WCS NA Season 2

Came in time to watch Taeja roll through Arthur






Arthur vs Major in the losers match


The winners match we all expected


But still no one to match Taeja's roll




That dimple faced assassin


The casters enjoying a brief respite














Surprise! It's Polt!


Haha that look into each other's souls...


Ok that was awkward... look back down now






Yet another surprise... good job to Rotti for sneaking the cake behind Polt


In the meantime we must interview Taeja


That look on Nathanias' face... he knows something that Polt doesn't know


Happy birthday Polt!


Look of surprise and happiness!






So this ended up being my last shot because I had to go... I think this game lasted another 20 more minutes.

Here are Group C's pics! You guys asked for Bomber/Polt... you guys shall receive Bomber/Polt pics! (Group B pics are in the spoiler tag at the bottom)


Made it in time for the losers match... Bomber setting up to face Check












Kerrigan figurines


Raynor figurine


Winner's match... sort of looks like a mirror match no?






Toodming was laddering right before the map selection and he really wanted to win his match even though Cam kept calling him to step up to the stage




What they are playing for... could look better


Polt too OP




Polt - "I'll win both Season 2 and 3 just like last year"


Polt and Bomber sharing a moment before Bomber's match with Toodming








Toodming nice guy!










Bye bye for group C... tune in tomorrow for group D pics! Taeja! Violet! Major! Arthur!

I went for Group A of the Ro16 but didn't bring my camera, but for Group B I came prepared. Let me tell you the folks at ESL have done a really good job with the studio. The seating area for fans is relatively small but from talking with the producers, they hope to expand in the near future.


Made it in time for the beginning of the losers match between Revival and Nestea


Revival being the respectful guy that he is


Nestea didn't seem too bummed about falling out of the Ro16


Winner's match


Wider shot of the studio


This group was great because all the players (esp Hyun/Alicia/Revival) are really close with each other, so here's Hyun and Alicia being a bit playful


Winner's interview - "If 3 base doesn't work, just 2 base all-in"


3 ZvZ's = lots of roaches




Clutch and ToD


Hyun and Revival are really good friends, so it sucked for Hyun to have to beat Revival (twice) to advance to the Ro8




Revival still distressed over his loss


Still distressed...


I think ToD enjoys the SoCal sun... from my understanding, he'll be back next week to cast as well?


Group shot along with Pigbaby and Heart as well
