Apologies ahead of time for my using a shitty camera that I've never used before lol. You may see lighting variations and some blurriness as I get used to using this weird machine whilst trying to not spam flash (as it can be distracting) ><

Haha sweet! It might've been so cool to see how fast the progamers click and use their keyboards!

How's the crowd on the ground?

From the stream, it seems that the numbers and general enthusiam at Raleigh dampens in comparison to Anaheim and Columbus. Is that the feeling in person? If so, how much do you think is due to the local scene, and how much is due to Irene?

Actually, during the warmup period around 4:30pm EST, Bomber and Coca were sitting right next to each other. Around them was a crowd. Between them was a chair. Being a baller, I went and sat in said chair after observing that it went unoccupied for like 10 minutes. Was a great observing perspective =). Coca was playing some INTENSE as shit practice games with a practice partner (that he had real ID'd) on Shakuras. Bomber was just doing random Korean ladder with long queue T-T. The delay actually didn't seem very bad at all.

Oh, and at one point Bomber was playing so fast that the game started graphically glitching lol.

The seats were full, with a lot of people in the aisles because there wasn't much room. There is definitely a loss of people due to Irene though, as obviously we have encountered quite a few such cases on Teamliquid forums already. But, turnout is definitely an order of magnitude beyond what it was here in Raleigh last year.

Was really loud from a ground perspective, but I wasn't personally at Anaheim or Columbus, so I can't compare there. You just had to wait for the right pro =). For example Huk's cheer was like 4x Nani's.

He fell asleep on one of the couches in the lobby in a Jedi robe. Seltzer has the pic.
