This is the official thread for the LAN NaZGaming will be holding in Adelaide. There was another thread about this LAN, but that was just to get some number and we did not have any information about it at that time, but I will be posting all the information we currently have in this thread.
We will be holding a LAN on Saturday the 28th of April at Arena Internet Cafe.
Starting time will be at 11:00am but you can get there around 10:00am to warm up etc.
It will cost $15 for people wanting to participate in the tournament, but spectating will be free.
Red Bull will be coming around 3 o'clock to hand out free red bull. YEAH! Big thank you to them.

We are currently trying to get red bull and domino's pizza to help with providing food and drinks so hopefully that goes well
We will be getting prizes from our sponsor Sublime PC Gear, so big thanks to them. Go check them out here: http://www.sublimepcgear.com.au.

You should ask an admin to move this thread to the tournament section to raise awareness. Also hit up the SASL facebook page to spread the word if you haven't done so

Will definately head in but work until 12 so wont be there until at least after 1 so might cast after if there are enough people there and its possible etc
Pardon the almost selfish way I posted that haha, I'm just curious as I am likely to finish top 2/3 and I've got all the hardware for a lifetime now. Just curious if the prize will be money or not

If its hardware donate it to the Flamga Foundation
Also do you have a caster yet? If not I'd be happy to!
i think Flamga has volunteered to cast but not 100% sure yet. if you were keen to cast i'll just double check with him to see if he's decided to play or cast
Please remove Metal and TDA from the map pool. Add in better maps.
got rid of metal, i love TDA so NO! i also added metropolis LE and Bel'Shir beach hope this will suffice i just didnt't want to make the map pool too big, because i was watching an episode of SOTG and nony etc. were talking about how most major tournies have map pools that are just too big these days and i agree, so i was just trying to keep it kinda small. but if people have any more problems with particular maps, or want particular maps added, just let me know

TDA is a really bad map for zerg, and for protoss in PVP, and Adelaide is full of protoss. You should reconsider, and also don't add belshir, its not that good either.
yeah I've got to agree with everyone else here, get rid of TDA. its no good especially in a tournement where 80% of people are going to be protoss, no one wants to see pvp on that map
ok so for some reason it's not letting me quote peoples replied in here, but whatever. so do you all think it would be a better idea to get rid of it, or let people use their veto on it?
Just leave it in, 1 veto will do the trick just fine. Also they are forgetting that one of them actually has to pick TDA for them to play on it. As long as its not a first round map its a non issue. Also in the OP it says not sure whether to make bo1 or bo3. Please make all games a bo3, with a bo5 semis/finals. Games actually get done pretty quickly from memory and you dont want to see edge knocked out first round by a 4gate
EDIT: Yep definately keen to cast! Players who get knocked out/on break can come join in too.

ok, i agree with everything stated here. thank you i'll change that one up right now
Sir Bard getting his casting on watch out lads! Good to hear. I myself won't be able to get there until late afternoon and it will also allow flamga to play.
Any ideas on when you plan to finish? Just so I know if I have a chance to swing by in the afternoon?

Wont be playing as I dont finish work will 12 sorry guys
Any ideas on when you plan to finish? Just so I know if I have a chance to swing by in the afternoon?
really sorry but i dont have much of an idea of when it will finish :\ i was talking to the guys at arena, and they reckon it usually finishes around 8. It will depend on how many people show up and how long it takes us to start though. I think it should go till around 8 as all games are bo3 and semifinals and finals are bo5.
Just a question is it knock out one bracket or is there a lower losers bracket?
there may be a losers bracket, but we'll see on the day, and i have to get into contact with my other people to ask their opinion. sorry i couldn't really give an answer :P
There will be a loosers bracket and also, we are hoping to make enough money to pay for the venue and also put money into the prize pool. The more people come, the bigger the prize pool. We aren't pocketing anything, we are going to give as much as we can back to you guys!
We are looking into putting up money out of our pockets. This will be a decided on the day.
Thank you to everyone that competed and support the LAN. Apart from a small hiccup of only having half the venue, leading to a few delayed games it ran quite well.
There were many games played today that were beyond epic. The entire LAN was casted by nRvBard, which we thank so much for his hard work and excellent performance! Check out the VODS at: www.twitch.tv/bard123
Thank you to the arena guys for letting us host our LAN there! Also the Sublime PC Gear for the prizes that the winners received. A Razer Arctosa, ttesports mouse pad and $50!

As we thought this LAN ran well and had a decent amount of players we will defiantly be hosting another!
