    Notice is short - will need to get permission from the Boss, but would love it.

    Would definitely be interested in other dates too!!!

    I'd like to but I'll be pretty broke for the foreseeable future. If you do another one a few months down the line I'll go if I can make it :D Sounds like fun!

    OK, bitter experience has taught me that the only way to organise an event like this is to just pick a time, date and location and run with it. If people can attend, they can attend, if not, they'll still know about it next time. So go find a venue and come back to here and to TL.net and Reddit and anywhere else and let the Barcraft begin!

    Ye but in terms of numbers for a 1st showing I believe we need to get 10+ ppl interested so that the bar will be happy enough to allow it to become a common occurrence and even allow later events to be watched under certain situations

    Wow, more people interested in this than having a LAN. I'm shocked....then again it is Ireland.

    tbh, it's much easier to go out for a evening of drinks than to an all nighter lan, plus you can invite your mates down to this, if they don't like, they can change venue no bother.

    A lan during would cost significantly more reason its affordable at night is because were using time when they wouldnt make money either way. Also having a lan in the day means that it would have to start early to make it viable with mini tourney going on. As you have seen tourney take at least have the night usually longer.

    I think more people would turn up with 20-30 euros to enter during the day than 10 for all night.

    Speak for yourself 30 euro is alot of money for 12 hours of starcraft if you were even luck enough to get it for that price.

    You probably spend an equal amount to that at one of these "Barcraft" nights

    Ye but as much as I love the game, I personal enjoy watching it as much and relaxing, chatting with fellow sc2 players like its an sport(e-sport) as well as having a few beers sounds just as appealing as a lan.

    For those of us who suck, watching sc2 can be more enjoyable than playing it.

    Dunno why a LAN and Barcraft are even being compared when they're in no way related. It's not an issue of we can only do one or the other, it's simply we want a Barcraft.

    Im only comparing it in a sense that I enjoy either of them with the same love and having a barcraft or a lan doesn't make a difference once it for sc2
