Finals have been driving me up the wall all week, but I've finally had time to make this blog x_x
So I bought a new camera a few weeks ago, a Nikon D3100, which is all a poor student like me can afford. Wasn't really expecting to go to any events in the near future... after all, I had basically stopped caring about competitive gaming the day Jangbi kissed his second and final Starleague trophy and the curtains fell on professional Korean BW. But dis Mizu kid somehow convinced me to go to IPL 5, if only to meet lovely TLers again (although he sucks for backing out last minute). Well, from there, with all the excitement and passion, I just got sucked in again, and ended up agreeing to go to NASL4 finals as well D;
Even though it was 2 separate events one week apart, it honestly just felt like one giant long ass weekend to me. Everything just blurs together when you're having a good time. Great games in the day, yummy food with friends at night, and mafia until dawn. It was amazing. But once you've lived the esportslyfe... you just can't go back lol. Now I just count the days until the next event ><
Until then, I'd like to share some of my favorites from the photos I took (my comments and ramblings in spoilers). I'm still super noob, but hey, it's already a huge step up from my crap OSL final pics from last year lol. Much love and thanks to Kevin (silverfire), Robbie (GHOSTCLAW), and Jon (itsjustatank) for all the pro-tips and letting me borrow lens and stuff  oh and Robin, Gary, and Torenhire are the best, wouldn't have been able to go to either event without you guys, thank you <3

Sorry Kiett and Bisu but Hero definitely has the best hair in Esports.
On the other hand Loco makes me want to strap him down to a chair and give him a buzz cut.

that food looks delicious!!! I WANT.. thanks now i'm hungry
Great pictures! Looking forward to some more if you decide to keep going to sc2 events
|
not crazy about the chicken and the shape of the waffles, but the rest of the blog is 5/5
|
Yes ROSCOES! I go there at least once a month. That place is amazing..
Great photos and blog. Can't wait for your next giant post!

From what I've experienced....ESPORTSLYFE involves a lot of hangovers

hoon is too attractive
even with that beard
in other news, thx for getting a pic of me that I don't absolutely hate :D

Esports Life seems a bit too much for me, I'm just gonna stick to the boring over the internet Esports life, now with 100% less waffles and the same amount of fried chicken.
EDIT: this is my 1984th post, thus this thread is now about chicken and waffles in dystopia.

How the hell are you supposed to eat that massive breakfast @_@
And Hoon and Polt pics!

Speaking of pictures of you...
You know how on Saturday I went back to my room early but forgot my camera behind? I got it back the next day from Robbie and I found like, 30 photos of you on it. He's got a crush on you imo.
I did like this one though

We have a lot in common:
- I was talking to silverfire regarding getting a camera
- I got a D3100
You make it sound like it's a crap camera... it's pretty good!

Oh no. It's a lovely camera. It's just that it's kind of hard not to develop a camera inferiority complex when hanging around with silverfire and co xD But I'm very happy with it, considering I got the body and lens for like, 350 total ^^

Don't eat this fat in disguise unless you want to look like inControl. The obesity risk of gaming is high enough already.
