Red Bull Battle Grounds DOTA2

First attempt to vlog failed! But I had some good video clips so I threw all of them into a little mix, hope you guys like it.

PLAYOFFS

Teams arrived a day earlier before I did, so as soon as I landed in LAX I went straight to Red Bull headquarters [RBHQ] to translate IG's interviews. RBHQ was huuuuuge and everyone seemed to really like it, especially the ping pong table.

[DAY1&2]

Besides from the 2 teams that played a match, everyone else hung out at RBHQ's screening room to watch the game or practice. And at the end of the day, a shuttle would send everyone back to the hotel.

FUN DAY

The day after we found out the 2 finalists, Red Bull treated everyone to lunch, Go-Kart and dinner. We went to a really nice restaurant next to the beach for lunch, but sadly BurNing and 430 went shopping instead. Then the entire Team Malaysia left for LAN cafe instead of going to Go-Kart!! (sad face)

Go-Kart was SUPER fun. Dinner was awesome as well, and Team Malaysia joined us. Arteezy and s4 both challeged the full size ribs, I have to say they did a good job finishing, although Artour didn't touch any of his side dishes (cheater!).

San Francisco!

HOME SWEET HOME! Team Malaysia and IG ended up on the same plane, so when we arrived I sent both teams with their rides to the hotel, while I got picked up by my mommie to go home. It was really nice to have the grand finals back in San Francisco. I didn't have to worry about carrying my entire closet in a suitcase.

Grand Finals
Before I go on about anything, BIG SHOUT OUT to the crowd at Warfield, you guys were amazing. The venue had so much detail and the production level was unbelievable (considering it was only for one series).

Final Thoughts
I met a lot of great people (Ben, Kani, Rosa and many more) during this event and had so much fun working with everyone who participated. Even though there were a few hiccups, I think the event went really well. I hope Red Bull will host another event like this in the future.
