Hey guys, not sure if anyone is particularly interested, but I was incredibly lucky and managed to land a job as an MLG ref for the PC division. It was pretty much the best weekend job imaginable (I really have nothing but glowing praise for MLG), like paid vacation where my only work was to watch SC2 (and WoW) and help out.

I got to meet and speak with all the players, the MLG crew, and had the best seat in the house for watching all the games I want. And I really owe it all to the TL community, because without you guys I wouldn't even be able to go to an MLG event, let alone be paid to do it.

I want to give back somehow, and until I have a nice camera in Dallas (which I will have!) the best I can think of is offering to answer any questions you guys may have, be it how Day 9 or some of the players act in person, questions about the event, the games, players, anything, feel free to ask.

I'll try to answer all your questions (and may even try to do some by video to test out my new camera). I'd also be happy to take any suggestions as to what you guys want to see when I have my camera in Dallas.

What exactly was you job as a ref, just to point players to the right computers/opponents and to report wins and stuff

Also, did they enforce the no PS2 keyboards this time, what did the players that are sponsored by steels series use

Why didn't you update the brackets in real time? Is that a task you can personally take on in the future?

I'd also like to know this. And why aren't you putting it up at the event, like a screen for the audience to keep track of the progress of the tourney.

Offtopic: No. After I got tired of reading shitty comments in the chat, I said I would never stream again, and I don't often break my word.
