i definitely want lan pics and more details :D would any DC teams be interested in coming up to northern IL for another DC tourney? :D

Could i get a sticky for this? :D

all of you midwesterners HAVE to come to Zion LAN 2005!! 400 seats, 54 hours of gaming, $16,000 in prizes, and its all for a good cause - 100% of all net proceeds are being donated to help people with mental and developmental disabilities. With an ultrafast gigabit backbone network...
