Yes halal food available there, it's some sort of a food court there

this week will feature which tournament? yeah have halal food there as well but u need to find it..thrs many stalls thr...mostly food not halal

it is the FXO Invitational Series...
anyways AC have a lot of halal food actually...
it is the most popular food court in subang after all =p

FXO Invitational Series #5 FINALS will be broadcasted that at the weekend. It's also ahead of schedule by a day, so we'll basicly get to watch it a day earlier than everyone else in the world

after watching finals, other activity also got??

after finals can go to the cyber cafe next to asia cafe to play game xD

oh yeah~ lamb chop

very near to my home. I'll try to make it..
Good job organizer!

SOMEONE PLEASE POST THIS ON TEAMLIQUID!

I'M ATTENDING! can't wait to see what it'll be like. maybe even need to go earlier to reserve VIP seats! xD

i bring taylor's kaki also

Free flow of teh O ice limau please.

Be seeing all of u there.. Support the SC2 community..

some suggestion for the organizer. fxopen might want to put on banners, set up a booth, give out brochures and free trial version of starcraft 2 cd (im pretty sure they are free...get from IAH but then it will be more convenient and easier to convince the crowd to *try out* starcraft 2 for the 1st time) or even to some extend open up an island in asia cafe for those who are interested to try the game.

Funny that its not blizzard that's doing the promo here, should've get like T-ara or SNSD to promo. Then every 1 will play starcraft as it is in korea

i'll be late though cause i got a farewell party till 10pm but i'll be there on sunday for sure... for ESPORT!

working, cant join T.T!!!!

Can the organizer give more details for this event?

Will the center stage be reserved for us or do we need to wrestle for the sitting as i recall, it is hard to get table on that wooden platform.

how many people are you guys estimating?

GLHF, go esport 4 M'sia

As long as you get there early there will be no seat issues, the real broadcast would probably start at around 7PM, I'd suggest people to come at around 6PM to get seats as it's free seating.

if it starts at 7PM,i can be there...
at first i thought it would be around noon...got weddings to attend to that sunday

sorry but hmm...

what is this FXO mamakcraft is all about?

SC2 tourney?

Watch FXOpen Invitational Series #5 Finals.

alex, we meet up there around 6pm with the gang?

Woohooo I get to see tapir finally

Malaysia's own version of Day[9]

THe projector WOULD SHOW SC2 instead of EPL???????



WOOOOWWWW

*Update:

Saturday broadcast has been cancelled due to schedule clash with a football match. So now it's a one day event on Sunday

SC2 >>>> stupid soccer footballs

DO SOMETHING TO PROVE THAT SC2 > KAKI BOLA!!!!! SHOW THEM MLG BARCRAFT!!!!

We will, eventually one day will come when we will broadcast GSL/EPL/FIS over the football matches. But right now we need your help to show that there IS a Starcraft II scene over here in malaysia.

T.T owh nooooooooooooo

back to reality football > sc2 (((

cant attend but will be rooting for you guys

no MLG recently =(
GSL is in the afternoon for the finals and since GSL changed to 2 months period, the finals wont come so fast...
IEM is in the wee hours as well lolx...

anyways show the support this time, this would encourage the others/ organizers and sooner or later it'll take over other sports for sure ^.^

by "postpone" do you mean later than 7-10 pm or totally cancelled?

dayum! D:

nooo...how do i tell unker n his wife,since they already traveled from ipoh right now

*Update:-

ITS ON AGAIN. Sorry for the confusion guys, broadcast will be going on as scheduled!

ok!!

ok lacus and me gonna come, KepalaRadio u confirm right got? D:

i skipped family dinner for this man D:

great news there! but unfortunately i can't attend today. Hoping to see some good turn out and of course good pictures

how come the event is so inconsistent ? for awhile its on and for awhile its off . = /

It's definitely on now, sorry silkworm we had some technical misunderstanding with the manager, but it's all good now!

Gg great attempt. Blame rain. Thx fxo

nice turnup rate!!! but still GG thanks to rain >.< Thanks FXO!!!

finally got the chance to meet up moar ppl....
hope this would prove to be a decent catalyst to future events...

was the guy with the checked dark blue and white shirt xD

gonna feedback abit in a moment, just got back home

the sound volume is very small for those sitting behind, schedule heavily delayed and messy works/unprofessional but overally good effort and thats what counts. first step yo. just need to improve one step by one step

Ya sorry for the set up. We turned up to the venue expecting to use their equipment.. But they decided not to let us. The rest was the community scrambling to help.. Aeco, Sapir ninjabear .. kudos to you guys for helping get equipment to make a make shift scene.

The volume was a weird problem to have... Proof that skype is not good for anything but skype

Our next event will probably showcase MLG Arena... It willb e done in the officfe, with no volume, mechanical or rain issue.

Thank you FXO for organizing such mamakcraft, I can start the feel the sense of esports in Malaysia The crowd was bigger than the usual ones, lots of unfamiliar faces i get to see today compare the usual tourney days where you see the same people all the time.

Great thanks to Alex, josh, daniel and the bunch for insisting to make this event to come up, sapir bulan brandon for the love they gave when AC boss is trying to screw them up last minute they provide the supplies and necessities for the love of starcraft 2 <3 Esp on sapir, bring whole briefcase of technical stuff and all, makes him as if he's the technical support specialist for that event lol

Big love shoutout to uncle tiram and his wife to attend this yo, even though the mamakcraft started later than it was expected to be scheduled, leaving them only few hours to stay there to get entertained plus the ugly rain and all, nevertheless thanks for coming all the way from ipoh, we love and appreciate each and every of your presence <3 Unlike some of those who stay around DJ *cough* ouch my throat hurts ahem. Drive safe under the rain, and have a good rest tonight for work tomorrow! P/S: Bring your daughter next time! We will babysit them well don't worry bout that

I don't know why I'm writing all these, but for once I feel the bond of sc2 gamers in general, so yeah with lots of heart <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Me & Lacus came abit early lol, reached the platform around 6.30 after wandering around the area looking at stuffs. This is our 1st time attending such event.

1st impression when we reached the platform lol, pardon my ignorance btw, we really have no idea who is who , all i saw was 2 worried looking guys and gal nearby wearing FxO tee's, and we looked on the platform and there wasnt any obvious seating available.

So we both kinda just approached this cheerful lookin dude lol and asked about the seating's, and was told that sadly it was kinda a free seating thingy, oh well it is normal in this kinda event imo, so we just head on and get a decent place to wait and order food

And then the hiccup came, 7pm we got abit surprised that we havent started yet after 30mins of knowing nothing, saw merry cool dude, asked about it, he politely told us about the situation and the hiccup faced, 1. Asia Cafe shitty management didnt allow them to touch their equipment 2. the setup had to be made and find last min by themself. So really, sadly such an event would be sabotaged by the venue =.= i kinda had a bad feeling when they said Asia Cafe (bad previous experience with em)

regardless, the wait was worth it! when the plays started rolling, cant believe how awsm that feeling was watching it on the screen, beats watching on the pc imo, im not a football person so i nvr really did this much, even my friend which is his 1st time attending this felt that this is something different and there is a feel to it.

then finally, when we reached the climax, zerg won 1st round and cough* OP terran won both rounds i think (props to the dude that shouted Terran OP *high fives*) divine intervention id say lmao! heavy rain.

overall id say, id gladly do this again if i could, have to thank everyone and fxo that made this happen, we wouldnt be able to experience this without u guys.

Pros:
-Awsm event out in the open air (i think we drew random crowds that were interested in it)
-Great crowd! (wish i could see ya guys again!)
-Feels good man! (terran OPEEEEEEEEEEE!)

Cons:
-Debatable venue (pls-dont-touch-our-equipment attitude from Asia Cafe. Fark them! they have really bad foods imo)
-Seating (no idea if we could had reserved a couple of tables nearby instead of camping it, but still wasnt really a huge issue)
-Awkward (we really dont know anyone, if there was seats reserved we could had mingled easier and it wont feel awkward or left out abit i guess?)

LETS DO IT AGAIN!!!

Make a proper BARcraft next time please! D:

Good attempt by FXO.
Rain unfortunately ruined the rest. Hopefully we will have something like this again in the near future

kill AC! they have weird AV system full of splitters and such. ouh and yeah sorry for the make shift speakers...theyre too cute if you can see them...and the pc did a stupid heck of not detecting the hard disk ...soo no good quality DAC to drive those small but kinda loud b****es.

And yeah, the events a good lesson for everyone to learn about organizing such events again. Lesson learnt this time around is

1) ALWAYS USE GOOD EXTENSION CORDS...the first one fried up so ran home to get a good one
2) MORE SPEAKERS!

is ur hard disk still readable now?

the external hard disk that unstable was passing to me...havent tried another external HDD but the my usb ports are working fine...maybe the sudden power outage caused corrupted usb drivers to the hard disk.. other than that my pcs working fine right now lol

awesome review btw

thank god lol, we were like oh shit he cant detect trololol. thx, hope we got another round! kill joy man the rain

hahaha what to do... unforseen circumstances... next time well try to be on time and make sure all backup equipment is ready before the event starts as so we can start on time

i think that part is understandable, since bloody Asia Cafe didnt let u guys use their equips. Its waaay better than having the event canceled lol!
