CatZ, the reason I try proxy hatches. Love this guy.

I agree: CatZ' stream is great.

I've mentioned this already in my ridiculously short posting history, but the one competition I attended was MLG D.C. Met CatZ there (I may enjoy a cigarette from time to time myself). My take on the guy was exactly as this blog describes him; it's great to hear about him being so nice to others too.

Yeah, he had no problems with another smoking stranger waltzing up, saying 'hi', and getting kind of fanboy-ish. In fact, he was enjoying a chance to talk about the tournament.

'You should have seen my game this morning, I did a 6-pool on so-and-so'
"Really? Did you win?"
'No, but it was awesome. When the replays are out you should check that out'

And I did, I found the game. I can't remember who it was against now... (sorry, bro). It was definitely any given nerd's dream to have a fun chat like that with a pro though!

I wish CatZ a lot of luck and I continue to haunt his stream when I can so he gets some more ad revenue

Where the week begins


So I did. 700 miles to Cali, no biggie.

We take care of initial business, settle in. Then we need to head to Blizz Campus. He calls David Kim, because they're buddies, trying to figure out where it is. Eventually we get there, and David Kim walks out to meet us. I'm meeting David Kim now, I must be dreaming. He takes us on a tour through SC2 campus, where we see tons of cool junk, and eventually introduces us to Dustin Browder. Nerd's dream come true, and I've only been in Cali for a few hours.

We meet the lady in charge of the whole LA scene, and she's with Juan (Major). Cool, I don't really like him. She asks Paulo who I am, he tells her, and she basically says I'm not supposed to be here. Oh balls, I'm thinking, I'm going to have to go home. Ends up not being a big deal.


Next day, games begin. Few games pass, time for lunch, provided in the cafeteria/stream watching room. Catz and I grab our food and sit down. We're eating for a bit, and what do you know, Day9 and JP sit down at the same table. I'm starting to get used to this stuff, believe it or not. I don't have the balls to talk to either, so I just listen to Catz talk to them. Day is as cool and the exact same as you'd think. JP is chill as well.


I think I met you at Blizzard when we were smoking cigs after CatZ's match with a protoss, which he won 2-1. I was curious about who you were with the coL shirt and all, this story makes it all worthwhile. CatZ is such a baller.

Ah sick! Did you ask him for a smoke? I think I remember if that was you :D
