I don't feel that the rules are unreasonable, but I think Milkis is comfortable enough to say "no autographs" (or at least comfortable to say it to me T_T). I think its slightly the fan's responsibility to understand that they can't get there stuff signed. At NASL and Anaheim, it seemed like mostly all the fans were understanding if a player was practicing or wanted to be left alone.

Yeah, that was me at MLG Anaheim. Even though I did get lots of autographs, I had opportunities to get more but I was too nervous to ask and missed out on several I wanted to get... Like Kennigit's. :-)

Also, Milkis wouldn't sign anything for me. :-( j/k (on the frowning, not on the fact that Milkis wouldn't sign something.)

(I remember standing near you, Milkis, when someone else later asked for your autograph, and you asked "Why?" so innocently... It was amusing.)

You shouldn't hesitate, you're right. You just have to be more aware of what's going on before you ask.

People asking for autographs when we're literally about to be on stage... that may be "bold" but that's also extremely stupid IMO

Yeah I agree. If people want to ask, they should ask. The progamer has every right to just say no, but that shouldn't stop people from asking. Fans shouldn't be trying to please the players, players should be trying to please the fans. These rules seem a bit... pretentious to me. I mean, as much as we love our progamers, they are still minor celebrities at best, and I've never heard of other sportsmen/celebrities having a set of rules that you need to follow so that they might bless you with an autograph. As I said in the beginning, progamers have all the right in the world to reject an autograph request but that shouldn't stop anyone from asking them.

EDIT: Just to point out, I realise that this is etiquette rather than hard rules, but even so I disagree. It's the fan's job to do what he can to get the autograph, it's the player's job to handle it in a way he sees fit. It's not the fan's job to make being a professional sportsperson easy for the players.

I understand why they might not want to talk to people while they prepare for their games, or even for the entire tournament. I remember tyler talking about how he has a hard time enjoying fans and competing seriously at the same event. It's understandable, but fans of korean players have almost no opportunity outside of MLG to get autographs/handshakes. And individuals will always jump at opportunities no matter how bad the timing is for the player because they may simply never have the chance again

*Looks @ Naniwa*

But really, I hope more people had the chance to get stuff signed at this MLG. I know at Anaheim it was pretty tough for some of us.
