ZAM Renovates

I headed over to Zone Adrenalan Melbourne today to check out the renovations Russell(Rustyboy) had done. Needless to say it looks pretty impressive however you probably won’t be able to tell much from the bad images I took in the Gallery sections.

Had a brief chat with rustyboy and this is what he had to say:

dice: So what made you want to change ZAM?

rusty: We renovated ZAM because we have stopped doing retail which meant we really didn’t need the middle room. There’s still a small section on the wall we’ve kept which can be used for retail but just basically wanted to open it up a bit.

dice: Did the opening of Virtual Arena (VA) have anything to do with the renovations?

rusty: Haha, no it had nothing to do with VA opening up at all. It was more to do with the fact that we’re purely designing the place for a more lan focus. The walls previously were mainly built for the retail section, and once we didn’t have the retail it didn’t make sense to keep the walls.

dice: What do you plan on putting in the middle of the room now?

rusty: At first we’ll probably put a couple of couches and a table or something like that. Maybe some black vynal stuff. I think potentially, obviously down the track sometime maybe next year sometime we might have more pc’s but I don’t think its going to be anytime soon.

dice: Do you see any Counter-Strike nationals being held here now?

rusty: Ah no I don’t. The main reason why is because firstly even if we did have computers in the middle we still wouldn’t have the layout for a national. You need 40 pc’s minimum and 5 in a row and even if we did have that, we couldn’t have the people in the middle playing the people over there [either side]. It could be done but at the moment no.
I’ve worked out that we can do a nationals but the only way to do a national is over 3 days and I dont think many people are going to want a 3 day nationals.

dice: Thanks for your time russ, can we have sponsorship now?

rusty: *shakes head and continues playing wow*
