Come watch the Major League Gaming finals taking place in Raleigh, NC with a bunch of fellow StarCraft fans. If all goes well we'll definitely make this a regular thing. Show up and be one of the few who will be able to say they were there when it all started!
We'll be watching at the Clocktower Brew Pub on Bank St. I'll be there from noon to 9PM, so drop by anytime and support your local BarCraft! The tournament schedule still isn't set, but based on the MLG Anaheim schedule, the Semifinals should start at Noon, and the Finals should start around 4PM. This thread will be updated with accurate times when they're available.
I've reserved the large basement room for us so we'll have the use of the large projector down there - there will be no squinting at small screens to see the supply.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no cover, but we'll be having a TShirt draw with $1 tickets, so bring some loonies! The winner will be able to pick the colour and size of their tshirt, as well as the race logo we bleach onto it. For example: http://i.imgur.com/fkapM.jpg , http://i.imgur.com/PywDH.jpg .
We'll have a private wireless network so if you're interested in playing a few games in between the tourney games, you are welcome to bring your laptop. Please, no desktops. REVISED: There will be no room for laptops once the finals begin so if you are planning on bringing one, please show up earlier in the day.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Getting there by Car: The Clocktower does have some parking available, but if that fills up there is pay street parking along Pretoria. Be warned, Bank St. is closed due to construction so you will have to approach via O'Connor St.
Getting there by Bus:
If you're Southbound, the #1 and #7 go down O'Connor now. Get off at O'Connor and Pretoria, and then walk west down Pretoria to Bank St and the Clocktower will be on your right.
If you're Northbound on the #1 or #7, get off at O'Connor and Patterson. Walk North along O'Connor, go left at Pretoria, and walk down to Bank st., the Clocktower will be on your right.

Check out the Reddit thread at http://www.reddit.com/r/ottawa/comments/jllfb/ottawa_barcraft/ if you're into that, or email me at OttawaBarCraft@gmail.com to get on the mailing list for updates.
NOTES:
1) The Bartenders have requested that you bring cash. You will still be able to pay via credit or debit but if you use cash your transaction will be quick and we'll have more bandwidth for SC!
2) We have had an incredible response with over twice as many people as we'd originally expected. We will rectify this for next BarCraft but for this Sunday be advised it is first-come-first served.

Since they won't actually be playing Starcraft at the bar.
Unless some of the spectators are into cosplay...
Aku. Elf.... For the alliance.
You buffoon.
The gathering is for StarCraft. But as you well know, or maybe not, WarCraft is of the same company, and also has a pro league associated to it. As you may well remember, your own nepheu played WarCraft quite frequently (GG Hoss!). So it is not that far of a stretch to think that there will be WarCraft fans as well as StartCraft fans at that gathering as both games are essentially the same. Both gather resources. Both have buildings from which you build units. Both have buildings wich give you additional perks when you do research.
Buffoon.
That's the stupidest, ugliest, smelliest ape of them all!!!

I do not smell. I bath everyday.
but it's unlikely.
