Midweek Inferno - Every Wednesday - Dublin - Xtreme Gaming Cafe

I thought it might be handy to have a place where we could compile all events that are running. The next inferno tournament and the FrontierX events (Tournaments or Casuals? A mix?) can be added as soon their dates are decided.

Ken B

What time do the wed meetings go on til, out of interest?

Xinkai

About 8, sometimes later Ken. Depends on who's playing in the champs league.

Ken B

Cheers xinxai, I get out of work about 7:30 so I should stroll down, football permittting, of course.

Doctor DooM

After a couple of days, only a mod will be able to edit this thread.


If there's something you want to go into the first post, PM me with what you want in it and I will do it.

Doyler01

Just saw this now, im pretty new to these forums, but il turn up to casuals in XGC anytime. Excited already

D4RK ONION

Wonderful, welcome to the community Doyler01. Who do you main?

DarkTalant

He's a beastly akuma player. He beat blag at the last inferno unless I'm mistaken.

D4RK ONION

Excellent, always good to see more high skill players joining the ranks

Thanks!

Like the others said I main Akuma. I wore a stupid blue beany hat at the last inferno at XGC.

Im not sure who Blag is, I beat the hounds sagat and imbrianblesseds Bison in the group stage..maybe Blag is one of them? I lost to Cobbelcog and Chunkis later tho.. Cobbel completely overwhelmed me and Chunkis switched to Ryu after I won Akuma mirror match and completely out foxed me. :mad:

Will XGC casuals be Xbox or PS3 or both?
If Wednesday casuals are on this week il be there!

Azza

Blag is imbrainblessed.

UPCOMING EVENTS - Larger One-Off Competitive Tournaments


Dragons Slayers Ranbat 3.7

I would like to point out that there is nothing "one off" about these. To clear it up; there are 6 ranbats per game over the academic year.

You are not alone in that. I'm thinking of starting a support group for cammy rape victims. I have a feeling it would have a lot of members....

Sorry guys, I try to make it a fair fight, but its just so hard to let you get a hit in.

Oh...oh wait...:(

How do Saturday casuals in XGC work?

Just come in and go to the back and go up the stairs, no need to bother with front desk

No deal on with them, a few guys rent out some consoles and at the end of the day when people are leaving, getting busses etc we just throw one of the lads some money (I always ask the person how much do they think I should give them, altho it's never been more than 4 or 5 quid)

Recently though I believe we have been having one particular person in charge of the pot so you just hand them yer money before you leave

Doyler01

ok cool, I have an account there if u need another xbox, I should be around on Saturday for games.

Another Irish event available. http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055884360

I haven't checked yet but I fear that this is on the same weekend as SvB.

EDIT : It's not.

Doctor DooM

€35 is a but sharp for me just for an SF4 tournament, I wonder what the prize is.


It'd prob be just as cheap to SVB

€100 for the winner according to their website, doesnt seem like a great return to me!

Perhaps we can talk them into a special SF4 only rate because that's just a little too much.

Sisko

A little, tis deffo way too much imo, like its in limerick as well ffs.


lol.

Orim

IIRC, We paid €20 for Lan Party with a €60 prize.

You have to remember that the €35 is for a full weekend LAN and the €100 prize is most likely set from it being seen as a side event. As with LAN party if we can get people going down just for the street fighter comp then we may be able to get a reduction in the price.

Azza

They have prize money listed here.
http://www.frontierxlimerick.com/22075fast.html

They have €100 allocated as prize money for SF IV.
Fifa 10 has a €250 allocated prize money.

€500 Cash prize for CS:S.
€300 Cash prize for L4D.
€300 Cash prize for Battlefield Bad Company 2.
€300 Cash prize for Team Fortress 2.

They are all team based games so the cash prizes will be quite low for each indvidual player.

Fifa 10 looks to have the biggest prize per player.

No mention of what the prize split will be in each game.

Sagat06

So chances are the winner cant even cover their costs!!

Now I dont want to sound greedy but the thoughts of winning a tournament and not even covering costs doesnt sit will with me.

Azza

The price is quite reasonable if your going for the full lan and not just a single tournament.

If there is enough interest in the community, then we could speak as one and try to get a reduction in the entry fee if we are just going down for the SF IV event.

We could also offer advice on a format for such a tournament.

Thats the point exactly...

Sisko

Indeed, obviously all complaints on price are in the context of us only being interested in the SF tourney.

Azza

Well what would be an entry fee and prize pool you would be willing to travel to such an event for?

Doctor DooM

Azza wrote: »

The entry fee is more the prob for me. More than 20 unless it's something special is a bit mad.

If it was there or under 100'd be a reasonable FIRST prize for me.

Sagat06

Yeah €20 would be reasonable for a big(ish) tournament.

Agree with Doom on the first prize also... we are not very demanding on resources at these events, hardware, network or space wise, so the prize and entry fee should reflect this.

Azza

Few othr things to note about this respawn lan.

Its actually €45 euro if you don't pre-pay online.

They are offering transport from Dublin (Trinity Collage) at 9PM on the Friday and return on Sunday for €12.

They are offering additional prizes such as computer cases, mice, keyboards, mouse mats as well as the cash prizes mentioned.

Rooms are available for €25 a night.

Orim

The prize money for the Respawn Lan has been increased to €300

I have also pm'd them to see if their is any possibility of getting a reduced rate for SF4 only.

Orim

Right-o the Respawn lads have been back on to me. Along with the prize increase, they have offered us a registration fee of €12. This is pre-pay only though so if you turn up on the day, even if it's just for SSF4 then you will be paying €45. All in all though a fantastic offer from the lads and I will definetely be putting my name.

Here's a link for the cart item :
http://www.respawnlan.com/sf4comp.htm

If anybody wants me to pre-pay for them let me know. I'll tell you when I plan to pay anyway.

Azza

Yeah thats good value for money, I would be interested in this now.

*Nudges Dictator* Yeah me too. Let me know when you're doing it.

D4RK ONION

A tourney? ON MY SIDE OF THE STYX? I'm there!

Sagat06

If D4RK ONION offers his personal protection from the boyo's then I'm there

D4RK ONION

Haha, funny you should say that, cause me and 2 friends got jumped by a gang of teens and threatened with knives last night. Although I'm pretty sure they didn't actually have any knives.

Orim

I'm going to do the pre-pay for Respawn tomorrow at some stage. PM if you want me to do one for you.

Jesus, stab city jokes aside. What happened, did they try and rob you or what?

Sagat06
