Yesterday, we had a very nice meeting with a lot of people from TeamLiquid and a ton of players, who are participating at several tournaments at gamescom. At 20:00 CEST, around 100 people gathered at the south exit of gamescom to be guided by NarutO to the venue (a mexican interview which name I already forgot). While some people already left after 1,2 hours, many of them stayed until midnight and even later (props to TotalBiscuit, White-Ra and folks ;D ).
I saw a couple of people taking pictures and videos, so I hope they will upload their stuff here so I can put it into the OP.
Huge props going out to NarutO for organizing everything and finding a location where he could book over 100 seats. Thanks to everyone for showing up to make the time even more enjoyable. Thanks to the players for being so nice and friendly, taking pictures with people and signing stuff for all the people.
Last but not least, thanks to TotalBiscuit for the Sangria and the amazing interview we did later. Dude, you rock! Looking forward to see all of you tonight at the ESL player party.
Video:
Sorry for the shackiness, I filmed everything with my mobile phone and I'm not a good filmer

Moonglade, just priceless
TB and Kelly

Unfortunately I couldn't make any more pictures at this time as my battery was running low.

how about coming over on sunday? its the grand finals, so we need everyone from the netherlands to raise the atmosphere
Thanks for the pics and video! I can clearly see that back of my head in the movie, does that mean I'm e-famous now?
That was an absolutely epic event. If you missed out, you definately need to make it next year. There's nothing more thrilling than spending an evening drinking with a hundred other people that love what you love. I didn't meet a single person there who wasn't just bitching fun to hang out with.
I know the title is supposed to be a frigging joke, but I think this stupid meme has run it's course.
Getting really sick and tired of the same old crap.
With that said, we keep meeting at bars. It would be nice to meetup at a beach or somewhere else next time because sitting down with your cronies isn't really the same thing. Lots of chair hopping. Need more standing room to move around D:
I've been around since ~1am. I'm so pissed. A guy came to our table, because there was a seat left. He ordered food, 2 cokes and 2 beers and left without paying when people started to walk around and to to each other. -.-
But in general it was a really fun evening. Pretty epic, had a good time. I will totally be there again next year. :D

Yeah, the pay-system was actually not the best since it was table based and a lot of people changed tables during the evening...
camera battery died somehow so i got no pics but i got a bit of footage with my own camera which can be viewed at fragster (click here)i will upload it at youtube overnight too, but atm i need the bandwith... i wish i had the same upload as in cologne at the gamescom ^^
Hahah the first two people on the video are me and the Mrs. :D
I still laugh hard at what happened when we're travelling to the restaurent... and its gonna be one of those things that you 'just gotta be there' to get... but....
Justin aka TheGunrun yells OK TEAM LIQUID GO LEFT! - and points right - and White-Ra responds Yes Special Tactics left... aka Right
