This will be the main thread for the 'Melbourne LAN'.
Thank you guys for discussing and showing interest in our organization of the Melbourne LAN Comp.
I, along with a few of my mates 'ToRDarkNoob' and 'FadeRedemption' have been busily organising a Starcraft 2 LAN tournament in the city of Melbourne. It has been clear that the Melbourne Starcraft 2 LAN scene has been lacking which has come to our attention. It has been decided that we as a team will be hosting our own Starcraft 2 LAN competition in the beautiful city of Melbourne in order to not only bring together the Starcraft 2 community but to promote E-sports.
This Event has already had its first large contribution by Xmoon for her generous donation towards the prize pool
With more possibilities to come in the near future.

Reason: Added caster :)
Go CautioN! Go Melbourne!! Everyone should come along, whether you are there to support friends or team mates, spectating and of course if you are playing. It will be a great day, can't wait to see you all there.
Fuxor you all, I leave Melbourne once: ACL Melbourne. I leave Melbourne another time: Independently setup LAN with great attendance. Conclusion: NEVER LEAVE MELBOURNE AGAIN

It was a righteous day - a million thanks for organising this!
It's amazing how the Melbourne scene as grown and revitalised these past 18 months. There would have been triple the numbers participating today that we could have scrounged together last year. Can't wait for HotS to grow the scene even further!
I was given the stream link by one of the players. Outstanding games, great casting, and pretty good organization too. Your LAN was enjoyed by people all over the world
Never coming back, don't but me in bracket and then give me the one player I didn't want to play, TWICE. But in all seriousness was sick fun day as usual and lookin forward to the next 1! (pox you're goin down :P)
Great event ^^ thanks to all the organisers who took time to organise this event! Looking forward to future events Pox and Deth games so imba very well played!
