[NSW] Boost: REBOOT - Sunday, the 11th of September 2011

[escro]

but ill be an adult by then ! =D
buh yeah i see your point.
sucks to be me. we'll see what i can do.....

 

[Luco]

I am led to believe the pool was the answer to a subject a few pages ago, when Shaya said that someone(can't remember who) could use his pool anytime.

I'm happy for a tournament anytime tbh.

 

[Shaya]

Unfortunately I can't do a tournament on the weekend of the 16th.

I'm on the gold coast for the league of legends WCG national final.

 

[Luco]

Hmm, did anyone get any vids of last tournament? I was bored, looked up on youtube, saw previous boost vids but didn't see any recent ones.

 

[iKiLLOTz]

Things rarely get recorded at more recent tournaments, nowadays

 

[Shaya]

May be able to look into it again.

Next tourney EA will likely bring his splitters, and something something.

 

[escro]

could we have a tourney on the 13th/14th of november to celebrate the end of my hsc exams?
:D

 

[Invisi]

When might the next available date for a tourney be?

 

[Luco]

Things rarely get recorded at more recent tournaments, nowadays

Maybe next time I should bring a Camera? Or perhaps someone else has a camera (I'm not sure if i have a good working camera)

 

[Leisha]

Just get shaya to bring his recording setup. lul.

pretty sure ted and EA have some too

 

[EverAlert]

ted used to have one of mine, I have finally reclaimed it though. :D

 

[iKiLLOTz]

i have some recording equipment too.

Just throwing that out there, lul.

 

[Shaya]

If people want to manage and record things at tournaments, be my guest.
Would be fantastic :D

 

[Luco]

Awesome, looks like my *checks* awful 7 year old cameras are off the hook. ^^

Alright if that's sorted then i guess i'm kind of repeating what invisi said.

 

[iKiLLOTz]

How were you planning on recording with a camera anyway.

Wouldnt the quality be horrendous?

 

[Rad]

authentic people-around-the-television audio is pretty good hey

that upsmash

 

[Luco]

Dunno tbh

Perhaps the 22nd/23rd?

 

[ImperfeCt]

Time to get more tournies going so we can have a new ranking NSW!

I learnt how to NOT run a tournament this weekend, with the following protips you could ruin the experiences of anyone and everyone.

1. Run a single elimination tournament
2. Make it best of ones.
3. Fly out participating teams from their capital cities at 5-6am in the morning before arriving at the capital city of your tournament and then getting transported straight to the tournament venue without being able to
a. Put your bags anywhere
b. go to the bathroom
c. have a shower
d. find razors...... ...
e. have any form of sleep, rest or break
4. Have equipment provided that is prone to problems such as unresponsive mouse movements
5. Force people to leave their hotel at 2.30am in the morning to catch 6am flights after their **** poorly run tournament
6. Not realising that to appease the masses, all you needed was some magic the gathering.
7. Not distributing players into rooms with their team mates, resulting in OUT OF NO WHERE 10 people in "our" room going 'wait a second we're meant to be here!' at midnight.

 

[swordsaint]

and i think the thing we all take from this, is that you should them how to run a tournament and host one really soon.

 

[Shaya]

I'm scarred for life from gaming tournaments.

On the plus side I was on the 20th floor of a hotel room over looking surfer's paradise. And the weather was mostly fantastic.
Saturday night was thunder storming and it travelled out into the ocean, so epic orange/red as far as the horizon stretches **** going off in the middle of somewhat calm seas, followed by some full moon (or close to) lighting up everything in a nice yellowy light. It was also very pleasant to see waves forming somewhat perpendicular to said rays of light.

Also Vyse.

Also nostalgia seeing the time zone I used to spend my weekends at when I was a kid.

Also counterstrike players are all gangsters in the hood whos gonna stab ya ****.

 

[Invisi]

Also what Scoot said. Cuz Boosts are epic tourneys =D

 

[EverAlert]

4. Have equipment provided that is prone to problems such as unresponsive mouse movements

lolwat they didn't let you use your own input devices/accessories? wtf...

 

[Shaya]

They did. But our "luggage" bags were taken to the hotel after we got dumped at the tournament venue

 

[EverAlert]

quality administration.

 

[Invisi]

What was this for anyway? Just CS?

 

[asianaussie]

heh, all i can say is

LoL

ugh that was horrible

 

[...Ellipsis...]

^^^^^^^^

 

[escro]

so i talked to a few of my friends today about stuff to do after hsc and they seem interested to come to one of these
:O
post hsc tourney ftw
please..

 

[EverAlert]

yeah we really need tournaments

 

[Luco]

I agree with the general consensus here. Maybe this time i can get my friend up.

My brother's winning streak didn't last very long. A few days later we had some games and either he didn't use his strategy or i somehow subconsciously found a way to get around it.

... Meaning i'm very happy.

Plus i'm starting to get the hang of GC controllers now so i can actually be decent at 64 and melee. Yay!

Definitely not the 29th/30th. My suggestion is a week or two after that. 29th/30th i have something on, but i can't remember what....

 

[Shaya]

Sorry I didn't run a birthday boost, BUT i'll look at some dates in the future.

 

[Luco]

My birthday is next year, i'm not waiting that long!

 

[swordsaint]

my next birthday is on a sunday.

lets not wait that long though.
