Here we go again.

Considering I literally had to threaten to get dates/location for EVO East, good luck getting this info.

Here’s what we know:

It’s in August.

It’s not at Green Valley Ranch.

People will need to buy plane tickets ahead of time, and if they don’t do so arguably within the next 2-3 weeks, they will be extremely expensive.

People need to reserve rooms, but this won’t be a problem since EVO usually has room blocks reserved for the gamers.

The major problem I foresee is 1. people paying extra for tickets because they weren’t given advance notice and 2. people having probs saving money/taking time off of work for the same reasons.

Pretty weird that EVO expands so large this year, yet it seems to be pretty poorly planned overall. Rules nobody agrees with besides the buddies of the staff, inexplicable prize distribution with no explanation as to why, adding a Nintendo DS game that’s already been proven to be garbage in competitive play instead of something else worth playing in tournament, and now this.

QFT. I wanna know what’s going on with this crap so I can plan vacation time and figure out how I’m gonna pay for everything.

Wow, those dates are incredibly close to school for us. Good thing I wasn’t planning to go? XD

Isn’t it about time to close this topic and make a new one with the dates announced? Or are you waiting for the rest of the info to be released beforehand?

Rakukojin · June 6, 2006, 11:08pm

I guess I’ll be able to make it to Las Vegas if I can get enough money since my 2nd session final is a week before.

Lvl.3 · June 7, 2006, 5:39am
