I had the distinct and remarkable pleasure of being in the GSL studio for the end of the series between sC[fOu] and IM NesTea, camera in hand.. if you haven't seen that series, go watch it now!! Here are a few pictures and a video from the end of the last game and the winner being a badass afterward... Click thumbnails for larger. PM for HQ if you want them.
Anyway, in the middle of the last epic game, when sC had the advantage and was pushing across the map, the fOu coach, Choya, came out into the crowd, expecting at any moment to be able to go over and congratulate his cheesy golden boy. He's the one standing, dressed in a snazzy black suit.

During the match, when NesTea lost his third and sC had another force barreling down the map, someone told me "too bad NesTea is going to lose"... I said something like "don't count him out, yet, man. He always pulls crazy stuff out of his ass."
When he did miraculously win the final battle, the crowd fucking erupted!
+ Show Spoiler [Video] +My camera doesn't have that good of a mic, so the feeling of mayhem in the crowd isn't done justice. Trust me when I say everyone was roaring!

Normally after a GSL win there are 1 or 2 photographers taking pictures of the winner.. there were like 10+ waiting to take pictures of NesTea!

You should really get some spoiler tags up in here.

The thumbnails are showing up, aren't they? I don't think anyone would be dumb enough to click on something titled "last game" and not expect the result to be spoiled..

I also agree that they are unnecessary. Anyways, those kids in the second to last picture look so nerdy T___T lol

Is that the entire/most of the crowd? Its actually pretty small. :/

Sure, no prob

One thing the GSL should do more is show shots of the crowd, I realize we get 0 crowd shots like we had in broodwar.
doom zooms would be awesome too.

I agree, especially with doom zooms lol. But jeez OP I really really envy you for being there. I watched that match live with a laptop on my lap, chilling on my bed, 3 or so in the morning, and god I felt the same rush and excitement as that crowd.
Best SC2 match I have ever seen.

I believe Koreans do this, but not the Western GSL(If you can follow me here) , this is probably due to the fact that it simply does not go well together(You need sort of coordination between the korean observer and the camera, now you need to do that at the same time as the english observer) That and the english commentators obviously can't read hangul, hence why they don't shots of the koreans holding up signs(atleast thats what I think).
Ow yeah and the crowd is probably 99% male or something, while in BW we always have QT's lined up for some camera action.

The korean/english casters share an observer. It used to be Tasteless controlling the camera, now they have a dedicated observer for both.
I think Artosis has his own screen, and tasteless is stuck watching the observer cam
