I was in the main crowd at Blizzcon last night and it was the greatest experience of my life. Easily the most fun thing I've ever been a part of. I sadly do not get to go to any MLGs, so this is my one nerd indulgence of the year. I had noticed throughout the day at the Blizzcon Invitational games that the crowd appeared to be a little dead. Even for the last game of Dimaga vs ToodMing, the crowd was a bit muted.

What some of you may not realize is that most of the quiet crowds for the Invitational are because of the numerous other things to do at Blizzcon that are stealing devoted, rabid, cheering nerds from the crowds. Even during Dimaga/ToodMing, the Costume and Dance contests were taking place. Once that ended though, the crowd started growing and growing in front of the stage. Even the aisles were taken up, much to the chagrin I'm sure of the fire marshals.

MMA was the crowd favorite and appeared to feed off the energy of the crowd more than MVP. You can see in his eyes that he absolutely adores coming to foreign events because of the fans. The standing ovation for Nick and Dan? You could see the overwhelming energy knocked them back a little bit and clearly moved them. Even the Korean commentators didn't quite know what to do with us, but eventually started to really have fun and pander to us a bit.

The series may have been 4-1 but the games, while short, were still tense at moments which made it fun. It was so great to be able to watch the games with fellow nerds, talk strategy in between games, and just overall have community with the SC community. You could tell that the louder we got, the bolder we became to get even louder.

We wanted to show the World that the Koreans may have the best players, but Foreigners have the best fans. I'm really hoping that they bring the GSL finals overseas again, perhaps even with other GSL leagues like the team league.

I loved it, and MMA is a total nerd baller. His calm under pressure was amazing, and his tactical play was brilliant. The bold gamble in G1, the flank in G2, keeping his cool after G3 for the great contain in G4, and then the nailbiting nukes vs BCs baserace for the championship. Congrats to MMA for a great series and a place in GSL history!
