I decided to make a small blog about my experiences in the Assembly Steelseries Challenge LAN/Tournament. I'm going to include some pictures, but don’t expect any professional grade pictures. I’m not a professional photographer and I forgot my flash at home. It was actually quite a big mistake since there really wasn’t any big light sources at the LAN. It was very dark and only light source was computer screens which isn’t that great for taking pictures. I also didn't bothered to edit the pictures besides making them smaller.


Day 1

I have been in Kaapelitehdas, Helsinki many times already (They play a lot of smaller music concerts there) so I knew the layout quite well.

Assembly Winter isn’t as big as Assembly Summer but it concentrates more on games. I was very happy to see they decided to add SC2 to their game list. I think there were pro level CS:S and Team Fortress 2 games? Someone correct me if I’m wrong. I wasn’t too interested in those so I really don’t know.

There event layout looks something like this. First picture was taken right when I came to the event and second one later that evening. In both pictures the computers/tables extend even further out of the picture.

Pictures were taken from the 2nd floor which is the progaming floor where all of the pro’s played. 1st floor was full of sponsors, lan people and the main stage. As I’m talking about the main stage it looked like this.

Of course I spend almost all of my time on the 2nd floor so let’s go there. Unfortunately lighting there was even worse but I did manage to find TLO straight away. He was just about to start his games against RoX.KIS.LiveZerg. Here is few pictures from the 2nd floor with players like Tyler, TLO, Morrow, SjoW etc.

TLO’s opponent RoX.KIS.LiveZerg is right in front of him behind that wall. Next to TLO there is Empire.Kas.

TLO teddy bear spotted in the right!

[image loading]
TLO and Tyler watching few games. I think it’s HasuObs or Strelok on the left. I could be wrong thought so I’m sorry. There is also SjoW and Morrow in the background waiting for their games.

[image loading]
TLO’s first opponent RoX.KIS.LiveZerg and next to him Lions.StyGGeN.


I don’t really have any more even reasonably good pictures from the 2nd floor from Day 1 so I’m sorry. At some point I left to watch Grubby show matches that was held in the 1st floor. It was supposed to be him playing against his fans, everyday for couple of hours. 1st day every progamer wanted to take him on Here is the pictures from that.

[image loading]
Grubby playing WC3.

[image loading]
Next to him busy playing with her Iphone is his beautiful wife Cassandra.

[image loading]
Here you can actually see his opponent which is MouzNaama. Orc mirror. You can guess who won

[image loading]
His next opponent was Root.QXC and he chose SC2 as his game.

[image loading]
After QXC it was LiquidRet’s turn to take on Grubby and he brought some backup in form of LiquidHuk.

[image loading]
After that even more people came. I think you might recognize some of them


After this I went back upstairs to watch some games. I don’t really have a lot of pictures after this. I think this ended at like 20.00 or 21.00 so the rest of the time I just chilled and watch some pro’s ladder.

Day 2

After waking up I headed straight for the upstairs to watch some more games and here is what I found.

+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
Tyler and Huk watching QXC’s games. Next to him is Satiini. You can see a glimpse of Socke behind the computers.

[image loading]
TLO and ToD playing. HasuObs in the background. Not sure who the other guy is. I want to say Lalush because I know I saw Lalush in the tournament and he didn’t have his beard anymore, but the picture is quite poor It's just my only picture of ToD.

[image loading]
RoX.KiS.Pomi playing against Bischu.


I don’t have that many pictures from the upstairs just because I was kinda sleepy, hungry and mostly just wanted to watch them play. I also actually had to help Team Epsilon in one thing (Team Frotress 2 team) so I was busy. I talked to the manager of Team Epsilon and heard a lot of rumors regarding SC2 but I don’t think I should reveal them here.

When I was done upstairs I went to see some more games of Grubby playing against his fans. I didn’t really take a lot of pictures from it because I already did yesterday. But I did get one with Grubby and few of his fans

+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
That’s Grubby with LiquidTyler and LiquidTLO if someone didn’t know already. Tyler looks badass and Grubby looks tall! I’m 183cm so I would guess Grubby is something like 190cm?

Grubby was the only reason I followed the WC3 scene, Tyler/Nony is and always will be one of my all time favorite Broodwar and Starcraft 2 players and TLO is one of the latest addition to my favorite players since beta so I was very happy to take this picture


Rest of my time I spend mostly just watching some great games but here is few pics from the finals.

+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
The people next of me was Grubby, his wife, TLO and Tyler , HuK, Tarson and well pretty much every progamer in the tournament so it was fun

[image loading]
Starcraft 2 trophy’s are those bigger ones. Notice that 3rd place in Starcraft 2 gives you bigger trophy than 1st places in other games.

[image loading]
Congrats to LiquidRet! MouzMorrow played very well thought. I don’t even remember the last time I saw ZvZ finals.

I have more of these and I might add some more and edit the old ones. I'm sure the Internet is full of these pictures in a lot better quality but I just wanted to make my own blog about it.

I had a super fun time at Assembly so I'm very happy I decided to go. I got to talk with a lot of pro-gamers and I’m definitely going next year and thinking of going to some other incoming lans. I’m going to be in USA for the summer so I wonder if any MLG’s will land into that timeframe

Superb blog. So sad that I didn't go since I love cross sea in Sweden.
Sounds like you had an awesome time @ assembly.

AdelScott looks like a crazy man, Tyler looks fucking intense in the one pic with Grubby and TLO, and Ret is pretty sexy with that jacket on :D

Awesome pictures!

Nice set of pictures; thanks for sharing them with us!

I'm impressed: several of those guys are looking pretty sharp. ("Well-dressed" if that doesn't translate well for you non-English speakers.)

In the pictures where he's playing against Grubby, Ret looks like some type of mafia boss, lol.
