This event was MLG 2012 Spring Championship if I recall correctly, when Kespa and MLG formed a partnership and had a bunch of the Korean Brood War legends come to America to play SCII exhibition matches.

I believe the signatures on the mousepad are from Bisu, Stork, Fantasy, Flash, Leta, Calm, Jaedong, and Soulkey, the participants of the exhibition tournament. I didn't know any better and loved the mousepad so much I used it as my primary mousepad, and eventually it wore out and all the signatures faded away. At least I still have these pictures and the memories.
Starcraft has been a part of my life for so long and all the more so nowadays with ASL going strong. It's incredible to think how basically every player here is still playing to some extent, more than a decade later. Hopefully Brood War can healthily continue for years to come.
