both players had played well over 10 hours that day, and not only for the lan. They had played in WCS qualifiers too. I can't blame them for not playing (they did get a "winners bracket set in though"

great games lots of fun, great dinner

hopefully luckyfool hosts the next one a little sooner

also be on the look out for the next SZBBQ tentatively set mid/late march.

no official date yet

27 people at dinner tonight. can't remember the last time we had a dinner that big. 17 players for the LAN wasn't too bad either. I'll remind people about the next one better, couple nerds didn't even know this was happening...(cough isai cough)

thanks for casting Nan and everyone who showed up, had a great time today def turned out to be one of the better LAN's imo. Illusion qualifying for wcs was epic too. why is anfield so proud to beat me today? kid thinks winning with dt drops and blink allins actually means something, cute. :D

the only two pics all day on my camera, I need to take more pics, totally forgot.

the massive line waiting to pay after dinner LOL

looking at march 9 for next LAN date, if it works for Nan and the LAN center etc.

edit: oh and Richard says we totally own compared to New England LAN's...excellent.

man while I don't mind splitting I hope it doesn't become a tradition or anything when we run late because then there'll be all this COLLUSION talk going on and that's a conversation I rather wouldn't have

also, it was kind of funny running into agdq speedrunners there, but I was sad since no one else seemed to be as excited as I was to meet them @_@

avilo and illusion split 1st/2nd place and didn't play the finals due to time constraints (we had a dinner to go to and caster and others have a long drive back etc). I know it sucks for viewers and such but technically my agreement at the LAN center is from 11am-10pm, I can push a bit later if I need to and only keep the finalist PC's reserved, but the place gets crowded and I have pressure to be pretty much totally packed up by then. the amount I pay the LAN center per player is only for 5 hours of PC time so they're actually really generous for giving almost double that for most of the people who go far in the tournament.

We had a couple tough scheduling things today, which I'll keep in mind when planning the next LAN. some people showed up a bit late causing some issues and then I had people playing wcs/CSL matches in addition to the LAN which caused further delays. shoutout to Scion I think he ended up waiting the most and unfortunately ended up getting 4th, in the future I probably will be more strict about sticking to the schedule, it really shouldn't take 10 hours for a 17 person LAN. (even with avilo tvt's)

I didn't watch much of this year's runs, and so didn't really know any of the people, and I thought it'd be awkward to head over and say "oh man you guys are awesome!" then head back and eat food O.o

Next LAN I'm thinking about doing two brackets- a diamond and below tournament as well as a main tournament. Also you can play both for the price of one if you are diamond or below.

This will hopefully help increase player pool and give lower league players something to practice for and more fun for people of wider ranges of skill. Also it will increase the overall prize pool. Will post the details later when I confirm date/scheduling, looking at Saturday March 8th right now though, Nanman does the 8th work for you?

Thank you to everyone that came out to the event to play, watch, and help run another successful DC LAN! I always enjoying getting to hang out with everyone both at the LAN and at dinner. Also thanks for coming and helping co-cast with me EndofLine, Aidan, DocFletch, and Stimilant. For those who didn't co-cast I hope you will consider jumping in and co-casting at the next event. Also i'm glad a lot of you guys came by and at least said hi

I do like to walk around when I get there and say hi but once the event starts I pretty much chain myself to that chair for 11 hours. So I hope everyone will consider introducing yourself if I haven't met you yet or just stopping by between matches and saying hi.

As for the next event I hope we can get another double event going having both Diamond and below and a regular tournament should hopefully help with turn out for the next one. Sadly March 8th I wont be able to do another DC LAN. I'll be in Richmond playing in a Magic the Gathering tournament. March 15th or 29th work out better for me since my birthday is on the 22nd
