EPTAlso, I've resized them to forum sizes, but I have large (4000x3000 or something) versions. If you for whatever reason want one, PM me!
Day #1 started where I promptly met up with wonkman, who generously allowed me to stay in his hotel room, and we proceeded to the registration area where we happened to come across EG. We exchanged pleasantries and I informed them that I'm only partially a stalker, but mostly was going to be following them for some Teamliquid pictures. They approved.

After iNcontroL educated IdrA on the subject of candid photography, he managed himself in to my first proper photo of the day, which turned out to be one of my favorites.

Soon after, IdrA decided to look all angelic and shit.

Here is the man, Machine. He is looking quite devilish, indeed.

Tyler and Ret joined EG in line, and I snapped one of Tyler enjoying some sort of beverage. Somehow, being a photographer, I managed to cut in front of all of them when I went to register. :fuckyeah:

Here's Day[9] taking a clear interest in one of IdrAs 500 practice matches when the doors opened.

God damn I took a lot of pictures of IdrA. Anyway, it's a rare occasion when you can catch him showing a hint of emotion. This was taken after one of his many victories (maybe the finals.) If only I was allowed in the player area at this time, I could have gotten Machine without a monitor in front of his face.

Machine may only be spamming APM at this very moment, but he does so with great fervor.

I've been spotted, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu--

I sadly did not get many photos of HuK besides this one. I'd say that he is too small to find, or too wild to chase, but.. well actually, that's true. Anyway, here he is, sitting and staring at the projector to analyze the KiwiKaki vs IdrA match (I think).

This is not the face that I had imagined to be Kawaiirice, but so help me, it is. (he's so cute, etc etc)

The only other fnatic picture I got- Gretorp in the heat of battle.
edit: will brighten this up later, gotta sleep o.o

Now for some crowd shots. Here's QXC bunker rushing IdrA.

GG was called. I was hoping everyone would stand up and raise their hands, cheer and clap something crazy. They did everything except for standing up, and thus the photo was less exciting than I had hoped, but rest assured there was much excitement if you were there.

Pulled out my wide-angle lense and tried to get a shot of the entire crowd, from the wall and facing out. This may look like a lot, but it doesn't even do it justice. Behind the pillar, there are rows of people standing trying to get a glimpse of the action, no matter how awkward the angle.

That's it for tonight, in regards to photos! If anyone was there and was wondering which photo-camera guy I was, first day I was wearing a button-up with a red shirt under it, and second day I was wearing a hoodie with a white/gold-ish sleeveless shirt with tattoos (the few times I took the hoodie off.)
I played in the tournament, as well. First draw was against root.CatZ (who I sadly have no pictures of) which I lost, and second game was against "cava". I lost that too
It was all in the name of good fun, though, and I had a great time.A friend texted me and said that I was on camera briefly when playing, and that the MLG stream chat was talking about me because I wear a glove on my mouse-hand. I get joint pains and that undersized weightlifting glove helps tighten my hand and relieve pain somehow. Can't do that on my keyboard hand though because then I cant use hotkeys for shit. Anyway, my friend said a lot of people were talking about it. Maybe he's full of shit but I don't know :O
