We have a `monthly` in November ya could hit too if you're interested.  Very low-key, laid back, relaxed.
I'd like to, but it's a bit of a drive for me (little over 2 hours), so I'll stick to the big events.
Bumped with tentative tourney list.
Starcraft 2 should work even without a LAN mode. They had a Starcraft 2 tournament at PAX LAN, and they didn't have any problems (though I'm not sure if they restricted internet access to only Starcraft players or something like that, but I doubt it).

Also, the Fites intranet is freaking cool. I can see this being VERY useful during the LAN!

Nope, I have that issue as well. Mark will fix it.

Ok, going forward the direct link in the PM will work. It had to do with it posting the wrong ID.

For the people that already purchased the link in the PM to your order detail page will still give you the correct download for your tickets.

Mostly depends on it getting a REAL LAN mode before the event.

Pretty sure blizzard said they arent going to...but didnt we have decent internet at 200man last year? I dont think it would require a lot to be able to run it.  but anyway was just wondering, would really look forward to a sc2 tourney.

I will say it again.

If we can't guarantee a connect for a tournament it won't happen.

We need to create an environment that will be fair and consistent for all players. You would be surprised at how much bandwidth 200 gamers can eat up. Last year the downstream was pegged at 50mb/s for 90% of the event.

In all honesty, if we could support an online tourney already, we'd have done BF:BC2. Though if Blizzard releases the LAN patch, you`ll see a tourney for that. If no official tourney, then we can certainly heavily recommend/announce structured games but really can't call it a tourney if people complain of dropped connections and what not.

Well, like I said, I've heard of LANs having successful Starcraft 2 tournaments despite the lack of an actual LAN mode. I don't know for sure, but I would assume that  Starcraft 2 uses less bandwidth than a FPS. Especially Bad Company 2, with all of that building destruction going on.

I think at the very beginning of the LAN we should run test games to see how it works, and if we don't experience any problems, then a tournament should happen.

You can certainly play but we cannot offer any official tourneys. If you get enough people to play (we`ll be happy to announce it)  we can run an unofficial tourney and help you keep track of the brackets. But since we cannot guarantee the connection one it leaves our network at the LAN event, we cannot run an official tourney.
