On topic, however, it's only illegal to buy/have someone buy you alcohol (afaik), and even then if we get a bunch of people at a pub to watch Starcraft and buy drinks, I highly doubt the pub will go and check everyones ID. Still, you young fuckers better not drink.

Pubs are getting pretty anal these days. The amount of money they can lose for selling alcohol to underagers or even having alcohol bought for underagers is pretty huge. We had a similar event for the Australian Baseball League at the Alma once and we all got asked for ID when it hit around 8pm.

Yea, also a lot of pubs at that time start turning into club like things. Ive even been taken from a pub for wearing sneakers after 8pm during a meal because they were enforcing dress code. It gets even worse for age unfortunately
So I had a chat with "TheSneak" on Skype tonight (top bloke) and we can confidently say regular barcraft is on it's way to Adelaide! One of the first obvious steps is looking into an appropriate venue to cater to our needs.
We both agreed something in the CBD, or in very close proximity to, is the most practical place to host it as it is central to the most amount of people.
I will be doing some research into venues over the coming days but wanted to ask if any of you had suggestions for potentially suitable venues I should take particular interest in/or if you know people within these pubs we could use.
Criteria:
In the CBD or close proximity to
Preferably not exceptionally busy on Fridays/Saturday afternoons (so we can chat and hear commentary)
Has a suitable sized TV at an appropriate location
Has a satisfactory net speed (sources tell me 6MB/sec download or higher with standard adsl 2 should manage HD streaming) - I can always find this out by calling them later
Bonus if they are cool with having U18s there
