Hey all,

I've updated this OP to include all necessary information in this thread.

The fantastic guys have supplied the sc2sea.com people a block of tables that has capacity for ~30 computers! Just mention you are from sc2sea! However, this doesn't mean you should not book a ticket and pay for it online (50 bucks), as things seem to be filling up incredibly quickly. Ontop of having our own playing space, we have been allocated a small stage area for us to be awesome on!

So even if all of the people listed below, bring a PC, and need a spot, I think we r going to be okay! Huge thanks again to the organisers for being so flexible! Especially so close to the event itself!

For extra information, or to register for the SGL, head over to their website: www.sgl.org.au

sc2sea guys going/thinking of going to SGL:
1. Loach (offering casting backup)
2. JoFritzMD (probably)
3. DjVillain (maybe)
4. TAriiChard
5. dippa
6. ToREchoes
7. PeleusSPR
8. mOOnglade
9. Iaguz
10. PiG
11. TARossi
12. Arnor (helping admin / spectating)
13. Benji (helping admin / casters)
14. Cheekyduck (casting)
15. LiviBee (casting)
16. Mafia
17. pokerface
18. Myuu (maybe)
19. brijan (barcraft duties)
20. TAavanar (maybe)
21. rizE
22. deL (spectating)
23. ninja (maybe)
24. SQLTt.HuT

If you know of anybody else going that is from sc2sea, post or PM me and I will add them to the list (this isnt necessary of course, people might just like to see who is going to judge whether they themselves are going)

I was wanting to find out how this would work. I was going to see if I could contact them this afternoon when I get home from work and see if I can find out a little bit of info about how groups work and how the seating all works.

Loach · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 8:52 AM

Post whatever info you find and we can get this rolling (=

**ToR.Arnor** · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 9:01 AM

Rather than make a new thread about it ask your questions here: http://www.sc2sea.com/showthread.php?t=3338

I can ask the guy who owns SGL, but tbh I dont think its required, no1 is going to bag out other games because theyll be too busy playing games they like, a LAN is all about meeting and mingling with different people, rather than going into this thinking other communities are bad, how about going with a positive attitude, while there are alot of keyboard warriors out there, most people are pretty nice in real life

Loach · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 9:12 AM

unfortunately, there are always going to be those keyboard warriors.. and I just think I'd enjoy it more around ppl I can talk sc2 with.. rather than sitting by myself surround by ppl playing diff games... it's no different than being at home then rly.. like u said mingling with different people - it'd be more fun being with a group then going solo.. but noted.

shall we take this to the other thread?? i.e.: copy over the OP?

ToRDjvillian · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 9:19 AM

Didn't realise you were also from Canberra loach. I'm hoping to go up for this also but can't confirm just yet (money and kids) but I would prefer to be sitting near the familiar people that are on sc2sea over people that play different games.

Quick Comments

Loach:

Im still a maybe, but sweet!

**Mayo** · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 9:31 AM

Usually LANs are much nicer then Australia wide big gaming events.
People are more chilled and go to have fun/play random games they suck at/leech free programs and royalty free music.

Alright, well.. let's see what fritz says about booking an area, whether its possible or not. and just go from there

JoFritzMD · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 10:31 AM

I know the the ozfortress guys (competitive TF2 community) have an area dedicated to them, so I'm fairly sure that booking an area is possible. I'm just not sure on the specifics.

I know that lans are a good place to socialise and meet new people but, as Djvillian said, it is nice to know that you're going to have people near you that you know or at least have something in common with (apart from vidya gaymes lol), especially if you're coming all the way from canberra. I know i'm going to be hanging out with my friends who play TF2 while i'm there no matter where i'm seated.

**nirvAnA** · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 10:35 AM

I would suggest adding a list to the op of the pple going for e.g

sc2sea guys going to SGL:
1. Loach
2. JoFritzMD
3. Djvillian
4. etc

and from there you guys can start planning where to meet up, what to do, etc

also makes it easier cause you know whos going and who to look out for / talk to while you're there!

Quick Comments

	JoFritzMD:	best idea
	Loach:	Ill add this to the OP

Quite a few players will be there that everyone knows (Glade, iaguz, Rossi, PiG are 4 off the top of my head), I imagine people will usually congregate around them.

Loach · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 10:45 AM

I would imagine so as well Benji, however, imagine coming late.. and being around nothing but BF3 players on the far side of the hall. I wouldn't enjoy it as much..

The pro's also may want to all be near each other/other sc2 players, so that they can concentrate better perhaps

1. Don't come late
2. When you aren't playing, just chill with the cool people

TAriiChard · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 10:50 AM

Other than the guys Benji mentioned, Dippa and I will be there. We've registered and payed our 50 bucks.

Peleus · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 4:22 PM

Guys - If you want to sit together you can email the admins with a list of 5+ names and they can seat you together. Unfortunately I think we've left it way to late and chances are we won't be able to contact everyone in time to organise a mass booking. Floorplan is below for reverence. If anyone wants to organise a group I might be a part of it but just letting you guys know the process.

This is the floor plan FYI.

If you'd like to sit together then please confirm here. I'm not making any promises as my mate was talking to the admins, but at least we know what people want and we can go from there.

Should we be booking our ticket beforehand for this?

TAriiChard · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 4:44 PM

I propose that we have a relay race!! (just like the MLG ones)

We can form teams of 4 with no limit to how many teams there are and put bets on. Maybe a captain for each relay team and they take turns picking players to be in their team! etcetc

Loach · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 5:03 PM

LOL @ riichard, I think there are slightly bigger issues at hand.

Thanks for the seating chart.

so from what I can tell.. ppl are asshole and picked to try be away from other teams, rather than taking the other side of 10.. so the max we can get together is 10.. i think just book a seat and post it here, i'll put it in the OP so ppl know where some ppl will be.. I dont really know what most of you look like, other than the pros/casters.. ur all a bit anonymous IRL - so I think this will ease us first timers into the process.. I suggest we book in the most open place right now.. which is block R - only 3/20 spaces are taken in there.. and then we can take over L, M, etc as needed. GOGO BOOK NOW! it's 50 bucks on the site! mention sc2sea.com in ur booking (i havent booked yet, but this shld be possible) so that they can update the seating chart...

SORRY FOR BLOCK OF TEXT - MY ENTER BUTTON IS BROKEN

Casua1ty · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 5:10 PM

@JoFritzMD I would definitely recommend it since we are around 80% prepaid already... and I am quite confident we will be full before the day itself!

JoFritzMD · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 5:10 PM

I'm pretty sure you don't have to choose a seat until you get there. I vote for the first sc2sea person to get there to grab a big section of tables and make it ours.

Oh wow, nice. I just bought mine, got to get my friends onto it now then! Thanks for the heads up.
If we don't have a "Team" booked in, Is there still a way to ensure that latecomers could sit with a group and not be over the other side of the room?

Loach · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 7:08 PM

I'm curious about Fritz's question too.

Peleus, I'll take one of those, but do I like have to pay now? or can I pay at the door? Like can I just do the first option

Peleus · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 7:09 PM

If you want to book now in a team I believe you need to pay no. Saying you'll attend means that you'll run the risk of not getting a seat if they sell out before hand. There is no way to reserve without paying first.

Peleus · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 7:41 PM

Sorry just trying to follow that diagram, can we see the stage or are we on the side? lol. Thanks for making the effort for us though.

Can you advise the best way to pass on our details to you to confirm booking in this sc2sea area?

Sorry, dident have the .png or fireworks handy to make a proper change :P

I will see about trying to get you guys actually seated in front of the stage, but if I cant, then there will be some seats in front of the stage, a TV, and a projector at least. Also thanks to Karma, got two decent comps for the stage (not bad for 3 hours notice :P).

Best way to grab a seat there will be to either email chailes@sgl.org.au or rock up on the day and say your from SC2SEA

rizE · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 7:45 PM

ill be there 100%

Jaywalk · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 7:52 PM

do we have to do anything special to get in the sc2sea area?

Just say "My life for Aiur" at the front desk.

Peleus · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 8:01 PM

Thanks for your responses, just so you don't think I was complaining I just wasn't sure what the arrows meant, and I was trying to find if we were on the side or in the front or both

Thanks for your help and making such an effort for sc2sea.

Loach · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 8:33 PM

AWESOME!!! (= so this is pretty sorted then!

Just 1 more question before I change the OP to include all this info.. can we just book a ticket, and then pay on the day?

Technically you can, and in the past we had 70% prepay, 30% pay on day, but I really wouldent recommend it. We just opened up about 30 or so seats, but I am betting its either going to be sold out by the event for PrePays, or sold in 5 minutes when the doors open

NvRossi · Tue, 24th-Jan-2012, 8:36 PM

I'll be there... but probably managing barcraft for most of it :/

JoFritzMD · Wed, 25th-Jan-2012, 6:42 AM

The 'upgraded' table is just extra space isn't it?
