I've been to quite a few TL Events this year, from the tentative peek-in to a little LAN center in K-town manhattan (where I first found the love of Kalbi) to the gigantic mess of people that was the latest Cybercraft tourney, From getting my ass kicked in Brood War to showing up at 3 AM in one of the furthest spots from where I live in the city for a GSL Finals party.
I absolutely love Starcraft, in fact, I love it to the point of going to of attending 12 of 13 of the events that happened here in NYC since my first. I love it so much that the often thrown around flamebait of "Which is better, BW or SC2?" is pretty much answered like "Which is better, Cake or Pie?". They're both fucking delicious (though I have a softer spot in my heart for both BW and Cake)
Through this love, I've met a decently large number of awesome people, and I'm afraid to try and list them, because I'll definitely forget one or two (because I'm that much of a klutz). To all of you out there in the NYC Starcraft scene, I thank you all for showing me such an awesome time.
Here's to many more wonderful events in the community in the future (and maybe some actual BW Events! :D)
EDIT: clarified something and fixed the event count. forgot IEM. XD
