DC LAN #11 will happen on January 26th! It's been a while since our last LAN but I've finally squared away reserving a date at the LAN center. We're at a bit of a strange inbetween time for Starcraft 2, with HoTS right around the corner you can expect major tournaments to shift to that once it's released in March. Until then it's still all about WoL....but this is also an opportunity to relive the game that started it all, Broodwar. This LAN will include two tournaments, all happening on one day: Saturday January 26th @ Monster PC, depending on the interest level this gets I may stagger the start times of each event a little in order to fit everyone in. Plan for the event to begin at 11am sharp, please arrive early to set up and pay, if you don't arrive by 11AM you may lose your spot in the event.
When: Saturday January 26th 11am-10pm
Where: Monster PC: 7031 Little River Turnpike #13b, Annandale, VA 22003
What: Starcraft 2 live tournament, costs $20 to enter.
Broodwar live tournament, Free entry with SC2 tournament buy in, otherwise it costs $10 to enter if you can't stand touching sc2. ($20 to play in both tournaments is a really good deal!)
Spectating is free
Prizes: SC2: TBD (Depends on number of tournament signups) BW: $130 (thanks Torenhire and a9arnn(aka sc2ratings.com guy) for the donations to the bw prize pool!!!)
Format/Rules: Double Elimination Bracket for both SC2 and BW. (Format might change to groups for broodwar if there are fewer bw players)
SC2 Map Pool: (GSL MAPS) Abyssal City Antiga Shipyard Cloud Kingdom Daybreak Entombed Valley Ohana Whirlwind Broodwar Map Pool: (TeamLiquid Legacy Starleague maps) Fighting Spirit, New Sniper Ridge, Neo Jade, Neo Ground Zero, Neo Electric Circuit, New Bloody Ridge, Neo Aztec.
How to sign up: Please copy paste the following and post to this thread, include if you are playing in the sc2 or bw tournament (or both) and your ID. An example post by someone who is competing in both events:
" SC2 Tournament: [YES] BW Tournament: [YES] ID: LuckyFool "
Notes Please join channel "DCLAN" on Starcraft2 battle.net when you arrive at the LAN center as we will use this channel for communication during the event since the LAN center is split into separate rooms.
Unfortunately the LAN center is a bit cramped so there isn't a whole lot of space for people who plan to just spectate the event. If you plan on bringing others or friends please let them know they cannot get on a PC unless they are playing in the event. I'm expecting a fair amount of signups for this event and we may end up filling up the LAN center. Priority will have to be given to those competing in the event. You can (and I recommend) bringing your own headset and mouse, monitors and PC's are provided by the LAN center. There is a limited number of stations for laptops and/or desktops in the back corner of the LAN center if you want to bring your own desktop or laptop.
If you have any other questions before the event or during the event please let me know at any time, best way to contact me before the event is PM me here on TL.
If you are willing to volunteer for one of the below positions please let me know, I will need at least 3 people dedicated to helping with this, if you can bring a laptop in order to not take up a tournament PC for entering results and bracket management that would be ideal, please PM me for more details.

What if you just want to go and watch the games? do you have to pay as well? or only competitors pay?
|
It's free to spectate if you want to just go and watch others play. People usually drop in to watch some throughout the day.

on another note...anyone want to practice Brood War? I only know like two builds and only for PvT and PvZ haha.
|
Torenhire-
If you're around on the 26th you can take charge of the bw tournament if you want. If Burns+Peter are also coming they can split handling results/bracket work. I also might not play,(meaning I'd actually be useful during the day this time) we'll see. if I commit to playing I'll just want to practice again and I can't have that right now... D:
(I just might practice some bw though muhah)
|
Can the comps actually run BW without any problems? Will we be on LAN or ICCup to meet up in a channel?
|
If I can get a ride from school, I'll be here to spectate. looking forward to seeing brood war as well!

I don't even know if this is gonna be streamed or not but this just isn't right. PM'ed
Edit: Didn't see Torenhire's 100, but 2nd place deserves something too so I still wanna donate
|
thanks Richard, so awesome, this means our bw tournament is now sponsored by sc2ratings.com I'm sure Neal wouldn't object if I have Nanman give a few plugs for the site on stream.
|
I will be in NJ with the potential of coming down. Would anyone be willing to split gas money/driving that wants to come from the NJ/NY area?
|
Lol it's kinda funny thinking about a BW tourney sponsored by a SC2 site.
Thank you Rob for running a BW tournament, it's not everyday I get to watch one!

I would check out the power overwhelming thread/LAN this weekend I'm sure you could talk with people about joining you. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=387813

I love that we are getting such a great response for the BW tournament! I have no problem giving shout outs and plugging to anyone that helps make this event happen Now I just wish I could cast both events :X
|
Have you ever streamed bw before Nan? And do you have bw installed... If you want to get it setup we could at the very least hold the bw finals so we could cast both finals back to back.
Could be more trouble than its worth though if you dont have the setup to do it. I think Ipp once casted bw for us.

doesn't look like I'll be working that weekend, so you can expect me for freelabor

haha I have never streamed bw before sadly :X And what sort of silly question is that do I even have BW installed I'm going to mess around and see if I can get things sorted out with streaming because I would love to be able to have back to back finals if anyone has any tips or tricks I'd really appreciate them <3
|
Sign me up for both if it costs the same. Otherwise just SC2!

LOL it's really easy to stream in windowed mode- just set the screen region/capture to the window. Not sure if you use xsplit or not. We can talk about it a bit if you want, hit me up on skype or something if you have issues. We should try to at least stream the finals of the bw tournament. :D

Don't want to be mega obnoxious about this but if anyone wants This spare external monitor let me know, I have it as a spare, and am looking to sell it. Like new condition, best monitor for its price range and specs. I'd rather sell it to someone in the DC Area or someone who I can meet up with to hand it off at Il Mee or Monster, with the LAN coming up. It goes for 110 still, but I'll sell it for less.
|
Damn, I have to withdraw my entry.
|
Wtf Kier you dodging noob

It was brought to my attention the GSL maps are changed...the maps I have listed in the OP are the maps we're going with. Kinda silly to totally change up the map pool a week or so before.

|
Man you guys are awful at following the signup format.
gg. I'm planning on being there for at least part of the day.
|
yeah anyone who didn't follow the signup format is getting a shitty seed.
|
Tomorrow I will be previewing DC #11 on Sc2 Up & Coming if anyone would like to come on the show and talk about things please let me know

Damn I really wish I could go this time around....I have work it sucks...I had so much fun the one and only time I went, I want to do it again lol...hopefully the next one

Uhm so it's gonna snow Friday night...might be alot too. trololol.

I don't think it's going to be a lot, last I heard was like 2.5 inches in the Annandale area. I don't think it'll be so bad that people can't show up, even if it does snow. People not from the NOVA area might bail though, which is still fine.

Hopefully it doesn't snow too much here in Harrisonburg and I can make it out of here on Friday haha. Also I would like to change my sign up, now I want to be in the BW Tournament as well, so I'll repost my info:

This is pretty much what happened last January DC LAN we had snow right before the event >_< Since i'm about an hour away depending on the weather i might be running slightly late in the morning but i will 100% be there!
|
Anyone coming through the Springfield area for the lan?
|
How far away from the LAN center is that? I'm coming from CP but could probably pick you up if it was close.
|
Awww yeah chillin with LuckyFool right now = D really looking forward to Saturday to stomp some nerds in BW
|
Looks like just 1-2 inches of snow tops, hopefully should be easy travel tomorrow morning. See everyone tomorrow!

Do both the SC2 and BW tourney start at 11am? I plan to only participate in the SC2 tournament so I want to make sure when I should arrive.
|
any cast from this tour ?
|
@Baconology: sc2 tourn will start RIGHT at 11am so please arrive early and be set up. BW will start at around noon or a little later, there will be less people playing in the broodwar event.
@Mewka: the entire sc2 tournament will be streamed by Nanman and he will also stream the finals of the broodwar tourney.
|
Damn this is not a tourney for scrubs lol. I may just go and spectate.
|
Hi Mr. Rob! It's Shiv/Slur.
I will be attending the event, but please do not sign me up for any events, (I'd just get wrecked, rather watch and ladder on my own!)
Thanks!!
iloveOOv.790
|
See all you folks tomorrow = D Be there or be a lamer
|
I hope there will be enough pics and a nice report afterwards 
|
It started snowing again up here in Winchester my plan is to arrive around 10ish but traffic will probably be slow because of the weather.
If you are running late leave a post here or text someone at the LAN!
|
Might be a few minutes late, should be there at 11 tho, snow storms be trollin'
|
Add me halation I'll be there soon, was waiting on my ride.

Oh no! Had no idea this was happening until i saw the stream advertised on TL. How do I avoid this mistake next time???

yeahhh trying to do 2 double elimination tournaments is pretty hard, especially when all the players in the bw tournament were constantly playing sc2 games... D:

Grand Finals going live with RootTheognis vs LaGRomanDragon! TvZ BO7!

Congrats to theognis for winning the SC2 tourney!

thanks for the support guys! was an awesome tournament! :D

gg's theo, and all. Thanks Nanman for casting and everyone for showing up. Sorry the prize pool for sc2 was so shitty, this was one of the smaller lans in recent times, only 19 paid players for sc2. 
Running 2 tournaments and playing in both of them(and going far in both of them) was too much for me, after 15 hours my brain and body was really hating me.
edit:
Results:
sc2: 1st ROOTheognis ($120) 2nd RomanDragon ($70) 3rd LuckyFool ($40)
bw: 1st/2nd: (Split prize money) ROOTheognis/LuckyFool ($70/$70) 3rd: CaucasianAsian ($0)
|
Good hustle, ya'll. Thanks Rob for putting this all together, admins for admining and Nan for casting. Didn't play in anything but I saw some pretty good games on the stream and sitting behind computers. Fun times.
|
I'm writing this on my phone so ignore all the grammar/spelling issues 
Big thanks to all the admins for helping to make the event go so smooth every time! Because we had two tournaments running at the same time it became the longest DC LAN in the year I've been casting them. So thanks for everyone who watched the stream through out the day. I hope you understand why we decided to have the BW event end with a 2-2 tie, I know I would have loved to have seen the end to that epic battle but Rob put it best in his post with how long we were at the event. I know all of us will be looking into ways to help improve the double tournament format because a lot of people seemed to really enjoy it.
I want to say congrats to our top 4 players at the event, Avilo, LuckyFool, RomanDragon, & Theognis! You guys really set up a great story line for this event and I can't wait to expand on it for the next event!
Also I apologize to ZombieGrub, HappyNun, Halation, Baconology, Vinko, RKB, DustCrusha, & Qraka for not being able to cast you up this event. I always try to cast up as many different people as possible so hopefully next event I will be able to cast more of you ^_^
One last thing, I don't get to walk around enough at these events and some people I still haven't met/gotten to know. So for next event please come over introduce yourselves! Quite a few of you that I've been able to get to know came up and chatted with me and even helped co-cast so thank you to everyone who did that! It really makes these events that much more important and enjoyable to me!
