My first blog post, also it took place on Sept 1st and ALSO its my 100 post (if this counts as a post)

So just a small history about myself before i get into the crazyness.

Long time lurker till WCG USA 2009 Finals where i met Pokebunny, Micronesia and alot of progamers.
Micronesia was like dude just start posting and register so I did after that.

Fast forward almost a year later Sept 1st 2010. 100 posts later Iam going to a TL meet up. Starts off me getting off work and meeting up with Rains cuz hes cool. We go to Kinokuniya book store real quick before heading over to Dave & Busters. We get there and we got stopped by a dude at the front door, I say we are looking for the team liquid table and the guy is like lolwut? So I say people wearing the same shirt as me and he totally gets it there.

Rains and I get there and we end up having to take a second table (take our natural expo) It was awkward at first but its was cool as time went on. More people came in so we had to put together the tables and get another smaller table (put a creep tumor down to connect the bases and take the gold) I am really bad with names so I hope people post up here and say who they were with a nice description!

The night goes on we talk about alot of SC/RL stuff. I find out i could've saved Hot Bid $3500 LOL. Also now whenever i see a handshake i will now think of Shattered Hand server.
We also play a bunch of arcade games. I played a shooting game with someone but I forgot their TL username. Lilsusie is pro at basketball it seems~

Heres the group pic from my camera

+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
In this pic TLers LOL

Also iam the dude all the way to the left with the glasses kinda trying to get my face not blocked next to Micronesia
Special thanks to Lilsusie for coordinating this. I swear when she wasnt there we were like lost, even though almost all of us were from NYC.
Also Id really like to add alot of the guys who came to my facebook plz PM me if u want me to add you too also so i can tag you in that pic!!!

Haha cool. Yeah you basically covered it:

WCG USA Finals 2009:

Me: (going up to a random guy watching sc) Hi who are you on TL
Him: Oh I haven't registered but I know about TL
Me: Register and start posting
Him: Ok...

<1 year later he's involved!>

Whoa, there's photographic evidence of Micronesia now! Time to use them for an evil plot or something.

And I'm coming back to NYC tomorrow. Poor timing. I know you guys had a lot of fun!
Venture Capital is better off spent on lottery tickets rather than investing in E-Sports; you'll get a far better return. The difference is simple: Koreans are tryharding at the game, foreigners are tryharding in real-life.

Well the OP said where you stood at, so I guess that helped. I don't really know why I thought you were asian, I just always "knew" that. Maybe the name? Or the way you post (hard to explain). Thought you were filipino.

he's so white it's ridiculous, hahahahaha

To be fair, Moltke is about as white or even whiter than Micronesia and he is asian.

Plus, there is the general rule on TL of asian until proven otherwise.

However, Micro being white is pretty well-known.

What do you mean you are thinking about going? There's nothing to think about. You ARE going. Simple as that
No risk, no fun.
