[OUTDATED]Team games info & FAQ:
+ Show Spoiler +What skills do I need to have? Any skill is welcome (although higher than bronze would be nice). We will mix and match by skill so that the teams are balanced. I don't have a laptop nor a car; I only play on a PC at home, thus I can't carry it?. Post your location/transportation info; ask someone to carpool with you. I've carpooled people before; others will do it too. For 4v4s you need a good computer; otherwise come when we meet at Ignite. LOCATIONS: (Ignite Networks OR Game Pazzo OR your place). As long as there is enough parking, space for up to 8 people and their PC/laptops - incl chairs & tables, power outlets and internet outlets, any of these work: your garage/basement/dorm/apartment (I'm willing to do it in my basement once I know where I move), your school/ex-school (make it part of your videogames/computer club!), your office/church/backyard, any convention center, mall, shop, cafe, park, theater, hotel, club, brothel etc. <any ideas are welcome> YOUR APARTMENT IS NOT TOO SMALL! Give it a try - ONCE! - organize a meetup. You'd be surprised how well your small apartment could work out. Put a limit of 8 people that can show up. UIC has their own thing going on, but they're around for games & stuff. http://www.cstarleague.com/league/teams/126

Unfortunately, I'm not sure how much I can travel around the Chicago area (would probably need a lift, and that's assuming i'm able to go). I'm staying at my parents house for the break, but I'm not sure how Lan-friendly this environment is - and also I'm finishing up my final semester this spring at U of I (U-C), so obviously I won't be able to lan then :/. However, I would be up to practicing with you guys online or whatever I can do  .

To whomever lives in Evanston I could probably pick you up if you throw down for gas.

Are there even internet cafes around the Chicago area? I live in the suburbs, and I've seen places like ENC over near Old Orchard, the whole Screenz franchise it seems, Krakkaboom (which really didn't last long) just die...
Have I just been overlooking all of em?
