I'll go, but I'm curious as to what kind of setting it will have.
Will the event be entirely focused on the GSL? or still more of a bar setting? |

Southern Cross Train Station is like a block or two away. There's also a nearby tram stop for trams 11, 42, 48, 109, 112.
Just check Google Maps or use Metlink for the train/tram timetables.Last edit: 2012-02-20 18:30:23 |

I'm going to be videoing myself and my +1 because she knows nothing about SC2 - she was just really intrigued to hear I'd be going to the event and wanted to see what it was like, it's going to be so damn funny.
I showed her some units yesterday and she called the colossus a "laser poker", pure gold. So if you see me waving my phone around taking video say hi, it'll be going up on my channel once I edit and render it after the event. |

Turned into a sweat lodge with so many nerd ballers. Good times.

Nah man, standing up near the front behind some dudes who were inhumanly tall (over watching the screen on the right in Jumpy's pic above). By the end my back was rooted from standing up the whole time, but it was worth it. Last edit: 2012-03-03 22:07:47 |

BarCraft Melbourne was EPIC!
About 350 people turned up to support eSports and StarCraft 2.
Thank you to all of you who turned up despite the bad weather - you made it one hell of a BarCraft! Thank you!
Stay tuned for more announcements on siliconsports.net & facebook.com/siliconsports sc2sea.com and here on TL for upcoming BarCrafts in Melbourne!
♥ you all!Last edit: 2012-03-03 22:13:31 |

Your links don't work. Thanks rezyn for organising it! The venue needs to shape up though, there was only a 90 degree view T_T
Man the nerd orgy reaked after a while, but it was awesome to show how much business these places will get if they just rename their menu to Warcraft |

| I'm really glad that it went so well. For one thing, I imagine this means it will make it more likely for this to be a regular thing. |

It's awesome that so many people showed up and Barcraft was sick, but that in mind things need to be adjusted for next time.
SHIT WAS PACKED, if the three other TVs that were just playing music videos were also showing the starcrafts we could have spread out and it would have been the perfect event and venue. I understand it is extremely difficult to judge how many people will attend an event such as this when one has never been run before (becuase no one counts that abortion of a barcraft at manabar) and thats why no one is pissed that it was so crowded. But for future events you either need all of that venue instead of half OR a new venue, if barcraft is always such a ridiculous nerd sauna then people won't keep coming to them.
Other minor things include get better internet but this is Australia so good luck with that one, and make sure you have a microphone if you want to make announcements. I couldn't hear a single word the Tt esports guy said and I wasn't even in the back.
In general the event was sick and I had an awesome time, thanks for organising it! Just remember people will expect more from the next one, more space, more bar staff, more TVs and more chairs.
WOOT BARCRAFT MELBOURNE!!! thanks rezyn8! |

Sorry for double post but one more thing, could you get them to turn of the flashing coloured lights that were lighting up all the wall where the projector was displaying? I understand it's normally either a dance floor or a DJ stage but we don't need flashing lights spoiling the picture.
Hope you smash the next barcraft out of the park as well!!! |

Hello esports type people.
I brought a DLSR to the event, but I was not prepared I brought the wrong lens and no tripod/monopod and had never been to The Exchange. Enough of my excuses though. I chose 48 decent pics and hopefully you get an idea of how packed it was. Next time I will be a lot more prepared and will get a lot better pictures I promise. <3
Here is the link, http://www.flickr.com/photos/smashngrab/sets/72157629507197907/
If it doesn't work please tell me as it is the first time I have used Flickr.
Thanks,
Smash. |

Perhaps if they used something like RMIT University's wi-fi there would be less lag. Big education institutions generally have fibre optic which is hundreads of times faster than cable/DSL. With that said, GomTV has pretty crappy bandwidth, and the site was absolutely hammered, so maybe the bottleneck was on GomTV's side, rather than the venues internet connection. |

RMIT's wireless is average. The wired connection is fibre optic. |
