Hey all,
This is just a quick reminder about the LAN this Friday.
Final price has been decided as 30! So just an extra 10 for all of you who have paid your deposits already.
It starts this Friday at 6pm, and finishes up on Sunday at 6pm, but you can come along pretty much whenever.
You'll need to remember to bring the following: -Whatever you're playing games on (PC/Console) -A monitor/TV -An extension cable (Please don't forget one of these) -An Ethernet cable (Again, don't forget this) -Money to pay for the LAN (10 if you have paid your deposit, 30 if you haven't) -Food, drinks, more money for more food, etc. -Sleeping equipment (You know yourself, sleeping bags, duvets, blankets, pillows etc.) if you feel like you're gonna want a nap or two throughout the 48 hours.
We'll be in the Venue this weekend. For those of you who don't know where it is, just go into DCU through the Ballymun Road entrance and keep going until you get to the roundabout, and it's in the building to the left (The Hub, where you can see the beer garden for the NuBar). We'll put signs up, or something and you can view the map at this link: http://games.dcu.ie/48LAN2015/Map.png
Now, onto tournaments.
We'll be having eight tournaments this year. Five on PC, three on consoles. We will also be running our King Of Gamessoc event over the 48 hours so there'll be a few mini-games/challenges for that!
The PC tournaments are: (1 v 1) League of Legends Warsow Worms Armageddon Age Of Mythology CS:S 5-a-side (de_dust2)
The Console tournaments are: Super Smash Wii U Mario Kart 8 Mortal Kombat X
For those of you who missed the announcements of prize sponsorship, we have a G303 Daedalus Gaming Mouse for the 1st place winners of the League Of Legends, Warsow and Age Of Mythology Tournaments. All other prizes will be displayed as you arrive on Friday. Want a closer look at the specs of these awesome mice? Check out this link! http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/gaming-mouse-g303
A VERY ROUGH timetable for the tournaments can be seen here: http://games.dcu.ie/48LAN2015/Timetable%20for%20Tourneys.pdf This is just a rough estimate of when we plan to run the tourneys, but we'll be playing it by ear on the day, of what suits people best, taking into account if any tourneys are delayed or run longer than estimated so trust me, these times are not set in stone.
If you don't own copies of the games, don't worry, we can sort that out.
Also, we will be having a raffle for this super awesome G910 Orion Spark Mechanical Gaming Keyboard!! Click the link! (Seriously, check this out!) http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/rgb-gaming-keyboard-g910
You can buy a ticket for 50c or a line (five tickets) for 2.
We'll also have a few Cineworld Passes and Extravision Vouchers going as spot prizes too!
We'll have a place set up for peeps to nap, so don't forget your sleeping stuff and the building of forts is more than welcome. Encouraged even.
When you arrive come find any member of the committee (if you don't know who we are, don't worry! Just ask around, we don't bite, promise) and they'll send you in the right direction to pay in and get you settled. We'll be keeping an eye out for everyone anyway!
Haven't paid your deposit or emailed in? Have a few friends who are still interested but haven't signed up? Don't worry! Just arrive on the day and we'll get you all signed in.
Any questions or queries, feel free to reply to this email. See you this weekend!
Regards,
Hazel Egan Trips & Events Officer DCU Games Society
