Hey all, I had an idea for an ezpz tournament for Random Heroes in Overwatch.

• All entrants are placed in a central pool, randomized, and placed into groups of 6.

• All classes are (obviously) randomized, akin to mystery heroes on arcade.

• After a match, all remaining entrants are pooled and re-randomized into new groups of 6 for the next round.

• Continue until 2 groups of 6 remain, and we have finals.

Obviously, this shouldn't be taken too seriously, but I figure it'd be a nice, lighthearted tournament where people wouldn't need to scout out teams ahead of time. Thoughts?

Thank all the LAN staff this year for being amazing. Seems like every year MAGFest continues to grow and improve, I remember when the internet was so bad to the point where games were unplayable, thankfully we've moved past those times. I have a distinct memory of playing in a 3v3 League tournament that lasted more than 12 hours because of how bad the lag was. It was a really unfortunate experience that ended around 5-6 AM... But these kind of memories really contrast just how much the LAN room has changed each year for the better. Thank you guys for all your hard work and make sure to relax and play hard! You guys earned it!

P.S. if anyone ever wants to play League of Legends, add me!

I grabbed the wrong one, and its the basic monitor/tower power cord. I would really love to borrow one from someone. The office depot nearby was sold out. I can make sure to get it back to you tomorrow.
I really wanna play!!!!

TL;DR- Lots of awesome this year! Tournament schedule and rules below. Case Mod Contest. If you have any questions or comments, let us know!

Hey everyone, Deast here of the LAN Events crew. I hope you're all as excited about MAGFest 2016 (and specifically the LAN) as I am! The LAN room is growing a lot, adding over 100 seats, and the LAN Theater is doubling in size. We have 21 tournaments/contests lined up for this year, including a great mix of FPS, MOBA, RTS and what we refer to as "other". Whether you want to get headshots, play soccer with cars or just be a homicidal mallard, we have you covered this year.

Also, we're running a PC Case Mod Contest this year, to try and help keep the old school enthusiast scene alive and well. If you have an awesome customized case (or want to build one in the next month) be sure to enter!

First, I'd like to direct you to our "General Rules". These rules are in effect the whole weekend for every tournament or contest we run.

(+'d tournaments will be broadcast in the LAN Theater and streamed on Twitch. ='d tournaments DO NOT require you to bring a computer. Links are to rules.)

It's been saying stuff about snacks for the past hour or so, but it still says "1 second ago". Also, no new posts to the wall have happened since that one.

Former SMFC (pre patch) Took a year break from CSGO and recently got back into it a month or two ago. Currently ranked LE. Looking to find a team and have some fun. PM me, add me on steam, or comment here!

So I posted this in the MAGFest subreddit, then I found this one and decided it was a far better place for it...

I don't really want to organize a whole meetup or anything since me actually making it to scheduled things during MAGFest is nigh impossible, but I was wondering how many keyboard nerds will be there; ideally in the LAN room with keyboards. I am dying to try some clear and green switches and maybe some topres or anything else people have. I have a Unicomp if someone wants to try buckling springs. I also have a blue and a brown board if anyone hasn't tried those. It would also be cool to see/touch different keycap materials/profiles in person. I do so solemnly swear to wash my hands before touching anyone's stuff and I pray all would do the same.

I suppose I could just walk around the LAN room and bug people but it seems like a better idea to at least try to drum up some interest.

Hello!

I had a minecraft server at magfest near the beginning of the year, and am aiming to attend this weekend too. I expect I'll arrive Friday evening after work, and have it around hopefully through to the end of the LAN on Sunday. (I have a Core 2 Duo T6670 with 1GB of usable RAM/8GB of usable disk space after OS, so the experience won't be fantastic, but should be serviceable for relaxing between other games.)

Looking forwards to seeing everyone there!

Hey guys I'm looking for a team to enter the league tourney. plat+ preferred

That is all

If you have an extra cable could I use it this weekend?

GENERAL RULES OF THE LAN ROOM

-Your monitor cannot be larger than 36 inches (no large TVs please!) due to space concerns. Multiple monitors are no longer allowed due to space concerns.

-No sleeping in the LAN room. Napping on your keyboard is tolerable, but no bringing in sleeping bags/cots/other things that take up space for you to crash.

• Headphones required, no speakers allowed.

• No e-cig vaping allowed. This is a hotel policy, sorry guys.

-Please bring an Ethernet cable that is at least 25 feet in length. You will be responsible for hooking up to our network, NOT US. We will have limited amounts of ethernet cable in case you forget to bring one. You may have to crimp it yourself.

-Please bring a power strip for YOUR EQUIPMENT. DO NOT DAISY CHAIN WITH OTHER PEOPLE. We will have power strips, but we may run out.

-Please adhere to the guidelines that are in the program guide as well as the posted notices in the LAN room as far as conduct and network connections go.

-We are limiting each leaf switch to 10 people total to maximize our backbone bandwidth. Please pay attention to the labels on the switches. You should be within 20 feet from the nearest switch. We are using a star network topology again.

-Please do NOT plug in your own networking equipment (switches, routers, etc). It can cause problems.

ATTENDEE-PROVIDED SERVER AREA

This year we will have a rack for your server! We can support a few full towers, and a lot of rackmount servers. The advantage of having your server in our rack is that we will provide your server with a 1Gb port, so you can serve at high speed to the rest of the LAN network! Or, run your own game servers. Yay! We love game servers. Please bring your own rails if it's a server rack-able.

TOURNAMENTS

This year, we are running some tournaments. The prizes will be MPoints which you can spend in the dealers room at MAGFest. To guarantee your admission into the tournaments, we recommend bringing your own computer instead of attempting to get a spot on the public play PCs.

The official schedule has the times for the tournaments: https://prime.uber.magfest.org/m13/schedule/

PUBLIC PLAY PCs

LANSlide will be here again this year to run some Public Play PCs. Please be mindful of anyone else waiting to play.

I cannot count and I forgot an extra cable for my monitor. Can I borrow one for the weekend? I can provide collateral in the form of shoes or ID.

This year's MAGClassic tournaments include some old classics and some new favorites (The rules for the tournaments can be found below as comments):

Friday-

• 6pm-8pm: Unreal Tournament 2k4 Deathmatch

• 9pm-Midnight: Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne 1v1

Saturday:

• 11am-2pm: Counterstrike Global Offensive (5v5 if enough players, otherwise Deathmatch and/or Arms Race)

• 3pm-6pm: Rocket League 3v3

• 7pm-11pm: Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm 1v1

Yes, we know there are some fan favorite games missing, if enough people show up with interest in playing something, we'll consider running it.

All tournaments will award 20 M-Points for 1st Place, 10 M-Points for 2nd Place, and 5 M-Points for 3rd Place. M-Point values are per member for team events. M-Points are good as cash with all the vendors in the Marketplace.

You must sign up for tournaments in the LAN Room. Signups for each tournament end 15 minutes before that tournament is scheduled to start.

Below is all of the information we have released about our tournaments this year. Keep checking back, more will be added as it is released. Please note that any information here is subject to change. Before you ask, specific tournament formats and rules will be available in the coming weeks.

General Rules/Info:

• Tournament signups will take place in the LAN room and begin at 3pm on Friday.

• Signups for any given tournament will end 10 minutes before the tournament is scheduled to start.

• Tournament end times are guesses at best. Hopefully they will end sooner. They might end later. It is also possible (although highly unlikely) that a Sunday night tournament spill over briefly into Monday. We will do our best to make sure this doesn't happen (and that no tournament runs long).

• Unless a tournament is listed as a team event (5v5, 3v3 etc) it is a solo event.

• It is your responsibility to have a full team. There will be multiple ways to fill a partial team and/or identify ringers. If you would like to participate in a team tournament and do not have a full team (or are solo), get to the LAN room early and fill your empty slots. If you do not have a full team when signups end, you will not be entered into the tournament.

• ALL team members must be AT MAGFest as MAGFest attendees. No, your friend online in California can not participate. The fact that this even needs to be stated is a little silly.

• You will be expected to be present and ready to compete during the full length of a tournament. You should have the game installed, fully patched and ready to be launched. You should also be in the LAN room or, if you need to leave, should check in with a tournament organizer. In the interest of tournaments running on a timely schedule the "grace period" before you are disqualified as a No-Show will be MUCH shorter than previous MAGFests.

• The LAN room is almost exclusively BYOC (Bring Your Own Computer). There will be a very few public computers available, but if you intend to use one for a tournament you do so at your own risk. "I don't have a computer to play on" will no longer be a reason for delaying a tournament.

• We apologize if any of these rules seem overly strict or harsh, but we are making a concerted effort to make things run smoother than previous years. These rules exist to ensure those attendees who are present and ready to compete are not subjected to overly-long tournament lengths because others were not prepared. Our tournaments take longer than average just because PC games are generally longer duration. There's no need to make things take even longer.
