Full disclosure: I went to MLG officially representing ROOT Gaming (root-gaming.com) so these pictures are centered mostly around the ROOT players as well as anyone else who I saw at the time who looked particularly striking.

I found out how MC controls his units so well, there's three of him in there

I literally have 20 pictures of Idra playing against MC that look exactly like this. His face barely moved an inch the entire time.

Sheth looking like a badass in the final streamed match of the night
The first day of MLG was totally amazing, the energy was great the crowd was cheering every time someone even got a minor advantage over a korean on stage. Was a ton of fun and I should have more pictures for you guys tomorrow but now I need to go sleep.

That was me and my friends that were in the pictures with the Tshirts with Destiny and drewbie. Was awesome meeting them and so much fun to meet everyone behind root. So glad that we made those shirts. Absolutely Priceless. My brother on the left with Destiny and my friend Cary on the right with Drewbie. They both play zerg and terran respectively.  -- Im the huge guy. Should be easy to find haha
