Come July of this Summer I, Mack Flinn, will be hosting a multi-gaming (BW, Counter-Strike, WC3 etc.) LAN party, sponsored by The American Dream Team (TAD) and our lead sponsor... Revolution PC. My team is entirely U.S. based and located all around the country, but I have decided to host the first LAN on the east coast. Travel expenses will not be paid for, but prize money and possibly top of the line gaming products will be awarded to the finalists!
Q- What is TAD, and why are they hosting a LAN?
A- TAD, also known as The American Dream Team, is a recently formed team of talented U.S. based gamers from around the country. Our team is comprised of divisions in Starcraft, Counter-Strike, and soon to be Starcraft II and World of Warcraft. Our team mission is to get e-Sports in the United States more recognized and popular. Hosting a LAN is one of the ways we can achieve that goal. We also plan to do host other events in the near future such as team trips to WCG and/or Blizzcon and additional LAN's.

Q- Is this LAN open to anyone, or just the TAD team?
A- This LAN is absolutely open to anyone and everyone that wants to attend! The more people that come, the better! Details on additional games played will be discussed soon, but as of now Starcraft: Brood War is the main game that's going to be played at this particular LAN.

I hope to see a lot of people attend this fun filled event! Speaking from experience of attending other LAN's, they are tons of fun for everyone, no matter your skill level! If you plan on attending, but not sure, reply as "tentative" or something of that sort. If you are coming for sure because you know how much this LAN will kick ass, then reply as "coming for sure because this LAN will kick ass" or something of that sort;)
See you all there! I will keep the lists updated every day.
