Xin Gaming's #2 ever LAN and #3 Starcraft 2 Tournament is here!
Though our #1 LAN ended up being extremely entertaining at the end it did start off slow due to technical difficulties. This time around we are holding it at Indus internet cafe on Harbour Town Docklands and have tested all machines/routers in order for the event to run as smooth as possible. With great prizes and only 64 spots be sure that you do not miss this event and reserve your spots early!

This is correct. The cafe and Xin Gaming both lose on these events. We do it for the community.

I don't understand how you can lose on it. Surely the sponsors provide most of the hardware, and I don't see how that store credit is the store losing when there's an entry fee.

In a land where homophobes aren't granted entrance.

The cafe itself makes about $1800+ a day. We have reserved the whole cafe for the event not allowing in any walk ins until the event is over and have put $525 in prizes. From entry fees we only make $1280-$525 in prizes= $755. Plus all the Indus staff will need to be payed and Xin staff will be there doing it voluntarily...
You tell me how we're not at a loss?

I'd just assume he didn't take into account loss of revenue during the day.

Nope, you just didn't mention the place was booked. Should have guessed with the 64 player limit though. Still, that $755 leaves say $1000 of revenue for the day lost though I am sure some of it will be made up before/after the event is over - net cafes being pretty popular at night time. I imagine they expect enough paying, long-term customers to come from those that turn up that they will make the money back or they probably wouldn't do it.
Xin volunteering is par for the course though! No bragging rights there haha.

Majority do bring their own peripherals, it's highly encouraged.
