EPT
I know I haven't been very active in the community ever since I left Korea; ever since BW days really. But this past event gave me back the tiny spark that I thought I had lost.
What I love (and have always loved) about large events such as IPL are the people. I've always contributed what I could for the community; the interviews, the translations, the "casting", the t-shirt sales, the TL meetups - because I love the people involved. More so than the game itself, I do what I do for those who play, watch, cheer and support eSports. Despite the haters, the anti-fans, the namecalling and negative comments, I do it for those who DO appreciate what I can bring to the table.
Having said that, I just want to share with you my pictures from IPL4, and thank IGN for giving me this amazing opportunity and for keeping me in the loop, so to say. IPL4 was a great time for me to catch up with old friends I've known since BW days (casters and management from GOM, reporters/press from Korea, nerdlings such as Idra, Machine, Dimaga, White-Ra, etc... and TL members R1CH, Hotbid, Heyoka, Smix... ) and to make new acquaintances (up and coming players, IGN staff members, etc...)
I can officially say I'm excited for IPL5... Maybe I'm warming up to SC2 afterall... >.<

Tall people are tall.
I believe they are both 6'7 or 8... and me at a measly 5'3. Wait, in this picture I'm on my toes so I think I might be closer to 5'6.... ![[image loading]](http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/577840_10101468788418119_8826617_67588909_154865772_n.jpg)

Wolf and HD did great jobs casting on Stream 2, even when things were not going as smoothly as expected, they stepped it up and kept on rolling with the punches

On day 3, I was allowed to join LiveU (BEAST CREW!!) with the beautiful Lani. No one ever asks us to dress this way, but I was in Vegas and wanted to feel pretty... so I did.

So Ryung has this hat with wings on it, and everyone kept on stealing it from him because it's so cute. Stephano apparently took it from him and he was raging
At the after party, people kept on wearing it and not giving it back to him. Heh.![[image loading]](http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/575088_10101468577181439_8826617_67588168_1916332924_n.jpg)
