Toronto Lan?!

i0nz · August 2011

any teams interested in renting out an internet cafe in Toronto to host a tournament bracket event for crossfire?

Ill start searching for candidates for the place to play, but I figure we could maybe do a double elimination style tourney for a little cash prize

The lan will be buy in, to pay for the costs of the rental and the cash prize at the end...

If i get like 10 teams we can definitely do this ****.. post your interests here

and if you got a team post the team name and we can set a day sometime this fall

I could come, but not my team. Like 3 of em our in China. But i could come if a team has 4 and play for them. I could throw in 10$. As long as its before September.

I think the entry fee if I had to guess per person would end up being something like 15-25 dollars a person depending on how many teams we have.. It would be a day rental for 20 computers I would figure, so 2 teams at a time

I would definitely like to get some big names there, and get a solid turnout 10 teams would be awesome

i0nz · August 2011

that being said anyone know of any LAN cafes in Toronto that would give us some deals?

Maybe Z8 could help and sponsor the event? or at least set us on the right track?

I only know you guys and LL are from Toronto, however if there is teams in the GTA ex Brampton Missisauga etc they could come.

Hehe, this has been tossed around quite a bit. We had one at launch, and we are looking to do another. No immediate plans though, its hard to find big enough cafes/cafes willing to close down for some time.

Let us know about your findings

COOOL man, so this could happen!

ya our entire team is based around Toronto I dont think there's any problem for us getting there.. I think 3 or 4 of LL's guys are in the Toronto area.. I'm talking to blitzed now or at least trying to, too see if he would enter a team as well

If things check out we could maybe make this a monthly event, if the price is right that is

if we dont get teams only a bunch of players, I can randomize the people playing and put people on teams

I'm not sure if they are there, its a little bit before my time. I believe they used NetPlay at Times Square on around Highway 7 + Leslie area. (I think the plaza is called 'times square or commerce gate')

I'm not too sure if they are around anymore though. Last I checked (they have KBBQ there, yum) all I saw was sticker machines.

Ye exactly,if we can get more than 15 people. That would be awesome. Get Saidin to come and direct it! Would be cool!

http://www.world66.com/northamerica/canada/ontario/toronto/internetcafes/netconnect_1 these guys look decent, has over 20 computers 3 hours is 5$ and there open 24/7. It even says it host gaming tournaments? Should i call them?

BlitZ_Bolt · August 2011

This has been discussed several times... Sadly you most likely wont even be able to get like 4 teams, nevermind 10. I'll showup though, and make sure kids aren't using those 2x more accurate wcg guns.

Ya give em a call and see if we could perhaps rent the place for a day.. let me know what they say to that.. were definitely going to need more then 3 hours

poke around and see what you can find out

Thanks sauce, id really appreciate if you could police the lan... dont worry btw, we wont be using the WOGL AC

unreal I guess I need to find a team that is thinking about going :P iv been wait for this awhile

Artur_Soul · August 2011

I'd love to do it even though my team is like in Alberta mostly, I'd probably join a team.

YESpc on eglinton and yonge st is a nice little broken down lan centre... if your just looking to play a fun small tourny we wouldn't need a host.... bring 10$ and your good for hours of gameplay ... if your looking to be rewarded for being the best team i say we throw down some money. make our own entry fee, winner takes all !

Ps: someone drag blitz there so he can stop calling everyone he gets owned by a hacker

Damn Canadians always think there better than Americans cause of there extremely low ping!
