What's going on?!
Finally, after a long wait due to MLG and issues with previous locations, we have decided that it is time to host another Luckyfool/Torenhire LAN in the Northern Virginia area. Only one thing, Rob isn't hosting!
It's really lame for Rob to be playing and also helping try to run the tournament, so he and I decided that since I run the tournament itself anyways, I can (hopefully) take over the organization portion as well. I'll probably still call on him for help at times...but don't tell him that!
Everyone who has been to a LAN hosted by the two of us can attest to our epic and amazing LANs! There's no reason not to show up - come and play SC2, come and play BW for lols (there will be BW!), come and hang out and chat! We're all friends here in the DC area via our TL threads, this is a perfect time to actually hang out in person! Everybody here is very friendly, don't be afraid to chat with anyone!
If you were around for DC Lan #6 at Cybergrounds, you'll know that Rob and I were chatting about doing a dual tournament - one for Diamond and below, one for all leagues. I think we are going to start the new year off with a new format!
Where:
Netolic
7409 Little River Turnpike #C
Annandale VA 22003
When:
The date hasn't been 100% confirmed. This LAN will either happen January 21st or January 28th. Both are Saturdays! Sign in starts at 11:00am. Tournament needs to be running by noon. Please be on time for signups, please give yourself plenty of time to warm up and get a practice game (or three!) in. The sign in time is for both open and diamond tournaments.
Prizes??
The prize pool for the main tourmanent is dependant on how many people show up, unless we get a sponsor or get some donations. I can give a ballpark once we get some interest! (PS this is good incentive to bring friends and spread the word!!)
For the Diamond and below tournament, we will likely have a small cash prize and maybe a few pieces of gear to hand out!
Format:
The main tournament will be our usual format: Everyone starts out in a group - games are BO1 and top two players* advance into a single elimination bracket consisting of BO3 - semifinals and finals will be BO5.
The Diamond Tournament will be a double elimination bracket**, BO3 all the way through, winner's bracket finals and the grand finals (winners bracket winner vs losers bracket winner) will be a BO5. All losers bracket games will be BO3. No extended series rule.
* Number of matches played and number of people who advance will depend on number of players.
** Diamond and below tournament format subject to change, pending number of signups.
Map Pool: MLG Providence map pool
MLG Antiga Shipyard
MLG Dual Sight
MLG Metalopolis
MLG Shakuras Plateau
MLG Shattered Temple
MLG Tal'darim Altar
MLG Xel'naga Caverns
Rules:
Will be posted once we have an idea of number of players! General rules will be the same as previous LANs, in terms of disconnects, map choosing, etc. Refer to prior threads by searching "DC LAN" in TL Search Box.
