Hey there, Ontario and Quebec. This is Bruce “Krackatoa” Szego of the FGC.
Apparently, Ottawa’s Algonquin College has a new, $75,000,000 building with all the electrical, networking, and space we need to throw a kickass series of tournaments. With the help of GO Gaming, the Algonquin Competitive Gaming Club has the equipment it needs to run every kind of tournament we can get players for, alongside a wonderful bandwidth-sucking high-def livestream.
I can’t even begin to say how awesome this venue is. You’ll have to come see it for yourself. It is SOLID, and the school will be providing as much electrical as we can cart from their IT department. This also means venue costs are next to nothing. Which means you pay nothing for attendance. Venue is free. Outside of the tournament stations, console stations are OPEN, with space for volunteer/BYO stations being provided. No alcohol is allowed on the premises, but there is the on-campus pub open until 10pm, and a local pub across the street.
We’re looking to run these double-elim brackets in a timely fashion, so you can get on with your day/go eat/go drink/etc. This will be Algonquin’s first big event, so we’re looking to make it a good one.
So there you have it. We’re keeping our ears open to the community to put on the kind of event you guys want to see. What you want is what we want, and we will bilk the Canadian school system for everything they’re willing to give us.
Come on down and bop some folks.
The details listed should be cemented, but changes to the tournament schedule will be uploaded/updated ASAP in order to keep everyone informed.
keep me posted if you get any information
