You should come out to one of our gatherings on thursdays and fridays, you’ll meet the community and can gauge your level. Plus in the future you should probably specify what game you wanna train in as well. Welcome to ottawa btw, hope you didn’t come from anywhere too warm as this cold might actually kill you.

anyone looking to buy a TE stick? my buddy has an original one barely used. I’m not going to post how much he’s looking for since I am not looking to get flamed for it, but if you’re interested let me know how much. By barely used I mean the most use its got are from the 1-2 times ive been over and played nba jam at his place.

Yo Greg my buddy is interested in getting a TE stick, is it for xbox? let me know how much

So Gaming Ottawa is a thing now. In related news, the Algonquin meets now have decent monitors and way more 360s than yesterday!

I’ll be keeping a lot of my streaming gear on campus now, as well, so I won’t be lugging 4000 pounds out to the college by bus every gathering.

Also, I guess this means I can announce this:

Event Details

Algonquin Competitive Gaming is throwing a giant gaming event. We’ve come across a trove of 360s and EVO Monitors thanks to Gaming Ottawa, and with the help of the community and the Algonquin Student Body, we plan to throw the most sick set of tournaments ever. The event will be livestreamed, and HD recordings will be saved and uploaded for perusal after the event.

The venue is some serious dope ass shit. There’s a well-stocked cafeteria open late into the day, and a Starbucks open until 9:00pm. Restaurants/Tim Hortons close by. A minute South off the 417 highway.

We’re going to try to run tournaments for every game, with either Top 8 or Top 3 for every title broadcasted and recorded. If the FGC is up for it, you’re free to set up shop and do your own broadcasts/recording. We have the space, and the government-level upload. We’ll make space for you.

We’re going to try and have a free-play area for casual matches and a place to bring your own setup. I’m going to bend over backwards to make this event as legitimate as possible. Since I come from the FGC almost exclusively, I’ll be keeping an ear to you guys to tell me what needs to go down.

Every dollar you put into tournament entry will go right into the pots. Venue costs are pending, but should be free for console play.

Give me input on what you want to see there, and any suggestions you can make towards running all these tournaments in as smooth a fashion as possible would be great.

I’m still going to shoutout for volunteer setups and consoles. More can’t hurt. Just bring out your gear and set up. We have security cameras in the conference rooms and I’ll be implementing some extra measures to keep things safe.

Anyways, more info coming down the line. Stay Hungry.

Let’s do something awesome, Ottawa.

PM’d you.

Best of luck, and I’ll try to make it out.

When you have a crippling fear of bad electrical, you don’t need luck.

Okay… maybe a little luck.

I would message Vince Hui AKA RXS AKA Mr Canadian Spooby to see if he’s interested in coming down.
