Hello everyone!
Decided to make this thread considering that Dreamhack Montreal and the WCS Summer Championship is coming up in a few weeks, with Dreamhack's second North American event! I, myself, will be traveling from southern Connecticut up to Montreal and was looking to see who else from the Liquid community was attending! I'll be attending this event alone, unfortunately (though I dont mind doing these types of things alone), but was hoping maybe some TL people would be down to grab a bite and watch some games while we are there.
What games/events are you going to see? When was your last esport event? Have you been to Montreal/Canada?
For me, I am definitely going to see Starcraft, however I will probably catch some CS:GO while I'm there, even though I dont play the game. The last esports event I was at was actually MLG Providence 2011 (best SC2 event ever), and I unfortunately missed IEM NYC @ ComicCon due to unforseen circumstances It's been over 5 years since I've attended an event, and though SC2 has significantly downsized in terms of live crowd, I will be sure to try to get some energy going, having seen what Canadian esports crowds can perform.
Also wanted to ask if there were any Montreal natives here that would suggest best parking accommodations downtown, as I currently plan on parking (hopefully) at the venue for most of the day and driving to my hotel near McGill University.
Thanks, and see you in 3 weeks Montreal~!

I'm a montreal native, so I'll most likely be there! With any luck, at least.
- I'll watch starcraft mostly, but maybe some LoL/CSGO depending on how the events pan out. - Never been to an esport event before, even small-scale ones. - Of course, I'm a native
No clue about parking! Good luck with it though.

Hey I'll be there! Gonna watch some SC2 and do esports things with ^
|
I'm going. Going to watch SC2 and hopefully chill with SC2 people. Never been to Montreal befores so hopefully my lack of French speaking doesn't screw me over :p
|
I live here so I'll be going. Don't worry about French, everyone speaks at least a little English, and most people are pretty fluent. Speak a bit more slowly than usual and people will understand you.

Last live event I attended was MLG Anaheim (their last SC2 event). Still going to see SC2 unless it is ZvZ then I turn to watch some Smash and maybe going to the tabletop and retro gaming booths.
Been to Canada (Calgary and Vancouver). Will be first time in Montreal. Hopefully my 2 month worth of French is adequate.
