Respawn is putting on another SC2 tournament! $350 first prize!

details here: http://www.respawn.com.au/?page=events&event=34

Zardoz, the organiser of the LAN is a boss, and fully supports SC2 (even claiming his love for the fanbase above other games).



VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION: If you want to go, prepay SOON!!!!!!!!! Because of the $1000 CS:GO tourney, people are filling in FAST! SO GET GOING!!!!


Also, I'd love numbers and who's who for everyone that is going, so IXL could potentially sit everyone together away from the CS:GO and CoD kiddies, and we could have some massive communal hangout.

WE CAN ALL BAKE A CAKE FILLED WITH RAINBOWS AND SMILES AND EVERYONE WOULD EAT AND BE HAPPY

I urge all Melbourne players too be part of this, as it's always great fun and spending up to 24 hours together talking/playing games/stealing people's media!

Sick, so does that mean if people are unable to bring their own comp they'll be able to still play in the LAN or does it just depend on the day and how many people show?

You need to bring your own PC

[SFTAElessar]

I would love to go but i live in sydney and have school

[ToRJemsk]

Just registered!

I'm new to the SC2 scene (a love child of WCS Sydney) and I haven't been to LAN since Fragware 1999 so I might need somebody to hold my hand ...

I'm from the Burwood and can provide a lift if anyone needs one? (I can also provide a spare laptop for any interstaters?). I'm helpful like that

[inFeZa]

I am registered to go!
Can't wait! 2 Melbourne lans coming up ! n_n

[LaughingMan]

wat

[iVnschmuttt]

How many SC2 players are expected? I looked at the players list and only recognized about a dozen SC2 players. Also since I have prepaid I don't need to worry about confirmation rounds right?

Quick Comments

BearPack:

we're not sure who is going 100% either, prepaid is fine!

[NOM]

I'll be there! ^(^.^)^

[BearPack]

UPDATE: SEATS FOR STARCRAFT 2 HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED!

http://respawn.com.au/images/seats/v25-seats-002.png

I am led to believe that we can just sit down wherever we want in the SC2 area that has (kindly) been provided for our community by Zardoz, so if you're looking for seats together with mates, etc, I suggest getting there nice and early so that you can get yourself set up!


It's gonna be a kickass weekend, I look forward to meeting a lot of you!

edit: Just counted - 42 seats for us. Nice.

Quick Comments

NOM:

[iVnschmuttt]

I'm a retard for asking this again but I don't need to confirm because I am prepaid right?

Quick Comments

NOM:

yea, its either prepay or confirm

[iVnschmuttt]

I can also give anyone who lives within 30min of the venue a lift there and back .

[Mayo]

I'm not entirely sure how it all works sorry Schmuttt, but on the lift case - Dark Phoenix needs a lift, I'll link him to the thread.

Sounds like a bit, but when you consider the event goes for 2 days, you'll play a minimum of 12 games of SC2 (More assuming you don't lose 0-2 every set), other competitions, leeching, gaming, etc. Not a bad way to spend 1-2 days.

Last time there were 25 players, but we were missing quite a few of the regular sc2sea guys. A lot of casual respawn people sign up. Might get 30-40 this time.

Nah man, if you've pre-paid and registered, there is nothing left to do but get there and set up. Just speak to the admins when you get there, they'll tick your name off their list, and give you a shitty badge thing that no-one wears.

[Pox]

Do we need to book our own seats, or are those "SC2 areas" reserved for us the whole time?

[Eddie]

The sc2 area will be for the whole time. If it fills up straight away, there will be other individual spots. If you wish you book a spot by yourself/with friends outside of the sc2 area, you can, but will need to do so on the respawn website, or just see what's available when you get there. Seats will be provided.

[inFeZa]

Wow nice! looking good I might bring my actual pc not just my laptop in fears that it may get too hot over the 2 days lol

[darkphoenix22]

i live in elwood, nrxt to stkilda........if i could get a lift from someone it would be great. will pay petrol, tip and hugz

[SLCN.Petrify]

Anyone in the bentleigh area want to give me a lift? I would love you 5ever. Also I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to bring my PC without it dying so if anyone wants to help me out in that regards that would be amazing

The first round shall be seeded. From then on, the system shall start attempting to play winners against each other, and similarly ranked players as we progress.

[Hojie]

There will be a mix since respawn has a lot of casual players. The format will guarantee lots of games, and try and balance you with similar level players as it goes.

Show up and register on the day. Starcraft players need to arrive and set-up by 11 am

[inFeZa]

Also for those who want to play some other games - you can pre order worms revolution and get worms armageddon free!

[Mayo]

We will have an online stream, you will have to ask the organisers about streaming from the event..
They have done it before.

[inFeZa]

Cool - Yeah i've never been to a respawn before, So excited.

[2ezy]

Wish I was back home, I would be there it started >.<

[Pox]

[Eddie]

Congratulations to Deth for winning Respawn LAN #25!

Results:

1st | NvDeth | | $350
2nd | ToRPezz | | $100
3rd | ToRPox | | $50

Top 8 Brackets
Swiss Brackets

Great turnout. Fun day. Lot of competitive games, quite a few unlucky not to make top 8. Those that did played some awesome series, especially ToRPezz, fighting his through the losers bracket to make the final, then taking the first series off Deth.

Thanks to IXLives, Mattyb + mirth for casting.

[SLCN.CautioN]

Thanks Jemsk for the lift to Respawn !

[inFeZa]

such a great yet long day! I will definitely be at the next one! downloaded soooooo much!
Hopefully next time the stage can actually be put to use, and we can have a spectators area. The organizer of the LAN thought that would be a good idea. hopefully we can make this bigger and better every time

[Mayo]

They are changing the layout for the next LAN, most likely having 2 stages and moving most of the admins into where the SC2 area is, so we can actually SEE the people on stage

[Mayo]

Pics are up here too: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1951439&type=1

[inFeZa]

Those box cases were really cool btw! Damn if everyone had one of those car packing for 4 people would be so much easier!

[Mayo]

Yeah those were the Armor A30, I made our new PC's use those for that kind of reason.
Epsecially when I have to bring 10 PC's for a 5v5 game or something I end up needing a whole freakin truck lol.

I used 1.5 pallets for some LANs just due to the sheet size of cases.

if we aren't doing LoL/CSGO at the event, I can possibly start bringing a couple spare PC's to hire out to inter-state players.
Respawn are happy to keep fronting the same cash and might bump it up again a little soon.
