DC LAN #15
I know I’m no Luckyfool, but since he doesn’t wanna be the one to spearhead the event, I will be your the organizer for this upcoming DC LAN! Some of you may know me as Richard, or you might not know me at all, but I’ve gone to a couple of the past DC LANs, and will be heading down from Rochester, NY for AGDQ and for this, because you DC people are the best :D! I missed out on the previous SC2/BW tournament, so we are gonna be trying that again! I was talking with a few of you at Red Bull, and you it seemed like there would be some numbers behind having a BW event, so let’s do it!
When: Saturday January 10, 2015 (12PM-10PM… or 11PM, let’s hope not all that much later, we’re all gonna want BBQ)
Where: Monster PC: 7031 Little River Turnpike #13b, Annandale, VA 22003
What:
Two concurrent Starcraft tournaments, one in SC2 with some great, old maps, and one in Brood War with also great, old maps. Other side events as requested by people! Due to increased costs of the LAN center, the cost is $20 to play for the day. You will need to give $20 to the LAN owner, and that will give you 14 hours of play time. Any donations to the tournaments would be appreciated, but not necessary  !
Spectating is free. (Limited spectating at the LAN center though, no viewing areas other than watching players monitors)
SC2: Prizes $180+ (Depends on number of donations to the prize pool)
1st: 100
2nd: 50
3rd: 30: LuckyFool
Current Donations SC2:
$20: a9arnn
$20: Tossim
$50: MinnyMausGG
$20: Crushmode
$70: ZombieGrub
BW: Prizes $20+ (Depends on number of donations to the prize pool):
1st: $20
Winner Takes All. The three players will play in a round robin Bo3, best score gets $20
Current Donations BW:
$20: a9arnn
Format/Rules:
Double Elimination Bracket
Map Pool:
The current ladder maps as of 01/10/15
BW Map Pool - This can be changed, but these maps are cool imo, and were around when I was, so I can take suggestions
Fighting Spirit
Neo Medusa
Outsider
HBR
Destination
Colosseum
Holy World
How to sign up:
Post in this thread with your *BNET AKA* and which events you'll play in (SC2, BW, or both)
Notes:
Please join channel "DCLAN" on sc2 bnet 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. You can (and I recommend) bringing your own headset, keyboard, and mouse. Monitors and PC's are provided by the LAN center.
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.

Awesome Richard! I'll be there for sure. Thanks for putting this together, obviously I'll help out as well.
$30 an entry tho...ugh. LAN center prices going up is rough. hopefully most people play both tournaments, or if there is interest for a diamond and below tournament as well we can maybe look into doing that too

Ya it sucks that it's 20 for the computer time, I suppose the prize pool could be just donations, but it wouldn't be all that big that way haha. If I lived in the area it'd be cool to see if there was anywhere else that had cheaper rates, but I do not T_T.

We're getting slightly better than $2/hr, but I don't have the funds for a prize pool, especially since the whole week prior I'm going to be at AGDQ (also I'm not from the DC area and am still a college student). I figured more people would be willing to pay the $30 than there would be people willing to donate to the prize pool. I might be wrong; if more people are willing to donate, I'd love to bring the cost down to 20, but in my financial state I can't put up a lot of $  .

Richard we may want to ditch the competitive aspect of this LAN and just have it be more of an informal show up pay $20 for 12 hours and play whatever games you want/social get together LAN. We could have mini tournaments for whatever games people play, hearthstone etc after people show up. I just don't think enough people play competitive sc2 anymore to justify paying $30, my numbers for the past few LAN's were struggling as it was at $20 a person.

Tossim, bo5 bw grudge match loser pays the others dinner?
|
lol, I dunt want to; only if you play with me on bw before we go out to va. Play some games so I remember how to play it.
|
Hey man, I'd be interested in coming and bringing my son, we both love SC2. Don't think we'd play the tourney, cuz we are total n00bs and would get destroyed. What would be fun is playing some games, getting some pointers, and learning from people who are actually skilled at this game.

Okay, I think that this would be a pretty good idea given the below post. I will still donate $100 to the cause, split among the different mini-tourneys (money matches maybe!?). I really just wanna hang out with all you guys that aren't going to AGDQ and play some SC!

I think that that would be pretty cool to do, I'm busy almost all of today, and will figure out what to write up, but I'll change the OP to reflect the updated LAN happenings tonight/tomorrow! I'm sure everyone would love to help out and give pointers!
