Greetings TeamLiquid. For those of you in the Chicago area, you may have seen this thread for last season. I'm glad to say the party was a great success, and we had many people show up. Sixteen people showed up pre-GSL to play games, and have a great time, and thirteen stayed until 3:00 A.M to watch the GSL.
+ Show Spoiler +
Video from the last event.


This time around we're going to do everything better.
Please RSVP A.S.A.P so that Sam(Manager of Ignite) can reserve a set number of computers. Last time he reserved the 8 computers in a circle, but about 16 of us showed up to play games.

UPDATE: Ignite Network has removed 10 of their weak computers for people to bring their own computers in.

Information about Bring your own PC (BYOC)
- The spots will be reserved, and a list will be updated.
- Please arrive early, so that you have plenty of time to set up.
- Only bring your main box, not your monitor. As always, its your choice of who's mouse / headset / keyboard you use.
- There will be Ignite's Tech Support to help with any problems.

BTW, will there be food available for purchase?

And can we also watch the KT vs SKT1 Proleague finals that are being held a few hours later?

I'm really thinking about going (though it's an hour's train ride away from my college), though I'm notoriously lazy about getting out of my dorm.

They have a cafe where they sell Coffee, fruit smoothies, and various candies and small bags of chips. There are plenty of good places to eat around Ignite as well.

If we have time, I do believe we can get that done.

You should show up, we have over 40 people showing up!

Will there be stuff to do if I show up like an hour after the tournament begins? I'm considering making the drive from Kenosha, WI. Thanks!
