To start off the alumni events activities in ICPC World Finals this year, I'll host tetris games for everyone interested to participate. Bring your laptop to the Chillzone at Marriott Boulevard Hotel tonight (Monday, 1 September) at 7pm local time.
Schedule of all alumni events activities is in https://worldfinals.icpc.global/alumni.html, subject to changes.
Format of the games is TBC, but most likely: We'll use tetr.io so that everyone with a web browser can participate (no particular console is required). Depending on logistics, one of us (most likely me) can present our screen/gameplay in a big screen/projector (if any).
See you tomorrow!
Note 1: I have been mostly playing Tetris 99, so I am not very familiar with Tetr.io. Some of you might need to help me for the technicalities (setting up a room, etc.). Since I landed in Baku, I have been familiarizing myself with Tetr.io instead of doing what I am here for ;p.
Note 2: ICPCLive will not stream alumni events. I was originally planning to livestream this activity on my own channel, but I forgot to bring my broadcasting gears. I will try to stream it nevertheless, with probably the built-in camera and microphone. It unfortunately won't be in a good quality, if there's even any livestream at all.
Clarification: Alumni events are not exclusive to alumni. They are initiated by alumni, but everyone (current participants, coaches, staffs, etc.) are allowed to participate. The more the merrier. :)
UPD: I just realized that the contestants are having the dinner at the Convention Center, not at the hotel. I'm still at the CC myself, waiting for the shuttle to move. It's very possible that the Tetris game will be delayed, waiting for more people.
I can't wait to participate!

Feel free to join, whether you are in Baku or not :)
Where are you right now? We're at chill zone but cannot find you.
We're to the right directly after the entrance to chillzone, opposite to Mortal Kombat and FIFA screens.
