Heart of the Swarm

Written by TheInfamousHOSS Sunday, 1 May 2011 09:16

After the success and fun of the first one and due to the fact I gave out free entry to a future AuckLAN as prizes at AuckLAN 1, I have decided to do it once more. So without further ado, it gives me great pleasure to announce AuckLAN #2 (2011) which will be held at the EchoLAN LAN Studio. This will be the second and final AuckLAN so don’t miss out!

Dates/times: Friday June 17th @ 7pm – Sunday June 19th @ 1pm

Location: B4/9 Tait Place, Rosedale, North Shore City

AuckLAN is R18 due to being BYO drinks. Anyone under 18 will be denied entry regardless of whether they’ve prepaid.

Ticket pricing:
* nzGN entry – $15 (nzGN members as specified by yourself)
* Public entry – $25 (all other attendees from the public)
* Door sales – $30 (or $20 if an nzGN member)

We will be running 2 tournaments:
* FPS marathon consisting of CounterStrike Source, Team Fortress 2 and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Please note: the FPS marathon will be a one-off and kept separate from the ongoing FPS marathon Ladder held at normal EchoLANs. Signups upon arrival at the LAN.
* Day of Defeat Source tournament. Team size and format to be decided based on sign ups. Signups upon arrival at the LAN.

There will be a prize for the winner of the FPS marathon and slightly smaller prizes for each member in the winning DOD:S tournament team.

2:00pm DOD:S tournament (round robin) team size to be decided based on signups followed by a prizegiving

Sunday:

nzGN members and earliest prepays will get preference if sales get close to capacity.

AuckLAN is NOT invite-only, it IS open to the public but bear in mind it is run by nzGN for nzGN so our games, schedule, etc.. will be with nzGN in mind.
