Coverage screenings at a pub?

[Dan Barrett]

Hey guys,

I've just discovered that a pub round the corner from me (The Assembly House) runs regular Starcraft 2 tournament screenings - I wonder if enough of us expressed an interest, whether they would consider doing something similar for a Pro-Tour webcast? 

Shout if you're interested, and I may give them an email about PT Honolulu - the timing for that is 10 hours behind GMT, so a webcast would be 6-11pm - perfect drinking time!

I assume they run the Sarcraft tournaments because it brings in a good (although somewhat odious) crowd. I can't really see the same happening for a Magic tournament. If the pub was actually a good pub ie; good food and beer etc, then you would probably want to go there anyway rather than having a gimmick that would draw an esoteric sub-section of society to the establishment.

I think you're missing the point. We all like watching Magic, why not do it together at a drinking hole rather than at home on our computers not together?!

Because my home isn't 20 something miles away.

Okay, but there are a lot of us who do live in London just a short tube ride away. 

Y U HATIN?

I'm in favour of this. There will be a lot more video coverage next year, I'm not sure if that is good or bad wrt this.

It's ok for you because it's 'just around the corner'

I don't understand what you are trying to say.  Something not being conveniently located for you does not make it an inherently bad idea. 

[James Mills]

You know what - you're right, it's a great idea. Just trying to piss on your bonfire ;)

[Paul Hodgson]

Yeah sounds like fun - bring some games along, get the beers in :D
