SRK/Evo Winter Event?

Evo Championship Series
1

We are currently requesting feedback on a possible winter event. This could be a party or a tournament or a get together that would happen during the winter months.

This event could be a 24 hour event, where we run throughout the night partying while playing video games.

The event would most likely be held in Los Angeles and its surrounding areas.

Some basic questions we would like answered.

  1. Would you be willing to attend this event?
    1b) Would you travel to an event like this?

  2. What kind of event would you like to see? (Party/tournament/get together/lock in)

  3. Do you have usual plans during the holidays?

  4. Do you have any objections to having this on New Years Eve/Day as a way to bring in the new year?

Thanks in advance for all feedback.

You should make it a huge fat BYOC get together.

<Kai_> most important question
<Kai_> will MrWizard be dressed as santa
<MrWizard> wow
<MrWizard> i would possibly dress as santa

I think its a great idea, but really unexpected. I would love an event like this, but location and timing are key. I don’t know if i can justify it. Now if we could somehow get it going on EC and WC at the same time, then we’re talking. :slight_smile:

This actually sounds like a bit of fun. Hate to say it but I have no life whatsoever.

I would be willing to attend and possibly willing to travel depending on the location and everything. A lock in would be awesome but who knows how tempers would flare especially in the party atmosphere that comes with the winter time of year - and everyone’s competitive edge. All it takes is one person acting up and next thing it’s a wrap.

I tend to have no major plans during the holidays outside of Christmas Eve/Day itself.

Also I have no major objection to ringing in the new year with everyone, but I am sure someone else will bring up a point that I can’t think of right now.

1b) Perhaps I would, if it were going to be incredible.

2.) Itd have to be something incredible and never before seen to get me to travel to WC. If theres a party all night, I’d need alcohol enticement. It would be nice if it were somewhere lots of Cali locals could welcome travelers with the usual New Years madness, but just throw games on top of it. Guarantee a DJ and a decent sound system. Guarantee a sufficient number of setups for people to play on. Guarantee a venue large enough but close enough that a party environment could thrive. Dance floor, open bar, cover fee, party… basically BYOC with a dance floor instead of a tourney? Adult gaming party? Pole Dancers? Wiz in a Santa suit? This is just one idea…

3.)Family.

4.) Not necessarily, family is usually xmas, but I could get away for this.

i like the idea… but imma have to disagree with ringing in the new year with SRK heads.

i much rather be with friends/family/girl

7

haha…

Count Keystone in. But also, make it some type of tourney to make it worth our while. We party hard and play hard.

Edit: Sure Strider, you got better shit to do :rolleyes:

If this goes down, were making Wizard take shots with us. Bet it!

8

Sounds fun, I would like to take a trip out during the winter…but there would deffinitely have to be a tourney.

9

This sounds great, except for the New Year’s Eve part.

10

This would be kinda dope, I could get there easy via megabus, I just don’t like the idea of it being a new years eve party hehe.

11

Nah, I like painting the fence on New Year’s Eve with family and friends.

12

just to be clear, this event is not set in stone at any given time. It could be in December, January and Febuary.

13

Xmas With the Cannons ^.^

Im definitely down for something towards winter time. maybe the week after christmas? After x-mas, but before new years? A 24hour giant BYOC with maybe one big screen to host matches and MM that never got held during evo can take place here. Sounds like a awesome idea.

And wiz better be dressed up as santa, giving out presents ! * and by presents i mean playing 3rd strike and taking shots of eggnog *

U should try to make the event like a tournament that way u can measure the response some games get and also it will help u to see what games actually have a community. It sort of aleviates some of the situation on what games should be @ evo. I would love a lock in and would be willing to travel to something like this. I could bring atleast around 5 to 6 ppl with me. I would prefer it to be sometimes b4 or after christmas I love games but also have a family and no dont do it on new years either. Too much stuff be going on and some ppl be drunk and u dont know what age groups will be there. Too much stuff can go wrong.

15

Definately tourney worthy, week after x-mas sounds ok too.

16

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

An organized tournament would be nice, but really all I’d ask for is a venue where peeps can just play games and get they drank on.

I usually run away to Asia for the holidays, but I can do that any time, really…

I’d prefer it not be on NYE. But that’s just me.

17

I would absolutely love to ring in the new year playing video games in the LA area.

18

I would go but my job denies requests for days off from November to the first week of january. So I probably wouldn’t be able to go.

19

Some sort of winter get together sounds fun to me. Just have to make sure it doesn’t coincide with other large winter tournies.

I’d like it to be a tourney of some sort, but a big ol’ BYOC event like Granby suggested sounds grand too.

  1. Yes. Wizard, if you dressed up as Santa I would come no matter what. That is the most legendary image EVER. Good god. DO IT.
    1b) Yes. Traveling to SoCal is super easy for myself and I have a lot of friends and potential places I can crash at.

  2. Party/Tournament/Get together all in one. More or less like Evo, but a lot more chill and casual. No money matches. No drama. Just chill, good, clean fun.

  3. No, aside from being with family during Christmas and what not. Work possibly, but I’m currently jobless so my plans this holiday season are open.

  4. None at all, but having this event on NYE/D may be a bitch for people traveling from out of state, flying, or driving a good distance. Traveling during the holidays is no fun sometimes.
