I let someone from Press (I'm assuming - he got right past security, and into the progamer area) borrow my sharpie the first day, then went over to watch Zero vs Skyhigh and I didn't get it back. That could be one reason I got only pictures and no signatures, but I felt bad enough asking for pictures, that asking for a signature too might have been overkill.

Thanks again Chill, Kennigit and the rest of teamliquid staff + volunteers for setting this up. Was really awesome when CJ came and sat down right next to me lol. The entire meetup was a blast from the Cj trivia to the hilarious commentating all the way through Day 9 commentating the finals.

also THANKS FuddX for bringing the goods!

Lol before I got entirely wasted I tried to help out setting up but I was so mentally gone that I fucked up at getting the projector like 4 times. I made up for it by negotiating with the kitchen staff in Spanish to get bags of ice. It was like this:

Kitchen guy: HEY WHAT YOU DO HERE
me: I just need a bag of ice please
Kitchen guy: LEAVE
me: espera por favor, solamente necesito un bolsito de hielo por favor!
(wait please, all I need is a bag of ice please!)
Kitchen guy: ooh bolsos estan alli, el hielo es en el frente del cocina
(oh the bags are over there, the ice is in front of the kitchen)
me: gracias!
(thanks)

After that I just went back there to get more ice whenever n_n Thanks a lot to Mark (Zealot cosplay guy) for helping me on the second trip!

Props to TL for hosting the even again, I think I only met Kennigit from TL.net, but was cool to see other familiar faces again

I'm delurking just to thank TL.net for putting this on. It was, without a doubt, the highlight of my entire Blizzcon trip. Mega props to the CJ team for showing up and being ultra cool, and thanks to Ret, InControl, Day9, and whoever else was up there for the other entertainment before and during the finals.

TL rules!

This was my first experience at a starcraft community meetup. I had a fantastic time even though I left before the games started. CJ trivia, m0nion vs. incontrol -> ret taking over then idra vs machine commentated by incontrol was hilarious. gg everyone!

Teamliquid Is THE BEST SITE EVER Nuff said.

No thank you so much to Kennigit and Chill wow what great guys we have here. Just thinking about it is amazing these guys while other things are going on are setting up a party for us. Sure they get to hang out and watch games visit and meet pro gammers but they could have done all that without the headache of getting the party going.Just wow. 100,000,000,000 hugs and loves fgrom me to you all thank you for giving me a place to say a thing or two and listen alot in the last 7 years Ive been here. I love this site and the people who make it so lovable.

Thanks guys.

Baked goods are always a good thing to bring when video game nerds unite.

I was almost too drunk not to remember this - but not quite. I had a blast. Possibly the icing on the cake that was Blizzcon. I can't wait till esports is more popular and this kind of event is more commonplace.

Fixed that for you. At least that's how I feel, anyway.
