If you want a longer list simply google map the venue address and search nearby hotels. For people that have some $$ to dish out I recommend Opus Hotel its very nice and is a 3 minute walk from the venue.. Also its on the corner of st-laurent street where all the partys and clubs are at .. not to mention the tones of chicks in skirts hehe .. Opus Hotel also has a club attached to it that is very chill and usually holds a nice crowd. www.opushotel.com Now if you are more on budget dont fear that area is filled with hotels for cheap to mid range.. check them out the are all walking distance from the venue.. Econolodge Dowrown www.choicehotels.ca Hotel Casa Bella www.hotelcasabella.com Quality Hotel Downtown Montreal www.qualityhoteldowntownmontreal.com Hilton Garden www.hiltongardenmontreal.com If you need info about something specific around the area contact me crankypunk@mtlsf.com STREAM We are excited to finally announce the MAT VIII stream! Id like to take a minute to welcome E-Sports Championship ( ESC ) to the MAT VIII party GET HYPE ! ESC has worked with MAT last year and we are proud to welcome them again to be part of the largest Canadian East Coast tournament! A word directly from ESC: ESC Team is excited and proud to announce that we are putting our hands and efforts with MTLSF to stream MATVIII. We will be collaborating our efforts with the organizers and sponsors to bring you our first EVO qualifier in Canada. We would like to welcome all our Canadian players and our international guests in this historical moment. Please follow us on twitter(@eschamp) or our website e-Sports Championship | and stay tuned for more announcements and surprises as we get closer to the event. RULES Games & Rules --- We're very probably going to have GGAC as a side tournament and maybe even AH3 depending on numbers, but we'll discuss this and update when we'll know. Gotta disband that team NAH. Casuals for sure though, as well as any other game people want to play, if someone can bring the game/console. Will post when there are updates. If you have any questions, post here, in the Montreal match finder thread, or just ask me or BladeOfJustice7. Most of the organization was done by the MTLSF community, and we thank them for allowing us to participate in this event. So, stuff that is relevant to animu games, we take care of, for the rest, we need to talk about it with them first. Rules for BBCS are tentatively the same as always, no unlimited characters allowed, platinum banned, soft ban on training stage, but the rest is still to be discussed. Most likely going to be double elimination 2/3s and Winners/Losers/Grand finals will be 3/5. Still lots TBA, but anyways, GET HYPE! Edited June 2, 2011 by pochp
BladeOfJustice7 Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Soft ban on training stage in BB. Add that to the rules. Tournament will probably run on auto for song and stage throughout the tournament. Unless there is extreme abhorrence to this. BB and GG tournaments FOR SURE. TENTATIVE: MBAA, AH3, HnK money matches. Depends on the turnout for those games. Not enough people not enough attention from me. Simple. OPTIONAL: BB and GG money matches as well. Although Official Money Matches for those games are VERY unlikely as they already have tournaments being run for them for sure. I think that's all I have to cover, and think of. I'll add more if necessary.
pochp Posted May 4, 2011 Author Posted May 4, 2011 Updated first post with Sponsors, Prizes and various details. If anyone from the Toronto area was interested, some guys were trying to fill up a bus to come, more info in this thread : http://shoryuken.com/f248/mat-viii-part-evo-tournament-season-june-4th-5th-montreal-canada-270036/ And yeah, if there is any interest in AH3, let me know, just our regulars aren't enough for a tournament, but we could make it happen if out of towners or some non regulars from the area show interest.
X-Sapphire Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Is CS2 confirmed for this? I don't see any updates regarding this and CS2 has been released.
pochp Posted May 27, 2011 Author Posted May 27, 2011 Lol sorry for forgetting to check this thread, it's so inactive. Yes, CS2 confirmed, the tournament is run on PS3, and platinum is banned.
NerdJosh Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Not that I'm interested in CS2 but now that platinum is banned definitely a nono. I'm down for some GG though, haven't played that game since last montreal trip!
pochp Posted June 3, 2011 Author Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) Eh, sry, tourney's on PS3 and she was only released on PSN, yesterday? Kind of unfair, we weren't even sure if she'd be released or not, so we decided to play it safe. She'll still be available on consoles if you want to do some casuals/MMs. Also, we'll have at least a GG setup kinda early if you want to warm up Edited June 3, 2011 by pochp
