Day 1 Post
+ Show Spoiler +
Hi everyone, it's me that guy with the stupid military camo on a camera lens again. I went to NASL today but only for the last 3 BO3s because I had a job interview in the afternoon that I had to go to. I'll be sure to post plenty more for days 2 and 3. Here's a few select pictures I liked from day 1. It was a really good day 1 but the casters and everyone were absolutely dying toward the end T_T so tired. However the games were good and they're working through the night to fix additional issues that came up. Just previewed the pictures and they're a little too small to be suitable (don't know what the pixel width is for not stretching is; actually I'm guessing 600 since those are 400px wide).

Cropped Gallery Day 1: http://imgur.com/a/tv1Zl (basically the images below)

Don't forget I'll be updating for days 2 and 3 too.

Day 2:
+ Show Spoiler +

Got there early this time and it started on time so everyone was happy. Awesome play throughout and the crowd was bigger this time. Here are some highlights to check your appetite BUT the album links do have MORE for you look at since there are simply too many to mention here.

I tried out a slightly different configuration for my camera and the pictures came out worse so I'm going to go back to the first day's settings. (If anyone is interested I tried getting away with 1/100s instead of 1/60 and it didn't really work out that well; admittedly the first day pictures had a lower hit rate and blur due to subject motion but the ones that hit were sharp and bright compared to the todays and I should've checked more throughly throughout the event but they could've changed the lighting overnight too so yea I'll strive to take better pictures for the final day)

Crowd right before it started at 11 local time, I guess people were sleepy or hungover (second is more filled later in the day)

Day 3:
TONS OF PEOPLE were there. There were more than the either of the 2 previous days. Started with the performance with the 2 matches shortly after and the crowd was definitely louder than ever. As per day 2 there are more pictures in the gallery than I have the time to mention here. I've briefly inlined the highlights below.

Photo rights: I've had a few people ask me about photo rights. You can do whatever you want with the pictures generally. If it's on TL I just ask that you credit me (username) or if its offsite something like opiuman@TL.net would work fine too. Please check out the other NASL coverage topic at http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=241783 too if you havent. I HIGHLY recommend you go to the galleries below since theres much more there.

Nah, I came pretty late like 5 PM in the afternoon so everyone was literally dying due to jetlag EXCEPT for white-ra and sen. white-ra stuck around signing right up until his game (so nice lolololo) It's not a big deal for me anyway.

you arrived at NASL Day 1 at the right time

DarkForce vs Alive was the best match of the day

expect Day 2 & possibly Day 3 to be long grinds if you expect to be there for the entirety of the days

how was the crowd?

Wasn't there the whole day but the last 3 BO3s were quite packed. No one wanted to sit in the side sections since the view wasn't that great but it was definitely a lot of people. I'll try to get more crowd shots since I didn't have any.

Big, only going to get bigger since it's the weekend now. The crowd really liked it, similar to all the Blizzcons I've been to. And yes I know how it is, been to pretty much all the multi day events in SoCal I've been there.
So say we all.

Ya i really wanted to know how the crowd felt about all of the delays and the long hour breaks and stuff. I hope they were not stuck in their seats for all of that time, and had something to do. I know you came late, but was there any talk about this kind of stuff, or was everyone there just happy and enjoying the games (unlike the LR thread, haha).

The delay on day 1 from what I heard wasn't horrible I think since everyone was still outside and talking to each other and day9 came out and greeted people and stuff. The hour long break most people went to get food and there were the various casters/gamers/staff doing signings throughout so it wasn't horrible.

Also, DAY 2 PICTURES UP
So say we all.

This is a Canon 550D in combination with either a 70mm-200L 2.8 IS USM II or a 24mm-70L 2.8 USM. A bit much for just a hobby but I plan on moving up to the 1d mk 5 when it comes out or the 5d mk 3 when it does. Originally I lowballed the body since I wasn't sure if I would've liked photography in the first place and plus lens > body (almost every time).
So say we all.
