I'm planning to talk to my boss about it today. I'm sure if there is interest in it I could set this up. I work at a Pizzeria with plenty of different types of beer on tap. 4 Flat screen TVs in the corners of the restaurant (usually used for sports). I think it can fit about 50 people.



Ill post more info if people are interested.

GSL finals are about to start and I was really hoping someone would want to watch it with me. You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. My sig since 2011. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88

That is if there is enough interest to even justify this first one.

There's still one months time, so lets see what happens

We use to run a regular one, but the founder got busy and myself and the other organizer moved to SD. The founder (Alex Johnson) is still reaching out for someone else to take over. PM me if you have any questions. @ktsalz

Don't you have to pay to spectate MLG events? Don't you have to pay to spectate MLG events? You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. My sig since 2011. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88

It's $35 for the entire weekend. TBH that's the main reason we haven't been scrambling to try to put anything together, cause everyone will likely be at the event itself.

I for one am not gonna pay $35 to spectate SC2. Not unless I'm actually going there with friends. And none of my friends are e-sports fans. I for one am not gonna pay $35 to spectate SC2.

But I majorly agree that MLG Anaheim is not the time to start your BarCraft. You won't get enough attendance to impress the venue, and then that screws that potential impression. My suggestion would be the next WCS Finals for next season, or perhaps some other big event.



Anyway, I would love to organize a meetup, maybe all sit together kinda thing, at MLG Anaheim, so we can all meet and talk more! And also join the facebook group as KT above mentioned: Ello folks. I definitely support the idea of getting BarCraft back on its feet in LA, since Alex is too busy these days, and KT moved to SD. Hit me up with a PM about joining up with the group of BarCraft organizers in SoCal, and we'll get you some resources to get you going.But I majorly agree that MLG Anaheim is not the time to start your BarCraft.

Dumb_ Profile Joined June 2013 5 Posts #10 Great idea! I would say host it for a non-MLG California event though. Too many people will go to that event. If you do it for like an East Coast or something like that, I would definitley go.

LFHaunt Profile Blog Joined April 2011 United States 101 Posts #13 Ill take the price of the Anaheim prices into account and maybe it will be better for the first event at this venue to be delayed to another event. Ill post up another one of these when the time comes.
