Nice blog, I'm hoping to go to one soon myself as I can only imagine the intense atmosphere that must be at events like Blizzcon and MLG.

such a awesome blog, thanks for sharing mate!

anyone knows how big the audience was at blizzcon 2011?

26,000 attended Blizzcon. Exact figures on how many watched SC2 is impossible to calculate..."a lot" is my rough estimate.

You really should, if possible! The atmosphere is indeed intense but in a positive, lighthearted way. It's one of the greatest things in the world, if you love Starcraft.

According to Tasteless, the GSL Final was watched by people at the RTS Stage AND the Main Ceremony stage. And both were FULL. So I can estimate at least 50-60% of the attendees watched it. But as for who watched Starcraft period, that is indeed impossible to determine.

so you speak chinese AND russian ? oh my


Yes, I am working on a few articles to translate from Chinese to English; I'm planning on applying to TL.net as a translator.

And I only know a VERY LITTLE bit of Russian. I took only 1 year of it from college.


Well, that makes you Russian better than my French

Hey, if you need any help with translations just shoot me a PM! I'm too lazy to be a full time proper TL translator (at the moment) but I'd be glad to help!

Also, nice calendar. I'd pay good money for an ESPORTS calendar like that, but with their photos on the top spread, of course. Hey, TL should get one made, in the name of charity!

Haha great read man, i am so jealous of you for going to a live event. I made a promise with a friend of mine that for providence we are going. Thanks for sharing your experience with us, was sick. : )

I thought I loved E-Sports too...but now I feel like that's false advertising. I need to get my ass to MLG Columbus this year for my first live event, I want this transformational live event feeling :p

All of this, so encouraging! I can only imagine how Barcrafts go (and hope to not imagine before long!) but with everything growing so much...

Just makes me happy to be in it all!
