Hey guys, I've coordinated with Tristan from eSports Canada in hopes to work together regarding the growth of the StarCraft scene in the Okanagan. For starters, we've made a facebook group as well as a twitter that I will update regarding news of barcrafts, tournaments, and other starcraft related events here in the Okanagan:
Like us on Facebook and follow us on twitter to stay up to date with current events!
Facebook
Twitter (@OkanaganEsports)
By working with and being a part of eSports Canada, we hope to increase awareness of the Starcraft scene in the area, gain valuable expertise and experience from other areas, and ultimately raise funding, provide prizes, and much more for local tournaments and events! What we need is your support to do so though; help us grow and achieve great things for the Okanagan!
Feedback? Suggestions? Send us an email at okanaganesports@gmail.com!
I'm sure most of you don't know the Okanagan, but I've had a hard time located SC2 and/or BW players in the region to get to know, so I was hoping this could act as a source of meeting nearby players.
If we can get even a couple people who are in the area to give a shout, maybe we can start hosting LANs and meetups to watch the finals of tournaments and all that jazz. There's no hobby I love more than StarCraft, and I know there are others out there who share the passion.
I already know a couple people in the region; I won't post their ID for the sake of privacy, but if you guys see then come post so I don't look like a loner ;_;. My older brother is also pretty attached to the game, so we have a start.
Bronze, Masters, Young, Old, it doesn't matter. If you're from anywhere in the Okanagan (or willing to come down here for stuff) let us know!
Me and my brother live in Kelowna to be specific.

hihi, I live in the north okanagan and basically play/watch sc all the time. I am Steve.985 add me up
|
I live in Kamloops, technically in the Nicola Valley but not all that far away. I'm not sure if I'd realistically be able to come to a meet up but I would certainly like to. If anything gets arranged for an OSL/MSL final I will try and come somehow.
|
I live in Kelowna, for now at least.
Don't really follow BW, I follow SC2 decently, and trying to slowly inch back into 1v1 form.
EDIT: Nymeros #309 to those who care.
|
Oh cool, I'll definitely add you Saria. By North Okanagan do you mean like Vernon area? SalGrobyc.216
I'm in Kamloops every so often ZeroChrome, since my dad and step-mom live there. I'm going there this weekend actually hehe. I'm usually busy with family up there, but if I ever find spare time I'll give you a shout. I might try hosting an OSL/MSL final or something at my place in Kelowna, and if I do I'll make sure to send a message and post here.
Pleasantly surprised people have actually replied ^_^
edit: Cool, another one. I'm going to start listing IDs in the OP to keep track.
|
Quick bump in hopes for more people to see this. Hopefully a bunch of people are getting off work or out of summer classes or something . If you guys have friends in the area maybe get them to post here too?
|
This could be sweet especially if there were some lans based off this thread. I live in Penticton, whoever wants to add me, feel free to.
cjb #416
|
Basically lurk here all the time but never made an account --till now.
I'm currently in Kelowna and am a Platinum Protoss (Haven't lost since getting promoted though, 9 straight wins in 1v1 ladder). Hit me up -- Saronix #716
|
Awesome, I'll give a shout in the next couple days Saronix. Welcome to TL
|
Hey Guys,
Long time lurker, first time poster here. Just wanted to give a shout-out to the Okanaganites. I'm from Kelowna and would definitely be up for a couple custom games/LAN/etc.
Feel free to PM me here, or chat me up ingame -- Statyk.959.
Cheers!
|
TalonKarrde.906 Whitehorse Yukon.
It`s even worse up here!
Also figured adding myself to this thread was sensible then trying to find Yukon SC2 players. Though apparently there are some master lvl players.
|
I can only imagine Talon t.t
If you come down sometime give us a shout and maybe we can throw something together.
|
Bowzer.556 here from Kelowna, I would love to get a Barcraft going around this area :D
Or if we don't have enough interest for that yet, join up for some lans.
Cheers.
|
Btw I'm 25, and I play zerg.
|
yay. Nice to have you Bowzer, I'll add you to the OP.
I'm thinking of putting something together for a big event coming up, like NASL 2 finals or something. I'll make sure to give a few weeks in advance in case anyone needs to book days or work or whatever.
|
I'm from Kamloops. I might be interested in a lan or meetup to watch a finals. I'm a master protoss and zerg. Greg.540 if you want to play games.
|
Kelowna fan here, MLG watching and http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/ are cool and I would participate in a SC2 tourney if PCBang would host it. If you can find a place in Kelowna to host a Barcraft I will drag out people to make it a success. I know three other SC2 players here in town and will tell them anything you tell me.
Cheers
-Chris
|
i live in kelowna during parts of the year, so im down for gaming with anyone living here. I live on vancouver island now, but im always willing to drive down there a tourney.

|
I'm sure a bunch of places would love the extra business.
There's like a bar every half a block in Kelowna.
It's just a matter of going out and explaining to the bar owners how they would benefit from having an influx of nerds watching Starcraft. :D
|
Yeah, I don't know how I'd go about that. I'm not really familiar with any bars in Kelowna on the east side of the bridge, since I live on the westside. I suppose it can't be too big a bar or we'd have trouble convincing them to cater to us. If anyone has a good place in mind let us know :o
|
I'm probably jumping the gun a bit here, but from the videos and pictures of the other barcrafts in Vancouver and Edmonton, I must admit, I got hyped.
I guess we should see how many more people put their names down before we get a bar to stream NASL or MLG on the big screens.
|
I'd attend a barcraft for sure. I live in the mission but will drive wherever. Can't really suggest a local watering hole =S

Hey I'm from Kamloops (Plat Protoss) and I know at least 5 good friends who all play and help run the tru sc2 club. Around ten of us meet once a week during school and lan and if something is going on in the okanagan region i'm sure alot of us would come. PS if you go to TRU we are always look for more to join the club (and looking for a couple of more for csl team)
|
Quark.966, I'm moving up to Kelowna on Saturday to go to UBCO and would love to meet some other peoploe interested in Starcraft.
I don't really follow BW but I follow SC2 pretty closely.
|
I live in kamloops currently am a low masters/diamond player (took a long break at one point was mid masters but am finally getting back into it). My ID's are Flare.242 as well as Flardun.484. I'd always be up for a barcraft or a lan as long as it's not too interfering with school
|
Another "Okanagan" boy here, Just a crappy Gold player here from Kamloops.
I'm looking to get better, Vartazian-826. Always looking for a practice game.
|
I live in kamloops, currently a high Plat zerg my ID is Splind.416 would love to attend a barcraft or even a lan ..
IRL friends with both vartazian and Flardun ^^
|
Weeee, glad to see this growing. Did I by chance play with a couple of you and Trozz a few weeks ago? Anyone going to be going to Okanagan College in Kelowna this year? First day back starts tomorrow
I wonder if linking this thread in my sig is attracting anyone :o
|
Okanagan is a fucking best place in Canada. Had a craziest trip this summer. If you guys doing any tournaments or lans, please say, I would love to come <3 Calgary
|
I live in Kelowna, Grobyc, you and I met up a couple years ago at my place on richter. We blazed pretty hard if i remember correctly.
I'm down for any kind of LAN or Barcraft or Gaming in general. Feel free to add me.
Kakari.318
|
Yeah I was a big stoner noob back then; I was pretty out of it, sorry lolol. Nice to see you still around ^_^
My brother would definitely come out with me to a local Barcraft, but that would still give us like 8 or 9 if everyone was available in just the Kelowna area. If some guys from Penticton/Vernon/Armstrong/Kamloops maybe we could get a dozen? I'm not sure how many we would need though, I don't know the first thing about organizing a Barcraft.
|
On a side note, if anyone ever orders Pizza from dominos ask for Taylor L to deliver. Thats me, we can chat SC2 and maybe watch a game.
I'm pretty sure someone from here got my wife to deliver to them about 2 weeks ago, they were streaming SC2 to there Big screen and my wife said something about it since she knows all about SC2.
Got her a big tip, thanks to whoever did that!
|
Sweeet, just for the dominos on the east side of the bridge I take it?
|
Hihi, you can throw my brother Vezer (vernon) in the list because he'd be down for BARCRAFT or whatever. Also, someone has to rep vernon. Also, I was watching your stream at work, its pretty damn funny/good. Also, carrot cake, that is all.
|
I used to live in Penticton, shame things went bad with wife number 2 else I'd so be signing up for this. Still, all the best lads
|
Penticton here. Plat Zerg. Limelight 815
|
cool to hear theres a community out there.. if you guys ever run a tournament let us know, there would be a few vancouver guys wanting to come for sure.

Hey, I know your brother - Richard!
Hahaha. He's a cool guy.

i spend like 2 mouths of the summer in the Okanagan.fuck i love that place
|
yoyo from okanagan, actually i think i have you on my bnet friends grobyc! I would love to play around on a lan or something! Also if people want to start up a barcraft let me know, i may be able to make it work. I run poker leagues in and around kelowna and Penticton right now so I know the owners personally and i'm sure they wouldn't mind showing starcraft on a sunday afternoon/night or something for MLG or any other big tournament (dreamhack/nasl etc etc) Let me know if you guys are interested and I can try to set something up for MLG orlando!
|
oh yea if anyone wants to play games or anything i'm on almost every night after 11 or if i'm not working then pretty much on all day haha.

MLG Orlando Oct 14-16 They don't have the SC2 schedule posted yet, but I think it might be good to still get the ball rolling early. What places did you have in mind to host it? The sooner we pick a location the easier it will be to inform people when/where to go. I'm not sure about poker leagues but since MLG runs all weekend would we organize it to be a weekend event or just the finals/grand finals on Sunday?
|
Hey, I'm over in Edmonton and I have some family up in Kelowna. My uncle manages/owns a Bar and I could probably get him to run a Barcraft if you guys needed a contact.
PM me for info.

I think I'll try hosting the finals of a dreamhack/nasl/etc here at my place as well. I'll give the date and place when that time comes closer.
If mastaphat can't get something rolling then maybe we could get you to give it a shot Gofarman.

|
I think it will most likely just be for championship sunday because they probably want to keep the bar more open for music/diff entertainment for friday/sat
I will speak with the owners of Friends Pub just across the bridge. He has a big projection TV and nice little seating area where I do poker that would be perfect for everyone to enjoy the starcraft. I will speak with him tomorrow and keep you guys updated!
|
anyone know the owners/managers of PC bang? i'm sure they would jump on board for a lan tournament if we spoke to them. We can also talk to local business's to see if they will be willing to sponsor prizes.
I've done a few charity poker tournaments and have asked business's before about stuff like this so i'd be willing to definitely help out.
|
I went to the Friends pub across the bridge (I live on the west side) a couple weeks ago; nice little place that would be great for it.
I've got a friend who works at PC bang, so I'll see if I can run it across him, but he doesn't have any kind of managerial position. Worth a shot anyways though.
|
WOOT.
buchholtz.904 penticton <3'

Okay, so my roommate would like to have the place to himself Saturday (tomorrow I suppose) and wants me to scram for the evening, so I was wondering if anyone in the area is down to meet up a pub/bar and get to know each other while knocking a few back. I live on the west side of Kelowna, but I can head across the bridge just as easily. If anyone's interested and/or has a good place in mind drop a comment here. It would be 7pm onwards; I need to be gone for at least a couple hours. I'll send out a few PMs too

HEY GUYS!
I spoke with the owners of friends pub and he's down to let us set up and watch starcraft whenever we like, just gotta give him a bit of notice (just incase for private functions or whatever).
Dreamhack Valencia is going on next saturday, i'm not sure if thats too soon or not. I believe after that we will be having IPL 3 which is another major tournament, it runs Oct 6-9. So the 9th would be championship sunday!
Please leave a message if you are interested in coming to watch this event! I would like to get a rough head count to tell the owners if they will be needing an extra server or two!
If anyone here is good at setting up tvs/comps and are more knowledgeable in that area I will probably need your help too. We can get two computers going at once so the main big projection tv will have 1 and the side tvs can run the others if you guys want. I'm not sure how you guys will want to run it but i'm sure it'll work out!
Anyways, any suggestions/ideas/thoughts, please let me know and lets make this work! Super stoked!

If you or anyone else is down for a meetup for a few brews sometime this weekend, I'm down also.
PS. Anywhere but roses is cool with me, that place gives me a headache.

Its called Friends Pub, Just across the bridge. at the 2nd lights after the bridge you will see the pub on your left hand side along with a gas station.
|
Awesome, thanks Duy <3 I'm a computer geek and I think I can take the task of helping set up the monitors/computers/streams. I'll send out a wave of PMs and see if we can get this rolling. Following mastaphats directions to the pub, it's just on the left of the highway after a couple minutes after you cross the bridge. Name on google maps is "Friends Neighbourhood Pub Inc" if you want to google maps it.
I was sporting my TL shirt walking around campus yesterday Bowzer, hoping someone would see me, but I guess you must have missed me. I have an overly large amount of breaks this semester, so I'll start hanging around the pit as well.
I'm thinking I might just pick Friends pub for tomorrow night as well so some of us can map it out in advance (and I don't have to cross the bridge in my crappy car ^^).
I sent PMs to some people out of town who said they might be able to come. A lot were from Kamloops, so if you guys are iffy on driving down just for this maybe some of you can carpool to save on gas and keep each other company? :D

I'll definitely pop out to Friend's tomorrow night to tip back a pint or two
|
I'll be there tomorrow for sure man.
It's only a 10 minute drive from where I live.
How will we know who the barcraft people are when we get there?
Also, what time should we get there?
|
7pm would be okay for Friends pub tomorrow? I'll be wearing my winged horse TL shirt. Hope to see you guys then
|
I would be wearing my Gracken shirt, but it hasn't arrived yet.
I'll be there between 7 and 8 then :D
|
See you dudes at 7, I have no SC gear but will look for a shining blue TL shirt
|
|
this thing is definitely picking up steam, just from my events page i have 13 confirmed and 8 maybe, i'd say we already have a solid 15-20 ready to go already!
TELL ALL THE PEOPLE!!!
|
I'll be there :D, see you guys at 7.
|
|
I live near Orchard Park if anyone wants to share a cab back into town.
I don't plan on being sober enough to drive myself :D
|
Should I bother bringing my laptop?
|
Not today, were just going to meet up. Bringing electronics to a bar is not very social.
|
I think he was referring to Oct 9th. May as well bring it yeah, but tonight I think we're good .
I'll be leaving in about an hour and a half wearing mah winged horse shirt: http://www.teamliquid.net/store/
|
I'll be leaving in 45 mins, see you guys there :D
|
Hey. Just started at UBCO last week. I don't really play much, just random customs with some old WoW friends, but I watch almost religiously and am way more into Liquibet than I should be (I used to gamble a lot =D). Would definitely be interested in a barcraft for DreamHack and/or MLG. I'm not that familiar with the city yet since I just moved here from Ontario, but I figure I've got a month until DH to figure out the bus routes. Cheers!

Hey I'm from Kamloops! add me up plz. Ruyguy.382
|
|
Hi, I am from Salmon Arm, spasm.230.
|
I don't really use steam, so you probably won't find me on there.
Added new IDs to the list.
Bowzer is a Terran hating Zerg btw, so he should be easy to identify next month ^_^
I seriously think we are going to have 60-80 people coming to this. More and more people keep saying they will O_O
|
Yeah man it's going to be a blast!
I only hateraid on Terran when I get drunk.
And I was blitzed last night.
|
Do we have a reddit up on the barcraft page for this next event?
|
|
|
Grobyc, I didn't know someone so awesome lived so close!
I'm still a minor so no barcraft for me.
dudecrush.176 (Okanagan)
|
Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment .
You might still be able to come, but just not drink at the barcraft! I'll talk to a couple people and try to figure out for you.
Whereabouts do you live in the Okanagan? I'm trying to group the Kelownians/etc together in the OP.
5 pages now, woot!
|
As soon as we figure out what time the games start I'll go ahead and toss up a reddit article.
We should also post this in the official Barcraft thread.
|
hmm screw it, this is shameless advertising but i'm going to do it anyways.
I run poker at friends pub also! If you guys play poker you should come out and show me your skills. I have nightly/monthly/and championship prizes. Every thursday at 7:30!
|
I'm down for some poker, as long as it's no limit with a reasonable buy in :D
Also, are they cash games or mini tournies? Cash games make me a sad panda.
On another note, I'm going to make up some flyers for next months Barcraft and post them around the OC college campus. I'll post a link to the flyer on this thread so if anyone from UBCO or wherever wants to do the same you can just download the image.
|
I already messaged Grobyc regarding this, but I figured the thread is already topped, and for poker (lol,) so I don't feel bad posting :3 if you've got any local event announcements that you'd like me to give attention to on my podcast (esportscanada.net) let me know here or at cedriccook1 at esportscanada dot net. I'm sure I can get the word out to a few local people who might not know, considering I have listeners from places like Europe :D
|
Grobyc is the guy to talk to, but yeah man, we're having a big Barcraft for the ipl3 finals next month oct 9th.
You can see the event page here: Linky
We're already expecting over 60 people, but even more is even better. Start it off strong, you know?
PS. I'll be sure to listen to that podcast :D
|
To the guys organizing this I tip my hat to you. Gonna try and bring a truck load or two from kamloops. We should organize an okanagan LAN in the near future
|
|
I made the reddit post a while back. Will be there on Oct. 9th.

Kamloops will be there! I've wanted barcraft for years. I hope not to drive.
|
I miss you my friend It feels like it's been years but just a few months

Awesome-sauce, I love the initiative everyone is showing on this.
It's gonna be an awesome weekend.
Hopefully I won't be too hung over for thanksgiving Monday.

On a side note, I have about 20 people from my COSC class that may or may not show up.
They sounded excited though, and started ranting about Protoss being OP, they are like silver and gold level most of them.
|
Why's that? Because I'd like to remember some of this Barcraft, unlike our meet up last weekend.

I'm still a minor so no barcraft for me. Anyone know of a community place we can all meet up at? I have a younger brother that is into SC as well we should organise something other than just the barcraft. Any ideas?

Is anyone down for going out for some drinks tonight? (Friday the 16th) I work tonight untill about 8:30 but i can do anything after then. Feel free to text me 250-864-1998 Just be sure to mention your from Tl.net

I think it would be super cool if some of us organized a big lan tournament. We would need to talk to PC bang and get some prizes organized but I think we could really make it work.
I was thinking about this the other day and it would be too difficult to have multiple leagues, so in keeping with the "just for fun" theme I would recommend something like this
1v1 Tournament - open bracket any league
2v2 Tournament - Platinum Teams and up
3v3 Tournament - Bronze/silver/gold players only
or just 1v1 tournaments
bronze/silver divison gold/plat division diamond + division
Ideas/thoughts?

Hey, add me to that list! Moved to Kelowna a few weeks ago (a block or so from the H20) for UBCO. SC2 ID is Bosma.565.
Grobyc, if you can find out whether minors can come to the Barcraft, that'd be great. I'm only 18, but I'd love to watch SC2 with others. A tournament at the PC Bang would be kickass, I'd support it.
|
Alright, we talked to the pub owner and he says he can't legally let you guys in because it is a pub and not a 'bar & grill', sorry :/
|
Does anyone know where I can get mushrooms?
|
bowzer dont be an idiot....
nice this is gonna be swag
|
Did anyone watch Dreamhack Valencia yesterday? It was amazing!
|
Hey guys, planning to go out on tuesday night at about 8:30. Will update with a pub in the next 24 hours.
|
How long has this been a thing? I've been missing out Count me in for pretty much anything going on, I'll be in Kelowna come October. Feel free to add me on SC too McCue.822

Since last MLG I suppose, people have been finding it on their own. ALL HAIL THE POWER OF THE INTERNET!
|
I know the Okanogan is a while outside of Vancouver, but we have had some pretty large scale tournaments and events with some pretty cool prizes, and it's only going to get better so if you guys ever decide to make the drive down you can check out all the events coming up by checking out 604Starcraft on facebook, twitter or on TL here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=248898
I hope some of you guys make it out to meet our awesome community.
|
Everyone ok with going to Brandts in Glenmore? I posted my number earlier in the thread. Text me for more info. mention TL.
|
Anyone else wanting to come out tonight? I got Grobyc coming out and Hopefully TheSpam. It would be great to have a huge turnout. Again text me for more info.
|
Hey, I'm up in Kelowna as well. Going to keep track of this thread for any upcoming stuff. Lindorn.295
|
Were going to friends in west kelowna
The mushroom thing was my roommate, sorry for that, I should log out on weekdays
|
|
Yeah I saw that too. I'll mention it to mastaphat since he organized it for the most part and we can fill it out afterwards
|
Hey I'm from Salmon Arm! I was very surprised to see this on TL, I'd probably be down for a Lan
|
feel free to fill out grobyc! i'm mostly busy all the time so if u got a few minutes to spare do it up!
|
Okay. Some of the questions are post-barcraft related (how many people turned up, etc, etc), so I'll have to wait till then to do it.
|
If all you bad kids want a SC2 tournament at PC Bang, I suspect I could convince the owner to make it happen.
|
I'd be game for that, Nodrog.
|
I'm so stoked for this. This will be my first barcraft. The first of many?
|
see how this one goes and maybe we can do it again for MLG orlando
|
i'm not talented enough yet to do this tournament but i'm sure some of you are! gl if you enter

Hey sup guys, I'm Zarkze, just recently saw there was an Okanagan Starcraft group. I live in the Okanagan as well and I'm always looking for more practice partners.
I'm high plat terran, probably going diamond in the next few weeks, and I'd love some people to bounce ideas with. Add me: Zarkze.401 if you're interested.
|
Also, I should probably mention this: I own a diner in West Kelowna, right on main street.
Zach's Family Diner. I'm open Tuesday to Sunday, and my hours are as follows:
Tuesday-Thursday: 8:30 am to 5 30 pm. Friday-Saturday: 9 am-6 pm Sunday: 9 am- 3 pm
I would be super stoked to see any of you come in. I would also be receptive to the idea of hosting a Barcraft type event on a Sunday after hours of course. I have one TV in here and I'm working on getting a computer. I have Wi-Fi aswell, so feel free to bring laptops.
One of my future plans is to either start coaching at the diner after hours (once I'm masters LOL) and also to find a way to host tournaments. But that is a ways away for now!
Any thoughts and or feedback, PM me here, Add me on SC2 Zarkze.401 or email me at zachpack14@hotmail.com
I have a facebook page for the diner as well: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Zachs-Family-Diner/175331752523596

I'm in the Okanagan sometimes. Just a Gold league zerg...trying to get some games so I can get better and learn, hopefully get into a higher league. Invite me if you want: Raloki. 421. Would love any info on a barcraft around here. Thx.

For barcraft next week, Do we have tables reserved? I might come early.
|
Sunday, October 9th: 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. - Round 2 (Remaining 3 series, hourly) 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. - Quarterfinals (4 series total, hourly) 5:00 p.m. - Semi-Final Series 1 (best of 5!) 8:30 p.m. - Semi-Final Series 2 (best of 5!) 10.00 p.m. - Grand Finals (best of 7!)
|
I.E I'm going to be there all day lol. If you come down early we can chill barry :D. I think we should head out to Zachs diner tomorrow for dinner or something hehe
|
Yeah man you guys are welcome to come. Just get here before six! :D:D:D otherwise I'm lockin the door and running home to practise!
|
Trozz, I will be having a full section of the place reserved for us, best seats in the house is on first come first serve!
To be honest tho, every seat has a good view.
I will also be attempting to get it on all the tvs in there
maybe leave one for the football fans or something in the corner haha.
Also, thanks spam for posting that up for sunday! I believe it is eastern time that they quoted in the IPL 3 thread but not sure, can anyone confirm for me? If so then the finals will be at 7 that night not 10.
Also, if you haven't already joined the fb event page then do so, i would love to get a close number as to who is all going (but really at this point i think its going to be a huge event anyways)
Peace
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=233294273387435

ok, i just checked the IPL thread and someone from IPL responded to me and confirmed that all times are easter time so
7 a.m. - 10 a.m. - Round 2 (Remaining 3 series, hourly) 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. - Quarterfinals (4 series total, hourly) 3:00 p.m. - Semi-Final Series 1 (best of 5!) 5:30 p.m. - Semi-Final Series 2 (best of 5!) 7.00 p.m. - Grand Finals (best of 7!)
Friends opens at 11 am, I will be there a little earlier to set up so come anytime after 10:59!
Food there is really good too! and apparently their caesars are amazing! (not a caesars fan, just heard from other people)
|
I'll be there early with mastaphat too, hopefully we don't have any technical difficulties :D
I concur, the last time I went there the burger I had was delicious. The fries were actually pretty amazing too. Not too crunchy, not too soft, and a good amount of salt.
|
I'll be there around noon, I want good seats!!
|
we'll have 10 cosc and like 12 nten students, if we have any technical difficulties, we might as well commit suicide.
|
yeah, I meant more so on the IPL side
|

Yay, SC2 is winning in the PC bang poll now <3 edit: Details for a SC2 Tournament have been posted in store. We'll make an official fb post within a day or so. It's October16th at 1pm. Pre-Sign up in store to reserve your spot etc. Fuck yeah, time to tear some shit up.
I had a dream last night that I woke up at like 6pm this Sunday and missed barcraft. I was so sad ;_;
|
|
bumping thread, I used to live in the kootenays so good enough right? good luck have fun in your warm mountain/valley areas
|
I'm hosting the pc bang tournament, any suggestions/questions? Let me hear em.
|
- Like TheSpam said, I think a lot of people would enjoy some form of stream/commentary. The Okanagan SC2 community looks like it's starting to grow, so you may as well take an initiative. - Are we are allowed to use our own keyboard and mouse? - If there a due date that we have to bring in our signup money by?
|
You can use your own keyboard and mouse, (I might also suggest bringing headphones).
The due date is when the tournament starts for sign ups BUT if it fills up then obviously one would be too late. I'm capping the 1v1 at 32 and the (first?) 2v2 at 8teams (16players). Anything is subject to change but our store is only so big before we start to violate fire codes. My intention is to do multiple smaller tournaments so people can have a second chance to compete as the main event is a single elimination best of 3 bracket. This way people arn't forced to stay in and play for no chance of winning. The alternative was doing double elimination as in the LOL tournament I hosted but with 32 players playing best of 3s it would just run too long.

Streams start at 10am tomorrow, what time does the venue open?

I want to know to. bunch of us are driving in from Kamloops and want to know whats up. Grobyc could you please give us a brief timeline for tomorrow? should we bring laptops? should we bring chairs? food? what time?
|
The pub opens at 11am, and according to IPL3, the games are going to last until approximately 7pm. Me and mastaphat are getting there early to help set up, so you shouldn't need to bring anything other than money for food + drinks. We shouldn't need any extra laptops or chairs or anything. I'm assuming you aren't allowed outside food inside the pub, but if you want to bring a lunch or whatever to go otuside and eat during a break that'll be fine too.
If you can't find Friend's neighbourhood pub on google maps, it's about a 2 minute drive across the main bridge on the west side right at your left beside the Macs corner store/gas station.
If you get lost or something feel free to call/text me @ 250-718-5721

Got about 7 people here so far
Edit: 20 or so now

An awsome event. This was such a good location, and thanks for all who took initiative and put this thing together! We need to do this again sometime. NASL finals? and make sure everyone from around the area makes it out. Good food. Good crowd of people. Good beer. More 1v1 showmatches next time
|
How did I get home, fucking blackout yay
Whoever drove me home wins the internet
|
Have I ever told you I like your quote Bowzer?
:D
I thought it turned out pretty well. All together we had probably about 60-65 unique faces show up. The only real downer was the stream lag, but we had it working alright at the end I suppose. Perhaps the next one will be for NASL 2 finals.

Nihility.881 I am a master league terran. I only play when drinking whiskey and smoking BC bud. Right now I am in Ontario for school but I will be back in the summer. Hope to see some of you at a barcraft sometime... it is too bad this thread popped up at the end of the summer; I was hosting intoxicated LANs in my basement a few times a week in July/Aug. Please add me if you like to play custom 1v1's
|
Barcraft was so fun. :D I'm glad we dodged watching LoL. Nice "For ESPORTS" shot.
|
Now that my hangover has subsided nearly 3 days after this event, good times.
Next one though is gonna be sobercraft for me.
Or maybe just Bongcraft
|
lolol, you say that now... When is the next one by the way?
|
Did we get around to filling out the post Barcraft blizzard memo?
Some lessons learned: Drinking: +Shooters with Bowzer is hilariousness "FUCK, AMERICA!" -Is expensive, especially when members of the community are too drunk to pay their bill before leaving. ಠ_ಠ =As a community I hope you know we are definitely going to Okanagan Fest-of-Ale. My NTEN class took the greyhound out in 2010, "happiest place on earth".
Technical: +Wireless preformed well -Mac (without HDMI) =IGN needs better hosting for IPL4
Show matches: +Played during the League of Legends 'intermission' -Needs a caster (not to commentate) so that we can see both sides, also to divert drunken nerds which leads too, ~Apology: I feel bad about harassing whomever was playing Zerg about the hatchery... Drinking does not lead to constructive criticism and me and Bowzer both cringed vocally. It takes effort to play in front of people even more so when your screen is on a projector. =Bring a laptop next time
Conclusion: +I had a great time and am looking forward to the next event!
If anyone has anything else to add that will make the next Barcraft an even better experience please do!

Bongcraft sounds awesome. "Blazin like a colossus" I have a Zerg pipe.

|
Yeah I think everything was okay in the end. The guy (*cough* josh *cough*) was outside for a smoke or something and went in to pay it at the end.
I agree another laptop would have been nice to connect so we could have 1v1 with obs and put the obs on the projector.
|
Bowzer, you paid for like four people dude!
|
lol damn it i should've stayed longer so bowzer could pay mine too jk
I'm glad you all had fun! Thanks again for my partner in crime in all this (Grobyc).
Its too bad MLG orlando is next weekend and blizzcon is the weekend after. I am thinking of doing another barcraft for the MLG championships in Providence (November). I'm sure Friends wouldn't mind the business again, but if there is another place you guys want to hold it at then we can host it there instead. Personally, I think i may be addicted to friends caesars... Where are those kamloops people at?! I want to play some games with you guys and perhaps do a shot of tequila over skype sometime haha.
Add me kamloops people, or anyone else in this thread that wants to play

Yeah I'm watching it on my home setup, 3 monitors for the win!
So what time is the thing at PCBang tomorrow?
|
So what time is the thing at PCBang tomorrow? "Check in before 12:30PM! First round starts at 1:00PM sharp"
|
So who else is going to be joining me there?
We have a big screen set up now which we can use to post brackets, stream the MLG tournament or even shout cast our finals match. The possibilities!!!
|
I'll show up, I just gotta find the place.
Is it by Orchard Park on Harvey Ave?
|
It's in rutland right beside the 711
|
|
I think so. The PC bang moved locations at the beginning of the summer or something, so you probably won't find it on google maps itself, but I think that's the right 7-11. Just turn right when you're on the main highway on to Kelowna-Rock Creek HW (corner where Costco is) and go straight a few blocks, where you will find the 7-11 on your right hand side.
|
They have a link right on their website...
But so you cannot possibly miss it, THIS BUILDING!
|
|
+ Show Spoiler +So I ended up sweeping it 7-0 since there was only 8 people in the tournament \o/
I have Friday off and I think it would be nice to have a little meetup at Zachs diner this Friday since it's the only weekday I don't have school hehe (you gotta start paying me to plug you zach). Anyone in?
|
I didn't know we had a community in the Okanagan! I would love to attend events and chill out. I'm living in West Kelowna and attending OC.
|
Cool, I'm West Kelowna and OC too. What program are you in?
|
First year Writing and Publishing, you? Does OC have a starcraft club or anything?

Nope, not as far as I know. I'm in my third year doin network and telecom engineering.

Too bad it closes at 5:30, I get off work at 3:30 on the other side of the bridge...
|
Can get there for 4:00? Maybe Zarkze will leave it open a bit longer for us if we need it ;o
|
|
Hey guys, we should do barcraft for MLG Providence ?!?!?!?!?!? Yay Nay?
|
Sounds good to me. About a month from now, so people should have plenty of time to book the finals day off work. Should be another Sunday (as always?).
I'm serious about the diner this Friday btw. If you wanna come let us know in here so we know how big of a table we need.
|
Hahaha Hey guys. Friday I close at 6. So you have more time to show up Also, side note, I have like, max capacity of like 24 seats. So try not to zerg me too much.
|
And i mean, I wont kick you guys out at 6 either but if you come after 6, the doors are probably locked LOL.
|
Okay Off topic now. Why am i seeing stuff about new units for the new expansion? I knew there would be new units incorporated into multiplayer. But have you guys seen the silhouettes? The Terran one looks like a hellion transformation, the protoss one looks like a meaner Pheonix. and the zerg one kinda looks like a possible lurker comeback from BW.

Please add me to the list. I'm from Kelowna and love SC2.
I'm quoting Statyk here becuase what he said is exactly what I wanted to say about myself:
"Long time lurker, first time poster here. Just wanted to give a shout-out to the Okanaganites. I'm from Kelowna and would definitely be up for a couple custom games/LAN/etc.
Feel free to PM me here, or chat me up ingame -- Justice.937"

I'll swing by Zach's on Friday for sure. I get off work around 4:30, so could be out there around 5:15... anyone have directions?
|
Go across the bridge to the west side on the main highway as if you were heading to peachland. When you get to downtown west kelowna (past the wal-mart, zellers, mcdonalds, etc) you will see a petro canada on your right at a set of street lights. It will be 1-way highway traffic at this point. Zachs diner is almost directly across the street/highway on your left. You should be able to see it standing at the petro canada.
|
Yep! What Grobyc said! if you just follow the highway till you get past the petro can, you should see my sign Big ass "Diner" Sign on the right side of the highway. If you miss it, then idk what to say. <3
|
|
Little bit excited! Blizzcon this weekend, and we get to see the new units for HotS! And GSL finals. And Blizzcon tourney. Why are there so many good tourneys every weekend! this is awesome
|
We still up for going to the dinner early evening (4:15ish)? If there isn't a solid 3 or 4 people who will come I guess we'll put it off another day.
|
Sorry I missed the tourney, I got a call from this chick in my course and she wanted me to help her study.
Sry about that bros... BTW I'm unbanned now :D
Cant make it out to the diner tonight cause I have a tennis tourney match to get to.
Will def come to mlg providence barcraft though.
Should I bring my laptop?

Ou! ladder map pool change. Excited. :D

Found a neat custom. It adds a 4th robot race. It's called 'mecha test'.
|
So, OkSC community what's the plan? Sobercraft next? Where? Does anyone know a place with a projector we can gather around? The only idea I have is a movie theater, better to watch quality gaming than Hollywood garbage IMO.
|
Why not place me on list?
|
I've only been adding people who have a more specific location, but I'll just start adding people who don't specific further at the bottom of the list.
I've had my hands kind of full this month, so I haven't been working on anything in particular, but I might start trying to throw something together after my midterms and stuff are over with.

Hey Wilco, I'm Zarkze. Or Zach. which ever you wanna call me. I'm looking to improve my coaching skills, (currently coaching my dad LOL), and I can give you basic tips on both Terran and Toss. If you're looking for zerg help though, I can probably introduce you to someone

I may have the opportunity to find a place to have a Barcraft for MLG Providence in Vernon i just wanna know how many ppl would be interested. Also there would have to be a door fee to pay for the space (10-15$) but the place has a decent Bar
|
I've got a projector/laptop setup in my family room we could gather 'round some time. I definitely wouldn't suggest it for MLG Providence, but any smaller tournament where there isn't a full-fledged Barcraft would be alright. Could easily make comfortable seating for about 12 people.

Hey Zarkze, I added you in game. Unfortunately I am a zerg player. But it will still be nice to have someone to play against to learn some good ZvP and ZvT.

Nice nice. I deff know a liiiiiiittle bit of zerg, but nothing really super specific. (mostly from having fought against them ).
I added you in game too, but i missed you the other night. sorry about that!

While it would be easier for me if it was in Kelowna, I'd make the effort to go to a Barcraft in Vernon. The $10 to $15 cover charge is fine with me.

Hey guys, take a look at the thread mastaphat (Duy) made if you haven't already: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=284779
We've got an MLG Providence BarCraft in the works at Friends Pub again in Kelowna. The date is Sunday, November 20th, 11am-7pm. Facebook page is here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=138063166299739. If you're a bit out of town, i.e. Vernon, Penticton, Kamloops, etc, see if there's a handful of guys in your area that wouldn't mind carpooling. We had a bunch of people from all over the Okanagan come last time, so hopefully we can build up another nice crowd.
I'm going to bring my laptop again as well as my 5.1 surround sound speakers for the audio, and we should have another 720p HD stream (*crosses fingers for no technical difficulties*), but my HDMI cable might be a little short. If anyone's got an 8 foot+ HDMI cable we can borrow for the event then please let me know.
I'm going to send out a wave of PMs to potentially interested users as well with a link to this post.
Any details or further information will be posted as next weekend comes closer, so be sure to check in with the facebook page as well as here every now and then to catch any updates. Hope to see you guys there!

you're so sexy when u work hard baby
|
|
Nice I will be attending this :D
|
I will be there, have been looking forward to this since I missed the last one.
|
Awesome, Fellner offered to bring his 20 ft HDMI cable for us, so I think we're set now. Everyone make sure to bring lots of people and spread the word; all we need now is lots of people to come ^.^
|
it'd be cool if some people can bring laptops or computers and we can play some showmatch fun games during down time
|
|
Oh cool, nice to see it added to the list. I'll have my laptop to play on; TheSpam (Chris) is going to bring his, so we'll have at least two. Three would be nice though, so then we can have an observer stream the showmatch games on the projector instead of just one players first person like last time. I'm sure we have enough nerds coming that that won't be a problem, but if someone is willing to offer their SC2-capable laptop in advance that would be great so that we don't show up with thirty of em.
|
i will have my laptop too although its a smaller screen so if ur not used to it u will go into straight rage mode trying to micro hahaha
|
nah I'll just rage because it's a mac and not capable of HDMI
|
|
I will definitely be going to this. See you guys there!

Kelowna has a starcraft community? What? And a Barcraft? Really?
|
|
If anyone want's to play SC2 on Sunday remember to bring Earbuds!
|
Super pumped I found this. Seeyou all tomorrow. Snittzelov 638 is my tag. Masters Toss. Down to play or practice whenever.
|
Well that was a crappy grand-final...
|
UBCO Starcraft club. if your a student look it up on facebook
|

MLG Providence Barcraft - Recap time! 1. MLG had a smaller turnout than IPL3. There are a huge number of reasons that this happened: less notice, bridge collapse, snow, not a long weekend... 2. Connectivity Wireless was bad so we dropped a cable in next to the projector. Streams should not be choppy from our side from now on! 3. Show matches/Laddering/Commercial breaks IPL3 was nice because it had a massive League of Legend's break in the middle that allowed us to play a show matches. MLG format was less structured and Skylar was laddering when grand-final started. I thought it was hilarious to watch everyone huddled around the 14 inch laptop screen. I'm not sure if MLG even has a printable schedule but we will try to avoid that next time. 4. Keyboard I heard your complaints. I'll bring a full keyboard next time! 5. One more laptop, please! If you have a SC2 capable device please bring it!

Hi I live in kelowna and would be interested in anything tournaments events that go on. I'm 24 and play zerg.
|
This thread's seemed to really die down. Is interest waning, or is it just a lack of MLG's and NA tourney's going on?
|
Mostly the lack of tournaments, as well as I've been pretty busy the past couple months so I haven't bothered to organize anything. I'm hoping to put something together for February sometime. I'm still keeping an eye on the thread though.
|
T.T invermere, just too far away.
|
we should do an online cup. just saying if ppl are interested i will run it and try to raise a small prize. let me no
|
|
Currently at the Lock-in event in Edmonton @ Overklocked! Bunch of SC2 players here, Grobyc could taken them :D
|
|
Curious if anything is in the works for MLG Winter Arena this weekend?
Edit: Or Assembly i suppose?
|
coool page here kinda soloing it at sc right now looking for some training partners who are from the okanagan(im from kelowna). Insomniak.176 Silver Terran
|
Didn't know there was a starcraft scene in kelowna.
|
|
Nice to see interest still growing
I didn't have anything for MLG/Assembly this weekend, but I'm looking in to something for the next big event.
|
Hey guys, I've coordinated with Tristan from eSports Canada in hopes to work together regarding the growth of the StarCraft scene in the Okanagan. For starters, we've made a facebook group as well as a twitter that I will update regarding news of barcrafts, tournaments, and other starcraft related events here in the Okanagan:
Like us on Facebook and follow us on twitter to stay up to date with current events!

Twitter (@OkanaganEsports)
By working with and being a part of eSports Canada, we hope to increase awareness of the Starcraft scene in the area, gain valuable expertise and experience from other areas, and ultimately raise funding, provide prizes, and much more for local tournaments and events! What we need is your support to do so though; help us grow and achieve great things for the Okanagan!

Are you implying there is such thing as Zack's Diner-Craft? Milkshakes > Beer!
|
Hahahaha well, I am at work, and the stream is on my laptop. I just don't have a way of setting it up to the TV.
So you're welcome to come watch! Stephano vs Puma right now! like 2 minutes!
|
Wow 50k viewers to watch stephano rock the show. He's my hero!
|
11 am marks the Grand Finals for ASUS RoG. If anyone feels like it, thats 2 hours to get to the diner! i dont have much room so maybe not all 50 thousand of you.

Hey guys! I'm bored! And having to wait till april for a tournament is super lame! so why don`t we set something up ourselves!? maybe get a bunch of us together, could be an online cup, could be a tourney at PC bang or something, maybe we could even cast the games ourselves on TL and help promotes some okanagan starcraft!
I don't know! what are your thoughts?

Sounds fun. Count me in.
|
Awesome, got a couple responses about the tournament, so that's great. although I have no idea how to even approach starting something like this!
|
Have you joined the BarCraft Okanagan Facebook page? Get some discussion going on in there. I'd be happy to provide any advice I can. I'm sure grobyc would be willing to help, too.
|
Yup, I'd love to make an effort for some pre-IPL4 action. I've got it in mind this week, but I can't promise anything in the next couple days; I've got a really busy week at school coming up. Me and Zarkze were discussing it previously and there were a few things to keep in mind no matter what we do, so I'll leave some of these things with you guys and if you have any recommendations we'll make sure to consider them:
- As much as I'd love to spew out money for local tournaments, I'm a broke college student. We would need some kind of sponsor unless everyone wanted to play for funsies.
- PC Bang closed down, so we need a place to host it. Completely online? Another PC cafe (I don't know all of them in Kelowna, I think there's like X-zone?) ? If we do it at a PC cafe people would still need to pay for computer use on top of any kind of entry fee we may or may not need for the prize pool.
- We need enough time and ways to market the tournament to give us as much local interest as possible. Wouldn't it be amazing if we were overbooked for tournament? I know the last one at PC bang had like 10 people in it.
- Formatting - what kind of tournament format would you prefer? Single elimination? Double? etc etc
|
I wouldn't mind either an online tourney or a PC cafe, provided I could make the time to be there. It would have to be at night of course for me atleast.
As for a prize pool I suppose it would attract players but I don't really have any money to give out for something like that. THat or we do buy ins but that I think would reduce the amount of players we would get.
I could alway just make it a Diner Tournament and have prizes for 1st 2nd and 3rd or something. Like meals or something, but then again money always trumps prizes.
|
If this were to be a semi regular event, maybe we could spring for a trophy which the winner would keep until the next tournament. Kind of like a reigning champ type thing. Thoughts? This would be just a one time investment (assuming the winner doesn't run off with it), and something worth playing for I think.
|
I'm going to always try and be in channel Okanagan from now on.
|
Hey guys... you could try talking your local internet cafes into holding these events for free. Suggest it as an advertising opportunity/chance to bring in new customers. Here in Victoria, Stain Internet Cafe hosts these tournaments every 3 or 4 weeks and they are completely free--you do not have to pay for computer use. It brings a lot of people in.

That would be really cool! Thanks for the advice! Hopefully we can get enough hype going!
|
I feel like lack of initiative will be our downfall on this one...
|
I'm going around to talk to some places on Monday about the tournament as well as stopping by Friends to talk to them about the IPL4 barcraft during the afternoon since I have the day off. I've been really busy with work and school the past couple weeks, sorry.
Whenever and wherever it is, the tournament likely won't be before IPL4 to be completely honest. There's not enough time to advertise and organize it between now and IPL4 if we want to have it in between. The turnout will be much better if we hold on until a couple weeks after IPL4 or so, but I'm looking in to it now for then. I just don't want to get your hopes up.
I will post Monday after talking to friends pub with the details and an official announcement assuming they have no problems with us having it there again.
|
Hey! There happens to be at least one other Yukon-based Starcrafter here. I sent Talon a PM, and I have loads of relatives in the Okanagan (Summerland)- I might be able to come by in the late summer.
|
Sup KaYoS! who are your relatives in Summerland? I went to highschool there so i know alot of people!
|
So I'm heading out today to talk to the guys at friends pub to make sure there's no problems with having our IPL4 barcraft there again as well as going to some PC cafes to inquire about the tournament. Other than PC bang, the only other PC cafe I knew of in kelowna was X-zone. Does anyone know of any other places in the area that would be worth looking in to?
|
I was so sure it was Okinawa and wanted to enter with a "great" Karate Kid joke. Fail. :/
|
This tourney sounds like a great idea. If you guys need any help with planning let me know and I'd be more than happy to help.
|
Hey guys, so here's the update.
Everything is good with Friends pub, me and Zarkze went in and talked to them this afternoon. They have no problems with it whatsoever, and the place and setting will be virtually the same as last time. More information in the dedicated barcraft thread below: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=320154
As for the tournament, well there were some issues with that. PC bang closed down as we know, and after looking around some more we discovered X zone Elounge AND Droid Lan Centre have also both closed down. We weren't able to locate another PC cafe for the tournament, so as things stand now, it would just be online if we are to have one. Regardless, this wouldn't take place until after IPL4, so until we figure things out, don't get your hopes up quite yet.
Don't forget, follow Okanagan esports on facebook and twitter!:

Just wanted to give this a quick bump for people who may have missed it. The barcraft has been added to TLs barcraft database as well as iBarcraft :D

Stay tuned for some wicked prize announcements... let's just say for now those that come out to this event have a pretty good chance of scoring some wicked swag!
|
Hey guys, just gonna bump this quickly.
We're aiming to put up posters for the event (which are being made atm) at the Okanagan College campus and UBCO campus. I'm an OC student, so I should hopefully be able to put some up there on my own, but I think we'll need a UBCO student that has the authority to be able to put some up there. If you or someone you know is a UBCO student and could give me a hand it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Here it is folks... courtesy of Memory Express Computer Products and Cyber Gaming, we are excited to offer a Razer Maurader Keyboard and Spectre Mouse for those who attend IPL4! The keyboard will be by raffle and the mouse will cost you only your email address. There are other prizes, but these are the big ones. Spread the word and let's make this the biggest event in Kelowna yet!
|
|
Hey, I got a last minute request for you guys. Someone tampered with the lock on my locker at school which contained my laptop and I couldn't get it open to get my laptop for tomorrow; think we're gonna have to cut the lock. Anyway, is anyone able to bring a laptop tomorrow to run the stream on? It's 720p HD stream, so I'd imagine it must be at least a dual core. It would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
edit: got someone to help me out, everything's all good
|
I just moved to Kelowna and I've never met a person who played Starcraft seriously. Sad, I know, so I'm hoping y'all can help me out.
Xenoid #397 is my infos
I'm high diamond, with a goal to get into masters this season and I play Terran. Down for any kind of game so just msg me. I also like to smoke weed, watch hockey, and do other fun shit that gets done in Kelowna.

Introducing the Okanagan star league. This is a project that I have been working on to help put more events in the region and more lan experience for players.
It will be an open online season with a group stages much like NASL were each player will be ask to play one weekly match. The Top 8 will qualify to a live finals in Vernon that will hopefully be streamed on TL but will casted at the event regardless.
There will be an entry fee on 15$ the will help pay for prizes and the live event that can either be paid on pay pal or at the Downtown Internet Lounge in Vernon.
Registration will end on July 7 you and register PMing me on TL or email at OKstarleague@gmail.com. You can use the email to send the fee on pay pal.
This is open to anyone BC with the expectation that you will be able to drive to the finals if you qualify.
Thanks and I hope we can grow the Esports scene in the Okanagan.

I'd be interested if I have the time off. I've got work Thurs-Sun 7am-5p. I don't really follow GSL though so I don't know the schedule. I assuming it would be an early morning/late night thing?
|
Okay so it looks like at least 2 or 3 will be interested. Would be difficult to get a showing at a bar/pub with the time zone difference as well as too short notice. Someone have a place they would willingly volunteer for the occasion?
|
Yeah =/ late Friday night afaik
|
Hmmm if push comes to shove I might be able to host a little viewing at my place. Only can accommodate like 7-8 people max though, and I work at 7am the following morning, so people would need to be leaving in the morning and unable to stay the night, as I don't trust a bunch of strangers to crash out at my place when I'm not home (sorry!)
I'll see if we can find something better, but for now we can assume we have at least that.
|
sounds great! Pm'd you my digits as I'll be afk out looking at houses! Thanks man!
|
Cool, I'll give you a shout tomorrow with my address and such. We got at least one more as well.
|
Looks like we got at least 4 of us so far. I'll be hosting it at my house. Room for 2-3 more at the moment. PM me if interested.
|
seems crazy to me that there isnt enough players in ktown to have a decent little tourney.. too bad pcbang shut down

I'm curious if anybody's interested in getting together to watch Proleague one of these weekends? With the holidays coming up my schedule is fairly busy until the new year, but I'd be able to host in January. Have a projector set up in my living room that casts about an 8' screen, and have seating for maybe 8 people. The weekend matches are on at reasonable times -- Monday/Tuesdays are out of the question for me.
|
I would totally be down for that^
I'm sure some of you guys would be as well. Please speak up so we can actually make this happen

Would anyone from Kelowna want to carpool to Vernon on Saturday?
|
I'll carpool assuming I don't have to stay late for work and can actually make it, but I can't promise anything until I find out how much work I have on Saturday. If no one else offers, want me to give you a call Saturday morning/afternoon?
|
^^sounds good man, I'm kinda on the fence as well but if possible I'd like to make the trek. I can either drive or pitch gas money
|
If you two don't come I will punch a homeless bunny rabbit in the ears, thrice. Drinks after?
|
As if the poor homeless bunny wasn't down and out enough? You have to give him a savage beating? I'd be down for a couple drinks, you can show us the highlights of Vernonland.

edit: Oh Jeff, I lost your number when my old phone got busteded. Can has plz?
|
Potentially interested in this group! I am from the valley. Abbotsford specifically. LOVE STARCRAFT <3
|
damnit sucks to have missed this. need to check this thread more often
|
It was really fun ^_^
Quite a surreal feeling hanging with other SC2 nerds in person as compared to just playing with people online. There's a facebook group called BarCraft Okanagan where we post local SC2 stuffs, so if you're on facebook that's a great way to make sure you don't miss anything.

Great to see you Grobyc and Statyk, hope to see you at another event, and apparently I need to start using a stock keyboard, cause they're better ; )

Hey guys! You can update my status to "Kelowna".
When and where is the next barcraft/local tourney?
|
|
Oo Saturday, I will be there.
|
Not a whole lot of action in this thread lately dudes. Anything going on for Blizzcon this weekend? Gogo Jaedong!
|
Hmmm I'm in Alberta for work right now, but might be heading back home tomorrow. If that's the case I might be able to have a few people over to watch it at my place. Otherwise I'll just be watching on shitty wifi in my hotel room
|
Cool well feel free to give me a shout if you make it back home. My projector crapped out at home but I picked up a new 60" LED tv this week, anxious to fire up some streams haha
|
Nevermind... looks like I'm going to Edmonton for the rest of the month now. :S
Maybe there's a barcraft there
|
Eeeek sounds cold! Probably a bigger scene out there, good luck!
|
Hey guys,

|
