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.

If you think you talk to one or two of the about barcraft that would be great.
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.

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!

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 I just started COSC at Okanagan College, you can see me reading TL or playing a game or 2 near the pingpong tables in the student services building between classes :D

I've been to quite a few since I've moved here.
Also, if you need help with logistics, let me know.
I just got a beefy laptop if we need an extra one to stream from.

I wasn't sure if I had classes today, so I couldn't commit to anything last night (I also didn't read the post).
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
