I spent the weekend attending proleague, had an absolute blast and met some awesome people (like effort :D). Not shown: the CJ Entus shirt effort gave me.
Recently I haven't been as interested in the BW leagues, but when I did I had been a CJ fan. My experience meeting the team has definitely reaffirmed my love for the team. The players were nice, though in some cases shy, and were pretty willing to sign anything we put in front of them Skyhigh in particular was very outgoing and friendly. Some of the lesser known players actually wouldn't sign the banner at first, but I got most of the team in the end (except snow, who decided to spend the entire fan meeting with a chick on a bench). The fanclub director guy was very friendly, spoke great English and helped us talk to the players. They all made it extremely fun, and though I missed the first game of the next series, it was totally worth it.
I took lots of pics, most of which were blurry as hell, but here are some choice shots:
Ace, after winning. Awesome series.
The heroes of the day :D
Marcus, who I met this weekend, was the only person in the studio with blonde hair. He got a lot of camera time
The crowd, behind the seating. It was PACKED.
I took a lot more, some good some bad, so you can check out the entire album: http://imgur.com/a/Ow0Vv
Hahahaahaha this is so awesome fuck you for being with effort in a photo. I am so jealous of you jesus christ and gods and stuff sdghfdskjlhgfdkljhgkl just lucky man lucky man. Lol your beard stroking is amazing, highlight of proleague.
My friends and I were laughing a ton at you stroking your beard when we were watching live. "I'm a white guy, check out this beard I can grow." Nice pics.

Surprisingly, they really open up to the fans a lot, especially the foreigners. I'm still on the good speaking terms with the person running the ENTUS twitter and Sean Oh. Sean's very friendly, and he also speaks English.
I was actually surprised when they told me to drop by at their training house; thought it wasn't allowed when players were practicing very hard during playoffs. Despite that I found a good time to drop by to say hello... and just have good cup of water lol.

*Nods* I know ^_^; I worked with Sean Oh for the photo shoots, and during a session where I went to the CJ officetel/practice house to do interviews. It definitely helped having an english speaker on hand since some of the other teams didn't have anyone so I'd have to use my crappy command of Korean to sort out projects etc.
The nicest thing that happened to me with CJ was after doing the in house interviews when one of the other managers sat us down and made us some dinner :D Plus their ondol wasn't scorching like it was in the old eStro house lol.
Thanks for the pics (jelly enough for a non-CJ fan)! After seeing Kiett's blog and yours, I'm starting to warm up to the jackets- the bright yellow and side zip are starting to look cool.

Never got to try the ondol T_T;;
Also, Sean said I could talk to the players during the break and all, but I had to wait 5 hours. I was just happy that he gave me the offer though; shows how open ENTUS is to fans.
