So our next event is only one month away! We're continuing our work to bring you the best damn LAN party around. As such we have some things to announce.


First, S2 Games is returning as a sponsor. S2 Games will be sponsoring the Heroes of Newerth tournament once again. Thanks for helping us out again S2!

Second, we have updated the prizing for the tournaments.

Team Fortress 2:
15 Pledges - $120 for 1st place
30 Pledges - $300 for 1st place

Heroes of Newerth:
$300 for 1st place. This prize pot does not stagger this event.

Starcraft 2:
15 Pledges - $80 for 1st place
30 Pledges - $170 for 1st place


Please be advised that only those who prepay can pledge, and pledging does not cost anything beyond prepaying. Prizing is determined by pledges. Also remember that prepaying is cheaper than paying at the door.

Hope to see you there! - www.lanified.com

I'm curious as to why the tourny format for HoN is 3v3 and not 5v5.

[Bizzyb0nez]

The lan isnt big enough to support 5v5 play. my 2c

I'm curious as to why the tourny format for HoN is 3v3 and not 5v5.

The event capacity is 36 (we are double checking our numbers, might be 40) and as such if we have EVERYONE playing HoN that would be a maximum of 7 teams in 5v5. However if it were a 3v3 that would be 12 teams.

More likely is that about half or so of the people coming will enter the HoN tournament (these stats are not yet proven). As such in a 5v5 tournament with 18 people participating that's only 3.6 teams. In a 3v3 tournament that's 6 teams.

Considering the size, and observations from our last event, a 3v3 tournament will result in a more enjoyable tournament by all. This is due to there being more teams, and in turn more matches.

I'm definitely interested, but I have nobody I know in Calgary who would also be interested. Is there space in these tourneys for ringers/solos who get picked up? Or is anyone else interested in perhaps forming a team?

Anyway, I missed the last one, even though I saw the ads everywhere around campus and I would like to make up for that.

There will be plenty of people forming teams at the event. I'm sure you'll find someone! Also, I know there will be games of HoN going on between tournaments too.

Our seventh event, Down Right Fierce, is only 15 days away!

As such we want to notify everyone that prepayment will CLOSE one week from now. Specifically, we will close prepayment around about Midnight Friday the 10th of August 2010. Signups will still work past this, but you will be unable to prepay beyond this time.

If you are having technical difficulties we can work with you to help your situation. As such please contact us if you are having difficulties with our site, paypal or any step of the prepayment process and we will gladly help you out.

If you are planning on coming we ask that you prepay. It offers you plenty of things such as a guaranteed seat, and the ability to influence prizing for tournaments, as well as other things. It also offers us and our sponsors things such as knowing how many are coming, and how many want to enter each tournament. Furthermore it actually enables us to hold the event. As such we really appreciate those who prepay and would like to mention that every single person who prepaid at our last event, showed up!

Additionally, we now have a poster for the event! We have put up a lot at MRU and UofC, but if you want to check it out and pass it along you can access it at:

Also, for those who made it to our last event, we will be having the concession stand again! Once again hot fresh food will be served at our event.

If you have any questions or comments please head over to our forums and let us know what you think.

Wish I could delete my own post.

The HoN and SC2 tournament rules have been updated, to check out the details head to: http://www.lanified.com/news/browse

Holy crap, so much is going on!

First, we have now exceeded our record of 18 prepays. As of this posting we have 21 prepays! In response we have adjusted how the prepays and attendance info is shown a bit.

As an additional reminder, prepay closes today (Friday the 10th) at midnight. Keep in mind that we guarantee seats for those who prepay, but those who sign up are at risk of not having a seat if we hit capacity at the time of the event. If you want to secure your seat then prepay today! Once you have prepaid, make sure to pledge for the tournaments you want to enter.


Second, I pulled all my hairs out and finally coughed up the tournament schedule. Details are available at http://www.lanified.com 's front page.

PLEASE NOTE: Registration for each tournament will occur AT the event. We will be calling for registration leading up to the tournament, so make sure you are present in advance of any tournament you want to enter to ensure you get registered! You must also be present for each and every match otherwise your team risks forfeiting the match (but not the tournament).


Third, we properly updated the Team Fortress 2 rules to reflect the actual way it will play. Somehow this was missed before. Details are available at http://www.lanified.com 's front page.



Boy are we excited to get this event under way! Hope to see you there!
