[Conquistador]

Any idea how long the event will run for?

Looking forward to the next one!

[rezyn8]

The finals are PvZ and you prolly have the best Protoss and the best Zerg in the world facing off. So you could ask, how long is a piece of string? It should be an epic final and worth every minute of game play.

[Fourby]

I might as well make the most use of my license before i lost it

[bombertaylor]

Will be there for sure, hopefully GM dont bully other lower leagues.

Oh quick question, is there any entry fee ?

There is no entry fee but you will have to pay for food and drinks out of your own pocket

I wonder what the stats are on %of protoss players that bet on drg/% of zerg players that bet on genius because they think the matchup favours the other race :P

[FvRphoneheha]

**** yes tgis is awesome. THANK YOU REZYN8

[xpaperclip]

Great job rezyn8 for organizing this. Great night, can't wait for the next one.

[NvPinder]

Yeah, HUUUUGE shoutout to rezyn8 and everyone else that made this possible, it was a huge success and the numbers that showed completely blew me away.

Nothing but good things to be said about it. Awesome job and looking forward to the next one .

For those curious, im not sure on an exact number telly, but im sure it was >200 in there!

[electro]

lots of fun thanks for running the event!

[doc]

wow what a turnout! shoutout to organisers and everyone there! enjoy the rest of your weekend!

[FvRphoneheha]

Yep, just.... Wow

The night kicked off for me at around 6:30ish when me and some mates arrived. It was already starting to get packed. Fortunately we spotted some space between the 'stage' and the front row, and so we asked the guys if they minded us sitting un front of them. They said it was cool, we grabbed some beers, and so started an epic night.

There were a few mishaps, with the speakers being far too soft at the start, the screen lagging a couplea times, and the venue being a bit packed. But all were sorted out by rezyn8 promptly, or at least as well as they could be. Mad props to him for organising a BEAST of a night, and to Mayo for the prizes from the raffle. guys.

[inFeZa]

amaaaaaaaazing turnout! ~~

[Dox]

Sickest shit ever, had such a blast! Was good to see so many people again.

Awesome night, was good to meet a few people - however the jam packed room made that kind of hard as well.

One again to rezyn8, awesome job dude - can't wait for the next one.

[Bash]

was Really fun, could've used more screens or something, was tough to see from alot of places, and the line at the bar moved REALLY slow,
but you couldnt have possibly predicted such a funking awesome turnout, which was the source of all those issues, props man, great job!

[inFeZa]

Took this from my phone ::

[rezyn8]

Some guys went in Hwaesung jackets too, where's Gezza?

Fun night.

Very successful event, place was packed! 300-350 amazing. Awesome work by rezyn!

Good to see some familiar faces and watch the games in good company. XanT, SlowHands, Deth, Dox, ToRNicknack, rezyn and others. Was too hard to get around and see who else was there.

Bumped into Mayo wearing a stylish Thermaltake Jacket at the train station on the way. Small world.

Not sure the venue is the best for future events. Would need more screens and space, the pylons in the room block some viewing angels, etc. Food was good. Venue were no doubt thrilled with the turnout.

Well played DRG.

The amount of people totally blew me away. They needed to chuck the air-con on, other wise it was great to see so many people turn out for starcraft!

Needed more aircon imo. Front/stage area was at least10 degrees warmer than the foyer area.

[Cendacan]

Its nice they have E-Sport on the bars insteed of reaguler sports! :P

[Mayo]

Had some awesome fun, I hope you guys enjoyed my prize give-away (even if I wasn't audible ). Props to USA Foods for giving away vouchers too, I'm jelly (Want Junior Mints!).

I turned up a little early to help setup but the bar was already packed!
I think this one bar should be fine, as long as we can get more space and TV's imo (and more staff haha).

Two small video's from my phone:

Also, we need a SC2SEA after party organised

[Sunset]

Was awesome. Discovered I'm way shorter than I thought, couldn't see shit.
Had to have a shower as soon as I got home to wash the nerd sweat off me - SO FKN HOT and it SMELLED ><

Apart from that, awesome ^_^

I met some really nice people - a girl I met in the bathroom (are you on SC2SEA? We should have exchanged RealIDs!), we were talking to two really attractive girls about SC2 who were just there for their boyfriends? Most hilarious conversation.
