EPT
Some of you know that I was in Korea for the past 3 weeks, mainly to visit family and see friends but an awesome additional plus was of course, starcraft!
I planned on going to see the GSL on the 16th since MMA was playing as well as the one liquid player I hadn't met yet, Liquid`Zenio. I was hoping I could get some photos and a video so that the foreign community could get to know him more since we haven't seen much yet. Thank you to both Nazgul and Huk for letting him know I was coming; I'm sure he would've been really confused if some random person accosted him for photos and a video otherwise haha. Wolf was incredibly awesome (thank you again!) and helped me find the studio and gave me a quick tour of the place; it was surprisingly smaller than expected. Inside the studio, I saw Mr. Chae and his co-commentator -

Then during this pre-show they were doing, they brought Zenio out! Finally saw him for the first time

Afterward, I introduced myself and because he was playing second, there was some time for some photos and a quick video message (video is at the bottom of this blog)

It was time for the matches to begin so I went back into the studio and took a quick photo of MMA setting up in his booth ^_^

Tasteless came out after getting ready and took a second to pose

I asked to take a picture of all the casters together

We met some awesome fans from San Francisco and got caught in the screencap haha

Then it was time for Zenio to play!! Was nervous the entire time ><; Was ecstatic when he won his first match against Yugioh though!

I then made a cheerful which apparently wasn't properly seen on the stream ;; thank you TLO for letting me know ;;;

Was really heartbroken when Zenio lost T______T... but good fight nonetheless!!
Afterward I got a chance to talk to Mr. Chae a bit which was nice since I hadn't seen him since IPL3 which was way back in October. He is such an awesome man, really hope he can make it out to more foreign events given the chance!

And then the night ended with dranks with Wolf and Tasteless. Thanks Tasteless for coming out despite having casted a long day ^^;; Good times and talks were had~

and LAST but certainly not least, here is the video message by Liquid`Zenio to the foreign community!! It was pretty impromptu, but I think you guys will be impressed with his English for sure ^_^ Let's cheer for Zenio in his IEM run!!
