---EDIT---

Hey Guys!
Unfortunately, March 16th and March 23rd just don't look like they are going to work.

A little more detail:
- We contacted many great venues. Some were available during those dates and things looked very promising.
- One of the venues really impressed us and was our number one selection. The prices appeared to be workable.
- After recieveing the quotes from their exclusive AV company, it no longer looks doable. For reference, the AV would have cost 7 times more than our last event. It would have blown our budget.

So what's next?
- We are planning on an even larger upcoming event with $15,000 in prizing. We will have the venue and pricing secured before posting an interest thread this time :)
- We are working with eSportsCanada to setup MONTHLY online tournaments. We hope our first event will be in March. More news to come.

To say sorry...
- We know many of you were as excited about this possible event as we were. We put a lot of work into it already and it always sucks when you have to come to terms with it not coming to frutition (for now). So, we will be randomly giving out $1,500 (15 x $100) in paypal prizes to people who voted in the poll in this thread before the time of this post. We are just doing the DB pull now. Winners will be announced shortly.

Check here to see if you won one of the conoslation prizes.

Sorry again guys. Our next one will be bigger and better than ever.

------------------------------------

We are looking to bring it back again :) If you had fun at our last Grand Champion Series event in Toronto, we think you will love this one! We are looking at gauging interest at this point - please vote accordingly. If you only think you can attend, please don't vote until you know.

Well I attended the last two events. I don't see why I would want to miss out on this one.

I know I'm in the minority here but I vote for MW3.

Suggestions:

LN2 Cooking Heck yeah! I still have a business card from them last time, they were awesome!
Good internet! with a local cache (so we can read OCN in relative ease, and the same patch isn't downloaded 20x) - this will help keep the internet clear for uploads/streams
LAN Vs. abroad (some of our community are not going to be able to attend for legitimate distance issues, so lets bring the party to them, using our OCN game servers, etc

)

LAN Games:
Counter Strike Source (sorry, not a fan of GO)
League of Legends (more then Mario Kart this time please!)
TF2

Pickups:
Minecraft
L4D (1&/2)
DayZ
PlanetSide 2? (need bandwidth)
etc.
