Depending on how popular this is, I would love to set up a barcraft event in Dublin City for the MLG event in Providence, mid November. In Cork City, they held a barcraft event just yesterday and the night before for Orlando, which was a huge success. Not only did fans turn up, but blizzard's employees turned up to watch the event. I think we can do the same thing up here with great success.



So how do we do this? Post to this thread if you would be interested in attending this event and if we get a good response, we can approach some pubs and get the ball rolling :D

We're pretty active on boards, that's the best way to get in touch with the Irish SC2 community. There's like 50ish people who have turned up for 3 tournaments and barcraft last week.



I'll crosspost for you, pop in to boards and say hi!

As Freepower said, use Boards too.



We've already had a Dublin barcraft ad the managers were more than happy to host another.



EDIT: The previous Barcraft in Dublin:

Best of luck, of course -- would be good to get a location where a lot of people from all over the country could attend.

BashfulBen Profile Blog Joined June 2011 Ireland 29 Posts #7 Just looking at the different forums, the boards.ie posts and the reddit thread, I know that we can get something crazy going for Providence. If we get enough people, we can do better then renting out just a pub. In cork they managed captain america's. we could get people from all over the country for a weekend of pure starcraft. If we can get a lounge rented out, we could go all night until the grand final on sunday, right in the city centre. so lets spread the word and get this thread out everywhere. we have time to make this unreal :D

So the plan is, find a venue that will let us house a lot of people and will stay open until the end of championship sunday which could be around 9PM EDT, which is around 1-2PM local (correct me if I'm wrong) So the best case scenario would be a venue like Captain America's on Grafton Street Dublin. It's central, can hold about 120 people.



Now depending on the response to this, we may need a larger venue. But note, the bigger it gets, we may have to sell tickets. Like 5 euro a ticket. We will never charge you anything over this 5 euro because this is for fun, not for any gain. Money would go towards the venue and facilities. But as of now, there will be NO COST besides whatever you buy in drink



For now, it's down to the interwebz. This thread HAS to get around. We need hype. People from all over Ireland, this is for all of you. So come up from Cork and down from Northern Ireland. It'll be an amazing night. Let's try and get 100, then 200 people. Let's make this huge! We have just under a month. If we don't at least get a 100 people onto this, we can't do it.



I'm also gonna be sending invites to the Blizzard Employees in Dublin AND Cork and get as much attention on this as possible. So spread the word. On boards.ie, reddit.com and anywhere else we can get people. We do this right, and itll be a championship sunday to remember!
