Yep was my only win. Cheese Til ya win

zoom!

Top 8 isn't bad I guess :P Did better than I did last time. Really wanted that win against Vanyd though but he beat me fair and square, good games all round.

RoyalMarine

zoom! are you jack or pacwac? we really didnt know if you were even at the lan!

I know you mentioned that you wanted to bring 3-4 friends, so I assume your jhax?

Columc

ya hes jhax

Khazidhea

Greg, come on!

There were no master zergs. I think Funky could back me up saying that our games were close. Actually I just suck late game TvP and cant utilize my advantages

And I am pretty sure if it was me or NighT who won the tournament you would write the same thing replacing protoss with terran.

P.S. I wish all zergs were nice like these guys: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=224206

P.P.S. ggs and thanks to RM for organisation

P.P.P.S. oh freepower. that guy who went 10hatch vs blinn and got top4 only losing close games vs funky. scary and really good hey we didnt play the nobansheenomuta thing!

Deadlocked

All zergs i met at the lan were dead on. Alto freepower is a dickhead for beating me 2-1

Im glad funky won. Better than bunker rush every game from terrans.

Saying that bet you funky will cannon rush me nxt time

freepower

^ that first game was deeply uncomfortably close as well, I was arriving at your base only like 20 seconds before your infestors spawned...

It could easily have been 2-0 to you, you were pretty strong - and obviously dead on, that's just the zerg way. ^_^

10 hatch v blinn, nydus rush v funky... I seem to get less viable with time. :P

If me and him win our first round games in the boards tourney we'll be playing again, I'm gonna have to come up with some special anti-funky builds. As long as he doesn't think of a way to get banshees as toss it'll be as much fun as last time.

(oh, and I didn't build a roach in ZvP or ZvT the whole tourney, how different from my last LAN? XD )

IRL_Sinister

We need Blinn back :P

Columc

Were did he ever disseaper to?

Deliasz

Good place for me hehe

Anyway gg for Funky and Khaz. Finals were so much delayed...

Pretty sure at the end of the first LAN he said he was finding it increasingly hard to focus on SC2 with Uni. I think he also mentioned something about playing another game (maybe it was CSS?) ;/

Funky

Yea they were. When I watched most of the replays some of the times I thought I'd got an earlyish advantage I'd really only just evened out the game a bit.

funky CLEARLY riding his luck.

If they nerfed Toss cheese dude would be bronze in no time...

freepower

^ yeah, every one of our games I was like "Time to play a standard macro game! " and he just totally went for these really odd all-ins... >.>

deconduo

Did better than the last one which I'm pretty happy with considering I played 3 games in between (damn college/exams :P) Was great fun, thanks for organising it

godspal

when's the next one? would love to go.

Columc

Pretty sure Royal sais something about having one in july

RoyalMarine

Yes, indeed. July seems to be the next time for a lan.

However, this time ill be pulling all the stops and aces out of my sleeve's.

I think the main thing regarding organising is the tournamnet went very smoothly(except for me delaying it a good bit ) The actual thing that needs work on is the machines and internet connection of the LAN cafe, the machines need to be tested for patches and can they handle the game. Most of the machines can handle starcraft, but a few of them(the one on the far right were me and chicks were orginnaly sitting) were very bad, the frame rate were terrible.

Nice run Freepower

I made a note of the machines that cause a problem, and I'll make sure no one takes them next time.
The tournament went great.

I wonder if we could find a different venue? Where is galwayLAN held or is that a byopc?

Thanks, I got a lucky draw but I think I played better than last LAN. ^_^

(and I only lost a series to Funky the whole night, which was nice)



(not that I could have beat the other Masters, just sayin' :P )


Btw, any chance you could come to the next one? Last time you taught me an interesting lesson about ZvP on metal.

GalwayLAN is a BYOC,

Venue wise there are only two spots I can think of in Dublin, the current one Xtreme gaming center(xgc) and then there is also another one called 5 star internet(if i recall correctly) They are both owned by the same people, But I am unsure on the specs of the machines of 5star.

However if we were going to look at other places around Ireland, There are a few dedicated gaming cafes.

Area 52 down in cork is one internet cafe that does all nighters on a cheap price with good machines(Last i checked they were alienware, this was a year and a bit ago however)

Square eye in Galway is another internet cafe that is a dedicated gaming center, And from visiting a lot of palces around Ireland I have to say they are by far the nicest and good quality of machines, however are a bit expensive.

We could always go with the BYOC option, however locations and equipement are always a problem(location that provides good internet useage and rates and also location for people to travel with there machines/laptops)

For a 12 hour LAN I wouldnt think most people would be intrested in a BYOC event, more so if it was a weekend type deal.

Webworkhouse is I believe the best internet cafe in Cork City, in a convenient place to, just two minutes from the bus station...

cheers dude. ive contacted them now.

godspal

they are very explicit about the swearing. :eek: I swear like a sailor at the best of times.

PacWac

Cork? o.O

8 hours away from Belfast. : (

LawrenciuM

Uhhhh i would like to politely request that we don't have it in Cork because then my five friends and I can go again.....

RoyalMarine

there's a LOT to consider with venue, not just distance. If we can find somewhere that has better facilities such as better computers, faster and more reliable broadband then it might be worth considering.

But for now, all ive done is sent them an e-mail.

So as far as im concerned, the only place capable of us having a lan is the XGC in dublin.

There has already been two in Dublin, there is the odd SC2 player outside of the Pale you know.

Me and my friends are from Belfast, we are willing to travel. But what they mean is Cork is too far away for us. aka, we can not go if it is in Cork but we would like to go.

freepower

I think a Belfast LAN is seriously overdue, is the cybercafe situation still that dire?

Sadly, yes :mad: i dont know of one place in which you could have a LAN in Belfast, or anywhere nearby.

I wish it were possible. Alas, with the closure of both P.O.N.G. stores, it has become quite difficult to find a place. Sadtimes. : (

i think this summarises irish gaming center's very nicely.

I haven't been in there, but it looked small from the outside. Can we all fit?

I like Galway, have it there. Or Cork, cuz then I don't have to go far ^^

XGC is fine too as long as they get their **** together for next time, patch the game and clean the ****ing toilets, that's all I want! I know which PCs to avoid so it's all good.

Belfast too far

Yay moar LAN!

if they're the specs, then why the **** are we not organising to go there instead?

for the belfast lads, i know you said cork was too far, but how about galway?

its roughly a 4 hour drive.

godspal

Go-go-galway. Only an hour on the bus for me, also only an hour away on the train too.
Damn Ennis for being just far enough away from everywhere, so that everywhere is inconvenient.

6hours on the train to Galway apparently, probably not. But i will see when everyone else gets online.

NighTxX

Oh yeah, will it be all night again? as if its during the day travel arrangements are a lot easier.

But i take it, it is all night?
