Dota 2 Ireland Season 3: Dota 2 IreLAN

cherryghost

Today we are very pleased to officially announce ireLAN, Ireland's first DOTA 2-focused LAN event in Dublin! During the 25th-26th October, we will converge to the Aspect Hotel Park West where we plan to have 2 solid days of banter and action of all things DOTA.
The event will be a Bring-Your-Own-Computer (BYOC) event costing €25.00 for both days at the door or €22.00 by pre-reg with €15 per day. The event will go for 48 hours straight but room bookings can be made here.

We have our very own DOTA personality Shane ‘Shaneomad’ Clarke of GD Studio fame helping us organise this event closely and we’ll also have the legendary Ted ‘Pyrion Flax’ Forsyth to help commentate the tournament of a prize pool of at least 150 euro!
We hope it’ll be the first of many events in the future not just for DOTA 2, but also for video gaming of all kinds. These events can only be driven with the support and passion of all the gamers either attending or helping to buy the in-game ticket that will be in the DOTA store soon and spectate the games there.

Great work, I'm going, who else?
Gonna book a room soon and split it with somebody.
Then book a team haha.


How is that pricing working?
event costing €25.00 for both days at the door or €22.00 by pre-reg with €15 per day
Is that 25+25 and 22 + 15 or?

cherryghost

25 at the door for both days.

22 prereg for both days (3 euro discount basically)

Can't do both days? 15 euro a day.


It's also in the same hotel where kinetic^ organized lanparty

Tar.Aldarion

I'll take two single days for 30
Oh cool, that was a grand aul spot! Nice!
I am not sleeping on the floor again though haha.

cherryghost

39 euro twin room, can't go wrong!

Tar.Aldarion

That's pretty sweet actually! who wants to share?

Justice

so pre booking both days and booking a shared room is an even 100 euro.

€100 for 48 hours minus minimal sleep requirements of pure dota.

im definately interested.

Tar.Aldarion

its 22 + 39 so 61 and half that 39 is shared so pretty cheap. 40-45e.

cherryghost

Yeah, its 22 prebook for the entire weekend.

Twin rooms are up at 39 euro a room, which is 19.50 pps.

Whole weekend in its entirety is quite cheap

cherryghost

I would advise anyone going and wanting to stay in a room overnight book as soon as they can. Booking.com allocation is sold out but still available on other sites (expedia etc)

Justice

unfortunately the 25th clashes with the wifes birthday, so saturday is out for me, but i'll still go sunday.

cherryghost

Do, sure just pop down even to say hi

neoanto

Lads, just heard about this on another forum.
I see the tickets are all sold out.
Is it possible to pop down and just spectate?

cherryghost

Hey,

Unfortunately not. Demand was beyond expectation in this case, we added more tickets and they quickly sold out once more. We will be streaming via Twitch though.

Justice

ahh crap, i never bought a ticket

i'll tell the missus i decided that i'd rather spend time with her, make the best of a bad lot.

Ok cool, pity though!

kevovek

Was this streamed or recorded in the end?

cherryghost

Hey,

Yes, it was! There's about 8 hours worth of games on twitch.tv/shaneomad

And for the finals we had Pyrion and Yogscast's Lewis to co-cast

EDIT: BAM:

It's All Ogre Now became the victors and walked away with €1,000 and a pair of SteelSeries Siberia V2 headsets each with TFK grabbing €230 and a SteelSeries Venge Mousepad each for being 2nd!
This weekend has been insane. We never expected the reception we received either at the LAN or on Shane and PFlax's streams. Around 80 people came and supported us and a few even helped out in our time of need.

Can't stress enough, awesome work man

BMMachine

was it essentially a Reason Gaming mix team that won?

cherryghost

In a nutshell yeah (kind of, not really). They went undefeated but they almost lost 2 games in the group stages (one was streamed on shanes twitch so it's probably in the past broadcasts).

BMMachine

would have liked to see an Irish team win

Yeah was gas, ended up at the Workman's. Pretty funny night, the English lads were sound. Ended up wandering off without saying bye to anyone to get pizza. :pac:

Justice

kudos to cherry + organisers.

thats impresive if we are actually attracting teams over here.

thats a big prize fund for an irish lan.

The UK LANs get overrun by EU teams, hence gravitation to easier pastures.
