You should have an etqw lan comp instead of the 1000$ art comp lol.
ETQW is a definite starter with cash - but wont be formally added until we know the game is released or we hear from activision, or Splash damage at Reloaded HQ.
I wonder what the lineup for Big Day Out in Sydney will be...
I was at Big Day In.. but gaming just doesn't have that same appeal to fly down to SA any more...
The event wont get half as many people as it would if it was held in Melbourne or Sydney.
no offense but thats a load of crap.
Adelaide and perth have had several 500+ events over the last couple of years, and the largest event in Melbounre or Sydney in the same period has been 300 person events. Note that Fusion LAN in melbourne had a 500 person BYOC cancelled for lack of interest.
C&C 3 is likely to be included, i havent finalised the comp list yet - these are just the currently confirmed ones.
I went to a 700+ person WALAN a while back. There are always heaps of big LAN's outside of the usual suspects.
Sydney LAN's are DEAD. Look at MPU and SGL. Look at what happened to the Melbourne LAN's. 'Money money money' - bunch of wannabe progamers.
SA and WA actually have several LAN's on a regular basis.
Digital Art comp? Unless my nuts arnt classified as art im walkin away with $1000 ez. BL OTHER TEAMS.
Damn right, incog. Ive only been to a couple, but Valhalla always impresses, especially with the incredible Corkscrew DMs that go down. Awesome people, awesome venue, awesome organisation, just great all round.
Running the Q3 servers/tournaments at Big Day In was one of the best times I've had in aus competitive gaming. Unfortunately I don't understand why we continue to have big competitions in states where a domestic flight costs an arm and a leg =
Still GL to everyone who goes for the Q3 competition, there should hopefully be some good matches.
Im working on a plan to hold a similar event in Melbourne in 2009. However, my focus for the time being is Adelaide where Im pretty confident I can get the support i need to have this.
You're planning what your doing in 2009? fuck me, I can't even plan what i'll have for dinner before 5pm.
yeh who takes australia seriously for gaming and gamers
we know you take the gamers seriously, Tenielle.
i need a new game.. i'm bored i miss the whole gaming league thingy.

Not much of a UT fan myself.. but TF2 looks cool for some fun
Yeh shaun not many good games out there q3 will always be the best though :P only shooter game that I have liked : ) amazing it's still alive after all these years!

i might play quake3 / 4 as well however taking pc from tas would be a hassle as opposed to just a controller
