And if you want to witch hunt really badly, come to my LAN.

Still waiting to hear back from the venue. I need to know what they're going to charge roughly before I can calculate the price of registration.

So I asked for them to remove the shipping cost and paid for the monitor.

I got an email the other day with a Purolator shipping number.

What

I'm working on a less serious project at the moment, mostly to make sure I won't run into the same issues I did when I was editing last year's GXL vid that I made.

I'm sure people are asking the same thing about the TLAN demos.

I've had a total of 12 teeth pulled out through oral surgery. 8 baby teeth, and later 4 adult teeth.

I went and played a hockey game two days after the 4 adult teeth. Smart decisions kappa

Hey Yipyapper, can you bring Ember with you?

Yeah thank for letting us know. Thank God I set it to update manually.

I knew I recognized this name from somewhere.

I'm LFT Medic Open. I'll play NA or EU.

Are memes read with heavy prejudice here?

Why switch to fullscreen? After I started using borderless window, I saw no reason to switch back, but part of that is probably because I tab out a lot.

I use dx9frames as well.

That would also get really confusing, really fast, heheh.

I've probably already mentioned it, but I'm looking to use a completely different platform to manage registration and payment this time round. I'm also looking into using a more formal platform for tournament-specific stuff. Just sending some emails off at the moment.

Also, here's another poll for you guys: http://strawpoll.me/5982784

So I have to figure out timing with the computer rentals and how many to rent. That's our biggest topic in back-and-forth emailing right now. I want to see if I can book a base amount of PCs, and expand from there if there is more interest.

Lol im lazy

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!

Basic Information:

Toronto Fortress Winter Tournament

Venue:
Hunter & Lucas eSports Club
2-195 Bentworth Ave.
Toronto, Ontario
M6A 1P6

Date: December 12th-13th
Both days, the venue will open at noon. Please aim to be there for noon so we can get started!

Map

Directions via TTC

From Yorkdale Station/Line 1 Yonge University:
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)

From Lansdowne Station/Line 2 Bloor-Danforth (Or anywhere downtown):
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).

General FAQ

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

I hear there's a secret santa going on, how do I participate?
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.

Is this event BYOC?
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.

Can I bring my own peripherals?
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.

What's the capacity?
48 players

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

How will seating work?
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.

Is there a hotel near the venue?
The nearest hotel would be the Holiday Inn - Yorkdale, which is very close to the 401, and Yorkdale Station.
