It all started on a Tuesday morning. I had just arrived in Korea the night before to visit my girlfriend for a week, and was a little jet-lagged and weary. My girlfriend was finishing her graduation thesis, and would have absolutely no time for me for the day. I decided to do a little surfing while I waited around, looking for things to do so I wouldn't waste my one week of vacation. I ended up on teamliquid, and lo and behold, there was a post for GSL 3 Prelims D2! After quickly making an account (I've been lurking for over 5 years), I asked if anyone knew where it was taking place. If there was a dedication for this post, it would go to estee, who told me the exact location. I told my gf, and after she gave me a loving "gtfo, I need to concentrate," I was on my way!
I got there at approximately 3PM, and I was not disappinted at all. I got to the 7th floor of Sindorim Techno-Mart, and the elevator doors opened to this:
![[image loading]](http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/2893/imgp0158z.jpg)
Half of an entire mall floor dedicated to e-sports. This was my first live event that I have ever been to, and even being prelims, it was just breathtaking. Rows computers meticulously set-up, players hunched over challenging the physical limits of actions to be taken place by the human hands in a single minute, crowds of spectators and players outside staring at an awkward trying to catch the game of a favorite player... and me!
I looked into the closest glass window and counted myself blessed. The first player I got to take a look at was none other than...
![[image loading]](http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/2669/imgp0160s.jpg)
It was a treat to see HuK, with his HuK pillow peaking underneath from his bag. I stood their just captivated by his hand and screen movements before moving on. I made a quick walk through, and found Team EG at the other end.
![[image loading]](http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/7103/imgp0163x.jpg)
Idra was shaking his head at a game and iNcontroL shadowing over his shoulder. It felt strange seeing these guys up close to me. They always at least had some sort of quasi celebrity status in my mind, but now they were just mere feet away from me, only separated by a thin glass wall.
Well I decided to say screw it to the thin glass wall and made my way into the player zone. I walked amongst the greatest SC2 players mankind has ever known, and they were men, just like you and me. One staff tried to ask me if I was a player, so I inacted the greatest ability that I had, one that trumped the majority of the players there. I quickly spoke English. I didn't have anything prepared, so I just said "I'm with e-sports." It just came blurted out, yet composed. If having a girlfriend in Korea and having had multiple trips to Korea taught me anything, it was that Koreans were afraid of speaking English, especially to strangers. Luckily this case was not an exception, and the guy opened his mouth, let it hang there for a second, shook his head and said "ok," before moving on.
With this I had free reign.
I first made my way over to HuK. I met GimbleB and this Swedish guy (I think), and shortly after Artosis, all watching the showman himself.
![[image loading]](http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/1628/imgp0166e.jpg)
![[image loading]](http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/1681/imgp0168b.jpg)
Artosis was walking around filming some members of interest. The guy is seriously focussed and prompt at giving out good coverage. He was walking up and down and always on the ball, capturing as much as he could on his sweet compact camcorder. On top of that, he's such a nice down to earth guy! Despite being busy, he still gave me his time, answered my questions, and really awesome about it all. If there was some sort of Global Ambassador of Starcraft position, I would give him my vote in a second.
![[image loading]](http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/4706/imgp0169y.jpg)
I had the pleasure of seeing HuK forge in base cannon rushing some chobo on what I think was the third set of the third qualifying match. PvP. HuK has balls, and he knows how to be showy. He made the guy pull most of his probes and kept a big econ advantage. After losing all of his cannons but not his pylon, he made a cannon in base after seeing a zealot and a few probes coming in, then just snuck a probe around and planted 3 more cannons on the high ground, forcing an instant GG. or ㅈㅈ. I gave a quick cheer, and GimbleB quickly gave me a polite "stfu." My bad there, but I couldn't help but be excited watching HuK pull that off.
Artosis or GimbleB then pointed out the window for me to see..

Foxer!! In the pink shirt. In a city where guys mostly dress on the grayscale, Foxer stood out like a sore thumb that was immune to Banelings. More about that later.
![[image loading]](http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/3025/imgp0173x.jpg)
This was where the finals of each group match took place. 8 computers, 8 players at a time potentially, only 4 pass. A true stage for the manliest of men to play on.
![[image loading]](http://img573.imageshack.us/img573/9498/imgp0175.jpg)
I don't know who this guy was, but mein gott he was ESTATIC to qualify! This is one of the parts that I've always missed, having lived events through Teamliquid coverage. I mean, I've seen it in VODs and what not, but I have never been close enough to see the guy jump up, yell out and pump his fist with enough force to shatter the hardest thing a nerd could physically shatter. Live is just something.
![[image loading]](http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/1015/imgp0176.jpg)
This was another moment that was just great. We focus a lot on the big names (and this guy could have been a big name, I wasn't sure), but just walking around the venue, you could catch some really great SC2 everywhere! I watched this guy play some wicked TvT, just demolishing well placed seige tanks with relentless aggressive marine and medivac micro. These treats were just everywhere, you just had to be there, milling about.
![[image loading]](http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/1843/imgp0178h.jpg)
Speaking of treats, I saw a little crowd form. Who could this be?
![[image loading]](http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/4837/imgp0181j.jpg)
I jumped when I saw him. The guy I have admired and copied ever since I had learned of the existence of progaming, the Emperor himself, was right in front of my eyes! I knew I would have to hunt him down before leaving. I had immediately made it a life goal.
![[image loading]](http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/1466/imgp0184.jpg)

Spunky and his gf. Lucky guy, eh? Spunky is seriously one of the nicest guys I have ever met. At this point I had gotton over being starstruck, and had the pleasure of chatting it up with him. He told me he was happy with his team and GSL despite the teamkills. After a few words about this and that, I left knowing that I would be eternally cheering on oGs. Such a nice guy!
![[image loading]](http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/148/imgp0197d.jpg)
Here I got *cough* that guy *cough*, ToRch, Artosis, Idra, Ret, and iNcontroL, checking out group final matches. I snuck my way in, laughed at their English jokes until iNcontroL noticed I was a foreigner, and thrust me into the group. Man those guys are great. I really felt at home there, despite not being being close to a Tier 1 Starcraft player, just a mere fan.
![[image loading]](http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/9060/imgp0200w.jpg)
![[image loading]](http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/1390/imgp0198n.jpg)
I don't know who this guy is, but I watched one of the most entertaining macro/micro games of the day on his screen. In a PvZ, they were trading back and forth over and over. Finally two huge armies came face to face, Collosus Stalker HT on one side, and mass Ultra Roach and maybe ling or hydra on the other. They met at a pretty wide choke and blasted away. With Collosi in the back, HT in the middle and Stalker at the front, this guy quickly blew through his storm, blinked the Stalkers behind the HT, and made archons to create this weird Archon morphing wall. With creep spread, you would think that the Zerg army would run over this composition, but the morphing in Archons made the Ultras stuck long enough for the Stalkers to make mincemeat out of them and come on top of the battle with a huge supply advantage. I cannot tell whether it was on purpose or a beautiful flue, but it was quite a game to watch.

HuK setting up for the finals.

Artosis deligently interviewing a winner, and calling BS on the guy's "I got lucky."
![[image loading]](http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/5471/imgp0204l.jpg)
Foxer watching his Primates (hahaha). I swear, since the addition of Foxer, Banelings just do not work on Terran Primes. It was sweet watching the games. Seiged tanks in front of Bioballs, last second medivac pickups to avoid Baneling death while maximizing kills. Watching Primes is just great.
![[image loading]](http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/7461/imgp0205h.jpg)
Idra playing the finals. I just found out here that he plays on lowest graphics settings. I found that really surprising. TorcH told me why he does it, told me how medium would probably be best, being able to see cloaked units and FF must easier while not being distracted from the excess graphics of high settings. It was really nice to hear insight from the Pros. I was talking to Ret while we were watching the 3rd set of HuK vs Aya, and listening to him telling me how the Terran army composition was just solid for Scrap Station and why was just awesome. I felt like I had a much better understanding of the game just by having a few minutes of conversation with these guys while watching the game in real time.
I also have to let you guys all know, HuK is just awesome. Despite losing a really tough game and not qualifying, the guy just walked right over to his opponent and shook his hand, congratulating hin on qualifying. It was painfully clear how bummed out he was, but he kept composure and sportsmanship to the end. Through the many hours that I was there, I have never seen anyone else do that. I tip my hat off to you HuK!

July and his single entourage. That guy looks fierce up close!
![[image loading]](http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/5418/imgp0212a.jpg)
My Gem of the night! Meeting Boxer, shaking his hand and having a chat with him was just awesome! Despite having superstar status among these guys, he is the most down to earth man ever. Actually, he actually seemed afraid of me and my English, and was just flustered after HuK was like "Why no smile Boxer?" I met his fiance too, and she's just a great girl. I switched to Korean and we chatted a bit, and I just had the time of my life, meeting and talking with my idol. I wish the Slayers Clan and soon Team the best of luck!
![[image loading]](http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/7611/imgp0213.jpg)
Me and a bunch of white guys, wooo!
![[image loading]](http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/2948/imgp0214.jpg)
Me and the soon rising star of Slayer clan! This guy is awesome... but I seriously have to write down his name. I'm going to have to troll until I find it again. He's really fun to chat with and I'll cheer for him when he qualifies... in season 4.
![[image loading]](http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/8360/imgp0215.jpg)
I caught Foxer eating a donut and pulled him aside for a picture. At this point I was glad that Koreans were too afraid to approach the stars and ask for pictures, as there would probably be some sort of huge queue. Foxer is a shy guy (to foreigners I guess), but he's great none the less.
![[image loading]](http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/6876/imgp0216q.jpg)
Me and the sexiest man alive! I can't even start to think of what to write, as July is just such a fun guy! Not a lick of English, but he knew how to chat it up none the less.
![[image loading]](http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/5980/imgp0219.jpg)
My finals picture is with GimbleB and Cella. Cella is like a literal bridge between Foreigners and Koreans along with Spunky. He helped me through quite a conversations with progamers. I have to buy this guy a drink later on for sure.
Well, that's it for now as I'm short on time. I also had the treat of going over to the oGs-Liquid house the next day, and I'll write more on that later.
Take it easy TL, peace out!

Wow, awesome post, read it all. I wish I could do something similar one day, but I don't think it will be possible. Korea's just to far, and expensive, and they don't have MLG events in Vancouver from what I know. ='(
Aww well, awesome post a great pictures. Neat to know that a lot of the Koreans are down to earth. =)

awesome read. waiting for your oGs-Liquid house report!
|
Happy birthday! It's so tempting to just go to korea myself and have a nice little adventure especially after reading all those awesome storys. Too bad I'm poor ;_;
|
Very nice read! Awesome pics man. Not afraid to approach these players and take pics, huge props. If you're ever at sc events again, definitely make another post just like this!
|
|
|
Why do I have this feeling I should screw work buy myself a ticket and fly to Korea? Damned I liked reading this thread.
You are a god amongst gods, Richard.
|
Wow that is so awesome! Thanks for sharing. Huge kudos to you and the gamers you met, you all sound like awesome blokes.
|
Your are awesome. Thanks!
It's funny how you describe the Emperor and the Mini-Emperor :D
|
Always awesome to see different perspectives of the qualifiers, maybe one day I'll be able to head down there and meet everyone...
|
Wow amazing post.
Foxer looks so girly lol.
|
What a great post. Thanks for all of the cool pics and insight.
|
Haha awesomel! And I'm so jealous.
Foxers pink hoodie ftw!
|
Foxer wears pink. Is like 5 feet high. Weights like 100 pounds. Draws a heart of suply depots during a sc2 match.
Yah he is a girl...

|
What an awesome read, very well written and awesome pictures. Thanks man!
Oh and Happy Birthday!

Awesome post thx =)
My holidays for this summer will definitely be Korea. =)
Do you think Seoul or Busan will be the best for things about sc2 ?
|
awesome. i'm pretty jealous !
|
Great stuff and amazingly well written.
Seriously can't wait for more - thumbs up! Made my day^^
|
Wowww that must have been an amazing experience, what a dream!! Thanks for posting, I feel like I was there with you
|
That was a fantastic read, really! One day i'll be there and I hope my experience is is just as amazing. :D
Can't believe you just walked in and got pictures taken with Boxer, Foxer, July etc.. I'll remember that, '"I'm with e-sports." Haha!
|
Wow looked like a great time getting to meet all the sc2 big names especially the emperor!
|
Wow, awesome story and pictures. Thanks for sharing
|
That's so cool, thank you for posting this. I love seeing posts like this, where you can see the stars be normal people. You're a really lucky guy /jealous
|
Honestly best 3rd post ever made. Just curious why people lurk on TL for years but never post? Is it very intimidating? I guess the reason I lurked for so long is because I thought I could not input anything useful, or give anything to the community.
|
happy birthday sir
from one retired lurker to another, welcome to TL!

I lurked around on these forums since 2003/2004, and just recently signed up. There were a lot of reasons why, I guess, mostly what you say about not having something relevant/useful to post. I felt pretty much like just an average fan. Also back then I was rather shy, even on Internetforums
|
A really good post, made me feel like I was there... Unfortunately that won't ever happen
|
i never really envisioned how it would be to go but i probably wouldn't have imagined it as amazing as your pictures look like. also your post itself is great, really nice writeup and nice balance of text and pictures.
|
|
|
Great read. Reading through it reminds me of my tournament's days. I miss those days though I'd never play CS again
GSL is truelly kick ass. By the way, you really have great writting skills. Entertaining read till the end.

quick thinking there with the "im with esports" lol. nice pic's always enjoy the insider type stuff seeing gamers. cella sighting is pretty cool too hehe.

"A winner" = Sen ?
Awesome pictures mate!
|
I am beyond jealous of you... so lucky what I would do to be able to ask IdrA a few questions about zerg play.
Great post love the witty comments and pictures!
|
Awsome post Richard, as said before very well written and excellent pics+story.
Happy Birthday man
|
These look great. I hope I can go visit there someday
|
Dude, my envy of you has no bounds. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
J/K, <3 every one of the pics, especially the ones with July and Cella. I sincerely hope Cella does well and finds a really good team because he's an absolute baller of a guy. I was so bummed to see him not qualify  .
|
Wow what an awesome day you had! Can't wait to read the rest!
|
Super duper awesome ^^ Kudos to you for bringing and sharing this up.
I really envy you that you can be there in Korea for this ^^
One day I will be there
|
Awesome coverage there Really sets a scene that i'm sure many have been curious of.
|
So you just casually bluffed your way inside and took pictures and had a chat with all the pros? RESPECT dude! That's quite a baller move you pulled there, awesome
Foxer looks like he might break if he smiles a bit more. July just looks awesome. I really hope he goes far this GSL!
What's up with most Asian people sticking up 2 fingers? I was in Japan last week and everybody was doing it over there also. Just an optional social convention or does it mean anything (other than victory). Because the reason given on wikipedia seems somewhat far fetched...
In short: Awesome pictures!
|
Thank you for that great post!
|
Jealous.
So jealous.
But you don't know Sen?
Shame on you! :D
|
Wowowowow nice.
I would have probably been one of the Koreans "too afraid to approach the stars and ask for pictures," hahaha..
|
Really looking forward to hearing about your TL-OGS house experience.
|
July Zerg pimpin it up! I love it.
|
very awesome story and pics man

I WANT TO MEET FOXER. D:

...Also happy birthday... I guess?
|
Happy birthday. and Awesome post man.
Damn I'm jealous.
|
Perfect except one thing:
I'd definitely try myself on qualifiers. Definitely. Playing on that stage would be too enjoyable experience. Even if this means getting chobostomped.
Anyway, I'm so fucking jealous, damn !!!

I love the insight. I really hope I can go experience this one day

Happy birthday man. Great post good side coverage. you also have balls im not sure if i would be strong enough to approch the emperor or julyzerg :D good stuff. good to see cella being awesome aswell.
|
Awesome write up! Well down! Hopefully I will save a similar experience of the GSL one day when I'm not broke lol.
|
If this was a blog it would be instant 5 stars, what a fantastic read. :D
Seems like you had a great experience. "I'm with esports", hilarious.
Edit:
Huge props to the players both foreign and Korean for being such great ambassadors for e-sports too.
|
You're so lucky you got to meet july and boxer!!! Thanks for the pictures and read ^^
|
Great read. Really well written and great pohots!
Thanks!
|
Nice thread, loved the July picture
|
Foxer and Huk's pillow matched!
|
so awesome one day i hope to fly over and spend a month watching an entire season like this. im a terrible player, but i would love to be there just for the experience and atmosphere :D
so great that all the people just embraced that you were there, even if you weren't playing. they still made time for you and thats what makes the SC community so damn good.
and getting to meet Cella musta been so sweet (all the others too ). the dedication he brings to TL with interaction and bridging the language barriers are fantastic. he realises the potential of the foreign market and the world cultures
thanks for this, and happy birthday dude!!
|
WOWOWOW, that was alot of pure win!
Thanks for the awesome write up OP!
|
|
|
I'm jealous.

|

|
Great read, awesome, it must of been so intense meeting the emperor. I would of been nervous as hell. Was it really that easy to approach the pros?

Awsome post, very nice read. it felt like i was there myself but sadly I wasnt
I rly believe that talking to a pro explaining u the stuff live is worth palying 1000 ladder games only considering the understanding u gain about the game
|
sick contrast with huk being bummed out and idra smiling while hugging, lol.
|
Sounds like you had a great time. :o Happy birthday!
That guy would be Sen. He's always modest.

Thanks alot for the pictures! Must have been amazing meeting boxer after being a huge fan for such a long time.
|
Great read! :D
Love all the pictures! JULYYYYYY <3
|
That is absolutely awesome dude. So jealous right now.
|

Great post! July and Cella just seem like really cool and fun guys to meet, and chilling with the foreigners must have been a blast. Kudos on being adventurous and getting in the middle of everyone.
"I'm with e-sports" lol. That should be your sig.

Your entire thread is awesome ! Waiting the other one for sure !

Awesome awesome post! Anytime someone asks me something that I feel giving the answer to would be detrimental I will now answer "I'm with esports". lol
|
Now we need a picture of Ret on TeamLiquid.net checking out his picture of him checking out TeamLiquid.net!
|
I love those thread - this is the best type of coverage possible
|
Foxer's pants are too tight!

Ok, I've come to the conclusion that I might overuse the word "Awesome" a little too much. But here it goes:
AWESOME
AWESOME
AWESOME
Oh man, we really need more people like you around. This is what glorifies TL as a whole!

Awesome! I cant wait for Ogs Liquid house report!

Ahhh Foxer so cute.
|
Really amazing post and read, after reading this I want to get on a plane and fly to korea.
|
Great read. Must have been awesome to meet all those people in such short time. Good to hear stuff about GimbleB too, tell him to get on IRC or Facebook.
|
This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
|
Very awesome post man loved every word and picture of it
Your so lucky xD Got to meet so many awesome cool people!
Wish Huk advanced though... he looked so bumed out
|
One word to describe this blog: epic
|
Awesome pictures! I definitely envy you, lol..
|
So so so great! I loved every minute of reading this! You had such a great opportunity and you definitely made the most of it! "I'm with E-SPORTS" --LOL
You are my hero! Can't wait till your next post about the oGs-Liquid house.

I didn't read through all the comments but im sure i will mimic a lot of people by saying i am way jealous... maybe someday lol

And of course, lol at "Im with e-sport"

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this, such great pics and narration, well done indeed!

Cool post! Foxer is really short and girly looking. Weird.
|
Great post! I'm going to teach English in Korea in February, I'll definitely have to try your hilarious "I'm with esports" line at some point and check one of these out first hand.
|
|
|
This was so cool to read! I'm extremely jealous that you got to meet all of these people and be around them for this huge event. Someday I would love to go to Korea and experience all of this too but I don't think that it's in the cards lol.

Great read @OP.. must have been so much fun. =)
|
omg i love all the pictures hahahahah huk saying why no smile.
|
Awesome! Thanks for all the pics and descriptions
|
Thanks for the tour, Richard
|
Awesome read! This is what's great about the starcraft community, as opposed to, say, the call of duty community, where the only words people know are gay, fag, lag, and hacker.
|
Cool pics! By the way "that guy winning" is Sen, a very well known Taiwanese player. And you mentioned talking to some swedish guy(s) well that was probably Haypro and/or Jinro, who both qualified and are worthy of your knowing their name :D
|
I want to go to the qualifiers SO badly, you made it look absolutely amazing.
|
Awesome post! Thanks for sharing your experience--it's what most of us at TL will ever only dream about.
|
Hahahaha "I'm with esports" thats gold!
You're so lucky
I'm jealous :D

|
Awesome post man! So cool.
|
You sir, are one of the luckiest men alive! Not to mention the ballsiest! I think you are now instantly an idol and a legend on TL! I read this entire thread to see if Artosis or somebody posted in it.
Did you get to touch HuK's pillow?
|
Interesting. Sounds like quite the experience. Thanks for posting!
|
it's so awesome to hear that everyone in pro gaming is so nice!
great post!
|
Wow this is awesome. I'm so jealous for being able to have that experience. Thanks for the great pictures!
|
Super-awesome post! TY so much for sharing!!
I guess the only thing that could've topped the experience you had was to actually have registered in time to play! It would've been a blast to be seeded against a "known" player. :D
Thx again.
|
Great read, and great move bluffign yourtself in ^^
|
Man I hope you go to GSL qualifiers 4, because this is some awesome coverage.
|
These pics really helped me feel what it was like being there. I thoroughly enjoyed them! Thanks!
|
Keep up the good work man :D
Really awesome pictures, thanks a lot!!!
|
Awesome read. I love hearing about how nice everyone in the foreigner community is. Even these big name guys like Ret, Artosis, and iNcontroL seem to love just chatting and meeting people from the community.
|
This was a great read man made my morning. Congrats on all the fun you had and THANKS for sharing seriously!.... next time you should throw down and compete! lol
|
Was a great read. Glad to see you had a fun time there, and thanks for the post =D

Wow thanks for sharing this nice story Very good pictures
My favorite pic is the one with Cella and GimbleB.
|
sweet pics, read the whole thing - thanks for sharing
|
Amazing post! Great description, really makes me feel like I was there too.
|
What a great read, happy that your gsl 3 experience was so great richard!
|
Thanks for all of the pictures and the great writeup! I'm really glad that the pros are so approachable, that is what truly makes SC2 as an esport great.
|
Great read, loved all the pictures.
I like Foxer even more for what he's wearing :DDDD What does it say on his hoodie?
|
man seriously i have nothing against Foxer, and he is a great player and all but there is something weirdo about that guy, he looks so feminine in the picture, not only the pink clothing but his pants, shoes, the way he stands, really weird in that picture with our poster
|
Very good read, it sounded like fun! Maybe someday I'll go to Korea for some E-sports fun...
|
Thanks for this.
"I'm with e-sports." LMAO.
I bet the reason there weren't queues to all the pros was because the regular people weren't allowed in the 'gaming' zone?
|
|
|
Man you look so like a korean Andy Richter (although a lot thinner), it's really quite scary.
Glad you had fun though.

this is an incredible post! Im so envious of you hahaha! Quick thinking with the e-sports excuse!
thank you for such an interesting read
|
I'm so jealous, looks like a lot of fun!
|
Amazing post, thanks alot for writing this!
I can't wait to see the post from the ogstl house.
PS: I envy you
|
Good stuff man, this is pure "community". Look forward to seeing more if at all possible!
|
Ohh man i'm so jealous! Congrats on meeting the Emperor.
|
HuK really should drop the hood... and the signs !
I mean honestly, do you think e-sports will take off if "known players" that could get media attention act like a bunch of wiggers on camera ?
User was warned for this post
|
Omg this was such an awesome read! I'm so jealous of you.
|
Its posts like these that I lurk on TL all the time. This was a splendid read.

This is probably the best GSL thread I've read so far and one of the most enjoyable posts I've seen on TL. My hat is off to you, my good sir. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
On a related note, I felt too awkward to walk up to all the guys at MLG Dallas. I'm not an introvert or anything, it's just that I didn't want to bother them since I figured they'd be tired of getting mobbed. I know iNcontroL and a few others say they love to talk to people and that (by the way, awesome of him that he pulled you into the group -- he's a great guy and I am continually surprised that people trash him sometimes), but I didn't want to annoy them after all of the rounds they'd just went through. But, hey, I sure as hell plan to go to more events! :D

Totally agree, hence I propose that from now on all players must wear a suit and a tie to their games, and speak with a posh british accent. All other hoodlum-ish behaviour will be fined by the players association.
Edit: also huge props to op for bringing us awesome coverage.
|
That's so awesome ! I hope I can go to Korea one day...
|
Much respect for the post. And much respect for anyone wearing a hoodie and using signs while getting media attention.
|
Wow man what an awesome post!!!!!!!! Thanks!
|
Was worth the 5 year wait for a post of this quality and dedication to a game thats barely out 4 months. I am serisouly thinking of going to an mlg or gls tournament in spring/summer next year. If GimbleB can step up so can i.
Scotland baby
|
great post! except...
"Here I got *cough* that guy *cough*, ToRch, Artosis, Idra, Ret, and iNcontroL, checking out group final matches. I snuck my way in, laughed at their English jokes until iNcontroL noticed I was a foreigner, and thrust me into the group. Man those guys are great. I really felt at home there, despite not being being close to a Tier 1 Starcraft player, just a mere fan."
I love how you NEVER mention Sen in that picture and the one where artosis is actually camming him =[
and foxer looks so funny in the picture with you and him lol
once again, great post =]
|
Really awesome read and pictures, wish I was there. that's really cool using his archons for a wall lol.
|
You are so lucky and this is so awesome ! Great read, thanks for providing this, and these very cool, very nice pictures! more pictures please !
Have fun in korea! Man you are so lucky you got to meet boxer, julyzerg, and all the others, I envy you my friend.
|
|
|
July is so freaking awesome
|
Awesome post, I think I'll make it a point to get to an MLG next season. But I'd really like to meet BoxeR. I can't imagine why I would ever be in Korea, but maybe one day right? Maybe he'll come to another American event like Blizzcon.
|
this is really cool, its awesome that you got to meet cella, i def want to visit korea one day. i know exactly how you felt when you entered that room and saw all the stars youve been watching for a while. its awesome
|
so cool! JULY? BOXER? CELLA? FOXER?
I hate you, OP.
|
InControl's hands are bigger than Idra's entire body
|
Too much awesome for one post.
Nice to see that the players were chill enough to pose for pictures at such a high stress event.
|
Very cool post!
Thanks a lot for sharing all this!
How have I never seen that? Dear god LOL!

Lol, Foxer ... fake girl

WOWWOOW awesome!! UR 1 LUCKY DUDE!!

This is astonishing to me, I remember seeing your post while trolling the d2 qualifying thread and calling bull shit. HOWEVER it turned into one of the best experience posts I have read!
|
awesome read, I hope you do another like this

That is just so amazingly cool.
Left ball to ever experience that man.

WHOA. Dude that is awesome. I wish I could go to Korea and just crash the qualifiers. ^^
Cella is such a baller...
|
"I'm with e-sports."
Pretty badass way to just waltz right in.
|
Best post I've read in a long while. Thanks for posting this.
|
They should just let the few foreign people in as long as they are not obnoxious... theres probably only a dozen or so right?, the koreans get plenty of coverage I bet >_>
|
Awesome read thanks for putting your time into it
|
Exellenty, puts some more human behind these monsters of sc.

looks like you had a great time, thanks for sharing

Really cool stuff, thanks for sharing your experience with us.
|
Holy crap I loved this post. So awesome.
Great write-up.
|
I can't even begin to put into words my reaction to this
Great post.
|
great blog! hope you enjoyed it!
|
Wow. Awesome times, it looks like!
I've met Boxer and Artosis before as well. Boxer is so considerate to his fans, it's amazing. Just seeing him around fans is enough to make you realize why he's the face of Korean esports, and how and why BW became so big. When I met him, he literally had to be dragged away from his fans lining up by Oov, and he was apologizing as he was being dragged by the arm.
Artosis is a chill guy. I don't think you'll meet anyone who loves SC in general as much as that guy does. (:

damn i've wanted to meet July since before I can remember.....

I'm so freaking jealous!
I mean, I don't believe I will ever get the chance to hang out with players of this caliber, nor to be at an event of this size, but thanks for sharing this experience with us!
Ps. iNcontroL you're the man!
|
Hey Richard, just wanted to say it was nice meeting you at the event and hope to see you around at some more events in the future. Thanks for the picture, definate facebook material right there. :D
|
how come HuK wasn't sitting on his pillow!!!!!RAWR!!!!nah i love him, he is my idol.
|
Oh man I'm so jealous. I wanna go to Korea even more after reading this!
Great pics man, thanks for the post!
|
|
|
Awesome write up!
I'm extremely envious. I'm hoping to get over to Korea this summer, but I'm worried that the scene will have blown up so much by then that I won't get the chance to talk to anyone man to man like you did because they'll all be so busy.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
|
got chills when the emperor came up. kudos!
|
Such a cool experience, its great you posted it ^___^
|
ROFLMAO Julyzerg looks precious
|
Amazing experience, sir. I also have to congratulate you on your bravery, even if I was there I would chicken out and not speak with anyone famous.
|
Oh wow, awesome! Excellent pictures in there, dude. You're so lucky!
|
Awesome, awesome, awesome =)
I love how your signature is "I'm with e-sports".
|
Hey Richard good seeing you alive - I got sick and decided not to bring the cold to the whole oGs house but I hope you had fun - hit me back still in Korea o_o
|
|
|
Man, that is so cool, and Happy Birthday! I hope that SCII progaming becomes more and more popular in the states in the years to come!
|
Wow, you got to meet the man, the myth, the legend, the Emperor.
Eternal jealousy on your house!
|
Very very nice read ! I'm pretty new in the tl.net community and came by in september during the wave of new players interested in SC2 and i already love it here. I'm so jealous you got a pic with the emperor and Cella damn ! Sweet !

Quality post right there! a very interesting read mate!

Wow! I did not expect to be Spotlighted or have this much response at all. It was already a pleasure to share my experience, but you all brought it to a whole new level!
Thanks again to estee for pointing me in the right direction, you're awesome man =)
Thanks to the Admins for Spotlighting my post for TL to see! Thanks to all of you for your wonderful compliments and the birthday wishes, and enjoying my post so much, that was just great XD. And thanks for the signature suggestion, it has been done!
Now to address a few things:
1. I'm sorry I didn't know who you were Sen!! You look like a really cool guy, let's hang out next time I'm there!
2. Foxer is girly, but has no ass. It's just flat as a board there. Nothing dividing his ass bones from the chair save some skin. But putting that aside, he definitely has a distinct personality that will forever set him aside from other progamers, so I really don't mind his choice of style. He's already proven he has rather large balls anyways =p
3. My friend has called me Richter for 6 years. A few people have agreed that I share some features with Mr. Andy Richter, but I guess it's official when you hear it from TL!
4. It was really nice meeting you guys GimbleB and Carefoot. I hope training is going well. Have a great experience in Korea, and lots of fun! Sorry to hear about the cold buddy.
With such great response and support, I'll do my best to attend some events and give you all the amateur update =p. Until then, take it easy and remember:
I'm with e-sports
|
Tremendous blog! Must have been a lot of fun to go meet those guys. I'm crazy jealous of you're seemingly common trips to Korea. I've never left Canada, so pretty much anything concerning Europe or Asia seems like another world. Are you still living in Canada? Those plane trips must be brutal >.<
|
Sweet would be so awesome to get to meet the emperor
|
I wanna hang out with boxer(slayers) and julyzerg also :<<< and get drunk with cella :DDD
|
Nice write up! Thank you for posting pictures too since it makes the reading experience way more enjoyable. If only I had time to practice and travel to Korea to try my luck out =[
|
|
|
Great. Thank for for this post :D
Cool to see July, hope he gets into GSL4
|
Amazing, I could feel your excitement as I was reading it. Totally jealous!
|
Wow - what an awesome experience you had!! Thanks for sharing!
Good write up as well. Kept me reading the whole time.
|
Hey hey hey, this post rules every day.
|
EPIC WHITE SOX FAN IN KOREA!!! Im a huge sports fan and my fav team of all time is the White Sox, I was so surprised to see that. All these pics are awesome I really want some sort of MLg to come to Chicago so i can meet some of these people
|
Nice write-up, spectacular pics. GL to your GF on her thesis.
Needless to say, TL envies you.
|
Damn man envioussssssssssss. Sweet pictures and looks like a crazy time. lucky you, and damn nice one spunky
|
Richard...you are awesome......Thanks for this...really.
|
Dude this post is like my dream
|
Wow, this makes me want to practice and attend a GSL so bad. Bah.. maybe in the future.
|
Epic!! hopefully one day i make it to Korea and be at a qualifier and meet all these people!! So awesome!!!
|
lol i would love to meet cella in person
|
Great topic, kind of capturing the whole festival feeling of the event for us people stuck in cold, snowy europa.
Them some nice guys !
|
This is awesomeness. This is the type of thing that is just so much fun to see and read. I love the pictures and insight. I have never been into esports at all until Starcraft 2 came out. I play games quite often, but never payed attention to the professional scene. I stumbled upon TL after SC2 came out and have been since completely sucked in. I spend more time watching other people play than I do myself. Friends and family who don't understand think I'm insane. Bad enough wasting time on games, but watching others play games? Anyways, thanks for the behind the scenes look at GSL. Awesome work! I wish there was more out there like it.
|
WoW! this was an awesome post, thanks a ton man.
.....I'm so jealous. lol.
