Hi Guys!
I need some expert info what do you need at least to be able to have a Gathering for 32players
(I mean the WiFi/Internet requirements)
I've only seen firesides an hour away from me. Shame.
I'm glad they're giving non-streamers the chance to compete for Blizzard's sponsored tournaments.

I live near this bar. I should ask the owner if I could host a fireside gathering there.
Tomorrow i will attend my first FireSide in Rome..hype :D
I live right next to a Buffalo Wild Wings. Am I obligated to host a fireside gathering now?
Do you happen to be a fellow TAC listener?
I can host a Fireside Gathering for the Washington DC area.
Hosted two times last year, but no more than 10 people showed up. Hearthstone players have no friends or don't like leaving the house
Hopefully we can reach 16 players.
the problem is youre not allowerd to do an online qualifier, so its really tough to have 16 save spots for your tournament.
problem is the tourney must be open to everyone. if they dont change the rules firesides are impossible to organize
Please make one in the Niagara region in Ontario, I'm tired of them always being in Toronto.
I'm not gonna drive 2 hours to play a game on my phone.
oh my god, i dont even live that far away but i really hate travelling to downtown Toronto >.<
Let's hope one comes back to London!
i'm not sure blizzard even knows the uk exists
I'm from London too... I hope to see you guys
Why hope? Go host your own event.
