Hello my name is Tommy Ian Rasmussen and I'm the creator of StarCraft Lounge Denmark
StarCraft Lounge Denmark is a group organized for the purpose of promoting StarCraft in Denmark through BarCraft and Tournaments. We have successfully hosted BarCrafts in Aarhus, Copenhagen, Aalborg and Odense (100-300 Attendees each)
We are currently only on facebook but when the need arises, a website will be made as well. The point of creating an all encompassing organization is to easily spread information on the whereabouts of tournaments and barcrafts, but more importantly to create a relationship with the bars that goes both ways. We give the bars easy access and a way to interact with the attendees, and a promise of good attendance. We get strength in numbers which helps us by letting us take part in dictating the price on beer and so on.
Instead of waiting around for the bars to wise up, and see the potential in StarCraft and creating BarCrafts on their own, we go out and create them on our terms. It will be more beneficial to us but will also happen a lot faster.
So please join StarCraft Lounge Denmark. All events and messages are in English so if you are a foreigner living in Denmark you are just as welcome to join
StarCraft Lounge Denmark
http://www.facebook.com/StarcraftLoungeDK (688 Likes)
We also have subgroups for each specific city. Join the one closest to you to get automatic invites. This is especially important in the new groups, as we can not promise a bar attendance as long as the numbers are too low

The StarCraft Lounge Denmark initiative is the first step in the direction of transforming Denmark into a StarCraft capitol. Even if you don't live near any of the places we are currently supporting then please still 'LIKE' the SLD page as we might host a future BarCraft in your area. Tournaments are also in the works.

I did a skype interview with videogame site pixeltv Link
Here is the LINK to the interview I did with Danish esports site xplayn about StarCraft Lounge Denmark
|
I like this. I know a lot of Danes that don't know anything Starcraft related outside the game such as TL, tournaments and everything.
This is good.

Cant wait for a barcraft event in Copenhagen

This is going to be so great!

Mee too. We really need that,
|
StarCraft Lounge Copenhagen is growing rapidly. The possibility of having BarCraft in downtown Copenhagen by next month is looking more and more plausible. Keep up the good work of promoting the group
|
BUMP, because this is awesome
|
Updated the OP once again. There must be more gamers from Aalborg and Odense on this site
|
I only play BW, but sure I'll show up to support it, e-sports in denmark is something I'm not gonna pass by for sure.
Excited, gonna sign up for the Aalborg one 
|
I'd consider an event in Copenhagen if one was to pop up, but I gotta admit I'd rather be somewhere with foosball, beer and women. In that order.
Here's a thought: talk to HBF (HBF.gominisite.dk) about using their place - They have a pretty big screen and tons of foosball tables!

I'll consider any place recommended to me, but foosball? Do you want to play foosball while watching StarCraft? I don't think many people will want noisy foosball tables when they are watching StarCraft.
Though I would love to introduce StarCraft to everyone, the foosball crowd is really not on the top of my list.
But keep the ideas for bars in Copenhagen coming.

Great initiative guys, i have been looking for at good danish sc2 community. Far too few danes watch tournaments and streams online, this is a way for them to discover that. Who knows, maybe we can even get a danish year-round league going with danes only:D Would have great streaming potential.

There are things like that on the drawing board indeed
|
So let's get some more barcrafts going!
|
|
|
Excellent, barcraft is always great and why should we Danes be left behind, and getting something like a year-round league up would be awesome, who knows if we get it up and running, and it gets known who knows we might even get a caster for a final or 2 
|
|
|
Barcraft Aarhus was really a great succes! can't wait for more to come
|
After seeing Montreals response video to HuK winning, i'm so pumped for Barcraft in Copenhagen!! Requested for an invite to the Copenhagen FB page. Can't wait! Telling my SC buddies!!
|
The event in Aarhus was just amazing and I look forward to the next one. :D Spread the word people! ^_^
|
Don't forget to add the awesome video you guys made with footage of the event to the OP :D i'm real sad i didn't go, but seeing as the place was full (FUCK YEAH) that only means it will come again, and again, and again!
http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150328913112725
edit: wtf i'm Infested Terran now!?!?
|

|

Not in the groups, but obviously bars will have a age limit. That being said, BarCrafts are not the only thing being planned, so please join the group anyways.

Great minds think alike
|
I'd definately show up for the first BarCraft in Copenhagen!
|
I would definitely love a Copenhagen BarCraft. Joining the facebook group and Dreamhack would be a great event to start with.

danes and swedes are just the best...<3 and GL to you, this will be amazing

U don't think we have foosball, beer and women in Copenhagen?

Regarding the 18+ thing, it really depends on the bar. There are no laws stating that a 18- can't stay in a bar, they just can't drink beer/alcohol. So it's really up to the bar whether or not they think they can handle it.
|
Eh bump for the greater goodness the event was awesome !
|
Woohoo! I hope this makes it in to Cph. I am def. there and I hope you others will come 2
Fantastic!
|
I´d really prefer an 18+ bar or even 21+ for that matter.....

I'm sure a deal can be made with the bars, letting 17- come in if they tell that they are underage and can't buy alcohol. Obviously that is up to the bars(but hey, cola is also profit for them ^^ )
|
The bars will probably be 18+ always, but why anyone would want it to be 21 + is beyond me.
|
Well. It's probably because their target-group is 21+ and they will lose customers, if they allow people in which are below 21 of age.
I just signed up for the facebook page for Aarhus (I'm from Randers myself). Hope to see more BarCraft and/or local/nationwide tournamets in the future!
We just have to keep momentum, and then there's a chance of us becoming nationwide news, and then it should be no problem finding sponsors for tournaments or other events.
|
Awesome, I'll be ready for events in Copenhagen!

I understand why bars have age limits, I was just asking why anyone in the community would want a 21+ limit. We want as many people as possible at the BarCrafts.

I'm also pretty sure that a large portion of the viewers are between 16-21

Sorry (wouldn't should have been would)
Edited my post

As long as you have a guardian with you, and/or have an agreement with the bar, it will not be a problem to join the Barcraft, if you are under 18 I think.
I have had my little brother with me to a lot of bars in Copenhagen, to hear music, play pool, see football and stuff like that.

Well 18+ is fine with me but as I´m "slightly" older than 18 I would prefer a bar thats not full of high school kids.

Age doesn't matter when StarCraft is on (this rule can not be used as defence in court)

We have a very solid member base in both Aarhus and Copenhagen. In fact the groups are growing so fast that we probably need two bars in each city for the next BarCraft. Odense and Aalborg still need some more promotion for me to start contacting bars. I don't want end up with the first BarCraft in those cities not being an overwhelming success, so if you are from those areas do whatever you can to find those extra members.

I'd have to settle for water then, but that's beside the point, I'd go to that stuff to talk 'bout starcraft and not much else anyways

Updated the number of members once again. Getting real close to a 100+ in the Copenhagen group.
There is still a weird bug on facebook that makes StarCraft Lounge Aarhus not show up when searched for. I have written facebook, but nothing seems to have been done yet
|
|
|
It was a wicked and crazy excellent event! Keep up the good work and to those you didn't attend last time. You better do it next time, 'cause you're missing something BIG!

Look on the bright side, you will live long enough to see StarCraft 5 in the big stadiums

OP updated once again. I have begun contacting bars in Copenhagen, still need more members in Aalborg and Odense
|
Would love to hop over the bridge and attend a Barcraft in Copenhagen
|
|
|
This sounds amazing. Will definitely try to attend this in Copenhagen! The video from Århus looks sooooo sick !!!
/GREATJOB
|
Working on the final details for BarCraft in Copenhagen (running some tests at the bar to see if it will run the stream)
|
We now have page for StarCraft Lounge Denmark, instead of the old group, please LIKE
|
BarCraft Copenhagen now scheduled. Aarhus event in the making

Looking good - looking good... Ashame it's on a sunday... People will most likely hold back on beers and might even go home early for school/work... But I'll attend (^_^)b Good job everyone who made an effort

They were really pumped about BarCraft, we will be back for MLG and Dreamhack, just need to work out the final details. We also agreed on a few other things that should improve everybody's viewing experience.
|
MLG in Aarhus now scheduled.
Also I had my name changed
|
Shameless bump to make people aware of the 2 barcrafts taking place in DK in 2 weeks
|
|
|
|
|
Looks like there will be more than 200 people at the Copenhagen BarCraft, quite impressive.
|
oh yea this is awesuuuumz <3
|
Updated the number of members. We almost hit 400 likes for StarCraft Lounge Denmark

When will you start using something else than facebook?
Will definately go to the next one in Aarhus. Curse the influenza for making me sick for the first one!

Well there is a value in using facebook right now. People are really active in groups which gets more people hooked, as opposed to being hid away in a forum.
|
only 8 days untill BarCraft boys! get pumped! <3
|
I've added the event in Aarhus for Dreamhack, there might not be one in Copenhagen though
|
It's a shame we havn't got enough members in Odense yet =[
It would have been amazing to watch providence via a barcraft, once I get accepted into the facebook group I'm going to start spreading the word! =D
However I feel that you need to advertise it a little more, It was an absolute mission to find any sc2 related communities within Denmark (I'm Englsih)

Yeah I know. I tried to setup up something for the Nestea - Losira GSL final using only this forum. That didn't go so well but I think that was mostly due to the very early hour and ZvZ final. Did not mean to be overly negative. Love the effort you put into it

On the first floor the quality still sucked, couldn't do anything about it in that short of a time. It was pretty good on the second floor. Everything will be fixed for next year, I can promise you that.

Merry Yule and a happy new year
also text updated
|
It is 2012 and we are once again open for business.
Now that MLG have announced their first tournament dates, we will start actively working at setting up this year's first BarCrafts.
|
This seems interesting... Will look into it. Maybe join in someday if not already in Korea at that time
|
Looking forward to see you all @26 feb.
|
BarCraft in Aarhus and Odense is 99% certain. Aalborg and Copenhagen is still to be determined
|
Facebook page liked and promoted. I heard a rumour about a SC2 event taking place in Copenhagen around July this year
|
The first details on BarCrafts coming really soon
|
2012's first BarCraft in Aarhus has been added to the schedule !
|
Waxies <3
looking forward with HD stream and all 3 floors showing some ESPORTS
|
BarCraft in Odense announced. I hope you will all support it.
|
Tommy is single-handly bringing barcraft to Denmark. Job fucking well done!
|
|
|
Since I last updated this thread we have past 600 likes in SLD and 300 members in the Copenhagen group.
See you all for MLG this weekend
|
We had some amazing events this weekend and they are only going to get better in March, when we once again set up BarCrafts for MLG.
More details coming soon.
|
No BarCraft in Odense this MLG unfortunately, but the first one in Aalborg is ready to kick off.
|
Hopefully Waxies will get Barcraft on their schedule again. I missed the last one 
|
Haven't updated this thread in a long time but here we go.
BarCraft in Aarhus this month and Aalborg in June. The BarCraft in Aarhus is now in HD so please do attend.
Facebook have been screwing us over by changing their event system, people longer get notified when invited to an event. That means everyone needs to do their best to spread the word on upcoming BarCrafts.

Have you talked to the bars if a wee 17 year old and show up as long as I don't buy alcohol on the bars? I'd love to go, far too few starcraft friends of my RL

In theory no, but you could probably just attend anyways. There are not going to be bouncers on a sunday. You might even be able to buy alcohol.
I'm of course not endorsing any kind of illegal activities

BarCraft in Aarhus this Monday
|
It has been a while since I have updated this thread, but we have 4 BarCrafts in Denmark on sunday the 16th and you can win Heart of the Swarm beta keys in all of them, so sign up.
