LAN Sept 3-4-5

[Passport]

http://wcg2010.lanets.ca/index.php

The first weekend of September marks one of Canada's largest LAN events. The École de technologie supérieure will be hosting several tournaments (http://wcg2010.lanets.ca/tournaments.php) at their downtown Montreal campus and is offering cash to the top three teams.

TF2 will of course be featured, and while this may be a far trek for the Toronto crowd, I'm looking to see who would be interested in forming a team. The location is quite nice and there are tons of amenities around the event.

I already have a few replies, but please post in this thread if you'd like to give it a shot!

The entry fee is $45 and you can get all the details on their website (http://wcg2010.lanets.ca/general_info.php). Cash prizes will double if more than 8 teams sign up, so even a third place means you got to play for free!

[Lopert]

I will be there :D

[DeathSniper]

Oh noes!

[Mike-KT]

I'd be interested if I had a ride down and a place to stay

I wish I had a laptop for this kind of stuff, lopert how are you doing this?

[Lopert]

You can actually stay at the LAN, they rent out the university's gym so all you have to bring is a sleeping bag and preferable a mattress because gym floors are hard.

I think I'm getting a ride with some random who's going to the LAN (aka carpool with rando's), want me to see if there is still a spot available?

[Mike-KT]

Alright, I'm going to this.

It's actually a pretty good deal. Downtown Montreal for 3 days for $45 is pretty cool. I know I won't play the whole time, but there's so much to do in that city that it'll be a lot of fun.

I highly recommend other people going, especially if you want to join me in exploring montreal

Word on the street is that passport is bringing a hot plate, so we'll be able to make some awesome espresso

Also, row P so we are near the proest pros?

[Lopert]

I confirmed your spot in the car today KT :D

Also yes :P my team will be in row O if you guys want to be near us. Row P is clear and seems like a good spot. We're on the right side.

[monty slick]

Somebody get some video of someone on row O's screen and keyboard/mouse while playing pls. I've always wondered what they look like at that level.

[Lopert]

PS here are some vids I took from last LAN :D http://www.youtube.com/user/Lop3rt#p/u/12/r-rtKOY_vfQ

Also these are some pictures someone else took that I uploaded

YOU TOO COULD GET AN AUTOGRAPH FROM THE LEGENDARY DESTRO!

[Suko]

Even though I live 500 feet away I'm probably going to be too busy to actively participate. If I have time I might pop in to say hi and watch a match but that's about it. Just not a good time right now.

[Mike-KT]

Well I'm going to want to hang out in montreal, so will you be up for a bit of that suko?

[Suko]

Maybe, I don't know my schedule exactly but if something goes down post it here.

[AngeR]

Too bad I may miss this, I'm probably going to the US that weekend for a wedding. Sorry guys.

[Mike-KT]

The Bus is $70 round trip from toronto (including tax) and the Lan ticket is $48, meaning that you can get from toronto to montreal, and spend a weekend downtown and at a LAN, for $118.

A good deal, think about it.

Also if we win, we all get money!

Can you sleep at the LAN?

[Mike-KT]

yup, they apparently have separate dormatories available, but it's nothing special. I'm bringing an airmatress because I think it's just a floor or a gym mat

[Lopert]

Derfel hooked me up with some uploadin' cheers to him.

Here's the link to all my demos from the weekend, zipped.

http://replays.finockio.com/lopert_ETS.zip

[Suko]

Warning, watching someone else's demo overwrites your config, which I learned during the first few minutes of a UGC match. When monty said this I was sure it was a troll. Seriously valve, lazy programming there. Good thing my stuff is fairly standard.

[Lopert]

yes, make sure your configs are set to read-only, I thought everyone knew that by now :(

[Suko]

Yeah, I blame the availability of videos online. I never had to run a demo that wasn't my own until now.

[Derfel]

I might be taking these down at the end of the week, so if you want them, grab them soon.

[Xzinum]

I can host them to a more permanent area.

[Derfel]

I can host them to a more permanent area.

Well - I probably don't need to do anything with them quite yet if you want them to stay. It looks like 3 people grabbed them so far.

[Xzinum]

Oh, i assumed it was raping your bandwidth

[Derfel]

Oh, i assumed it was raping your bandwidth

Naw - I was just going to reclaim the subdomain, but I have like 70 left, so no biggie in the short term. I'll leave it up until October at least.

(It looks like this file has accounted for 800MB of bandwidth... of my 1200GB of transfer a month...)

[Mike-KT]

[SpiderTroll]

I've got a bunch of vacation days to use before May, I planned on taking a few in March anyways. I can just tac on an extra weekend for this.

[iheartyou]
