Notes:
CONTAINS SPOILERS!!
Here are my large sized photos from the NATE MSL finals 2009/10. I hope you enjoy them and please comment if you can. I had a decent time relaying all the drama to everyone and photographing the event despite my headache. It was my first time in a studios as huge as MBC and also seeing a blue screen studios at work 
|
Nice photos. I didn't watch the ceremony afterwards so this was great, thanks!

Weird bunny rabbit victory pose.

JD practiced his ass off, but I don't agree the way he won this title at all. :/ edit: Great photo's never the less
|
Great pics, hopefully you're feeling better now the whole final drama's over with

Jaedong: Thank you MBC for making the "best" MSL ever. I am truely "happy" that I "defeated" Flash in game 3 so soundingly. + Show Spoiler +
Thanks for the pics NeverGG! They're all really good.
|
Hopefully you're feeling better. Great pics, I love the last one of JD...
|
Thanks for the coverage. Now I know what the ceremony looked like because I immediately closed the stream after the fourth in a mixture of rage and disappointment.
The photos really look great. That blue screen makes everything look so surreal though, I hope they never ever ever do this again.

Nice to see both players smiling in the end, after all the drama.

Flash noticed he wasn't invincible, hence the smile.

I wasn't about to step into that situation and take photos. I felt it was disrespectful and also as someone who doesn't speak much Korean I didn't want to get into trouble for lurking around during an important and tense time.
Come on guys - 19 comments? I worked really hard on these photos -_-;
|
Great work as always! Loved the one with JD getting tossed in the air

Great photos NeverGG! Pity that the recent controversy is pseudo-overshadowing them. :[
|
I thought the tital meant "NeverGG's Bowl-Cut"
Good pictures =D. Thankyouverymuch.
|
For some reason, this image is epic. Maybe it's because it captures the whole 'winner' atmosphere. Great pics NeverGG, thanks for sharing!
|
Awesome pics as always. Really love the one of Jaedong being tossed into the air with the confetti in background, that could win an award Also, thanks for those live updates last night over the stream they were really helpful in that downtime.

Maybe it's because you can see Jaedong's underwear.
great pics nevergg, and thanks for the live reporting when none of us had any idea what was going on
|
Thanks for the photos, videos, and relaying of info! Felt like I was there for a bit
|
Amazing Pictures like always Nevergg and Thanks cus you were on vent telling everything and that helped a lot (fucking 1 hour betwen games...lol).
Thx and if isnt to much... Can I ask if you will take photos of Khan? again? like when you first started to take pictures of progamers you were almost a Khan fangirl (always amazing pictures)
|
Great great pics, good job

Thanks for the photos, and for keeping everyone updated through vent

I loved the black and white photo of Jaedong holding the prize with his eyes closed.
Very beautiful photos Never GG.
|
Thanks for the photos and your hard work NeverGG!
Really like this one:
|
I love the pic of Jaedong getting thrown in the air. ^_^ It's so cheerful and erases the drama of the day. Thanks for the pics, they're all amazing.
|
Thanks NeverGG! Agree with some others that then picture with Jaedong being flung in the air is superb.

Anyway thanks for the coverage Never! Great pics as usual

hey nevergg i have a question: was the "virtual studio" located far from the spectators? because the way people have been raving mad about it, it seems like the two were sequestered off far away into some underground bunker. but if it wasn't too far off then the "virtual studio" could just be seen as an expanded starcraft booth
|
Yeah I was kinda curious how that whole situation worked. Thanks for the pics as always!

As I've mentioned before in the other thread the set up was;
Press room was in a studio which also contained the blue screen where the players played. We were about 20 foot away from them. They were not in booths and the sound protection was just their headphones. During the matches all us press were locked inside with them under security guard. It was about 2 minutes walk down a corridor from the studio with the audience and mcs.

thanks for the pics!! i hope JD was able to celebrate properly, he seemed to be unhappy =/

Great pictures, thanks ! I think only fans think that said players are invincible. Players know well enough they are not.
|
Thanks for the pics! I reallly want to hear JD and Flash speak about this
|
|
yay.
after about couple of years just trolling here as an outsider. i've finally bothered to sign up
that's for the awesome photos! i quite enjoyed last nights finals. epic of mammoth proportions. =D

Yeah the only person who can take him down is KeSPA

Nice pictures. The one of him getting thrown up by teammates is my favorite.

I'm glad Flash still looks happy. Many thanks for your work and please keep in mind that there are about 87 threads about the final around- hence the low comment count here. *cheers*

great job

great photos. even tho jaedong didnt look too happy in the vid after the game, his emotion comes through in these
also thanks for update on what was happenin after game 3. sexy voice -_-

Given the hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars I've spent on doing this work I think a comment only takes a couple of seconds to type. Please don't say this kind of thing - if you're being sarcastic it's not very kind.

The combination was a Canon EOS5D and the 70-200mm L Class IS USM f/2.8

More amazing photos, thank you 
Good to see both players smiling.

Great Pics NeverGG!!!!
|
Stunning photos! The one with Jaedong in the air is amazing. I had to do a double take because I thought he was walking up a wall or something. I'm surprised his teammates can toss him that high. The ensuing picture looks like he's about to take a terrible spill. Again, awesome work :D
|
Pro pics. The quality even makes up for you weeing on those cables 
Thanks for sharing.
|
Ooh! Many thanks! Your work is always appreciated~
|
wow nice!
Soon I will have one of these jackets too! :p
|
|
Amazing pics but Jaedong just doesn't look satisfied... I mean when I see people winning starleagues there are oftentimes a lot of tears...and joy...he's like, yeah I got a piece of crystal.
edit: Ok, double checked. In some he seems quite happy. In others he seems more flat...gug.

beautiful pictures! and the hard work getting them is always appreciated

Of course you obviously spent money on equipment and traveling etc. but I imagine you love what you do otherwise you wouldn't put the effort of doing it. You can't be serious that your work makes no sense if you don't get comments on teamliquid? Most people get absolutely no credit for the job they do as a living; Like @mcdonalds forum "hey bro you rly flippin' them burgerz gr8".
I'm not trying to be rude or critize you it's just that I find it weird that you need this sort of approval. You take nice pictures and you get to meet awesome people everyday in a country most of us dream to visit one day. But hey if comments are worth so much, you will get them.
And if I'm wrong and you only do what you do because "somebody has to do it"... well I wouldn't understand why you did it then.

Fantastic photos, as always. Thanks very much.
Good to see Flash and Jaedong both smiling after that.

Always nice to add that caveat before being rude.
How could "I find it weird that you need this sort of approval." be taken any other way. Thats a really shitty thing to say about somebody, especially given she said nothing about needing it at all. She indicated that she was a little miffed at the previous rude asshole and you respond with this.
NeverGG takes some fantastic photos, even if it's her job. Whats more she's kind enough to spend the time uploading them and posting them here. It takes a lot more time and effort than you'd think, and she's not being paid anything for it. The least she deserves is a little credit and praise.

Oh nice. Great job NeverGG. These are really good even though the finals were....
Big props!!!!
|
Thanks for your hard work NeverGG.
Your photos bring the foreigner scene much insight to the Korean league, thanks!

I didn't say anything against that if you read my post. What she does for us and teamliquid is priceless and awesome. I just don't understand the need of getting confirmation that the pictures are good. She is a great part of our community and her pictures are posted in almost every news. Isn't that enough confirmation that what shes doing is appreciated? I guess it's me on a personal level thinking that, and I'm a bit strange.

I love the photos. Really impressive work. I bet the atmosphere is just amazing at these events - you get just a taste of it through the VODs.
|
Great work, really appreciate you bringing us pictures from live at the event. Especially this MSL, personally I was hoping for a shot of Flash's dad taking a swing at one of the KeSPA refs...

Except that never happened. He had to be removed by security, but he didn't try to punch anyone. He was just trying to get closer to the blue screen set and did push people away a bit, but nothing violent. He was really angry though and shouted quite a lot.
|
Good job, NeverGG! I really enjoyed all of the photos. Your work is greatly appreciated and please keep up your hard work!
BTW, I just feel like mentioning that I always associated your username with Newegg. :p
|
thanks for the pics nevergg! also, those picture in the virtual studio are just begging to be photoshopped. perfect bluescreen background :D
|
wow nice photos! did you use something like a 85mm f/2 prime lens?
|
KT seems so despondant -sigh-
|
great photos NeverGG 
if my monitor wasnt so awkwardly wide would def put one as my wallpaper.
|
Very good pics, thank you for all the hard work NeverGG!

Thanks and nope - all were still taken with my 70-200mm f/2.8 IS USM lens. I didn't have time to switch to my other lens during the last part of the finals.

Nice photos. Jaedong and Flash are both winners in my eyes anyway.

I have said it before: I worship at the alter of NeverGG.

Nice pictures. Also, thanks for the live commentary during the hour of craziness. Although I must admit that the accent and then the usage of feet instead of metres was jarring.
