This is the official announcement of the Hyper Crew LAN Event #2 at the Cyber Ground Internet Cafe. Our first LAN event is early January completed success; however, we do have some changes to implement into this event. First of all, this tournament will not be capped at 32 players; we will accommodate as many players that are willing to come out and participate. On a similar note, the size of the groups in the round robin stage will vary depending on how many players sign up. If we have a lot of players sign up for this event, we may have to do two waves of Round Robin groups.

Be sure to check back to be updated on any changes to the event format. This event will be on Saturday, February 26th at 12:00 pm EST. Once again the start time is subject to change if 40+ players sign up.
Tippy's Taco will be sponsoring the event by providing anyone who attends with a buy one, get on free taco lunch! Be sure to grab a coupon card at the front desk when you get there.
