We are pleased to announce that we have secured a fantastic venue for this year’s LAN Downunder. The LAN will be taking place at Genesis Internet Café at 15 Sutherland Street in Melbourne CBD. (Please note, there are two different stores with the same name.) The venue is a 10 minute walk from Flinders Street station, and 3 minutes from Melbourne Central station.
The event will kick off July 6th and will run throughout the weekend. The tournament will kick off with a round-robin group stage, followed by a sudden-death single-elimination bracket, bound to be filled with upsets and fast-paced action. The event will not be BYOC, with computers provided for all players.
Signups for those wishing to compete are now open, teams of all skill levels are welcome! Signups will be open until the 22nd June. It will cost $60 to attend for the two days, or $2 to spectate. Those playing will have the use of one PC for the duration of the LAN. You can register here: https://smash.gg/LAN
We are currently working with multiple sponsors to secure the best prize pool possible for the LAN. At this time we have secured sponsorship from MyRepublic NZ, who offer high speed broadband and are an award-winning broadband provider. Information regarding further sponsorships will be announced when appropriate.
Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you at the LAN Downunder 2019!
