You should be proud. Not many have the willpower to succeed against all odds. ^_^

Haha thank you for your very positive feedback ! I'm glad most of you read it in it's entirety, I was afraid the first part was too personal and might be a little boring ! But it felt good to talk about it, I couldn't tell my wife nor my parents I had taken so many risks this to watch the OSL finals, so you guys are the first to know about it.

To answer some questions :

- I mentioned the platinum mouse, but what I meant is that Jaedong could be the first one to win four OSLs. After verification, the platinum mouse requires 5 OSLs wins indeed.

- Yes the picture of Flash kissing his golden mouse is pretty good, but I had to take 6 to get a decent one. You can imagine the crowd gathered in front of the stage, and I'm quite short Nice timing allowed me to get the Pearl Tower in the background.

- There is no risk about posting the weed story here. The Ministry didn't even verify my obviously fake work certificate, I doubt they'll read TL :D

- I'm proud of being a real fan. I love this game and I am very sad to see the pro scene dying faster than expected (3 major coaches resigned and eSTRO and Woongjin probably disbanded). Please be the unshakable root of the eSports tree ! Keep playing Iccup, show your interest to the BW scene. Fans => Sponsors => Pro scene. I hope Korean Air will sponsor a team !


PS : I do not intend to sell my USB stick. Please don't PM me about it, we're not on eBay

This was a seriously awesome blog to read, felt like I was there experiencing it. I was even nervous at times even though you'd already said you'd made it there :D

BTW IIRC platinum mouse is for 5 OSLs not 4.

I suddenly feel ashamed for having backed out from taking 12hrs of train without seat number to get to Shanghai. You are a better BW fan than I am.

Great read, I feel your pain with regards to the Chinese visa system. Getting ANY visa is hard enough, let alone a coveted Z one. They hold all the power and there's really not much you can do but bend over and take it =/

Truly epic read, and reading your match recaps totally replayed the scene in my mind. And also brought back the feeling of despair when JD gave his third GG

You are a very lucky man and I am totally jealous.

That was an incredible read and man, that must have been quite a trip. Reading that I have been inspired to make plans to see the next big finals! ^_^

Epic story, you are one dedicated fan, that's for sure!

Is the Platinum mouse a real thing? Like did they invent it just incase JD would win? Or was that just fun for the story? :O

I think it is real, but I thought it was for 5 wins and Jaedong has only 3.
Dear BW Gods, it IS now autumn, so...
