xLan 2011

[massi4h]

Date for the console tournament is 23/24 July (thanks to quick organising from Rory/Sami, now it doesn't clash with nationals). Also there is another announcement coming today. The main website in www.on3network.co.nz

This year it is separated from the PC tournament which is happening on 1/2/3 July. PC xLan is $95 and the thing is, if you buy a PC ticket you get free entry to the console event. I assume the console event by itself will be much cheaper, but they are sorting that out atm.

Venue is being decided on, they are currently looking at Caprica, Giga and the Bruce Mason Centre.

Currently on the list of potential games are:

- Halo:Reach
- Call of Duty:Black Ops
- Tekken 6
- Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition
- Marvel vs. Capcom 3
- Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock

And possibly MK9.

Show some interest here guys on who's keen to come (last 2 years were awesome) and what games you'd like to play. Remember SSF4:AE will be out by then.

xLan is essentially the only "major" we have other than nationals and south regionals.

Also I forgot to mention that Tekken 6 will most likely be a WCG qualifier this year and if any other fighting games get picked up by WCG (they haven't finished announcing) then they will most likely get picked up.

nats are 16/17 of july so no xlan sorry

[massi4h]

fuck fuck fuck. Any chance of changing it? I really don't wanna decide between nats and a WCG qualifier if GH:WoR gets in...

[Rorooze]

We set the date for nats a long time ago :/ And I think there are people who have already booked their tickets (munta?)

[Rorooze]

BTW I don't know if you have been to Giga recently but there is even less room now then there was before.

[[NIUE] B1ackstar Ninja]

well in your case youd be silly to not go to the wcg thing cos your probably gunna win .
17th is just casuals anyway , 16th is the whole tourny

clash of the titans

[HoneyBadger]

Tell them you wont play Guitar Hero unless they have MVC3 and AE

[Rorooze]

mason i'm at work but do you know the organisers email? can't go hunting for it atm.

[Pinolicious]

Do the TZ tekken players turn up for the T6?

[zos'la]

last year a few did for tekken.

[HoneyBadger]

Only Jamie turned up last year from TZ. You can kind of count Andy Wong but he'd rather play SF than tekken.

[massi4h]

Check your inbox Rory.

Yeah I came 3rd at Tekken lol, though we've always had a good SSF4 turnout. Tbh Andy was much more of a Tekken player back then.

[HoneyBadger]

No. He went to xlan specifically to play Street Fighter lol.
