Liquid In China

Morning

Sam is more than content using Skype all day in bed:
[image loading]

The official player's handbook (Secrets of how to beat iG inside):
[image loading]

Signing G-1 shirts:
[image loading]

The black version:
[image loading]

Lunch

Kelly Milkies joined up with Loda in the lobby. I overheard something about Loda thinking Akke jumped on him in bed and kissed him on the lips, but that was just Kelly:
[image loading]

s4 and EGM followed suit:
[image loading]

On our way to get lunch! I'm really good at taking pictures of the back of heads if you didn't notice:
[image loading]

New guy on the left is CR, Carson's colleague. He said he plays LoL because his individual skill is low and everyone curses at him in DotA 2:
[image loading]

Found a really nice restaurant, Mike being Mike:
[image loading]

Carson ordering for us, we trust him:
[image loading]

TC and my red backpack:
[image loading]

Mike using a spoon! We even taught him to use a knife later that day:
[image loading]

I finally got my Asian on and took pictures of the food. Though I had to yell "STOP, NO!" every time the plates came out. This was soooo good, definitely the favorite.
[image loading]

Pretty similar to KBBQ:
[image loading]

This is why we love Carson:
[image loading]

Basically scrambled eggs and some shrimp:
[image loading]

Beef and onions:
[image loading]

Vegetables:
[image loading]

Chicken and pork:
[image loading]

Wanda Plaza:
[image loading]

Little strip along the Wanda Plaza, I was actually surprised how nice all the stores were:
[image loading]

On our way to buy some snacks:
[image loading]

My haul, these looked good:
[image loading]

The traffic is insane and we almost died again (Videos coming after g-1):
[image loading]

Pastries:
[image loading]

Anything with strawberries or kiwi, I WANT:
[image loading]

On our way back to get ready to meet at the stadium for rehearsal:
[image loading]

I got some Pock.. oh.. I mean Lucky Stick's:
[image loading]

[image loading]

I know you guys asked for more Akke:
[image loading]

DK:
[image loading]

TL's Flamewheel met up with us:
[image loading]

We don't got this in America:
[image loading]
[image loading]

Reception setup:
[image loading]
[image loading]

Banners along the walls:
[image loading]
[image loading]
[image loading]

They completely transformed this stadium, it looks very nice:

I'm starting a series called "Back of Chuan's head" -- I'm a next level creeper:

The big checks:
[image loading]

Production:
[image loading]

TC doesn't get to represent Canada.... and no one cared:
[image loading]

Up in the bleachers, the players will be seated down here during the rest times:
[image loading]

Lights turned off:
[image loading]

Ferrari is not amused:
[image loading]

I see Sam's resemblance to Mr. Potato head now:
[image loading]

Ferrari got up after resting for several minutes:
[image loading]

YYF taking pictures with fans:
[image loading]

Xiao8 already has a girlfriend Sam:
[image loading]
[image loading]

Korok relaxing:
[image loading]

Better picture of our banner:
[image loading]

iG's banner:
[image loading]

Sam and LGD.Yao:
[image loading]

Sam moved on quite quickly from Xiao8 to Yao:
[image loading]

The Trophy:
[image loading]

Getting on stage for rehearsal:
[image loading]

Kelly took a nice team picture for us:
[image loading]

On stage:
[image loading]

The stadium G-1 is held at:
[image loading]

Sam got asked to take a fan picture, promptly after they started walking away he took a picture of them. I, subsequently, took a picture of Sam taking a picture of the people who took a picture with him:
[image loading]

Getting ready to leave:
[image loading]

Turns out Sam got both Xiao8 and Yao:
[image loading]


Probably the last day I can do a ton of pictures, we'll see. Super tired but I wanted to post this up. A lot of video footage I can't share, such a shame. We'll see after G-1.

Cheers

-FLUFF

I really enjoyed the pictures and your captions.

Also I'm starting to like Mike more and more. We all now his (facial) hair. But a shirt with a V cut? He must be some next level hipster.
Winning internet arguments since it was cool.

Mike rocking those deep v's, so badass!


bulba seems very friendly, I'd probably be too scared to approach all the chinese pros.

this looks really awesome, thank you so much for posting all of the picture with captions!

Unfortunately there's no way to practice for us when we've been in China, but it looks like the guys are enjoying themselves. We did prepare a lot prior to leaving though.
