Will StarCraft 2 have a tournament? I heard about overclock watching an OCN SC2 tournament a couple weeks ago

We are considering it for an invitational for this event and a full game in our future events. We are working hard right now to make the invitational happen for this event though.

Sign a waiver, follow the rules, have fun

You are not forced to bench or participate in the LAN though. We just ask that you come in with nothing (no hardware) and leave with nothing (unless it's a prize).

FIRINMYLAZERMAN · Jun 13, 2013

Okay, I might still try and make it to this event then

I would still love to watch people benchmark hardware

Are there usually a lot of people just spectating at these kind of events, or would I possibly be one of only a few who would be spectating?

sunfireX · Jun 13, 2013

last time there were a few people spectating but the majority were participating in one event or the other.

There should be enough to make you not feel uncomfortable observing

Definitely come on by! Especially if you have an interest on benching... That is what got me hooked.

Awesomeness

I really would love to be able to play games at this event, but there are a few reasons I can't play at the moment. The first and biggest reason why I can't play is because I don't have a laptop powerful enough or small desktop I can take with me. I'm currently working on either possibly building an APU LAN rig or buying a laptop I just found for sale, but I'm not sure which route to go yet, and if I'll have the money. The second reason is because I haven't really played the games that are officially being played at this event (which to my understanding is DOTA 2, CS: GO, and TF2) so I'd probably almost indefinitely get slaughtered by most at the event

If you were to try and pickup a game to play, definitely go for TF2. It is one of the easier games and definitely the most relaxed players. CS & DOTA is serious business...

TF2 also being free is a bonus

In for just some casual gaming and hanging out with some other OCN members. If that is a possibility?
