That is correct.

[pesichew]

wow so expensive..

[Cordance]

The reason the cost is expensive is because there is a cover charge to get into the event which is anima focused. Now Im going to have to look into actually going just to support the esports SA.

OH wow..... I had no idea there was going to be an sc2 competition at AVCON... Nice...

Sydney was $40 just for SC2. For the same price, you get a fair bit of activities/exhibits to check out at AVCON.

Note there are like a dozen or more tournaments for various other games/consoles on the day, so feel free to enter those as well.

And there is sumo-suit wrestling. That's worth $40 on its own.

Bump now that it's in tournaments.

[Bielsko]

wow fast ban...

I'm guessing we can bring our own peripherals to this event because I can't play this game without my own keyboard/mouse lol

EDIT: The avcon forums are so outdated can't get any information from there. Still says SC2 will not be at AVCON officially lol. https://avcon.org.au/forum/showthrea...me-Tournaments

EDIT2: Also if someone from AVCON does answer my above, would I be able to play both TF2 and SC2 or will it be too much of a hassle because they are on at the same time.

EDIT3: Can't register on the AVCON forums coz the image verification isn't working.

Thanks.

Where will it be at avcon? If its on the floorplan, point it out. If not, show in which direction from it, Im pretty sure theres more space which isn't specified there.

I'd also like it confirmed that we can bring our own peripherals and if there will actually be internet at the convention centre.

Thanks.

[pikk0n]

I shall come dressed up as um..... Natsumi! I don't even know which/who that character is but it's a common anime/manga name so I'm assuming that this character exists. I'm NOT a girl so SUFFA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[x5_Potter]

To the time: I'm still waiting for a reply -_-

To peripherals: I'm still waiting for a reply -_-

To internet: The reply I got was "We have had all of this checked by our committee members and each of them are gamers and confident that the internet they will have onsite will be sufficient."

I'll let you know more as I know more.

[TAsCarLet]

do you have to get the ticket beforehand from somewhere or can u just pay at the door?

[frequency]

@TAsCarLet: You can do either, it's all here: http://www.avcon.org.au/2011/tickets

Last check on the avcon site stated that you were not able to bring your own devices due to time restraints, however this was for the street geeks room. Here is a response I recieved from TLS in regards to the situation:
Hi,

Unfortunately the event is run by Avcon and we are only having a presence there so I assume that if it states the information on their website then it should be correct. You should confirm with an Avcon member to double check just in case.

But I am still unsure if it will be held in the street geeks room or another location.

Can't bring your own peripherals? Well that kinda blows :| Hope this isn't the case.

Yea, I mean I could play on any setup and suck just as bad so it's not a huge deal if was to play. But to watch people play and knowing that they are all handicapped makes me feel less inclined to spend the money to get in.
