Apple allows returns within 2 weeks within any fees, IIRC. So if its still within that window, you should be able to return it.

I love SeleCT. His history is so different from the average SC2 Progamer. He's one of my favorite Koreans.

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.

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).
What good comes from complaining? http://www.ustream.tv/channel/tyrion137

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 Germany and their expensive hotels.

I'm sorry but that is just crap. Do you go to the place where the Superbowl is and demand a hotel room for fifty bucks? The CeBIT is the world's largest computer expo. If a team doesn't account for that, they are just stupid. Blame incompetence.


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.

Man, I would've been really pissed off if I were in that position. Especially about the 300 Euro hotel room without a bathroom.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.
