Dear local Starcraft II fans/players!

INTRO

+ Show Spoiler +
      As some of you already know, Game Nation Canada has shown strong interest in promoting e-Sports across the local scene in the Greater Toronto Area. With Starcraft II being one of the hottest games out today, it is our main focus to bring the community events, tournaments and leagues (in the near future) with great prize pools.

      We are excited to host multiple gaming events at local pubs where everyone can just hang out, meet people (YES LOTS OF FEMALES NOT A SAUSAGE FEST!) and enjoy the pros do their thing! Casual gamers are welcome to play at one of our several gaming stations located throughout the bar.

      Our goal is simple - to bring together a community of gamers and the general public to promote e-Sports locally.

      Game Nation Canada has already hosted a successful gaming event a few months ago (promo video bellow) and now we want to bring in Starcraft II as our main game of the night by letting a few local pros play a mini-tournament, show it on a big screen at the venue (yes we will be streaming it as well) and have a live MC commentate the games!



THE EVENT


[image loading]


A warm thanks goes out to everyone that was able to come out. We hope you enjoyed the event. We are already in the planning stage for the upcoming events and we will be sure to give an early enough notice!

A special thanks goes out to Tristan for doing a great job commentating the games.

KOTH Winner: SlayerSBekHo

Event Coverage:

just two pics I snapped with my BB, more photos coming!

** Everyone is allowed to come to the event which starts at 7-10pm - NO age restrictions!!!!!!!!!! just don't try buying drinks. You will be asked to leave however, when the pub opens doors to the public which will be at 10pm. **


Where: + Show Spoiler +
      The Brunswick House
                  481 Bloor Street West, Toronto, ON M5S 1Y2

      (Saturday) July 16, 2011

Doors open at 7pm, Event runs until 10pm. After 10pm, the pub opens and everyone is welcome to stay and enjoy a drink or two!

Due to short notice, there will be no penalty for paying at the door.


Registration:

+ Show Spoiler +
Kindly create an account and click “Attending Event” http://www.gamenation.ca/events/gamenation-debut-pubtourny It is preferred that you register for quick entrance at the door.


Remarks:

+ Show Spoiler +
  • It is a pub, please remember the age restriction
  • There will be other games available to play on consoles, not only Starcraft II.
  • We will have a special feature event throughout the night.
  • Bring your friends. Help promote e-Sports. If you help us make these events
    successful, we promise to bring many exciting tournaments, leagues and other events with awesome prizes!

Want to play on the BIG screen?

+ Show Spoiler +
If you have what it takes to impress the crowd, send me your info including league, points, current team, accomplishments and other useful info. We are still seeking a few pros to fill up the event schedule!


Want to commentate (MC) the event/games?

+ Show Spoiler +
We are still looking for the right individual to commentate some of the games. Game knowledge is a must. Ideal candidate should be entertaining, (remember, not everyone at the event will know what Starcraft II is) and previous commentating experience is a huge plus!


Questions: + Show Spoiler +
      Please sent me a PM!

I Hope to see everyone at the event!

Well one of the issues for me, is the trek to London and then knowing that it'll be one expensive trip to stay the night. (or take like a 4am bus rofl)

We're using the location primarily because it is a pub, the event (thus. equipment, gaming stations, etc) is provided by us (Game Nation). Event will start at 7pm, and run until 10pm. After 10pm, doors open to the local people but everyone is encouraged to stay and enjoy the night!

For casual gamers, you may also bring your laptop as we have a few stations empty left to fill. Although we are not responsible for any equipment you bring, you will be safely allocated where only gamers will be permitted to enter

I don't know if the Brunny was the best decision for a venue. Especially on a Saturday night.

I think I'll pass, no offense.

$10.00 @ the door!!! LOL - glad were not being penalized for that!

Also, how did you guys managed to get every D-bag from every post secondary school in the same place for your trailer?

Only people there playing video games are those broads and even still, I couldn't tell if they were any good because the camera guy was to busy zooming in on some sub-standard T & A.

If I wanted to hang out with some winners like this I'd show up at one of those jock house parties and make like David Carrigan ( f myself and then die).

Look this forum is for real gamers, if you guys wanna promote your bar and try to make lots of cash off the community in the Toronto area go here: http://www.clubcrawlers.com/

These kind of posts will only hurt ESports

PS. If anyone does end up going to this please confirm if the shadyprobe was right about this one t(-_-t)

I will be there for sure, since I missed the NASL finals thing.

Totally interested in playing/commentating by the way, I'm a masters-level Terran with commentary experience in CSL and with Frag for Cancer

I apologize that playing a video game while sharing a drink, meeting the community and receiving free giveaways is not worthy your $10.00 CAD. I understand that for individuals of your kind (serious social phobia issues) it is more feasible to grab a redbull pack from your local convenience store, head back to your Metro housing crack spot, and rage when your Battlenet disconnects on you because you cannot afford high speed internet.

I also apologize that it wouldn't excite you getting a lap dance from some girl while playing a video game and having the crowd cheer you on. I guess you swing the other way ;/

With only 4 posts, I only image you're one of the few punks we fired a few weeks back due to your lack of intelligence, ability to follow basic instructions and lack of simple management skills.

-EDIT-

Now from a professional point of view, we thank you for your criticism. I will agree the camera man did a sloppy job, but you have to understand it was our first event and the sole purpose of the video is just to showcase the events existence.

Regarding your comment on hurting e-Sports, I really cannot comprehend your logic behind that. However, the opinion is yours and I’ll “respect” that. I’m sure the majority of the people attending will be satisfied with the event at the very least.

Toronto deserves a better spotlight for gamers gaming related events. Our sole purpose is to expose them in fun, unique ways so that in the near future, our private investors will commit to more “hardcore” gaming events including tournaments with huge prize pools, local leagues and other campaigns I’m not allowed to disclose at this point.

sounds good for future reference you need to announce these things earlier than 10 minutes, and have a set prize pool (even if its shitty) for people to show up. Won't be around, but if I was I'd consider it
