So people have been saying in my blogs that they want to meet/hangout and play Starcraft.
Would anybody in the Phoenix area be interested in doing a LAN? Depending on how many people are interested we could host it here in our house (TONS of space) or we could find some LAN center if we have a large group planning to show. (I'd have to check around, I don't know of any since I just moved here.)
So if it's a small group say 15-20 we could do it here at our house, any larger and we risk blowing fuses, etc and would need to find a lan center.
Also if we have the LAN here, we would like to do a prize pool that would cover 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. So maybe a $10 entry fee and $1 to help pay for the power? Also, we have a few tables and chairs but if anybody can bring folding tables or whatever, that would be awesome! This is a Bring Your Own Computer event as well but I can loan mine out as long as you don't break it.
If we have to find a LAN center, we can easily change the prize pool entry to whatever seems fair.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Yes? No?
Poll: Phoenix, AZ LAN? (Vote): Yes (Vote): No

Sounds dope, would love to do this. I'll try and round up some nerds, will this be strictly starcraft? Or options like other consoles viable? Know a lot of people that would interested but aren't pros or anything like that.
But yea, let's get this going arizona.
|
We don't have a TV until my parents can bring mine down sometime next month. Nobody owns an xbox or ps3. (I have a SNES!)
But I'm sure we can do other things as well.
|
damnit!! i wish i lived in Phoenix now >.< FML i have to live where i get tickets for speeding every month >.< (idk if its true but ive heard that cops dont give a shit once u cross the appalachian mts)
|
We can bring some projection equipment or some small Tvs. Consoles aren't a problem, but don't wanna make a giant bill at your pad so I undersrand if its out of question.
|
Hey guys, your forum post came up in my google scanner. Don't want to advertise, but if you're looking to have a SC LAN in PHX, I own a LAN center with 30 machines on the W side. Let me know if you want to hold an event and I'd be glad to hook you up.
|
I live close to the Flagstaff area.. and Id really love to see more Arizona LAN's get started up.
|
I'm pretty bad, but I live in the Phoenix area and I would be down.
|
You guys shoulda moved to Oregon.
|
I'm down for anything really, just wanna chill and play SC with fellow Arizonans
|
I just moved out of AZ , but I have a lot of friends that don't lurk TL quite like I do that love starcraft all the same that would love to come. What lan center in Phoenix do you own Alomax? I have played in most of the phoenix ones, maybe we've met. I usually play CS 1.6 at lan though, not SC.
(typo edit)

I have a ps3 I can bring. No tv I can bring though. T_T
I wanna goooooooo!!!!!
|
I can't believe I never knew that there are quite a few AZ bw players. Would definitely be fun to play with some of you fools :D
|
sounds great i just hope that its close to where i live by
|
i'm really really bad (ask Atrioc about my two-base bc build versus protoss) But I always love hanging out and playing SC. So count this Arizonan in. As far as suggestions though I don't know how many actually decent players are in AZ so I don't know if a buy-in tournament would really work...
|
With the way things are going, I'm pretty sure we can get this LAN up and running. Friends of friends should be brought along haha, just to increase the sausage I mean, players.
|
Well, how many friends of friends would you bring? And would they be willing to donate to the prize pool/power bill?
|
Yea they would be more than willing. It's not really that many just two others lol, just tryin to hype this up.
|
Ok. Assuming those 12 people that voted, plus your other few, plus the 3 living here... That's around 20'ish?
We can easily do the LAN here at our place. Give us about a month or so to get the rest of our furniture, etc here and I'll get this rolling.
|
i'm in flagstaff. i would love to come down and get some sun, and hang out with some sc nerds. count me in

|
Maybe i'd go, only problem is I have little interest in playing Starcraft. I just watch the K-Pro's. That's enough for me. What will I do there? I'll eat your food and leave. Give me those cookies.
|
I will come if I can (depends on time / day). I am D- / lower than D- and have 43 APM. So maybe I and some of the other people complaining about how much they suck should face off.
|
Dope, sounds like this will be a fun LAN.
|
You guys really going to let a guy with the username bangbangSKEETSKEET in your house?
|
|
I live out in Surprise, but no car. Might be able to bum a ride though.
|
I live all the way down in Maricopa, but I could probably make it up for some good old fashion LAN fun. . . depending on the day it's on anyways :D

I own LSG - www.lanspeedgames.com on 67th ave & peoria. I used to be pretty good at SC, there's only a few of my customers who will play it with me. :p I expect interest to increase dramatically once they announce an official SC2 release or beta date. Hell, we'll probably have a midnight release party the day it comes out.
|
Alomax, it looks like you have about 30 computers and for this LAN it looks like we will have about 20~ people, maybe up to 30 if anybody else down here wants to go. So basically we would take up the entire LAN center, if there are other people there we might not have enough comps for all of us. Also I think this would be sort of a few hour thing, I don't know if these guys wanted to do like an all nighter or what, I guess we would need a vote to decide how we are gonna do this.

Yea really, I mean it's horrible having a full store. All that work :p
No you're right, normally if you where to just show up unannounced there'd be no way I can ensure there's enough seats. If you plan it out in advance though I can make sure spots are reserved and everyone gets a seat. Currently I'm down one PC, (my POS died and I had to steal a floor machine :p) but it should be back up tomorrow.
There are multiple ways this could be set up. If everyone just wants to show up at a prearranged time and pay individually, that would let people leave when they need too. I'd happily hook everyone up with some free time as well. If you do have 20+ people that want to come, it might be better to buy out the facility. The going rate for this is $150, but drops to $100/hr if you want 4 or more hours, and you can bring as many people as you like.
I'm open to any time. It's less hassle if you decided to do an overnighter, as it wouldn't displace my normal customer base, but with a week or more advance notice to give them a heads up it wouldn't be a big deal. I also currently have a limit of 12 SC CD keys, but that's easily increased if you guys decided to do this.

Revival.
How goes the plans for this?
|
Bump for a good idea that should be followed through on.
|
It's all up to Psy! Psy where are yew?! D: We needs a LAN
|
/shamelessbump
:edit: PS - we have the SC2 beta installed, even if 90% of my customers can't play it because they don't have a key :p
|
I'm in tucson I would be interested but.. long drive. Maybe for SC2 definitely though
|
ah i would love for this to actually happen. Arizona never has SC lans!
|
AZ rocks XD... but in in canada ATM T__T
anyway, glhf
|
My roommate and I live in Tempe and would definitely be interested in this! When you gonna do it?
|
|
Love this idea!! Phoenix Phiting~~! Have a few people that play sc2 that I know. Would make for a great weekend. :D

ok making a major bump here to express interest
at ASU w/ some people who have already posted in this thread and you can count us all in for a LAN
i think the EG house would obviously be the best place
|
BTW, I will be bringing 16 PCs with me to DEVASTATION on June 18,19,20 at the Phoenix convention center, west wing (http://www.devastationevent.com/).
The event coordinator is trying to get us 30+ SC2 beta keys so that we can run some competition during the event. If anyone can put in the good word to Blizz for us, that'd be awesome!
Regardless, we will have the SC2 beta installed for anyone who wants to play and has a beta account.
|
|
+1 on interest for this.
Phoenix FTW

So people who got a guest ticket will definitely be able to play right? I just wanna meet up with people and have some fun nerding it up!
|

|
+1 Also. Lets get this going .
|

|
I am moving to phoenix next week (scottsdale) to be exact and I would 100% be down to lan! Im so lucky, I get to go to the bay area, CA lan and another
|
ok 2 things a) bump b) Who lives in the Phoenix area that wants to start gettin ready for this? The Beta is not for very much longer so we should start gettin this ready now... Im guessing the EG guys dont want to do this anymore because of the gosucoaching camp or w/e. Who is wants to take the reins? Ill do what I can to help I'm just still in CA right now, wont b in phoenix for a week.

Ah man I wish I had a place that we could do this, I'd definitely like to LAN and chill with a lot of you guys. I was thinking of going to http://www.devastationevent.com/ because someone on here said they'd be doing a Starcraft 2 LAN there, but since the beta is going to end, might not be so true .
As far as getting something set up this last week and a half, I wish
|
While i doubt I can make plans for something like this before the beta ends, I wouldn't mind attending something after release date, though there might be a huge surge of people wanting to attend =). My practice partner lives in Phoenix and I have stayed with him before for Phoenix lans when we were on a Halo team together, so I'm sure we would be down to coming to any lans as long as I had a few weeks notice. He would be there no matter what probably as long as it didn't coincide with work, so there is one person for you guys.

i live in the valley. :-D up for anything valley related 110%
arlock u better hit me up dude. im not gonna be in SF ! stayin here in phx. :-D

Seeing as beta is ending shortly and none of them have posted in this for a few pages Im thinkin that they arnt interested anymore. WIth "gosu camp" and what not they seem busy. I think we should plan something before beta is over but if no1 else is down I'll just qq to myself.
|
looks like this wont be happening until the final stage of beta begins.
|
Yeah definitely down for something right before release.
|
Brent, lets do it Friday or Saturday.
Ppl can bring their own PC and all, let's do something b4 the servers go down.
