First Singapore TeamLiquid outing, with two special guests - IdrA and Artosis
From left, first row: Kaleidoscope, dragoonkf, GenericTerranPlayer, konadora, IdrA, FakeSteve, eugene17, kimurra From left, back row: MyHeroNoob, htennek_mil, pangshai, Red_storm, Artosis, gzealot, JFKWT Behind the camera: The Storyteller
We were waiting for all the members to reach the subway station, met up a few people at first, people like GenericTerranPlayer, Red_Storm (fucking awesome guy btw, maybe because he's called steve too), hypnoticpoo (met up with him early), Kaleidoscope, htennek_mil, dragoonkf. Rest started joining us later, and after waiting for 30 minutes (steve, idra and artosis, we still don't know why you were late ), we decided to head down to our planned lan shop
But fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, all the lan shops were full, and those that weren't didn't have starcraft. So many fucking skillless newbies that only play dota. Real men play starcraft!
So, long story cut short, we found another lan that had starcraft, sat down and started playing against each other.
I played against pangshai (this guy can be a progamer if he works on the strategic part, 300 apm, sick)(but he plays protoss) and GenericTerranPlayer and after a while, fakesteve, idra and artosis found us.
I knew this beforehand that they were coming but still, meeting them in real life was probably one of the best things that have happened to me.
Saw some Idra vs Artosis TvT, crazy game where we witnessed progamer playing first-hand (although because of different keyboard and mouse and stuff they were having a hard time, like continuously pressing F1 or having those sticky keys appear)
Played two games with steve, won a tvt and lost a tvp ("protoss is so gay" - fakesteve), then played another game versus pangshai before we all headed down for some chicken rice.
Half the people parted after dinner, rest headed down to the bar at Clarke Quay for some beer, talked lots of stuff about SC, SC2, TL, gg.net and other stuff.
gzealot, idra, artosis, red_storm
I downed 2 cans of beer and 6 glasses of beer before I got home and I was like, "I think I'm on stim packs" and fell asleep
Oh, I took photos with everyone but my camera didn't have the memory card so nothing was saved, have to wait for GenericTerranPlayer to upload his photos
Everyone was great, really enjoyed the time spent, hope to do this more often. Fakesteve wore the mbc hoodie and the Kellogg's shirt (damn) and Artosis wore the (-_-' ) baller nerd shirt. Idra didn't wear his CJ shirt =(

How can you even make photos without a memory card inserted .... ohwell, seems like you guys had a good time. Did you have to search long for a lan shop with starcraft and spots ?

boo :<
sounds like you had a lot of fun Man i wish i could see idra play from behind
yeah i know how it feels when you're so used to your keyboard and mouse at home and you play in pc rooms and its totally different and throws you off. If Idra was flash he would have brought his own keyboard and mouse and a ruler hehe.

That must've been one intense tvt... btw liking the shirt artosis haha And aw, Kona you cutie
aw man, thats like a bazillion miles from me.. i'm flying to pittsburgh! =( and i hear theres nothin to do there, is it true?
There's plenty to do but I'd be lying if I said these blogs aren't makin me jealous.... If only tickets to fly across the world weren't so damn expensive.
Looks nice!!! That chicken-rice looks so damn delicious.. I missed my time in Singapore. I admire fakesteve for wearing the MBC hoddie. It must be very hot ^^
the longest clip i took was 2mins worth of artosis's screen. got chased out from the back of the shop by the shopkeeper cos it was their store (or some other special) area =p

i dont think you could afford climbing all up on my dick, im talking six or seven hundred bucks here
I hadn't seen a picture of FakeSteve before. I am scared of his flowing hair. Also, he must have been boiling in that hoodie+toque if everyone else is wearing t-shirts and flipflops.

its common in pc rooms
mostly you're so in the game it doesnt actually matter but unintentional ear hacks do happen^^ Unless you play with earphones. And when you play a casual game doesnt matter that much.

More of e-cafe + selling drinks

Good I must say, minimum B (although it may be because he was using an unfamiliar keyboard/mouse)
