<evoli> It gets kind of irritating as the front two rows are reserved for press/vip/players, but it's a rule that isn't enforced.
<evoli> I get a hold of MLGLish and ask if we can do something.
<evoli> She contacts security and they say they'll clear it out after the game.
<evoli> They don't.
<evoli> Series ends
<evoli> and hella people get up and leave
<evoli> but everyone is 'saving' seats with bags or having their friends cover for them.
<evoli> Gets irritating.
<jenzebubble> did xeris say "I won a contest too.. by working hard"
<jenzebubble> and did his girlfriend say "They don't know who we are"
<evoli> No.
<evoli> His girlfriend didn't say that.
<evoli> He did remark on his hard work.,
<evoli> But anyway Xeris moves this bag to floor; the seat has been vacant for five minutes.
<evoli> His girlfriend sits down next to him.
<evoli> After about three minutes I go and move the bag too -- it's getting outrageous at this point.
<evoli> There are twenty or so people waiting for seats and about 700 more fans.
<evoli> So after about a minute of my sitting
<evoli> someone comes up and asks for his bag and is given it.
<evoli> After another minute a second person comes, very upset, and asks why the seats were taken.

Obviously there are a couple sides to every story. That said, Xeris has proven himself to be a douche on numerous occasions so it's hard to know what exactly the truth is.

Well, on one hand we have multiple people who have no ties of friendship to bind them saying the exact same thing about how it went down, on the other hand we have Xeris' friends saying things like "he did remark on his hard work." Yeah.

Do you not watch GSL, NASL or any other event that doesn't release replays?

And good to hear the crowd was awesome. I knew it just seemed lack luster on the stream because of the set up. I mean the entire crowd gave Boxer and MMA a standing ovation after their series and we could barely hear it.

Gotta say the wording made me laugh. Basically said 'Well he did say that yeah... BUT ANYWAY'

Haha oh god. That is the worst cover up ever. More than half a dozen people heard what he said, and he gets his friend to cover for him?

Yeah sundance is awesome, it was almost impossible to get day9's autograph because of how busy he was so I approached sundance randomly and asked if he could get it for me. He said yes and immediately took my mouse pad back to day9, got the autograph and then contacted me on twitter later that night to return the mousepad to me in the hotel lobby. It was so cool that he went so far out of his way to help out a single fan <3. He also gave his pizza to a friend of mine after overhearing how hungry he was and no I'm not kidding about that.

The crowd was amazingly loud, audible from OUTSIDE the venue when boxer was winning or making key plays (people I was with were taking smoke breaks).

I dunno what the stream did to dull it out, but I do know that if the stream noise comes specifically from only the MICS of the casters, than there's a reason it was so quiet, as day9 and wheat were in a completely separate area from the stage floor (as evident by day9 coming out of a side entrance when he said he'd come out for autographs)
