If you didn’t watch the final, don’t read this blog!

Well today I woke up at 11:00 am and prepared to go to Sindorim to watch the final which started at 6:00 pm. Actually around 12:00, I got a call from Jang Yong Hwi (my friend from KT Proteam, he is the MC). He wanted to have lunch together before meeting the KT Fans. I asked him if he has something in order to people from TL community can watch what he is doing exactly. He gave me his own card with his contact (email, phone etc). I took a pictures of that, so don’t esitate to visit his website, there are many funny pictures! MC Hwi

GOMTV and Techno Mart staff started preparing the place for spectators.

They started preparing everything.

Around 3:30 pm, KT fans arrived on the place. We talked a lot and and they started to announce names about people who booked a place. Then we were waiting until 5:00 pm before going to the stadium.

My nouna was working hard!

Finally around 5:20 pm, we entered in the stadium. We prepared stuff to support FlaSh. All these things in pictures!

This is the left side of the stadium books for FlaSh fans.

Few minutes before the match, my friends told me to come and they introduced me to FlaSh’s parents. I was really shy actually. Talking to a progamer is really ok, but to progamers’ parents, it’s another thing. I never had this experience before. It was a honour to meet them and to tell them that their son is an excellent StarCraft player and that we are to support him. They were amazed that I spoke Korean with the polite form ahah! FlaSh’s parents are really kind. They asked were I come from, if I watch StarCraft often etc… Then I took a sit and take a pictures of them with my friends. That was a good experience to me.

A friend behind me was showing stuffs to support FlaSh.

After taking a break, a friend from Blizzard staff, Lee Seyong, gave me a call to meet me. We met, and he brought me in the backstage. There, I met again KT players like forGG, Tempest, Violet and one of my favourite one, HoeJJa, with his incredible “oh pierre whassup? I speak English a little bit, I am good?” ahah! During this time, I noticed FlaSh, who was closing his eyes during a perm that a girl did to him. After that, Tasteless were coming, we talked and he is still an amazing guy. Lee Seyong introduced me some Blizzard staff, they were American. It was really cool to meet them, they are really nice guys and really passionate by StarCraft. That’s a big deal! I hope to meet them again later.

Then the final was coming. I rushed on my sit. I was really focus on that. So I didn’t take many pictures and videos during the match, sorry guys, it was too important to follow that. Anyway, I took some videos when I wanted. The first one is during FlaSh’s introduction. I just took these videos when people were screaming like the hell ahah. Enjoy!

The second one is about the support what we gave to FlaSh. MC Whi was leading that and we just followed his speech!

Well after that, I really watched the match. I didn’t take any epic moments through pictures or videos… I am really sorry. During the third set, I just talked again with HoeJJa and Violet. So I just can say that this GOMTV Final was a really success, and all sets played by FlaSh and Iris were totally insane. FlaSh totally dominated thanks to an impressive micro and macro. That was incredible. KT players started to walk next to the stage, ready to jump on FlaSh after Iris GG’s. When I felt the last set which was coming to an end, I took a video. You will notice the KT players’ reaction and FlaSh’s family jumping of happiness, fans and me, screaming about FlaSh’s victory!

After these incredible moments, I just took pictures about FlaSh, holding the cup with smile and proudness. Congratulations Lee Young Ho!

After the last set, FlaSh was waiting for questions from the broadcaster.

The broadcaster interviewed FlaSh.

You can smile, you played really well today!

Yeah man you got it, you are the new GOMTV champion!

FlaSh was leaving the stage.

I hope guys you enjoyed this final. These TvT were really in an insane level. These are totally a must see. FlaSh was excellent. Iris too but he did many mistakes in his micro and macro. But he played really well anyway.

The King.

the difference is he was actually AT the finals. He also provided alot of pictures and coverage. You're post is just a troll / idiotic attempt at getting a response. Go elsewhere.
