Wow, I hardly even know anything about BW...
but your writing was so captivating and funny that I couldn't stop reading this.

I'm going to Seoul soon and was only thinking about the GSL, but now, I hope there's a chance I can see PL before it's gone...
Thanks for writing this, sincerely.

Ohh, in the FBB pic, Best is looking right at you.

Great blog, 5/5

Wow, did you read everything? I didn't think anyone would get through it all. Thanks! And I hope you get your chance too. It's definitely worth a trip (actually, many trips imo xD)

Yeah, I have an NA account. But I don't really play anymore because I'm stuck in silver and every time I play, I just get frustrated at how bad I am

lol, I like fantasy's pose in that photo. Bisu is playing hard to get (eye contact) with you, he plays that with his favourite fans, or so I hear ;p

The only STX fan items I got... were the pizza & soda in my tummy xD

Actually, I did want a photo with Calm, but he was pretty popular with the girls, and I didn't want to butt into their circle :<
