The Swedish have their Dreamhack and Optihack, but a week from today the second largest yearly SC tournament in Canada, second only to WCG Canada, the TFL WinterFrag 2004 will be held!
This year TFL (Toronto Fun League) has teamed up with the International Academy of Design & Technology along with other sponsors to host the biggest LAN tournament ever in Toronto, Canada. This event will be held from Friday Decemeber 17th 3pm to Sunday December 19th 5pm. The event venue will be the CBC/IOAD building downtown Toronto only a few blocks away from the CN Tower and the Skydome.
The registration fees are as follows:
$25 CDN early registrations | $35 CDN door | Spectators FREE
There is also a fee to register for the premium tournaments which is $15 CDN meaning if you register early it will cost $40 CDN and at the door will be $50 CDN. As always specators will get in free and be able to watch all the games that will be going on.
