Sweet!

So, they've finally announced the tournaments at Frag this year:

To get back to their roots there will be a 2vs2 QuakeWorld tourney. To please both halves of the CS crowd they are running both a 1.6 and Source tournament.

No word on anything else though, which sucks (since I don't play CS).

Maybe a Battlefield 2 tournament? I remember it being fairly popular last year at Frag, and those with limited systems can knock the resolution down.

There won't be an official BF2 tournie, but there will be an unofficial one.

*whines* I wanna goooooooo.... *grumbles about silly weddings in Edmonton a few weeks before and time off*

I'm still trying to see if I can swing it, but I haven't been working for Shaw long enough to get two weeks paid vacation heh.

Mr. Analog · May 27, 2006, 01:14:57 PM

Pfft "weddings" unless they have free booze at the reception blow 'em off (J/K).

God will probably forgive you, even if your friends don't.

So Cova and myself have been asked to be staff at this year's event. Both of us have accepted, and the details will be worked out next week. Hopefully won't eat more of our time that usual.

Mr. Analog · May 31, 2006, 11:52:59 AM

Well, last couple of years you (Melbosa) worked nearly full time so I kind of expected you guys to get asked to be staff.

Gratz and enjoy!

I have the weeks around Fraga off and I'm volunteering again, I'll be helping setup / teardown

If you wanna drink Bawls at frag this year - there is a pre-order thread going over on the official fragapalooza forums. Compusmart no-longer sells it, I don't know of anywhere else to get it except through frag. Personally - I think it's too expensive as compared to Dew Fuel (was Mt. Dew Energy) which is the same price as coke/pepsi, but the decision is yours...

Shayne · July 30, 2006, 08:47:30 PM

How was it this year? What was the big game (besides CS and WoW)?

Ustauk · July 30, 2006, 10:38:01 PM

It was great. The network worked fairly well, to the point that I saw several people playing WoW. Our group played Battlefield 2, LOTR: The Battle for Middle Earth II, Call of Duty 2, Serious Sam 2, Crashday, and Titan Quest (if I missed a game, feel free to post it). Other games I saw being played were Counterstrike (of course), Half Life 2, and Warcraft III.

Mr. Analog · July 31, 2006, 01:22:40 AM

It @%&#in' rocked again folks, this was proabaly the best run Fraga I've ever been to (4 YEARS now and counting)...

See you all there next year!
