Midwest LANs and Local Players Thread

[MichaelMongrel]

I noticed two things on this forum:
1. We lack some regional LAN threads, like "Players in _______" on MLGpro.com
2. There are a lot of people on here from the midwest.

The point of this thread is post about any LANs approaching and to play with some "local" players.

*This thread is mainly for Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio.*

Post any upcoming LANs ASAP! If I could get these a month beforehand, that would be great so people can prepare to go if they'd like.

LANs:

[WiFFXI]

Great idea! I have some LANs in my area, but they are PC lans. Think they are worth mentioning?

[MichaelMongrel]

Sure. I'm not sure how many people on here game on the PC, but you never know.

[Spudskii]

YAY for Iowa! haha

[HavkinKnight]

ok well me an ITCHY live really close to each other and we are planing to get a lan together for Jan in Springfield Missouri think you can make that?

[Jakerdot]

how did Minnesota not make this list man, it's literally directly above Iowa

[heuer89]

Exactly... This list actually leaves out like half of the actual MidWest. North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin...

Ya I was really confused by the thread because it specifically does not include half the midwest which i am from

[Fir3]

IOWA FTW! Go Spudskii! ;)

[HavkinKnight]

lol i think he ment the other states are included but thoes are the states he ment it for MAINLY like the OP states.

[Smallz08]

well there are basically no actual places to LAN in Arkansas but if I decide to I could probably get a place to LAN and host one in my home town which is northwesternish part of Arkansas. I know quite a few people on here that is within reasonable distances from here that could participate. If you guys think this is a good idea I might be able to set one up in the summer.

[MichaelMongrel]

Think of it like this: Who is gonna drive or pay to go from say, Arkansas, all the way up to North Dakota just for a LAN with MAYBE a small cash prize.
The midwest is too big to be included in one thread. In fact, the midwest should be separated into two separate regions.

I guess I could add North, South Dakota, and Minnesota, but like I said, that's starting to really lengthen the gap.

Someone could post a thread for the other half of the midwest. It would make more sense to have two threads. Like I said, the region is too huge to be grouped together for this sorta thing.

[heuer89]

Regions of the U.S. -

[MichaelMongrel]

Okay, so maybe I put Arkansas in there thinking it was Midwest. Probably just because Smallz is there. But still, the sections further proves the point that it's too big to include the "East North Central" sub-region.

[MichaelMongrel]

Oh, and @Missouri guys: SmoothAsEggs (moderator on MLG forums) owns a game store/LAN center in Junction City, KS, and usually does LANs every month. If some of you guys could get out to Topeka, KS (which cuts off about an hour and 15 minutes of the drive), I could take some of you. They are usually really easy going and fun LANs. Would be a great experience to meet some of you too.
BTW, they are usually random 4s LANs. But they would be down to run some games against a set team of 4.

[namebrand]

Topeka KS checking in.

I can confirm that Smooth's LANs in Junction City, KS are ballin'. Usually a solid 16-24 people at each and usually 0 tryhards.

I live in JC and i know you pass that to go to Springfield. Add xSaLot again and we can chat about this.

[forefront]

I live in Edwardsville. :) Get at me bro! GT: TLN Forefront

[Jay2]

I'm right outside Edwardsville too. Weird.

[forefront]

This sounds promising. My new 2 bedroom townhouse with full basement in Glen Carbon sounds like the perfect place for a LAN soon. Stay tuned.

Well it should let you add me and if you get scared over a girl then we need to get you some help.

But all is well..

[iUndrground]

The main midwest states are the states that touches the great lakes. and i think also kentucky.
If u live in michigan, main lan centers are in Lansing, Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Traverse City <-- walshy lives there :)

[Antidote]

I do believe this group needs to get a lan happening.

[forefront]

Okay, so I want to have a LAN in... late February. Let me know what you all think. I may do it the first weekend of March if everyone would prefer that. We could LAN, and put March Madness games on the big screen. So, what do the midwest guys think? Last weekend of Feb, or first weekend of March?

[Antidote]

I'm down for this. Where exactly do you live?

Also if I can make it i'd prefer first week in march.

I would go to this but I am going to a concert in Indianapolis on March 11th so I am saving up for that. However I really want to go to a LAN with a ton of TLN members just to hang out and get to know one another a little bit more and just to have a ton of fun! I hope this will end up actually happening and it turns out great!

IL Gamers are da best :D!

[americanbash]

IL Gamers are da best :D!

Couldn't agree more. I would also love to be apart of any lans that are near Illinois :D

[Antidote]

Same here. I'm hoping to actually have one in Illinois though that is not so far away. Plus I travel up to Chicago a lot on the weekends so I could always go somewhere else lol.

[Cyren]

Any Michigan gamers?

2v2 coming up in early Feb!

[SaLoT]

Anyone in illinois add me GT TLN SaLoT

[STATUS]

I live in Liberty Missouri, and my teammates all live in between 10-15 minutes from me. So we're always down to LAN. And Tim, I'm trying to hit up one of Ben's LANs, but work always gets in the way. It would be nice to get to know most of the KS community that I haven't played with yet. You all should add me if you want to play sometime! GT: STATUS is seksy
