I'm quite sure, we will be a bit less than last time and K60 is aware of our hunger now. It's no restaurant but they can cook 4 meals at once so everybody should get something eventually. Please be patient. Thank you.
And another update: The tournament will start at 15:00 not 14:00, but feel free to come earlier and play Darts or whatever.
Me and a friend of mine would definitely visit a Barcraft in Darmstadt. (We're from Gießen) But i'm not familiar with Darmstadt, so i do not know any bar we could contact
Ok I updated my post... Today I got positive feedback at the Elektrotechnikfachschaft. Advertising there should be no problem. So we should reach a decent number of guests. Tomorrow I will call some bars and try to explain what Barcraft is^^.
603 and Schlosskeller are no bars and usually there are no chairs. Schlosskeller has a Beamer as far as I know but the mood in there is not good. Both are too big to open up for us on sunday and I can't promise them high numbers...
Fuck yeah! The manager of the K60 said the last Footballmatch on Sunday is not important and he would switch to SC2 if there are enough Fans. Self confident as I am I promised 25 Guests minimum :D, don't let me hanging... I still need to discuss the details with the manager but I think it's 90% sure it will happen.
I think I will give it a shot, Frankfurt -> Darmstadt isnt too far. If anyone coming by car heads towards Frankfurt after the show is finished please PM me, would hate to miss something because I have to catch my train :/

Holy crap, Darmstadt? That's just an hour away from Kaiserslautern where I live... I am heavily considering it, if there are people from Kaiserslautern interested on participating and need a hike, I might provide one, assuming I still have a couple seat left.
I'll ask another friend of mine, maybe he'll tag along.
I'll be coming, I've always wanted a barcraft nearby <3<3 unfortunately architecture students don't tend to be gamers >-< I'll do what I can to get some people coming :DD
Sheesh, quite a few guys from Darmstadt here ! I'm gone Friday to Sunday (Freshers' Weekend with the Math Freshmen haha !), but will return Sunday.. Hope me and my roommate will be able to tag along. :D
Wow, seems like we actually get a good crowd I'm really looking forward to the event.
To clarify the number of people, as I only said "a couple of friends" before: I can think of 5 friends who would come (don't know yet if they are free at that day, but they will probably come if they can) and they might also bring along a few others of their sc2-buddys, maybe 3-4 more but i'm not sure about that.
hey guys. I'm considering to attend. I live im Mainz myself so it's not that long of trip to Darmstadt. I btw love that you are putting effort into this. And I got a question on related matter: Is there like a list on TL that shows all the upcoming BarCrafts? One with the help of which you would be able to advertise "your" event? If not, I think that'd be a great feature

Suggest it in the website feedback section. It's a really good idea. I'm going to come from Mainz too btw.
well you could just bring a bit of tape or something to write names on and then just randomly sneak up on people, ask them for their name, write it on the tape and tape it on their chest. that's probably the best way to get to know everybody and the easiest way to have a reason to talk to every single person ;p

This might sound little blind-date-ish, but wanna take the trip together? My rl friends unfortunately don't give a rats ass about Starcraft. So I doubt one of them'll be tagging along. And a little company never hurt anybody

Ya I guess we could.
@Kulijo My female said she will come so I'll be there with +1 (weapons). :p
is it the Darmstadt in Frankfurt/Frankfort? (in germany?) if yes i would come. I made a name change so my name could change in the next days to sys.ReInForce so dont be irritated : )

I work in Darmstadt, so I'll definitely be there, great idea, I'll try to convince a few non-SC friends to come and watch it too! I had even no idea that there was such a big community, that's pretty cool!
from the reddit thread: "This is surreal. A barcraft in my small town on the third page of r/all. I actually thought about organizing a barcraft here or in Frankfurt when I have more time. This is incredible and I will definitely be there" ... was the best post so far^^
Just updated. There won't be space problems. Smokers can smoke on the terrace while watching Starcraft like a boss. Check out the pics on their site. 100 persons are no problem, I hope we reach that number.
you think we could do some 1on1 battles before the streaming or int the breaks with 2 laptops and the beamer or so`? would be epic! and i would pawn ya all!

thats just 20 minutes away (when going by car), so i assume the issue for you is to not have one and so being unable to come due to missing public transportation around sundays at 2am? maybe someone can carpool with you if you want to go? ;P
I am there +3. (even convinced my wife to join me!)
MLG says: "7:00 PM - 8:30 PM Championship Finals". That is EST and therefore -5 so the finals will start at about 01:00 November 21.11.11 local time (for we are +1 here) is that correct?

We could take two people with us from Frankfurt to Darmstadt and maybe back. We might be late (up to 1 hour) and might not stay till the end (hate TvT or might get tired..). If you are interested anyway, PM me.
Damn, why did I see that only now? Well ok, I'm a little ill so I shouldn't come anyway ... :p But maybe next time! Hope you have a nice day! Drink a beer for me!
Sorry I can't come, still a bit too hungover from last night. :S Wish you fun there. If it turns out to be a success and it seems like, there will be hopefully a next Barcraft I can attend.
i can't make it, we redid the whole wiring on our circuit breaker box and just now finished doing so.. But judging from these pictures, it's not the last barcraft to happened there x)
ohyeah, it was really cool! I'll upload my pics when I'm back from work. That crowd was awesome =)
@Kulijo: Thank you for that event! Did the host said something to you? I think the event was really worth it for them! Hopefully he will do something like that again!
We absolutly need to do this again! This event was such an blast, it was the most fun i ever had watching SC2. And thanks to the owner of the Bar, it was in the end a bit longer than 1 am
Watching the streams behind the counter was pretty alright if you sat at the bar directly. I can't imagine it being watchable from far behind but there was a beamer to the left of the counter.
Where is the rest of the photos, i remember a guy walking around making photos of the crowd and also of me and my friend. I dont know his name, but he was a friend of drool Cant find that here
But yeah, the Event was awesome, i think they made good money for a sunday night :D
Sorry for the late update, I have much work for Uni at the moment...
More Pics are following and yes, Barcraft Darmstadt will go at least to another round. K60 was overwhelmed. The crowd was as big as crowds at champions league finals (150 or so) but football only goes 90 minutes - Barcraft held that level for 5 hours. Poor waiters...
The next time we will eliminate all the starting problems and have more/faster food supply.
Thank you all for being there and please send me a pm with negative feedback to help us improve.
I was there for an hour and it was pretty cool for the first time. I noticed some lag issue from the stream and it it was a bit irritating to watch also for people on the right side of the beamer it was hard to see the details on the screen if you are not right behind the bar. that are my only points to be improved for the next time. overall it was great.
I'm quite sure, we will be a bit less than last time and K60 is aware of our hunger now. It's no restaurant but they can cook 4 meals at once so everybody should get something eventually. Please be patient. Thank you.
Hey guys, we found a new location in Frankfurt, where BarCraft could take place.
Due to the fact that in Darmstadt there allready is an established BarCraft Location we had the idea to alternate with the events, if you don't have time or whatever to stream, we could do it.
Tell me what you think about the ideas.
But pls write, if possible, on our FB wall, because I can't read every post in every forum we announced that location
long time since there was postet something here. I wanted to ask if there will be some Barcraft in the near future or if there were to few people last time.
I have a sad announcement to make. My friends and I will stop doing Barcrafts. It's up to you now. If anyone needs advice for organizing one in DA just pm me.
