EDIT#2: Thanks a lot to everyone that attended this event, the great attitude and friendlyness from everyone made this Barcraft what we were hoping for, and we really feel that this turned out quite well!
Still we had some technical issues, despite thorough testing in advance, but thankfully our backup system worked ok ( well,decently), and these issues will surely be adressed until the next event, thats a promise! We will also be sure to have more seating, bartenders and cooks etc., due to the great amount of feedback from the public we have a good idea of the areas that needs improvements, so also a big thanks to all of you that provided us this feedback!!
Stay tuned to TL.net,Twitter,Facebook( Starcraft 2 Oslo ),Reddit etc. for updates and feedback regarding future events, and thanks a lot once again, to everyone that showed up and enjoyed MLG Providence with us at Barcraft Oslo !!
EDIT: At the moment we are 286 people "facebook-attending". Since the numbers are growing at a good pace, and we now are featured on the frontpage of gamer.no and just started hanging up some posters, we figured we might need some more space. And thus I am happy to announce that we will be able to have a 3rd. floor if it gets packed, that means 3 more canvases for games, another bar and a little backyard for smoking ( with a screen and speakers so one can watch games meanwhile)! So, everything looking good, and welcome to Barcraft Oslo !!!!!
Hi Teamliquid !!
We are now in the midst of organizing a Barcraft event for MLG - Providence in Oslo !!
This will be the first Barcraft in Oslo, but hopefully and probably, not the last. The organizers have a long sighted plan for these events, and so do the bar we plan on co-operating with.
The bar is excellent for the event, with 3 HD projectors showcasing the games, and a capasity for hosting up to 200 participants at once. In addition we got our own entrance and bar, and some food serving as well, so everything seems to be in perfect order for starting up a good tradition. Since this is the first event in a hopefully long line of them, we will only be showing the sunday games. But if a lot of people show up and everything turns out good, we will hopefully host the entire event for the entire future of MLG!
