I've never told this story before, but felt enough time has passed that the events won't have been remembered by anyone from MLG Dallas.

This year I attended MLG Dallas with one goal in mind, piss off Liquid`Tyler. I had seen in a recent state of the game at the time that Tyler hates people who give handshakes with no muscle. I knew I had to replicate his worst nightmare at MLG by plaguing him with the worst girly handshake I could muster.

Anyways, when I finally got to MLG with my friend, we made it our goal to find noony. Within minutes of getting in, I saw him. We rushed over to where he and Incontrol were greeting fans, and in the most awkward of fashions I approached him without a word and just stuck out my hand. He relectunatly grabbed it but I didn't grab back, I just let it sit in his hand while he gave me this look of disgust. It was pure satisfaction. Then I stood there for five minutes by them while they talked to other people, and he would not stop staring at me like I had down syndrome. The end.

Pretty random story O.o

If you really wanted to give a girly handshake, you should have just let your hand hang limp, and looked all dainty.

On a side note, I don't get why you'd want to get nony to dislike you. Mission accomplished, I guess. :p

Maybe you just can't comprehend how funny and awkward it was, but I assure you it was well worth it.

OMG I fuckin hate this. its funny because one of the tips for interviews is that you give a firm handshake. I had this interview where the interviewER gave me the limp fish handshake. and she even presented her hand palm down like a princess. and i was like WTF AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS. RAGEEEE. /rant

This sounds like one of those stories that sounds great in your head.

Then when you write it out and people read it, they are in disgust of you.
Jaedong plz
