For five years LANified! has tirelessly brought you top notch gaming events. Double Helix is the next evolution in our gaming events, running from Friday Noon June 15th 2012 to Sunday 6pm June 17th 2012 in Calgary Alberta Canada. This evolution extends our event to three days in length, adds console gaming, and many other delectable improvements. LANified! 11 is a LAN party, with the PC section being BYOC and we will provide the consoles for the console section and tournaments. All primary tournaments will have cash prizes, for both PC and console, currently totalling over $1300 in cash!

We will be running the following tournaments:

PC:
Starcraft 2: Rules
Team Fortress 2: Rules

Console:
Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition (Xbox 360): Rules
Street Fighter X Tekken (Xbox 360): Rules
Super Smash Brothers: Melee (Gamecube): Rules

To enter our event you can prepay for the whole PC section right now, or buy individually into each console tournament (prepay for console tournaments in the works).

For full details of our event, and to sign up and prepay, head to: http://www.lanified.com/events/go/8/2

Make sure to log in and then hit sign up! Once you’re signed up you can then prepay, it’s instant, easy, and GUARANTEES you a seat!

i’m there, i’ll register for AE

edit: just letting you know man. fgc standard is double elimination.

Yeah I talked with a bunch of people about it commonly being double elimination. We did thorough evaluation, both in terms of scheduling, length of tournament and benefits/downsides and we feel for us the format we are using works better for us.

I can’t say when prepay will be open for AE just yet, but if you want to sign up for the event, that should work easy for you. Make an account, login, then sign up for the event. If you like our events, you can re-use the account for future events, making it even easier next time too! \o/

Our coming event is just one month away, but we’re not slouching! We’re busting our backs to bring you a spectacular event. Here are some things that are worth noting for our coming event.

First,

http://www.s2games.com/images/footer_s2logo.png

S2 Games has been one of our biggest contributors and longest term sponsor. We have greatly appreciated their support the last two years. However all things must come to an end, and as such our sponsorship with S2 Games is ending. Thanks S2 Games for your help!

Second,

We have re-evaluated our coming event and are adjusting our ticket price to make the event more accessible to the public. To be specific, we are reducing prepay and at the door pricing. All of the people who have prepaid for this event will be given immediate partial refunds. If you have prepaid and you are having issues please contact BloodyIron immediately. We also have adjusted the ticket price for the console tournaments as we want them to be more accessible too.

Third,

Tournament adjustments. We are still finalizing certain elements of our tournaments. In summary they are:
[LIST]
[]Removing of Heroes of Newerth from our tournament line-up
[]Adjusting of the PC and Console tournament schedules to make them not over lap
[]Revisiting the Super Smash Brothers Melee ruleset
[]Adjusting prizing considering the change in ticket price
[/LIST]
Fourth,

LANified!'s first Portal 2 Map making contest!

Just a few days ago, Portal 2 received an update so you can make maps in-game really easily, and share them with your friends even easier than that! So we’re hosting a map making contest! From now till June 16th 2012 1200hrs (Noon Saturday, second event day) you will have plenty of time to make your best creation! We will be accepting ONE map entry per person. You must attend LANified! 11’s BYOC LAN and submit it by Noon on Saturday to enter the contest. Judging will be done by LANified! Staff members. Methodology for judging is not yet finalized. What do you stand to win? A shiny new Trendnet TEW-680MB ! : http://www.trendnet.com/products/proddetail.asp?prod=230-TEW-680MB&cat=159

But wait, there’s more! We will be holding onto the top 3 maps we grade for an additional contest at the event. You will just have to wait and see what we do with them though.

So what are you waiting for? Portal 2 is only $7 for the next few days! : http://store.steampowered.com/app/620/

We aren’t just stopping with our Portal 2 map making contest. We will be bringing more casual challenges for the event, so keep your eyes peeled!

Fifth,

Our delicious concession is back again! There will be fresh, hot food on site again! If you haven’t had the fortune of being at one of our events where we had our great concession, I feel bad for you. Delicious, nutritious, and oh so convenient. They also try to fill special requests too! Mac and Cheese + Chicken? Very yes!

Cool! Do you have any questions? :slight_smile:

Also, the location information should have a nice map api update now (click on the name of the location to find where it is, on the event details page).

Good news everyone!

Our event is less than one month away! We recently made adjustments to our tournament schedule, and finalized the Super Smash Brothers; Melee format too! The schedule is setup so the tournaments do not overlap at all, so everyone can enter everything.

We also want to remind you that the Portal 2 Map Making Contest is going on still. Players are working hard to enter their creative maps into our contest to win a delicious Trendnet TEW-680MB! Just make sure you attend our BYOC and submit your map by Noon on Saturday and then you’ll be set. We will also be doing something interesting with the top 3 maps that we select.

As in our previous events, we’ve had on-site concession cooked and prepared properly. We will be bringing that back for our coming event, and it’s still delicious and affordable!

If you’re interested in coming, by yourself, with friends, or even so far as to bring your own TF2 team, we recommend you prepay to reserve and guarantee your own seat! To sign-up and prepay head to: http://www.lanified.com/events/go/8/2 Prepay is instant, and really easy.

We’re really excited about our coming event, we hope to see you there!
