@Benji, don't get me wrong, I'll support the event and I'll go to another 'barcraft'... perhaps just not held at Manabar. The venue is just too small, it is essentially the size of my living room. Here in Brisbane they have a Netcafe (where BEST and WCG will be held) just down the road. To me, the event would have been better held there and then afterwards people went out to get drinks. IIRC, Elysium even lets you 'put your drinks in their fridge'. Also, drinks are like 7 dollars for a basic at Manabar and for any of their cocktails it is 15 dollars. We're gamers... not suckers <<

Also, Dox had to run WCG? I had no idea. WCG quals are next weekend for brisbane aren't they? Maybe I should show up just in case they need help with organising the event.

Yeah WCG is this sunday! Dox will be coming up for it, but you should come along anyway!

People have no idea about business.

@PoisoN I don't know if that was directed at me and my 'ignorance' or if you were kind-of agreeing with me. All I'm saying is that the event, whilst gaming related.. was not suited to the venue.

@saint, I'll definitely be coming along as a spectator. I'm not an Australian citizen so I won't be able to compete even for fun.. but I'll be lingering and asking for Protoss advice :P.

If I had to give feedback about the event, I'd suggest partnership with Elysium or moving it to a bigger venue. If neither can be arranged, at least get more seats.. sitting on the ground isn't fun :/
