Photos from MLG Anaheim

I haven't been to an MLG or anything of the like in quite a while. In fact, the last time I went to a StarCraft II event was in 2011, also in Anaheim, at Blizzcon. There, I enjoyed what was to me the very best moment of the year: the GSL finals, and MMA winning.

Thus, I feel very lucky to say that MLG Anaheim 2012 rivals Blizzcon 2011 in sheer StarCraft II fueled excitement.

As you'll probably soon see in the photos, this was in no small part due to Brood War greats -- and legends unto themselves -- appearing in person and playing SC2.

Anyhoo, pics.

I will say though that the one I think you'll best enjoy the pics is to use Flickr's lightbox, and use the next/prev buttons at the top to flip through the entire album.

Here's the link to the lightbox: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nodnod/7181771519/in/set-72157630026222413/lightbox/

Here's the link to the full album: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nodnod/sets/72157630026222413/with/7367911200/

In any case, here the pics in the spoiler below. Click the pics for bigger versions.

Some very epic poses in that selection.
Almost enough of browder to pose a full 3x3 grid of emotions with others.

Fierce determination on so many.

Haha, back to Browder. He ... He ... He destroyed the rocks in a brilliant positioning move! I TOLD YA THEY ENHANCED GAMEPLAY!

Nice photos.

I think you went a bit overboard with the color adjustment and vignetting, though.

Great photos.

I hate to ask this next part - one of your pictures of Dustin Browder screams at me "make a meme out of me!!" Would you be upset? I won't if you say no.

It lives in ASM's domain, the unimpressed flash meme. I don't think I'm the first from this set of photos. But they are freakin' great pictures.

This album has the correct amount of pictures of Flash. Any more and my laptop may have melted from the awesome. As it is currently on my lap I dont think I would have liked that.

great pics !

maybe don't go so hard with the post-processing next time though. a little bit of vignette looks good, but too much looks a little cheesy. but keep up the good workk!

And seriously, no one can ever doubt Dustin Browder's passion for the game.

Would you be okay if I/ we meme some of these?
