Still waiting for confirmation on whether or not my gf can get time off work to fly down with me. I feel really bad for travelling around Australia without her.

I think I'll come either way but I haven't booked my flights yet.

soon™

HOTBIGTIT · Fri, 23rd-Dec-2016, 8:03 PM

Double-post!!

She's such a dog, can't get time off work.

I'm coming alone lads!

**syfChadMann** · Tue, 27th-Dec-2016, 10:06 PM

Good to see some in doubt people confirming! Getting very excited now.

10 days until the event. I will be putting up a few last moment notes a couple of days before for all participants.

If there are any questions from anyone feel free to ask.

We have got a whole bunch of giveaway items to go along with the winner's trophy!

We will be handing these items out during the day. How to win? Participate in some ingame and out of game mini games.

Reminder that the tournament is this Saturday! Only 3 more sleeps.

ROOTProbe · Sat, 14th-Jan-2017, 6:24 AM

Today's the day. The tournament begins in just under 3 hours. Try and be there earlier to set up and get ready to play. The tournament's main playing area is downstairs so we will fill those computers up first.

Looks to be a good day, be sure to watch the stream if you aren't attending.

Pretty excited

Thanks for hosting Probe & Zen Gaming Lounge!

It was really, really good to catch up with people again (some I haven't seen in 2 years), and to visit Melbourne again. Seriously looking forward to the third one.
