EPTGetting there friday and meeting up with all my friends traveling from all over socal and norcal was nice because I could tell them the landmark that I was by... the ridiculously long line outside the convention center. We didn't get inside until about 2 which was unfortunate but that's what happens when such an epic event is taking place.
First thing we do inside is grab a Dr Pepper of which they were serving out free of charge the entire weekend! Next to that Dignitas were signing autographs so we took a few pictures real fast and headed quick to the open bracket area since we knew how many sick players were competing these year.
Right away a huge crowd is behind only one section of the open area, go figure it's MVP, Boxer, DRG and MMA. Great way to start off the day. After they were done warming out I get there attention with a Korean "excuse me!" And successfully snagged a picture, some video and some autographs!

"Korean Players FIghting!"
Later also signd by jessica, ganzi, select, DRG all except the elusive Boxer.
In between games we'd go exploring and check out the open bracket area to see if anyone notable was playing. We also managed to find someone we were wanting to watch so that was really nice. The main open bracket Alienware stage was nifty, since there were TVs above their monitors so it made for easy spectating.
Eventually we see Idra in the open bracket area and I decide to show him the back of my sign which read "IDRA OR GTFO." I got him to sign it and smile reading it!

The next day I met up with the CSL group and was able to meet the team captain of the school im attending in the fall which was good. Also met with Tim, you might of seen his Esports aviators post. =P
Well I'm a terrible writer so I'll just redirect anyone who's reading this to my short edit of some of the footage I got over the weekend! Enjoy!
