I'm Lance with GWU Competitive Gaming (GWU CSL mother org). Zlasher mentioned this a bit earlier, but we do still need some help with transportation, please! We can metro to your preference (which will probably be Vienna or Dunn Loring), and then if someone or some people could help provide rides for 6-7 people (FIVE guaranteed, though most likely we will require SIX) to the LAN, it would be really appreciated! Even if you can only give a couple or just one a ride, please give me a shoutout/pm!
Thanks, Lance
I can pick up three? if someone has a minivan i guess all can fit in that.
I have to cap the event at around 40 players due to space limitations in the lan center (I can't have access to all 50 pc's at once) didn't think it would be an issue but if the 5-6 gwu guys come we'll be close to 40. (gwu guys/lance please post so I add you to the signup list)
also I'm going to have to enforce a pretty strict "you only get a pc if your playing in the tournament" rule during the early stages of the tournament when no one has been eliminated yet. Last lan lots of people came and got on pc's for a long time which isn't an issue when there's 24 players, 40 or more we will fill up the place pretty hard and I always have to be mindful at keeping pcs open for the regular customers. because of this please be mindful that if your bringing a friend or not coming to play in the tournament you may not get a pc, or you may be asked to get off if a player needs a pc.
also map pool change, I don't think anyone will have any issues but MLG announced the fall season map pool about an hour ago and they STILL include Tal Darim alter because for some reason they/blizzard think removing the rocks at the 3rd fixes everything. PvP is still a super joke on that map so I'm going to remove it and go with the rest of the MLG map pool for fall:

3 would be great, I will contact you again soon by pm when I can so that we can arrange everything.
@Luckyfool Yes, I will have the guys coming in our group post. (aNdoRi did already, so I'll have everyone else post if they wish to join the tournament.) Besides myself, there should be 3 other GWU guys coming. The other two are visiting friends of which only one person will probably playing. I'll have more information by tomorrow.

I wish I had the skill/time to play.
Maybe next time.
Any skill is welcome :D. I went when I was just a mere gold. Now I'm a masters level because of it! You can ask luckyfool . Time is understandable though! Come when you can :D.
Alright, I have your last two GWU signups for the tournament. HSBC.394 Nick.1544
Anyone else coming with our group will not be participating in the tournament.
We do still need rides for only 2 people! Please contact me ASAP!!!
Also, we have a player who would like to get back to school if possible post-LAN (not going to BBQ) If you can drive him to a metro stop, please let me know!

MLG Antiga Shipyard

MLG Daybreak
MLG Entombed Valley
MLG Metropolis
MLG Ohana
if anyone has any objections to this let me know.
Are finals bo7? If so, that's the only thing i'd keep in mind. If it goes down to game 7 you'd have to replay a map, which some people don't like. I'm super apathetic about it myself but that's the only downside I see towards making it a 6 map pool.
a bo7 with a 6 map pool begins and ends on the same map which is a pretty standard thing.
rsvp's for dinner are closed, burns hopefully is making the reservations tomorrow. if you msg'd me or were expecting to rsvp for dinner and don't see youself on this list msg me asap.
