As posted, I will update the current prize pool and the door prize list for both days. I will also add the current qualified players in a spoiler tag when I get home from work today.

This is a 2 day event that does not go overnight, but rather STARTS AT 11AM EACH DAY. Please make sure to show up as close to 10am as possible to avoid being left out of the tournament. Rumor has it that a few high profile names may show up to watch the tournament on location. And as always, spectators must pay a $5 fee, but are eligible for the door prizes.

Oh, I forgot to mention that there is a 2 day door prize, meaning you have to be there both days to qualify for it. Off the top of my head, I think we had a tower, SSD, RAM, CPU fan, and a fan monitoring system... all in ONE PRIZE.

Hi! Was just wondering if it would be possible for players to participate online who are not living in New England. Thanks!

Sorry but no. This tournament is on location only for New Englanders, and NJ/NY guys that want to make the trip. I fully support you supporting us by watching the stream though

Best Westerm listed at $92.xx, we can get at $87.50, but somehow I feel that is going to get nommed in taxes. Multiple rooms with 2 full sized beds that could fit 4 maybe 6 people in them.

Alright, so... I think if we are going 4 to a room, I need 1 more person with me. Nesix, will of course be snuggling with me and I'm going to bug Anachromy to sleep with us too. So looking for someone to crash Sat night.

Now I just have to message them to make sure my assumptions are right.

About 1 week has gone by and we have 6 people registered for the last chance finals. At the current count, 66% of the entrants will be going on to day #2. Remember, entry is $10 cheaper this time around and you can also get NESC2League T-shirts for $20 at this event. This will be the last chance to get one before MLG Providence, so make sure to grab one and show your colors!

The Kingston gear should be showing up within the next 2 weeks and as soon as I get it, the prize listings will be updated.

Also, Best Western looks like the best bet for lodging.

New England fighting!

Unlikely I'll be able to make it but I'll be sharking in the stream chat. Hopefully will get to finally see people at MLG Providence.

Fight Night on Wednesday usually brings more people as word spreads about the tournament. I should note that this is the last tournament of our very first year and is almost 11 months to the date from when the league first started!
