The reason I ask is because I was trying to find all the pictures of my lanning adventures for saving. In particular, if anyone has the pictures of the winners of the DoTA tournament I would love to get them. I'm trying to remember what party it was, but the prizes for CS and DoTA at this one were $2500 for the team if that helps.

It makes sense if you don't feel like uploading so many pictures again or if they are indeed lost forever, but I would greatly appreciate having the pictures I mentioned before if you are able to PM them to me or something.

PS-Sorry about the lousy turnouts at your Murray location I tried to make it to as many parties there as I could. I for one blame the utter lack of quality games to play on a LAN connection compared to what was coming out in the early part of the decade for the drop in interest in lans.]]>

With that said we have always done 2v2 tournaments. 1v1 is fine but I bet you would get a much better turnout for it if you did 2v2. I might actually be able to get all the Fancy Lads to come out to this one if you did. Otherwise I don't know if I can pull them away from there stupid MMO's ]]>
