Heh heh, looks like a lot of people had difficulties in getting to their rooms, I remember dApollo having similar issues while trying to get to his place.

Mcdonalds wifi is a real life saver (personal experience!)

Funny story, sad that we Germans need to defend ourselves against racism despite the story being mostly about bad luck :/

Hey SeleCT! Your story gets pretty messy, but I can relate to having things go wrong in Europe where no one can communicate with you. I met you at DreamHack Winter a few months ago, we ate a meal together on the first day, you're still my favorite Terran, and I wish you the best of luck in upcoming tournaments (and travel).

Hopefully next time things will be better and we'll get to see the beast Select that we all love.

Another proof that a real universal language would be so great! At least anyone could be understood no matter where he goes.

In any case, good luck in the future SeleCT! And please stream more!

I don't freaking care about how messy the story is or the fact that its such a huge wall of text. The mere fact that its SeleCT's blog makes it worth reading

Edit: Now that I've actually read the blog all I can say is AWESOME STORY!

And this statement "she got out of a bus and came" just cracked me up......speaks volumes of select's sex appeal LOL

Blame IEM. They're providing the rooms. And they had better provide them, what team wants to send a player for 500$ a night for 5 nights or so, on the chance they might win 35,000$ (that goes to the player due to most contracts?) More likely that they will win far far less, not even 1000$. Is it worth it for the team? No, then why would they send the players to IEM unless IEM paid for it. In that case, it falls upon the players to complain till IEM treats them better, or just refuse to go if it's not worth the effort for it.

And I wouldn't expect a 50$ room, but I could find a motel for that much with better amenities near the Superbowl for the same price. And I'd be willing to spend 150$ a night, which isn't unreasonable for a better place on average. Don't blame the team, blame CeBIT, and the indifference of IEM.
