PC/LAN Tournaments

This year we'll be continuing our run of PC LAN tournaments in collaboration with StreetGeek. Below you will find the tournaments we are looking to hold this year:

Team Fortress 2

Saturday 1:00pm to 4:00pm
Rating: MA15+

Dust off your hats, it’s time to pull out the mini-crits and battle to be the best team. We are glad to bring back Team Fortress 2 for its second year. The big question is whether we can beat the huge number of Cosplayers from last year.

Ready for a Zerg rush? StarCraft is back in anticipation for the sequel being released in the coming months. Sending hundreds of minions to their deaths in pursuit of ultimate victory, what's not to like?
