Perhaps the most inspiring eSports-related picture ever
It made me so proud to be an eSports fan, and so proud of all the amazing StarCraft that we've had this summer. The three big tournaments that stand out to me this summer were MLG Columbus, the NASL finals, and DreamHack Summer... I doubt many would disagree. In this surge of pride, I decided to make a wallpaper (I was getting tired of my Protoss Chrome one, I'm considering switching races anyway) that reminds me of the nerdchills that I got watching these great events. So I did some googling and looking through TL to find iconic images of the winners of these three tournaments on the main stage, then went to work combining them into a wallpaper. Now I'm not a pro graphic designer or anything, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well it turned out.
Here is the finished product:

I tried to separate the images (to make it seem less collage-y) with borders that represent the event that they won. Then I put some neat-o StarCraft font on it and set the rest of the empty space to a metallic background. It unfortunately still has a bit of a collage-y feel to it (which I guess is inevitable, as it is 3 different pictures in one background), and it if your desktop has too many icons, it can look a bit clustered... but I think it does a good job capturing the energy and excitement of these recent LAN events, as well as serving as a constant reminder of how amazing those three players are.
Like I said, I'm not super talented graphically, but I hope you guys like it, and any feedback is welcome

Notes:
-I don't really watch or follow GSL (too late/expensive), so I didn't include any of those in the desktop.
-I wish I could include Anaheim's winner as I know that that event is coming up, but I'm going to be out of town the next 2 weeks, and I think it would just add clutter anyway
