Upon returning from a bathroom break/whatever they noticed a bald guy sitting in their seats. This bald guy was Sundance. Without knowing, they had asked Sundance to move and he happily obliged, without making it known who he was. The next time that they get up they decide to leave some personal effects on their seat as a way of indicating that the seat was occupied. I'm told by people that attended MLG that this was fairly common practice. Xeris, when noticing two unoccupied seats, takes it upon himself to displace the items on the seat. When told the purpose of the items he was throwing onto the floor and that those seats were being held for winners of a contest Xeris had this to say, "I won these too ... through hard work." Really Xeris? MLG management: respectful members of the community, awesome event all around. NASL management: will throw your shit on the ground. Well I doubt we'll get a response from Xeris, but this is ridiculous. I don't even know what he could say. "Hey man, obviously I was joking." "All the witnesses heard me wrong."? I hope more people see this, so they can see how Xeris acts toward community members. | ||

There was no way I was waiting in line when Hilton was around a 3 minute walk (took less time to even go there since no line). Also, to all the seating complaints, I heard they knwe there would be more but are limited to a certain amount of seats for safety reasons/firehazard/etc. Although they should just pack Halo/CoD into a corner or side somewhere and move the 100 total spectators that showed up for those two events combined and used their stages to feature SC2! sorry for late reply, catching up on thread, but you realize at the event, inside, they turned the womens restroom into the mens restroom, and there was like... 50 stalls there right? (on the wall next to the halo feature stages 1 and 2?) | ||

Happens all the time at graduations. Ahh I see. Its alot of fun watching the audience view in the MLG stream itself. I thought to myself that all these types of self-expression(troll boards, Gracken worm, flipping tables, Emperor T-shirts and EmperorFighting signboard) and fun are rarer in the GSL streams. | ||

He said yes and immediately took my mouse pad back to day9, got the autograph and then contacted me on twitter later that night to return the mousepad to me in the hotel lobby. It was so cool that benefit so far out of his way to help out a single fan <3. He also gave his pizza to a friend of mine after overhearing how hungry he was and no I'm not kidding about that. Woah Sundance is TOO nice. Makes me feel really bad for all the flak g he got after Dallas. | ||

Happens all the time at graduations. There were two beach balls being tossed around randomly, and one of the security guard ladies grabbed it and took it away. The whole crowd boo'd her (really loud), a mix of that and the frustration they were causing for not letting the crowd sit on the floor. So after she was humiliated she joined the fun and threw the ball and we cheered her lol | ||

If you've been around awhile you'd know that. The old BW commentator GGRise posted about him too. "I met xeris IRL at WCG US finals that I was supposed to cast in NYC. I can confirm: he is a dick. I was standing watching either idra or machine playing and he literally walked and stood right in front of me - as in my shirt was touching his. I tapped him on the shoulder and asked him "excuse me, is there a reason you stepped right in front of me?" to which he replied "I felt like it" so I told him to "get out of my fucking way before I make you get out of my fucking way." eg.colbi was standing next to me and said "dude, this is motherfucking xeris." I not so calmly replied "I don't give a fuck who he is, you don't get in front of someone like that" (other than incontrol maybe, he's a much bigger guy than me) and he got out of the way. If he didn't, I was planning on pushing him over the midget barrier >:D tl;dr yes, xeris is a big douche IRL" Lol oh Xeris...not surprising at all. Once a douche always a douche. The only thing surprising is that some (very few) people are actually surprised by this. | ||

He must be lying about the "hard work" since it was quite clear that no one put any sort of "hard work" into NASL. Not only that, he was involved in the tournament format of NASL. Now I'm not a big shot like Xeris so my opinion probably doesn't matter to anyone, but I'd like everyone to remember that he helped design the NASL tournament format! Flying 7 or 8 Korean players over to California to play a single elimination tournament that's Bo3 up to the semi finals, that is genius. I don't think any of us less important, less clever people in the community would come up with a brilliant, innovative idea like that. Xeris has earned the right to kick those competition winners out of their seats, he is truly the greatest mind in tournament organisation that the Starcraft community has ever seen. | ||

<evoli> There were no seats, no seats at all. <evoli> It gets kind of irritating as the front two rows are reserved for press/vip/players, but it's a rule that isn't enforced. <evoli> I get a hold of MLGLish and ask if we can do something. <evoli> She contacts security and they say they'll clear it out after the game. <evoli> They don't. <evoli> Series ends <evoli> and hella people get up and leave <evoli> but everyone is 'saving' seats with bags or having their friends cover for them. <evoli> Gets irritating. <jenzebubble> did xeris say "I won a contest too.. by working hard" <jenzebubble> and did his girlfriend say "They don't know who we are" <evoli> No. <evoli> His girlfriend didn't say that. <evoli> He did remark on his hard work., <evoli> But anyway Xeris moves this bag to floor; the seat has been vacant for five minutes. <evoli> His girlfriend sits down next to him. <evoli> After about three minutes I go and move the bag too -- it's getting outrageous at this point. <evoli> There are twenty or so people waiting for seats and about 700 more fans. <evoli> So after about a minute of my sitting <evoli> someone comes up and asks for his bag and is given it. <evoli> After another minute a second person comes, very upset, and asks why the seats were taken. Obviously there are a couple sides to every story. That said, Xeris has proven himself to be a douche on numerous occasions so it's hard to know what exactly the truth is. | ||
