Negatory, car is not fixed,
Plus i'm invited to a mega session over the weekend, haven't been to one in a while, so i shan't attend this year. I'll be at the sc2 lan next month for deffo though.

Can't edit OP anymore lolz. Forums suck - - Enjoy the piss up wherever you are but I'm pretty sure we'll be boozing as well :P

How did it go? How many people were there? Who won sc2? Runner-ups? How big was the prize eventually? Pics\videos\vods\replays?

IRL_Sinister

Well it was by far the biggest Tournament but it was pretty badly organised.

First 2 rounds were BO1 and the entire Tournament was Single Elimination...

Funky won, he got 60€. He 2-0'd deadlock in the final who won €40. 3rd-place was between Chicks and Freewareplayer.


Yes, they put me and Funky on the same side of the bracket... we met in Round 2 and played a game that lasted about 30 mins? I'll upload the replay if I get time tomorrow!

wqere there spectators for the games? like were there lil sc2nerds standing around behind the players computers basking in master league play?

IRL_Sinister

Nothing special, we played a LOT before the Tournament and knew each others style pretty well so I went mass bio anticipating no/late Colossus.

Aye, our corner (Vanyd, myself, Chicks and Funky) got quite a lot of attention that weekend.

People kept watching me play super meat boy the game is hard enough without people staring down your back and laughing when you die (damn you chicks!)

Only won €30 im afraid.

I disagree about it being badly run although i would of changed some things. (at least bo3 in all rounds)

As to spectators there was a good interest in Sc2. Apparently there was a nice few people watching me
but i didn't notice(too immersed :P )

It was run ok, iit was orgainsed badly(brackets/rules/rounds etc)

Yeah, if you were in upper-half of the bracket :P (That's a joke!)

Funky

It was run well but yea the format could have been better in my opinion. We finished up the tournament pretty damn quick and single elim with bo1's is pretty unforgiving.

IRL_Sinister

And we had a Protoss!

cherryghost

Plenty of lads I was talking to after watching the competition were saying that they must get back into it/get it/get better, so it definitely had a positive impact on the other LANners
