Welcome to VOIDSTATE - GamerCon and LANDiego's BYOC LAN Event!

GamerCon and LANDiego Present VOIDSTATE. Held at the Historic Tenth Avenue Arts Center in Downtown, VOIDSTATE will take over the main stage to bring 14 hours of LAN Party madness to our San Diego PC Gaming fans! Bring your clan out to challenge fellow gamers or even test yourself against our Admin team.

VOIDSTATE is a classic LAN (local area network) Party, focused on PC Gaming. We split our main stage into two main areas. Our BYOC area features 40 seats and is for gamers who want to bring their own rigs or BYOC (Bring Your Own Computer). Our Rental area features 18 Computers which can be reserved or rented for the duration of the event, for those who don't want to drag out their rigs. VOIDSTATE features tournaments in several games over the course of the event.

Please be sure to enable virus protection on your computer before connecting it to our network. Any computers that are found with a virus will be immediately disconnected from the network until the matter is resolved. We would also like to remind everyone that there is absolutely NO personal network equipment allowed (Switches, routers, WiFi AP’s, etc).

--- Security Information ---

GamerCon’s Headquarters is in downtown San Diego, just a short walk away from the Gas Lamp District and the rest of San Diego's nightlife. To make sure our events are secure we monitor the Lobby and allow loading between 12pm and 3pm for VOIDSTATE. After 3pm the Lobby doors are closed. Don’t worry, if you need to arrive later you can contact us through Facebook Messenger.

As you enter the Main Stage you will see Central Administration. We will take a few moments to check you in and verify what equipment you are bringing in. We will mainly focus on quick details, such as your Computer and Monitor. You can come and go as you'd like, but when you plan to leave be sure to check out with Central Administration, as well.

While we will make every attempt to keep all equipment in the room safe, please be aware that there is little we can do to prevent phones, tablets, portable game consoles, CD's, wads of cash, and other small items from walking off. We strongly suggest you keep such items out of plain view and use some common sense when it comes to your own security. If you're coming with a laptop, we also STRONGLY recommend you invest in a laptop lock. Seriously.

--- Voice Chat Information ---

We will have the official VOIDSTATE Discord server available for tournaments and public gaming. While we will have the clients available on our file server, it is recommended that you download and install Discord before you come to the event. You can download the client https://discordapp.com/

-- Twitch Streaming --

The official GamerCon Twitch Channel will be live during VOIDSTATE. We will be streaming the Main tournament, and side tournaments when applicable. We recommend you follow the GamerConSD channel, as well as some of our GamerCon family streamers.

As we will be streaming this event, we would like to invite you to observe the upload cap during the event, and please refrain from live streaming from your personal computers.
