Damn. Already a thread. That was fast.
Stay tuned. We will have more info coming your way.
Sooooooooon!
Edit:
Just bumping this thread-
We can confirm there will be a 6v6 Team Fortress 2 LAN at Esports Arena January 21-22. While the official announcement will be on its way in a few weeks with more details, we wanted to offer some basic information to clear up some questions you may have about the event. There will be an official thread with the final details when that announcement comes. If you're unfamiliar with the venue, their website is here: http://esportsarena.com/. They're located in trendy Downtown Santa Ana, California: http://www.downtown-santaana.com/.
Our event will be shared with some small Halo 1 and Shadowrun tournaments, and players are welcome to participate and mingle.
We are planning two tournaments for TF2: an invite level tournament, and an open tournament. There will be a low entry fee per person for each team. Spectators who do not wish to play are free, and will have seating available. We're working on bringing you some top-tier casters and analysts as well as international teams of repute, HOWEVER, the prize pool and invited teams have not been made official yet. (Format has likewise not been formalized.)
The venue provides all PCs onsite, so no BYOC, all you need to bring is peripherals. Peripheral rentals are also available and are generally free to tournament players.
More information about available accomodations will be forthcoming, but if you're looking to attend, you'll want to fly in either LAX or SNA. SNA is ~10 minutes from the venue and will likely be where our hotel is located, however for some LAX may be cheaper. LGB is another airport option about 30 minutes from the venue. We encourage you to look at all airport options when planning your trip, as well as shuttle services which offer the reasonable pricing for transport from LAX (http://shuttletolax.com/, for example).
We are looking at possible sponsors for the event, please contact b4nny or samiface if you have any possible leads.

Because we dont have many too pick and choose from. Many many people suck it up and come out east for the lans so some people can do the same for the west.

Damn, really excited but also kind of short notice. Doubt I'll be able to get enough vacation time at work to go, but maybe!

Socal is a pretty bad location for most people who would attend, despite it being closer to me. Obviously, something more centralized (Dallas, Chicago, Denver, etc) would be just better for everyone, but this is a very very good venue to hold an event at.
The Esports Arena has held multiple decently high profile CS:GO LANs and a decently sized OW LAN as well. They'll have all the infrastructure and backbone to make this a damn good event.
