Saturday 20th October

GSL Season 4 Grand Finals
4.30PM until ~7.00PM

Dreamhack Bucharest
At the completion of GSL until late

The Metropolitan Hotel: 46 Grote Street, Adelaide CBD

Hello Adelaide Barcrafters!

+ [Introduction] +

What began as a casual drink for gamers in a quiet bistro in Seattle in the northern spring of 2011 has grown exponentially into a craze that has united communities of gamers throughout the world.

… And now the global phenomenon known Barcraft is in Adelaide!

Adelaide , get ready to kick back in style - cold beer in hand - and watch the GSL grand finals on the big projector screen complete with surround sound. The room spills out onto the beer garden for chilling out between games, and smokers are welcome here too. Being opposite the famous Central Markets, the Metro’s food is great and there are snacks, full meals and desserts available from midday until 8.30pm. Our generous hosts Damien and Brett are enthusiastic about Barcraft and are always keen to help.

So spread the word - Barcraft is here in Adelaide, and it’s here to stay!

+ [The Venue] +

Since the foundation of Barcraft Adelaide we have expanded from the back room to the bar where multiple TVs throughout the venue show the matches. A main projector will be setup in the main room (unfortunately it's quality is less than ideal)

+ [Under 18's] +

Under 18's will be allowed entry.
Legally you need to be accompanied by a guardian but he is happy for us to be the responsible adults to look after you. As a result you don't need to bring your parent's with you however any bullshit and you're out.

+ [Drinks] +

The Metro has a bar we will be able to utilise to purchase drinks. We sometimes are provided with various quantities of complimentary drink cards from the bar. Through competitions on the night we will hand them out.

+ [Smoking] +

We request you smoke outside the venue. With the amount of TVs around the venue I am sure you can see at least one TV from outside

+ [Parking and Transport] +

There are plenty of parking lots around the CBD but do note some of them close early in the night like 8pm and also will likely cost you a pretty penny. There are multiple bus stops just outside the Metropolitan and you can also catch the Tram to Victoria Square and walk ~500m)

If anybody is interested in sponsoring please contact Baldie on skype (bradley_baldwin). If we get some cash flow we can make the space look really nice or perhaps door prizes etc could be organised. Again we can cover costs ourselves but everybody loves sponsors!

[Mox]

So so keen! Should finally make an appearance at one I guess

[Baldie]

Given Daylight saving is active, South Australia is now 1.5hrs ahead of Korea. With a revised start time in Korea:

GSL Season 4 Finals will now commence at 4.30PM Saturday 20th October.

After GSL concludes we have got clearance to continue Barcraft with Dreamhack Bucharest and can do so until we desire to leave. In other words:

Barcraft Adelaide will run from 4.30PM for GSL until late for Dreamhack.

I will now be keeping the Barcraft SA twitter active (@BarcraftSA) with updates so check in there!

Theres a section in the first post:

Under 18's will be allowed entry.
Legally you need to be accompanied by a guardian but he is happy for us to be the responsible adults to look after you. As a result you don't need to bring your parent's with you however any bullshit and you're out.

[x5.Stormz]

Oh thanks for that. I just assumed since it was a bar that they wouldn't allow under 18's.Trust me there would be no b*******. Now to ask/convince my Dad to let me go. Considering it doesn't end late it should be fine but we'll see.

[Champi]

[prOxi.FighT]

It was a lot of fun, it was the first time my mate had watched starcraft too and some more friends are keen to come next time!

Thanks for putting all the effort into making this happen!

[TheSneak]

Excellent night all! Congratulations to Dave and Luke (I think?) the winners of TheSneak's tipping competition

Stay tuned for our next Barcraft on November 17 and 18!

PS> How good are the Barcraft Adelaide posters? Did you guys notice them around the pub??? Many thanks to Baldie and Patrick Galbraith for those! And the Metro for printing them for us

[TACeeSerps]

So many new faces last night and I'm sure the next one will be even bigger! Thanks again to Baldie and TheSneak for organising ot all.

[frequency]

I've still got 4 free beers for next one too huehueuhehue

[Baldie]

Thanks to everybody who came out to barcarft on Saturday! We hope you enjoyed yourselves! It was great to come around and introduce and learn a little bit about most of you!

Although some of the "regulars" were not there in my discussions with people there were a lot of people who had brought friends for the first time or two..

There were two gentleman watching who when I asked how they found out about Barcraft they said "We come to The Metro quite often and saw the Barcraft poster and thought; well we play a few 2v2s together casually why not check it out." They had no idea about who MVP or Life was but they said it was enjoyable and they look forward to more in the future! Awesome!

See you in a month for WCS Worlds November 17/18! More details on timings to come in the next fortnight!
