EPTIt stars with me and my roommate trying to get to the semifinals of the "StarsWar Gigabyte tournament" in Shanghai. I was looking where it was and even thou we know a little bit of 汉语 I was having a hard time trying to get to know the location but finally thanks to Google Chrome browser we translated a page and we discovered it was at "Super Brand Mall" and the matchs of SC2 where going to be at 18:40 and at that time it was 4 o'clock so we had plenty of time.
11/06 "Semi-Finals!"
18:00...

We are at the main entrence where the tournament is held of, we ask a guard if we can come in and he says "没有票" that it means "No more tickets" and we are like... O.O' "its not free???" so we took a step back and saw how a buch of chinese guy approach the police say something then go back near an exit, we were going to go when we turn around and saw these guys giving the guard some money and then he letting them pass... We where like WTF!!! so we did the reasonable thing... the negotiations keep going even I showed my camera to make him think i have photos of him accepting the money and then...
18:20

We waited and when the guard was alone we start saying in chinese "Hey let us go in... we watch" (we said in a double sense because we wanted to mean that we want to go inside and take a look but we want him to know that we watch those guy giving him money :^P) so we keep talking...

the match was about to start or at least that what we suppose since we didn't get in 
The guard told us to come the next day and we might see the final... so we where going down the stairs when i saw a girl with a gaffet of the tournament coming our way, so I said why not, lets say hello and give it a try and maybe she can let us in, after all we are handsome foreigners B^D She tell us that today we can go in so we should call here tomorrow and she will get us in...
We are like no way this will happen but at least we must give it a try :^)

"Hey here are two tickets for 10 rmb each (1.5 USD)" That was a random guy, we didn't know what to do and it looks like this is our last chance to make it on time, so we bought the tickets.
And we are IN... again so I tell my roommate lets try to get to the VIP seccion again, we arrive and the guard said where's your pass and I give him the cool look ?B^D and he laugh and let us in AGAIN! so we where there waiting and then a guy takes a picture of us and ask us if he can make us an interview... we're like... ^.^ yeah why not then another guy tell us if we know english and we're like "Of course" B^D it was just a line but still why not right?
