EPTWe arrived on Friday at around 11:30 and caught some of the earlier matches. Before I post pictures, I wanted to comment on the event overall. I think everyone would agree that things ran MUCH more smoother than IPL4. Friday and Saturday pretty much ran on schedule. Because the actual event was spread over 4 days instead of 3, the schedule didn't feel nearly as cramped as it did in April.
But it being a live event, it inevitably started running behind schedule and what seemed like the millionth ZVZ, I barely managed to stay awake for the finals. I was rooting for a 3-0 Leenock sweep so I could get some rest, but of course the match had to go the distance. All in all, I had a great time and will definitely be back for IPL6 if I can make it.
Now on to the pictures!

Kind of a sad picture, as outside of Symbol, the other 4 had just gotten knocked out of the IPL tournament haha. Also who know MC was such an Obama supporter!
