Adress Update
The Room is located in
Walter-Bothe-Strasse 12 68619 Mannheim
|
Consider put together a facebook event and group for Mannheim please!
|
I live in Kaiserslautern. I may be interested but im american so i dont speak german ;/ hard for me to communicate sometimes.
|
|
|
srsly ? this is awesome. i created a teamliquid account a few seconds ago just for writing in this thread :D
i live in Bad Schönborn, near Wiesloch and not so far away from Heidelberg. I´ll be there for 100%. Looking forward to further informations

Communication should be no problem, considering the posts in this thread alone. Most participants should be speaking sufficient english for you to join in and have a good time (especially after a few beers ). If there are any questions, feel free to shoot me a PM.

Facebook page Can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/BarCraft-Mannheim-Heidelberg-Rhein-Neckar/117712688337136
Public transport Nearest local transport station is Luzenberg. If coming by regional train, you can travel to Mannheim-Luzenberg
From Mannheim Hbf (central railway station) You can get there easily taking the Straßenbahn (the tram). Both no. 1 (direction Schönau) and no. 3 (direction Sandhofen) stop at Luzenberg, and take about 15 minutes.
From Luzenberg It's about a 2km walk, so estimate 20 minutes here. (Google maps link: http://g.co/maps/rzw7b). Bus no. 53 will take you about halfway there (direction: MA Kurpfalzbrücke, but it's only every 30 mins or so. If you choose to take it, get off at Weidenwörth).
1. Find out where the water is, and cross the bridge (:D). Keep walking for about 10 minutes. 2. Take the 3rd left onto Einsteinstr., you should be seeing loads of trailers on your right. (Waypoint: ). 3. Finally, make a right when you see the Warnecke warehouse: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/GWQjj.jpg) 4. Follow the road for like 2 mins, hopefully there are some signs up at this point! Maybe a live model of Kerrigan?!
That should be it - if I've made any major mistakes feel free to point them out and/or PM me, and I'll update this.
|
Sweet directions!! I'm going to go ahead and RSVP now. I'll be heading out from Kaiserslautern, if there's anybody else interested in going from there we could meet up at the Hbf and go together. Let me know
|
Im in too and its a good idea to meet up cause its so far away. Lets do that.
|
yeah good idea.
is there anybody coming from the other direction, so from karlsruhe, bruchsal, heidelberg, wiesloch ? if yes, let me know
another suggestion, cause most of us have to change trains in mannheim hbf, or at least exit in mannheim, it would be a nice idea i think if we gather there
|
gahtering together at Mannheim sounds like a great idea because i jump onto the train from Kaiserslautern somwhere on the way. is there allready an official schedule? so we can meet up like 1 hour before it starts and grab the tram together, also walking alone the 3 kms to the venue seems boring 
on a sidenote whatya guys intend to bring to drink? I think I ll roll with 5,0 / 2,5 Beers... lots of them... for the start mb some becks or so pumped for it!

Since it doesn't seem like they'll be providing beer. I'm just going to fill my backpack up with 5,0's.
THEY RAISED THE PRICE OF 5,0 BY 6 CENTS A CAN TODAY!!! WTF!!! 0,39 to 0,45... Such bullshit...
Also, since I don't know what time I need to be there yet I have no idea for when I want to take the train. But whenever this information becomes available we can plan out which one we want to take and how to meet/find each other.

|
+ Show Spoiler +Wait so we should be there on Saturday? I'm kind of confused!!! I'll be coming whenever it is tho
EDIT: Silly me. Yea so I'll be there on Saturday... Not sure about Friday I'm kind of tight on money...

Hard day canvas installed Room cleand Seats and Tabels installed it takes only a few hours and we are ready
|
Hi all,
as you can see in the OP The event is on Saturday only! We focus on one day and are all looking forward to it
On the FacebookPage http://www.facebook.com/SpielzimmerMannheim you will find some more pics of the location. It´s just a big room in a basement, but i hope you like it.
cu
|
i thought this to be on sunday so I will only be able to get there kinda late, hopefully around the time the quake final starts.
since the sc2 final starts at 23 cet it will most likely not end before 1 o clock or so... my concern is how to get home at such a late time because the tram/trains etc arent availabel??? or we just gona do aftershow till the mornin ? xD
|
sorry I can't make it  have fun though!
|
@WaZup
maybe i´ll come with my car if the train situation becomes a serious problem^^ Then i could offer to drive those of you home, who live nearby Mannheim and Heidelberg.

I will probably come by car aswell. sadly I have to attend the university on Saturday so I can't join you early and help out.
for future events I could maybe bring a SD projector (1024x768) from work as backup. my own HD projector is firmly mounted onto the ceiling of my living room ;-)

i have some questions: - bring your own beer? or do you really have enough beer for thirsty men? how much for a beer or Jägermeister? - how many seats do you have and something else than Bierbänke? - is it allowed to smoke inside? - do you need a confirmation for everybody whos coming?
if you dont answer this questions, werde ich dich so lange auf dem Telefon terrorisieren bis du drangehst
|
Hi blavonblub,
- we have some beer. and stuff: everything 2,-€ - Jägermeister is a good idea - smoking inside: the air conditioning only works 50% in the moment (will hopefully be fixed next week) but if no one minds ... - an information on our doodle list would be fine, but is not needed
:-) ups, i dont know where my phone is, did you try?

|

I could not find any address data in the first post, so am I assuming correctly that the address is something like:
Warnecke Warehouse Einsteinstr. XX Mannheim Neckarstadt-west
??
|
Walter-Bothe-Strasse 12 68619 Mannheim
We install some signs, so it would be easyer to find.
|
naaaaw, the description ist fine, Pics are really helpful for the last meters. It's just that I was missing the address in the first post to feed my navigation system 
Will try to tag along tonite, thanks !

@all
bitte nehmt den Seiteneingang zwischen Walter-Bothe-Str. 12 und 14 use side-entry between Walter-Bothe-Str. 12 and 14

hi all,
if you liked it -like i really did- then pls "like us" on facebook :-)
http://www.facebook.com/SpielzimmerMannheim
I will post new events there.
If you made any pictures or videos, please send them to mail@yupiter.de, thank you
see u all soon

some things i want to share with all TL users:
- i was at both barcraft Darmstadt and at the public viewing in Mannheim and both were awesome events - in Mannheim we were 30 people i think. about 20 of us came for the dreamhack stream - the rest just enjoyed the evening with some drinks and poker - but although we were so few, i feel like it was a very fun event and i met some interesting people - i'm really looking forward to future events like this - it doesnt matter how simple the location is, how few you are and how hard you have to improvise - just get together and watch (or even play) some StarCraft!
and now to give you an impression of how informal "BarCraft" Mannheim was:
Horrible Quality Video
|
As soon as the torunament dates for 2012 are released, planning for BarCraft Mannheim will commence! So check back here for updates.
|
I'm so in next time! Can help organising, too!
|
Next Time, it would become better, much better. We are working on it. At the first time we tried, now we know the problems.
|
OK next time become better

I just returned from a visit to another location in Mannheim. It's a bar on the grounds of a student's hostel run by students themselves. That means, among other things, that the prices for the drinks are more than affordable. We'll be showing the finals of MLG Winter Championship via beamer. There have already been public viewings of soccer in the past. The only thing pendingt, is a test of the wireless LAN, how much bandwidth it can support over several hours without lag at critical moments like, say, the final micro battle of the last match for the championship!
The location can be reached via Bus from Mannheim main train station. Line 60. It takes about 15 minutes, in addition of a walk from the bus stop to the bar, which took me 1 minute.
If you strongly consider going to the event, it'd be nice, if you could mention it here or via PM at me, so that I can give the people over there a rough estimate of what they should expect.
The location is the following:
GeZet im Ulmenweg 55 Mannheim-Neckarstadt Bushaltestelle "Ulmenweg" http://www.ulmenweg.de/index.php?ctrl=gzetmain&lang=de http://www.facebook.com/gezet.ulmenweg
Date: March, 25th (finals of Winter Championship).
We'll see how many people show up, and if everything goes well, we'll do other such events with maybe all three days of competition. So, show up! 
To be continued.
edit: not Winter Arena, Winter Championship.
|
MLG Winter Arena? So You will be showing Vods? When is it? Because I have exams this week then Im on vacation for 2 weeks, but I'd love to come (it's like 20 mins with bike from my appartment :D)
|
Oh, sorry. I mean Winter Championship of course. Edited in the post above. But, as i wrote above, only the finals, so only sunday. At least for this first event^^
|
I think that will work for me , though Im not sure wether I write an exam on the following monday .. which would mean I could not stay until the very end.
|
i am definitly going to be there!
|
|
|
I will try to be there! Lot's of love from someone who has been there the first time. Thanks for organizing
|
|
|
Yeah, still waiting for the results of the 'bandwidth-test"^^
|
Updated OP with info for the next event.

MLG timetable:
Sunday 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM Warm-Up 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM Championship Losers Round 3 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Championship Losers Round 4 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Championship Winners Semifinals A / Losers Round 5 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM Championship Winners Semifinals B / Losers Round 6 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM Championship Winners Finals / Losers Round 7 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM Championship Losers Round 8 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM Championship Losers Round 9 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM Championship Losers Finals 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM Championship Finals http://pro.majorleaguegaming.com/competitions/30#event_85_event-schedule

Could someone with a facebook account please post a comment and/or link to this thread on BarCraft Germany?
|
"Bandwidth test" with stream at 720p successful. BarCraft proceeding as planned!
|
|
|
We are now listed in the TL BarCraft finder. Yay :D
|
Awww man why couldn't we have had one of these last year? Now I'm back home in Australia... might be coming back sometime though. I bumped into HasuObs at the East restaurant in Paradeplatz once, that was cool!
|
okay im definitely coming Im so pumped!
|
I will try to be there too. Looking forward to it.
|
Nice to see the positive feedback! The more people show up, the better the chances for future BarCrafts
|
I will be there too. Can't wait to drinking beer and watching some good zerg pwange!
|
I'm in again of course!
If you need any help - just PM me...

Barcraft #2 in good old Mannheim 
I´ll most likely be there ;-)

I could avoid making an account up until now. Maybe I'll find some volunteer who dares enter the festering pit that is known as ... facebook!

Okay, just returned from BarCraft Mannheim II. It was a complete and utter success! The location was very good, the people enthusiastic, the mood very positive and the only feedback i got was that everyone had a fun time watching SCII. Over the day, we hat about 50 participants, which ist quite a good number for an event with such short notice and so little promotion, if I may say so myself.
There were two technical problems, one regarding some noise in the sound system, whose source we couldn't isolate ... yet. The other was occasional lag at very anticlimactic moments. We'll be using another connection the next time.
Theanks again to everyone who made this an experience worth remembering.
The next BarCraft Mannheim will be the IPL4 finals on April 8th, starting at 17:00h. Be there or be square!
|
Cool event, I'll be there in 2 weeks again. Just try and get a faster/more stable connection next time if possible. It also was a bit hard to find at first (I literally walked right past 2 times) but with the picture right now and maybe a sign that isn't just a paper plate taped to a tree I think it'll be fine. Anyway I definitely recommend it to everyone living anywhere near Mannheim. The drinks were really cheap, someone ordered pizzas to share and the first row of seats were actually couches  Also if someone needs a ride up to or back home next time, I'm coming from Landau/Neustadt and will most likely have 3 open seats in my car.
|
I really enjoyed being there. Mad props to Caracas for organizing! Also thanks to the guys who brought pizza and to everybody for sharing the HQ pass costs! <3 Too bad I had to go when it started to get really tense. I hope I can come again next time. C ya there.
|
[EMERGENCY PRIORITY MESSAGE] As more and more people realized that IPL4 is the weekend of easter, the list of likely participants became shorter and shorter. This developed up to the point where it seems reasonable to cancel the IPL4 BarCraft. We will announce the next BarCraft as soon as possible, and in the meantime, take action to improve the venue to have a much bettert experience next time. I am very sorry about this development, but in the intoxication of last event's success, nobody thought of that. I count on your understanding and hope to see you at the next event, we will announce it as soon as possible. Stay tuned!

I'd love a barcraft in Mannheim!
|
We are currently checking if the venue is available for Spüring Arena or if they are showing soccer. Another question is the interest level for another BarCraft despite the fact of the european championships in soccer with the german team playing on the same day (as far as I am informed). So, if you would attend instead of watching soccer somewhere else, just post it here so we can judge if it would be worthwhile
|
- i would love to take part in another barcraft - as far as i know the only football games on june, 10th are spain/italy and ireland/croatia. - the interesting football game (spain/italy) starts already at 18:00. maybe we could even view that before starting the mlg stream
|
Germany plays against Portugal on 9th of June. Maybe avoid that day.
|
10th of June is the day in question. and if I "translate" the event's times correctly, we'd start at about 20:00h. Everything seems "compatible", I'll contact the venue, If soccer might be shown before. But I doubt that'll be a problem. Stay tuned for updates this weekend.
|
Sadly, I have to inform you, that there wont be another BarCraft on June 10th. Due to upvoming tests at the university, there just wasnt enough time to fix the problems regarding bandwidth yet, which is kind of a big problem. Sorry again, and I'll keep trying, that much is certain. Many apologies for the disappointment :|
|
|
|
I am not on fb and that won't change anytime soon.
|
Apart from not taking place in the period of June 8th to June 10th, is there already a date for the next event?
And I also would like to ask everybody to join the Facebook site indicated/mentioned above - for those that have and like to have Facebook obviously, that is!
|
I am afraid, the venue is still struggling with the internet connection, as I learned yesterday. Thus, I'll be looking at another location later this week.
|
awesome - can't wait to see everybody from the last event again and some additional people as well!
|
Yeah, me too. Tried it several times now but something always came up. And as long as there's no stable and sufficient internet connection, I'd rather not try it again. But as I said, will look at other options (that worked very well for soccer^^).
|
hm well but the last time, it worked okay in my opinion
|
Complaints about the internet connection was the number one item in all the feedback I got from a number of participants. There is an option to fix it, but it's more complicated than we thought at the end of the last one.
|
Another question, might there be a possibility to get in touch with all the people that attended the last event? I know that somebody lives very close to me in the Quadrate, in D-something or something like that. One could watch something together then, even though there is no Barcraft
|
Anything other than that post of yours ... no idea :o
|
|
|
You are talking about the 26th of August, right?
|
Yeah, this always happenst to me >.<
|
Hey guys,
I'm thinking of attending this barcraft, but the thing is, I've never been to one before - is it necessary to know a lot about the game? I watch tournament streams on occasion, but apart from the single player I rarely play the game, think I did a total of 30 ladder games so far...
|
Just show up, meet other StarCraft-loving nerds, have something to drink enjoy the matches, cheer, rage, shout, feel good. The matches are commentated and the game is VERY watchable even without deep and Master Yoda-esque knowledge of everything SC2
|
I think I'll show up aswell. How many people are expected to be there (How many where there at any barcraft so far)?
|
The last time it was about 60 over the entire day. But this time, the BarCraft will be much shorter (because we start later), which might influence the number of potential attendees. The promotion will be .. existent this time, which might also have a Considerable effect
|
|
|
I liked The Barcraft site on Facebook so i got the news of this. great the manheim location is still existant! luckily nothing scheduled right now for the 26. so hopefully i will be able to attend this time.
but the page of the gezet doesn t give that much away about the place itself... is it BYOB or like a real bar? on a side note how about smokin ? 
best regards
|
The GeZet is a student's bar run by students in their free time. Prices are very humane, student's-budget-compatible so to speak. As the don't charge us with anything, It'd be only fair to buy your drinks there, and lots if possible!  Smoking is absolutely permitted.
|
Anybody going to Gamescom in Cologne? (sorry about being off-topic, I actually wanted to erase this post but that isn't possible as it appears.. ^^)
|
Reminder: BarCraft this sunday! Be there or be square

Sounds cool, I hope I can make it in time!
|
I will be back in Mannheim from September 20th - Dezember 10th hopefully there will be some barcrafts then, as I enjoyed it last time I was there. Unfortunately I cant come this time  Thanks for organizing Caracas
|
Well, Dreamhack Valencia happens September 22nd to 23rd. We shall see
|
That'd be great  Anyways for now, enjoy this one !
|
Next one on September 16th, WCS Europe Finals, starting 19:00h. More information on the front page and shortly on facebook.
It's a new venue, so spread the word, participate and have a few drinks 
Soccer will be shown that sunday until it's over, which sould be around 19:00h. But there wont be any problems because they have multiple screens/beamers, which could come in handy for tournaments with multiple streams!
More information coming soon.
|
so close ^^ anyways how was the last one?
|
Sadly, contrary to what I had been told before i scheduled another event, the problems with the internet connection made another appearence, so ... meh :| That's the reason why I went looking for another venue.
|
Ah I see , too bad :/ Good luck with this one though
|
Gonna test, how many streams can be shown at the same time possibly this weekend. Location is great, watched soccer there a few times, it's near public transportation and the prices are fine. What could possibly go wrong!?
|
|
|
I'd love to go. Is anyone coming from Mainz? I'll be there over the weekend and could make a stop in Mannheim on my way back to Stuttgart. Would be pretty convenient actually.
|
Reminder: BarCraft at new location next week for WCS Europe Finals!
|
... Blizzard promotion support ain't bad ...
|
sounds nice. I hope I will be able to come, depends on the work left over on the weekend...
|
Blizzard also sent me some items for a raflle. So another reason to attend!

|

|
It's in the Rheinpfalz. I had contacted the local newspapers approx two weeks before the event and asked to announce it. One day before the BarCraft my phone rang and a reporter asked when it yould be best to ettend. We got lucky I guess

NOpe. As they are being held in China, we'd have to show them around 12:00h or something. We decided that won't be viable. In the future, we'll be showing mainly DramHack events with some special additions we are planning. So stay tuned

Wann gibts denn das nächste Barcraft?
|
Wir sind gerade auf der Suche nach einem passenden event. Dieses WE mit MLG ging nicht, da am Sonntag St. Patricks Day ist und da ist das irish Pub sowieso im Ausnahmezustand^^ Für IPL6 war soweit alles unter Dach und Fach, aber das wurde dann ja abgeblasen wegen der Probleme bei IGN. Weiter sind momentan keine großen Turniere terminiert. Sobald etwas fest steht, das terminlich auch ins Ireland's Own passt, werdet ihr hier und vor allem auf unserer facebook page https://www.facebook.com/BarCraft.RheinNeckar darüber lesen. Aber wir sind dran!
|
"Heart of the Swarm" is out for two weeks now. What's your favourite unit in the new environment? One of the shiny new ones? Or have you learned to appreciate an old one in a whole new way?

There's a Barcraft on Sunday... I'd attend if you want to know
|
Yes, Im planning to do so already anyway, but I cannot promise

Question: Finals start at 10:00h CEST. 4x Bo5 followed by 2x Bo5 followed by 1x Bo7. We planned to start at 16:00h CEST. Ist possible that there wont be too much to show then. So we are considering starting sooner if eniough People would attend sooner. Please consider and post on our Facebook concerning the question, so that we know if we should start sooner or leave it as it is. Thanks in advance for your opinion

WCS Europe Season 2 Finals July 7th 17:00h
The venue hasn't greenlighted the Event, YET. More up-to-date Information on our Facebook page!
|
We have a green light
|
Since the participation hasnt been that great as of late, we'll have fewer Barcrafts. Only the most attractive events will be shown at the ireland's Own. If you would like to see one event especially, let us know. Keep one thing in mind when suggesting events: the time zones they are in
|
We are looking for someone to take over the BarCraft. For dtails, see the post at our Facebook page.
|
Last call for anyone willing to take over the Barcraft for Ludwigshafen/Mannheim. Either someone volunteers or the Facebook page will be shut down at the end of 2014.
edit 12/26/2014: noone is interested, thus Barcraft Ludwigshafen is out of business.
