Last year's thread: /message_topic.aspx?topic=617376

I've never been to a MLG event before, but now that I've gotten into LoL I'll probably check this out this summer. Anyone been to the previous events in Raleigh; planning to go this year?

6/18/2012 3:36:41 PM

I'll be there

Starting on my neckbeard now

6/18/2012 3:38:59 PM

i'll be there among other sick nerd-ballers

6/18/2012 3:50:57 PM

that guy kinda looks like qntmfred, actually.

6/18/2012 4:10:32 PM

i kinda want to go haha.

6/18/2012 7:58:58 PM

I've been at the last 2 and will be going to this one also, probably with Golovko.

I went for a day last year and was kind of disappointed with LoL - they didn't have the screen set up, so it was just people huddling around computer monitors with no commentary. I'm sure it'll be much better this time around.

6/19/2012 5:38:50 PM

I'm going and a bunch of guys I play Starcraft II with are as well. Woot!

6/19/2012 6:44:20 PM

I'll prolly try that later today - the other day I was looking into it and it seemed like no one could find any Lowe's that were participating. I can only make it Sunday and didn't want to spend $35 for just one day.

8/24/2012 12:33:24 PM

the wave of gamers downtown from this was quite epic last year

8/24/2012 12:37:40 PM

Lol screen is up for main stream, 2ND stream not. I attempted a panoramic pic (in gallery) but it uploaded sideways, can't really tell if it is worth looking at

8/24/2012 7:53:28 PM

If anyone wants to grab me some LoL skin codes that would be awesome.

8/24/2012 7:54:19 PM

Just talked to a riot employee, looks like no riot skins I did get a full metal rammus. I'll see how many I can get of what

8/24/2012 8:44:42 PM

watching online, kinda mad about it not really working in chrome, but i guess i'll pull out IE

8/24/2012 9:22:39 PM

From what I've heard from 2 different Riot employees, the only skin this weekend will be Full Metal Rammus and the newest Sona skin will be given out at PAX Prime. No word on Riot Graves, since I know someone had mentioned him in the League of Legends thread.

8/24/2012 10:21:23 PM

How were the crowds??


Also if the mlg stream is funky for you on chrone (it works fine for me...) Just watch it on twitch

8/25/2012 12:02:28 AM

1st time I've been but Friday's crowd wasn't as big as I thought it would be. Plenty of seats still available and tons of standing room. The StarCraft II section seemed a bit more crowded than the League of Legends area though.

8/25/2012 12:17:45 AM

Yah day 1 is usually prettt slim. Id wager itll be more full tomorrow and esp sunday. All the young folks have to get out of class and school

8/25/2012 12:27:00 AM

I figured earlier in the afternoon it would be less for that exact reason but even after dinner hours it didn't pick up too much. But I figured once I arrive and park somewhere, I'm not moving my car until I leave at the end of the day.

On a another note, did anyone get the HD pass and is/can DVR the finals? I might not be able to change my work schedule and could miss the final game which would suck.

8/25/2012 12:33:39 AM

Crowds look much bigger today. It doesnt help that that hall is enormous.

8/25/2012 5:29:36 PM

the feed crapped out

8/25/2012 7:34:41 PM

i think it's done... it said "the stream will resume at 10am" for me before it went down. I assume they're going into rebroadcasts

8/25/2012 8:56:30 PM

attendance seems to be much weaker than last year's MLG. guess getting rid of Halo & Black Ops wasnt popular with Raleigh nerds?

8/26/2012 1:20:58 AM

looked good on stream, although i don't think they advertised nearly as much as last year. Loss of a console game competition in a college town probably hurt a bit tho.

8/26/2012 2:33:07 AM

it also can't be ignored the impact not having TSM and CLG there is having. They need to start charging appearance fees at these tournys lol

8/26/2012 7:02:32 PM

Shit just got real. Dig and curse disqualified for fixing the match to get curse better seedings in the regionals.

8/26/2012 8:27:35 PM

congrats to Leenock! winner of MLG summer championship!

8/26/2012 8:30:49 PM

There were some pretty fantastic sc2 games
