This Time For Real

Versus Gaming will be hosting their 3rd SC2 Tournament this Saturday, March 19th.  Details can be found in the above advertisement.  Also, notice there that will be free pizza!  Hopefully no one tried to go last week as this tournament was postponed due to the Neumont tournament (thank you Versus)!  So, be there early to ensure a spot and bring your keyboard/mouse if you would like.

Pce!

Thank you Mr. Anonymous for posting the results of this tournament.  I had to privilege of attending this event, even though I did not participate.  I was the dork walking around with the black hoody sweatshirt.  It was an awesome event and it was good to see a decent amount of people.  Obviously, we'd like to see more in attendance, so if you weren't able to make this event, we'd love to see you at future tournaments.  A big thanks to Neumont for providing such a great venue!  Also, thanks to all those that helped run the tournament and to Sonde for his 1-man shoutcasting.  Congratulations goes out to NadaViking for coming out on top and taking home some cash!

All Good Things Come In Two's

***EDIT:  THIS TOURNAMENT HAS CHANGED FROM MARCH 12TH TO MARCH 19TH DUE TO THE CONFLICT WITH THE NEUMONT UNIVERSITY TOURNAMENT.  PLEASE MAKE NOTE OF THIS!!!!***

 So, this is my 2nd post today, but I am not complaining.  Versus Gaming will be hosting another SC2 tournament this Saturday.  Details are provided in the ad above.  Unfortunately, it's the same day as the Neumont University BYOC tournament.  So, you now face a decision:  Versus vs. Neumont.

Both provide Xbox's to play on.  Both provide hours of fun with like-minded people.  Both involve food and drinks (one free, one not).  Both are Saturday, March 12th.  Both have cash prize pools.  One is only 1v1, the other is both 1v1 and 2v2.  One costs $20, but computers and equipment are provided.  The other costs $5, but is a BYOC (bring your own computer/equipment).  One is in Provo, the other in South Jordan.  One will have live casting (Neumont), the other will not (Versus).

Unfortunately, you can't have your cake and eat it too!  It's a tough decision, almost like deciding between a Ferrari and a Lamborghini.  Both are excellent, but only one fits your style.  So, which will it be?

Either way, we hope to see you all out supporting SC2 in Utah.  Great things are on the horizon, so please, free up your Saturday afternoon and get out and support the gaming community.  I've said it before, but the more interest we have from players, the more interest we'll have from sponsors.  Sponsors = prizes.  Prizes = more players.  More players = more sponsors.  And the cycle continues.  Kind of like Lion King - it's the Circle of Life (but in a Geek kind of way and so much cooler).

UVU Tournament w/ Free Food, Casting, Prizes

Students at UVU in conjunction with the UVU Anime Club are proud to announce their Starcraft 2 Tournament event held March 31, 2011.  Check in and free game play begins at 6:00 p.m. and the tournament officially starts at 7:00 p.m.  There will be a $2 entry fee as well as a $2 tournament fee.  1st place prize is straight up cash as well as a Blizzcon Deathwing Statue.  The tournament will be played at the Student Center, Room SC206A-B.  Parking will be free after 7:00 p.m. so plan accordingly.  Free food as well  (woot! woot!)
Computers and equipment will be provided, but if you feel it necessary to bring your own keyboard, mouse, headphones, etc. please do so!  You will need to have a battle.net account so that you can play on your own account.

Hope to have an excellent turnout and good luck to all.

Friday Night All-Nighter @ Versus - Free Pizza!!!

Come and enjoy games all night and pretty much all morning!  Friday, February 25th!!!  Thank You Versus!

Yup, as simple as that.  So, if you're wanting to practice with some locals, chat it up with your next door neighbor, challenge any of our top players found here, or even host a small tournament, feel free to use it!
