I am a model, streamer, and writer for Impulse Gamer. I wrote an article covering MLG Anaheim for my editor, and decided to share with you all on TL. I had never been to a large pro circuit event, and I feel that it is too typical and boring to cover an eSports event with words, so I did things a little differently and created a little first-hand photo journalism-style experience for you guys!

Here is the link to the full article (the background of my section on the site may not be 100% SFW, I am a model and promote my gaming content using that angle): The MLG Spring Championship Experience Through Visuals and Commentary

I added links to the brackets of all games and tournaments, up-close and personal photos of the pros, and more!

[image loading]
Love this one of IdrA and DeMusliM! Look at Ben's face!

There are images and commentary from days 1, 2, 3 and everything I see from my perspective as an eSports fan, StarCraft II player, and even as a model and community personality as well.

[image loading]
The exact moment GG was called. You can see DRG's first reaction to the win!

I even added some of my personal stash from my camera phone at the end!

Please let me know how I did, and if you guys like this style of writing for eSports events. Not only do I want to share with you guys, I also want to improve my gaming writing and journalism for Impulse Gamer and create content you guys enjoy... even if it's really late to release!

Whatever you do, don't stop scrolling!

Impressive post, Tara! It's no wonder why you're a writer at Impulse Gamer, because you bring impulse into your eSports articles! :D

Aww! Thanks! Tried something different, and I think I like the tone it sets for eSports. Might stick with it for these kinds of events. The one I did for E3 was vastly different.
