Unicon LAN Re-Opening Under New Management

Comments

	Psy^ xtreme9.uk 18:17 11/2/2004	Apparently the dudes taking over are gamers, although nobody popular. Vinny's gonna stay for a few weeks too to make sure everything goes smoothly, I think. :o [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Blitz Editor UKTerrorist 18:17 11/2/2004	(This was an automated post) According to the topic in #unicon [Quakenet], the Unicon Gaming centre may not be closing down after all. More information when we get it, but in the meantime, here's the topic set by Vinny: "UniCon.Centre Re-Opening Monday Under New Management - Watch This Space!!!!!" After the success of their last event, where most agreed that the event was run superbly, this comes as very welcome news. Thanks to Shaw for the heads up. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	silva` ForsakeN 19:21 11/2/2004	the only problem with holding a ukt event at unicon is that it will only be 8 teams, however bath did hold an event for 12 teams with the same amount of computers, but this went on into early hours of the morning! well run event at the weekend no less, gj vinny combatship and kensai-ryu!

	Mx Game Dimension Online 19:26 11/2/2004	plz dont hold ukt6 there :( [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Myers Saviour of UKT UKTerrorist 19:27 11/2/2004	I would've liked to have held a ukt event at unicon as i've heard good things about the centre and they've proven they can run an event well. However it was only an 8 team event and I would like to accomodate as many teams as possible as the demand for these events are usually twice as many as I can accept. Unfortunately we also had a couple of issues over the control of the event and finances, not a negative thing, just different goals from what we wanted from an event there. On the bright side i've been in discussions with an alternative centre that i've been extremely impressed with and i'm going up there on Saturday to (hopefully) finalise details. So expect an announcement on Sunday. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Farley quintessential 20:08 11/2/2004	UniCon for UKT! With the amount of praise for UniCon, how can the event be placed anywhere else? They have the best admins around, even when things go wrong, everything runs smoothly. And on another note, WoooooooooHooooooooo!!! UniCon is back baby! [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Farley quintessential 20:10 11/2/2004	Oh and I use 1600x1200 res and at UniCon it was perfect, so i'll be better on lower res. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Velta Professional Gamer 21:27 11/2/2004	Although it is a great place, and was run by excellent admins, due to restrictions of the amount of PC's i dont think it is capable to host an event like UKT as it can only provide two matches at a time. 8 teams look a day. 30 teams would take a few. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Shaw 21:32 11/2/2004	basically Myers likes to run the UKT events on his own... and unicon prefer to run tournaments themselves was one of the main issues :) but diff owners now i guess so up 2 new ones will have to see if new guys do tournaments too :) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Myers Saviour of UKT UKTerrorist 21:34 11/2/2004	well not run it on my own, i do appreciate help from admins etc, but i do want control of the tournament, seedings, who plays when and what map etc. Sadly UniCon also prefer the same role :) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]
	Shaw 21:37 11/2/2004	fair play to them, they can easily get 8 teams down, charge same prices as you, take all the money, and offer prizes :D who wudnt ? :) [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Cannon ImaGine 21:57 11/2/2004	maybe unicon could run a series of lans themselves as they sound like they organise stuff well and the more organised lans which arent byoc is only a good thing imo. [ Comment: Report \| IP: Logged ]

	Dev theb0g 03:51 13/2/2004	nah there's nothing wrong with running yer own tornies Vinny, and to be quite honest UniCon have hosted some of the best tornies that the UK has had. Fair enough I have only been to one LAN there but it was ran professionally and the staff were great. Good reports have come from previous LAN events there also. gl to the new owners.
