Why's MMA so cool?

Last weekend I was able to attend MLG Anaheim with my team Infinity Seven. Here are some of the photos I took~ :D

Flo

Teammate iSEdge. Made it to round 7 in the open losers' bracket knocking out Destiny 2-0 and FnaticFenix 2-0.

We had a bit of an upset when he lost to xSixVer in the Upper bracket. In game 3 his computer restarted due to some windows update, and in a late game TvT where he was up by 60 food and 2-3 more bases he had to regame because according to MLG rules the player that's behind has the say of whether he wanted a rematch. Edge lost the 4th game, I don't want to give excuses about how the potential winner of a game being forced to rematch can affect him emotionally, negatively and even more so at 2am in the morning, and I can even say I do understand Ver wanting to try again since fate gave him the chance, but I can't help but feel that it was just so so so unfair, and sincerely hope that MLG will fix these computer problems in the future. Sorry for ranting.

The Infinity Seven team which attended MLG Anaheim~

From left: iSdaisuki, iSEdge, iSNoctis, iSJinn (me) and iSSocrates (my co-manager). Owmygroin is missing from picture because he went home cuz he was too tired T_T

All in all it was a great experience and we all had a super lot of fun. I'd like to thank friends at TL and ESFI World for their help and MLG for making the event so amazing. Also to Justin.tv for the awesome after party without which I wouldn't have had the chance to meet up with so many people I kept missing while busy during MLG itself. I really hope I'd be able to make it to MLG Raleigh~!!

I'll do a writeup sometime later on, maybe when I'm on my 18hour flight back to Singapore this Wednesday. Will update if I do. :D

PS: Please feel free to share the photos with the rest of the community, but please don't crop my watermark away and do credit me if you use them in any articles. Thank you~ :3

Edit:
ESFI World did an interview with Socrates and myself, we talked a little bit about our backgrounds like my air rifle history and our Warcraft 3 team.

It's slightly lengthy but feel free to check it out~ :D

I was with you for the last one! Haha. *EDIT* With you, shindigs, for last one

But mostly behind the iS players watching, tweeting results, checking LiquiPedia for upcoming matches, talking to players. And taking my own amateur photos, double checking to make sure flash wasn't on!

Great photos

FXOtgun attempted to take a photo of me but fails with focusing -_-

Captures that quizzical look that really typifies Jinn. Great catch, tgun!

Oh wow, amazing photos, great job!

This should be spotlighted :3

Sometime, I'm going to have to find a way to make it down to an MLG from Canada, they just seem like so much fun.

Haha thanks!! I use a 1ds MarkIII and a 70-200 2.8. Some shots were also taken with the 85mm 1.8. Not that much editing just tweaked some colours for white balancing/toning.

I say GO FOR IT. The experience was SO awesome it's beyond words. I wish my photos translated half of how amazing it was.

Yeah, I might have to save up money for a while to pay for a hotel and plane tickets, but it seems like it would be a really awesome experience nonetheless. :p
