After the last Toronto LAN in September, I was told over and over, we needed to do another, and soon! Even at GXL, I was asked when the next LAN would be. We have a date, and things are starting to get rolling. Get your butts ready for another Toronto LAN!

[b]Directions via TTC[/b]

[B]From Yorkdale Station/Line 1 Yonge University:[/b]
Follow these directions if you are taking GO to Yorkdale. If you are coming from Viva or any bus that stops at Downsview or Wilson Stations, you can go south to Yorkdale and take the bus Lansdowne Bus.
Take the 47B Lansdowne via Bridgeland south to Bentworth Ave. and walk west (The 'no exit' side of the intersection)

If you are coming from a station along the Yonge side, north of Lawrence you should take a bus westbound to the western station (Lawrence West, and so on). South of Lawrence Ave., you could take a bus west from the station to Caledonia (North of St. Clair), or Lansdowne (South of Davenport).
(This probably sounds weird and makes no sense, but it makes sense to me, and I have a visual map in my head. Either way, it's still probably a good idea to look up directions on Google Maps and the TTC website just to make sure)

[b]From Lansdowne Station/Line 2 Bloor-Danforth (Or anywhere downtown):[/b]
Follow these directions if you are coming from Union Station, anywhere in the downtown area, or along the Bloor line.
Take the subway to Lansdowne Station (Make sure you picked up a transfer). Take the 47B Lansdowne via Bridgeland north to Bentworth Ave. and walk west (Again, the side of the street that has a dead end).

[b][h]General FAQ[/h][/b]

[b]Where can I buy my ticket and register?[/b]
I have to close payment so I can get confirmed numbers to the venue.

[b]I hear there's a secret santa going on, how do I participate?[/b]
There will be a $10 secret santa going on as well.

Thickney is in charge of that while I am focusing on LAN stuff. Please add Thickney on Steam, or PM here on TFtv.

[b]Is this event BYOC?[/b]
We are renting PCs from Hunter & Lucas, so you will not have to bring your PC. I have been asked about BYOC. The venue doesn't really have space to accommodate for that, and having to keep track of some people bringing PCs or not bringing them will get really confusing really fast.

[b]Can I bring my own peripherals?[/b]
I would recommend it. They keyboards and mice are 'meh', but the headsets are alright. I will ask to see if Razer Synapse and the Logitech drivers can be installed beforehand.

The monitors are 60hz. If that's an issue for you, bring your own.

[b]What's the capacity?[/b]
48 players

[b]Is there is an age restriction?[/b]
Hahaha, no. (There isn't, don't worry)

[b]How will seating work?[/b]
The venue has custom-built computer desks and are placed in groups of 4 or 5. As a result, one or two of your teammates will have to sit further from the rest of the team.

[b]Is there a hotel near the venue?[/b]
The nearest hotel would be the [url=https://www.ihg.com/holidayinn/hotels/us/en/toronto/yyzty/hoteldetail?qRef=rr&qDest=3450+Dufferin+Street+Toronto+On+Canada&qRpn=1&qChld=0&qSrt=sBR&qSHp=1&qSmP=3&qGRM=0&qSlH=YYZTY&qRms=1&srb_u=1&qAdlt=2&qPSt=0&qFRA=1&qRtP=6CBARC&qCiMy=082015&qHtlC=YYZTY&qrtPt=162.95&qCoD=07&qCiD=06&qCoMy=082015&qRmP=K.O.T.X.C&qRRSrt=rt&qRpp=12&qBrs=6c.hi.ex.rs.ic.cp.in.sb.cw.cv.ul.vn&qWch=0&icdv=99618783#]Holiday Inn - Yorkdale[/url], which is very close to the 401, and Yorkdale Station.
