The SoCal LAN 4 Crowd (ash.sonic left before the pic.. fuckin homo)
It was quite a bit of fun, there were 16 players with several even coming from out of state (2 from Colorado, 1 from Ohio, 1 from Arkansas) which was a real honor!

After getting eliminated from the tournament, what better way to entertain oneself by taking random pics?

... and another group pic
Again, thanks everyone for coming. I hope you all had fun! Expect the next SoCal LAN to be even bigger and better. I'm going to try and possibly find some sponsors so we can get an even larger prize pool to attract even better players. Also going to try and work in live casting (almost got it, but it ended up crashing their comps every time we tried)...
So ya! Thanks everyone, hope you all enjoyed. Cheers.
