In the last 6 months or so, you may have noticed that I have been streaming regularly and can do so on higher than average Australian quality on Twitch. That's because I've moved to a house with beautiful NBN!
I've been thinking about the Australian community recently and how I miss the good ol' days when we had such a vibrant and strong Sydney scene. There were so many amazing players, so many names that still command respect today. I would love to try and help build some hype for the Sydney scene a little bit by hosting a small tournament at my house. It would be really low-key and easy going at first, but if everything goes well, who knows? This could be our version of HomeStory Cup! If it goes well maybe we can get some old names like YoonYJ, Rossi, Light Mafia and Tgun (game-traitor :P) to show up!
The plan would be to just use some spaces in my house to have one area for players and one for commentary/observing/watching. My living room is pretty big so its not hard to fit in some players to watch and commentate the games and enjoy a few beers while doing so. Oh and there's a small backyard and patio with a bbq we can use. I'm not sure if other players would need to bring their computers to set up here or not, but that's something we can maybe work out later.
The goal wouldn't be for this to be exclusively for top players, we'd like to find a way to open it up to players of all skill ranges - though ofc space and number of PCs might be an issue if we have too many people showing up.
At this moment, I'm just raising the idea and seeing if there's interest from local Sydney players to go ahead. Hopefully this idea sounds exciting to a few others and we can start organising it.
