[NSW] Western Sydney Dramacraft: The home of drama!

[Jarop]

YSB in March will be happening on Saturday the 15th. The smash wall be reserved as always for casuals / tournaments. There was an issue this month in regards to number of set-ups presumably because everybody was holding out for RoS2 yesterday, so hopefully we're able to secure more set-ups and run more traditional brackets (Melee + Brawl? let me know). Even if we can't, we can probably get a similar set-up going to last month with casuals + team tournaments but I it'll all come down to what you guys want to do. Whether 2 people or 200 people show, there's space for smash at YSB so let us know what you'd be interested in coming out for.

 

[Gords]

[Gords]

yeah i spoke to ZXV already, its actually what prompted him to get around to making that thread

 

[Hughie]

Might head up to Sydney in September if there's anything happening then. Anyway speculated events for September?

 

[Rob Taylor]

Yo Gords, this is Dirac from the last YSB, you told me to contact you here to smash?

 

[Gords]

I just started playing League of Legends, guys need to add me and teach me the ways.
Just played my first ranked game and we got dominated within 10 minutes or so, I always feel like their attacks do way more than mine for some reason to, it's annoying.

As a former LoL player I highly recommend you switch to DotA. LoL is the Brawl of MOBAs.

xD I like that analogy hahaha, is DotA f2p as well? I was thinking of trying them both out, It's a lot more difficult as well isn't it?

@ Invisi , oh yeah thought I might add, I was chilling in the lobby the other day on LoL, and I was checking out the spectator thingy, coz I like to look for games with characters I play, scout some tips and junk, anyways, I saw this game with a Morde and I was like FINALLY! Then I glance over at the name and it was you! I thought the odds of that happening I swear, so I watched like ~10min in then my net stuffed up lol.

DotA is actually F2P unlike LoL with its 10 champions a week rotation. Yeah DotA is harder but so is Melee
And if you still need convincing watch Free to Play (the DotA documentary which is really well produced)

From what I've heard about DotA mechanics, can confirm this analogy. Except that LoL has the bigger player base/following due to the money Riot is pumping into the game. I enjoy LoL for what I imagine are similar reasons to my preference of Brawl over Melee. They're all good games in their own right.

Mm, my ranking means that I end up on the public spectate games fairly frequently. I played morde pretty extensively back in Season 2, and early Season 3, but haven't really touched him in recent times except a few normal games this past week.

By the way, there's a number of Sydney smashers who play LoL together on a fairly regular basis (3-5 days a week on average), and you'd be most welcome to play with us.

ahh nicely put lol! Yeah I'll have to check out the video when I have some more time, looks really interesting, and I can imagine it just goes to show putting time and effort into it really pays off, but I'll probably see tomorrow night! I've only checked out the champion roster for the game since I was interested in it a while back, is it split into like, 'good' v 'evil' kind of? Coz there's too many cool champions haha.

Ohh I see! You were doing pretty well from what I did see, and I noticed you kept his shield up with his abilities, which I had no idea I should be doing haha, so got something out of it!
Yeah I'd be really keen to play! I can only really do so during weekdays or late-ish at night, pretty much when no one is on the net otherwise it lags or d/c's me. I'm still learning what I can about it, and I think I've had the most success with Thresh so far, and doing pretty well with Morde, so I'm enjoying it more, yet to play proper ranked games, since some of the people really turn me off it. My summoner name is 'H3X3R', I'll see if I can send you an invite as well, plus anyone else who plays and would like to add me to.

 

[no.13]

Hi folks. I'm getting back in the game and looking for any smashers (melee) around the Liverpool area. I've got a couple of days off so I'm keen on getting in a bit of play. I'm also happy to drive out wherever you are in the Sydney area.

 

[Tin Man]

Alright guys, the next Canberra tournament is officially up! Canberra Colosseum 5 is going to be held on April 26 at the ANU. I'm pretty excited with this location since it's very central in Canberra!

[Luco]

Meh, i've never really seen a particular issue with either of them. They have minor differences but might as well be the same game (lol) so i've always felt that just go whever you want and stuff'll work out fine.

Anyone going to BAM this year? It's looking as if I might be able to go, so it'd be nice to see some actual NSW representation this time

 

[Tin Man]

I know some people from ACT are going

 

[Luco]

I know some people from ACT are going

And you? :D

I wanted to meet you back at that meet ages ago but you never showed up. I was sad. :'(

 

[Tin Man]

The Evo weekend meet? And yes I'm going to BAM 6 .

 

[Luco]

The Evo weekend meet? And yes I'm going to BAM 6 .

Ahhh, yes actually I do believe that weekend was during Evo. :o

Awesomeness, I can't wait ahah. :D

 

[Invisi]

I have next week off, so I'm wanting to gauge who would be interested in a brawl meet at my place some time next week. I only have two CRTs, so it would be a relatively small meet, but I am keen to get some more brawl happening in the scene.

Also, I'm not sure if any of the veterans of the scene remember DoMo from Adelaide, but I ran into him in League solo queue. He is now living in Chatswood and keen to play some more brawl, so he might be coming.

 

[Gords]

Invisi. Next weekend as in the easter weekend. The following weekend (26th) is the Canberra tourney in which I was gunna check with you if you wanted to go since tonight I managed to get that sat night off

 

[Invisi]

I'm afraid I can't, my best friend's 21st b'day is on the 26th. I am very interested in going back to Canberra for the next tournament, however. Tinaye if you're reading, please try to make the next tournament not on 31/5, as I have another friend's 21st on that date. I will do my best to organise to make it down with a carload in tow =)

 

[Tin Man]

Sounds good Invisi! By the way, is there any smasher (Melee, PM, or Brawl) that's interested in coming down to Canberra Colosseum 5 next week Saturday with Gords? I'm pitching in on the gas $$ this month to make it easier for ya'll to come down so this will be a good opportunity to come to Canberra :D

 

[PaulieProcket]

Yeah atm it looks like I'll be going down as well, hopefully some others become interested by then to, would be awesome to be able to have a group come along.

 

[Tin Man]

Great! Oh and congrats on 3rd place in Project M at RoS 3 :D

 

[PaulieProcket]

Oh thank you! hahaha

 

[Splice]

As a former LoL player I highly recommend you switch to DotA. LoL is the Brawl of MOBAs.

Just doing my bit to jump in and agree that you should definitely get into DotA Paulie.
It's the good times

I think I'm gunna play LoL for quite a while longer still, at least until I get to the point where when I pick up DotA, learning another 100~ champs isn't going to be too daunting and confusing hahaha, but nonetheless I definitely want to get into it some time!

 

[Tin Man]

The results of Canberra Colosseum 5 are up! Thanks to everyone who came. The Canberra scene's been growing and hopefully this momentum continues!

[Invisi]

Looks like Sydney had a pretty decent showing too, hopefully that can continue. I am planning to drive to the next Canberra tournament, so let me know if anyone's interested in a lift. Hopefully we can organise this well ahead of time just to make sure we all know what's happening.

I also have to say that is one scary brawl bracket. Hopefully we can get a few more entrants next time, else I don't fancy my chances of getting too far! Big congratulations to Shaya for taking it in the end. I saw Apollo has started uploading recordings which is really great. I'm not sure how many are coming, but I look forward to watching them all =). For those who are unaware, you can find his channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/zApples13

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the next one!

 

[Shaya]

Matches weren't really recorded that much after our set unfortunately, things were a bit behind and Apollo had to leave early.

Things were a lot behind.
If you can't run six events, then don't.

Point taken! Things will bebetter next time .

Glad you already got housing arranged! Since the next tourney's at a convention, I'm sure there will be more casuals. I'll be posting up on it soon .
