Last time that LAN center had a cod2 tournament it was a complete disaster. The LAN center is way to small to hold team tournaments and no one showed up. Gl with that.
Hole in the wall LAN center is what we call it.
ps. it ended being like 4 teams of 3v3, we took home the gold.
ps2. Just read your post, it appears that you either work for the LAN center or you own it, didnt mean to hurt your feelings. Just wanted to express mine. Some people drove very far to come down there.
On the other hand you guys had a somewhat good CSS tournament when the game first came out. In any case, you guys need better tables and more room.
Hi #4 we have way more systems now and better ones to allow us to hold bigger tournaments.
While we may not be a Howies Game Shack or some of the larger centers on the East or West Coast, when it comes to southeast there are almost no centers that have as many high end systems we do.
We are always growing, at some point I hope to be able move our business to a bigger location but the business has to need it first.
Yeah your system specs look very good, but you really need more room if you want to be holding large tournaments. At the minimum you need 2 matches going on at once(10 computers). Seating has to be good so 5 guys can sit next to each other and you need a few computers to run servers and backup computers as well. Not to mention making people wait out in the Florida heat is just torture.
