One last thing - are there prizes? ^_^

Nope, unless, says those who reach the quarter finals all throw in 5 euro, then we'd have a small pool for the winner and runner up. Or if everyone puts in 5 euro at the start of the tournament, i don't mind throwing mine in, even though i'm gonna lose. But it's only viable if everyone had to buy in.

Ah, maybe I'll buy a packet of crisps then. If I win - prize, if I lose - comfort food. :P

map pool will be standard ladder maps available on battle.net.

and sure if ye want to veto no problem. as long as everyone is happy.

just dont think its going to work if someone keeps veto until they get their prefered map for that game.

so i reckon this might work.

all maps put into a hat.
first map is drawn out. if either player is not happy, they can veto ONCE.
so if someone veto's the drawn map,
then second map is drawn out.
if the other player veto's then it will be drawn again, and regardless of the map drawn it will be played.

By veto I meant for every set against a player so either bo1 or bo3 or watever. Before the game each person chooses a map to veto, after seeing their oponent, race etc. So they can only veto 1 map each for the entire series they are playing against each other. Rather than people saying no to maps that are drawn, just dont put the maps that are veto'd into the hat

Don't forget you guys owe me 140 euro >.<

sadly no. not this time. However, if the lan goes well and judging by the numbers who will turn up i reckon the next time i organise a lan we might be able to secure a prize or 2.
The wheels are already set in motion on this, and the company willing to provide the prizes want to see how this lan turns out first.

this could work if those people wanted. However, no one is forced to do it, as there is a large range of skill level going. This one is just about fun and something different than meeting on irc and b.net

could get a bit complicated really. we would have to do it for every person.

UnholyGregor

wheels set in motion? they want to see how this goes? some sort of sponsorship? sounds pretty awesome

IRL_Sinister

Depending on how it goes there may be more to come in the future

RoyalMarine

basically ive been in contact with a few groups who might be willing to put their name to a future event, some prizes to promote the event etc.

they want to see what type of numbers we get first on our own as we didnt advertise. obviously they realise with some advertising and broadcasting on other websites we can get larger numbers to attend.

However, the main question they have raised is location.

RoyalMarine

hey guys, just a quick reminder,

the lan is TOMORROW NIGHT AT 10PM! DONT FORGET TO TURN UP!!!

:pac:

Ramza

Will be in XGC from 6 onwards

IRL_Sinister

The event was pretty fun, got to know some of you guys and play some gg's

Good job royal for keeping it all organised, thanks for taking charge of the whole event.
Left during the grand final, so i'm unsure of the winners but i shall be looking out for the replays. Safe home guys.

See yaz at the next one lol.

Funky

Awesome lan, enjoyed it immensely and it was cool to put faces to names. Big thanks to RM for organising it all and congrats to Khazidhea on his comfortable victory in the 1v1s

I'll definitely be there for the next one.

IRL_Sinister

Just going to say, now that I am in the comfort of my home that the LAN, as a whole, was one of the most satisfying things I've ever spent 10€ on.

On behalf of everyone, and not just myself I'm sure, maaaaaaaaajor thanks to RoyalMarine for organising the event, it was very, very good.

Personally, I enjoyed it immensely and cannot wait to see what the future holds for this. Also thanks to everyone there, foreign and national, for making it the success it was.

Congrats Funky and Khaz on winning your moneyz \o/ and hopefully this brings about a good bit of inspiration throughout the SC2 Irish community

Chaz

TTIUWP!

String

Had a great time! Thanks royalmarine for organising it all.was nice to see such a great turnout. Even though i lost both tournament games, i had some great games throughout the night. Hope to go to another one in the future!

RoyalMarine

thanks everyone, but it wouldnt have been as succesful without all of ye turning up and making it such a great night.

Congrats to Khaz and funky, and gg to everyone who took part. well done!

I have some big plans for the next event, and it should be even better since we now know whats available to us.

saini

Being my first lan I can say that I found it really and will be looking forward to one in the future.

Time to get training I need to win a game this time lol.

The "in no particular order" is obviously a lie. 11th place isn't too bad for me!

PurpleFistMixer

I need to play more 1v1...

Also, I'd just like to apologise to RocketKnight for making him lose his 2nd match because he was using my pc and the hotkeys were set to grid. And because he was obviously still reeling from the 30 minute roach-fest that was our game.

ShadowHearth

how far bitch tits got too lol?

Funky

replays for anyone interested !

phisku

Great event i got a lot of fun meeting you guys.
defenetly one of my best moment since i'm in ireland

Bronze belgian rulz

Khazidhea

Thanks RM for organising this. Really looking forward to the next one.

And thanks to all of you guys. I hope my play wasnt too boring to watch or too irritating to deal with

Banshees

freepower

Had a great time, thanks to all my opponents for their time, good humour, and liberal application of whoop-ass.

Much congrats to the top players, well deserved wins!

(and some handy advice from some kind gentlemen on how not to lose so quickly at the next LAN, looking forward to it!)

phisku

It was awesome

Zombrex

even though I only lasted till 3am, and was far better at CS than Starcraft, it was great fun. Thanks Marine, good job

freepower

Once again, RM = Musclemode Boss Mode Organisation. I can't believe I paid approximately 80c for each hour of starcrafting goodness.

Awesome to meet you guys, had a great time and I really hope to be practising a bit more for the next one, especially against the guys that beat me.

I hope my play wasnt too boring to watch or too irritating to deal with

Banshees

:rolleyes:

Well played. ^_^

And thanks for the tips. Hellions don't cost gas, durp. :P
