Maybe you went to MLG and you got to have a cool photo with a smiling Day9 or you ran into Goody walking very slowly in a determined mechanical fashion down the street or perhaps you even made some trolling joke towards WhiteRa about special tactics only to have him smile and say something really nice to you, if any of these or similar situations have happened then this is the thread for you!
This will be a thread to share your experiences with meeting the pros or special names of the SC2 (or even BW) community. Perhaps you have a cool photo to show or you have an opinion of a player after you met them or maybe you just want to tell your story, these are all welcome here.
I made this thread because tonight I was a little starstruck (and of course I searched on TL for a similar thread but I couldn't find one so why not make it, I'm sure there are plenty of people that have been in the same situation as me and would like to share it).
I went out here in Mannheim, Germany to a restaurant in Paradeplatz where they have a buffet and after stuffing my face I got up to pay my bill and I noticed a surprisingly tall blond guy (I know what you're thinking, all Germans look like that, it's not the case but whatever). to who I think I said far too loud "Hasuobs?". The girl that he was with (what a pimp) gave a giggle like this happens all the time and he said Hey and shook my hand which I didn't expect but was happy about. What followed was something reminiscent of an 8 year old kid meeting someone like Rafael Nadal or Sebastian Vettel. I introduced myself as Pete (why on earth would that be important?!) and he said something in German to which I answered "I'm sorry I don't speak much German, I'm from Australia". He gave surprised look like he was baffled there was an Australian who recognised him in Germany and said "Oh!" and although he can speak english I think he didn't know what else to say, neither did I, my mind had frozen with the experience of meeting my first SC2 progamer, I started to head towards the counter and him towards the tables and I just said "Have a nice night!". What an exciting story! Well... it was exciting for me anyway.
He seemed like a really nice guy and my final thought was "fuck, I left my camera at home, but I met Hasuobs, cool!"
Edit: I didn't even realise that I was making my first SC2 thread on my 200th post, yay, all the more important!

Back in March we had a little tourney here in Arizona and EGIdrA and SirScoots (along with Gatored, SKU, and a few others) were all there. Before I had met idra irl I had only known him through the BM games that HD and Husky casted of him. After meeting him he really is a nice guy and I got to play a match vs him just so I could say I played vs IdrA. He just played normally while I just fooled around (ended up crushing me lol).
2 months later I went to another one we had here and I got to meet Machine and Inka.
|
At MLG DC I wanted a picture of IdrA, so I grabbed him and got a photo -- just of him, though, not with me. I wanted to use it for a local news blog I was going to write. So, it was kind of a weird request, and then later, on the Live on Three MLG edition, he admitted that he wondered if I'd just taken a picture of his crotch.
So my esports claim to fame is taking a picture of IdrA's crotch (even though I didn't.)

I donated Huk $5 in beta when he was on VT for his new pc/cat food lol. I joked about how he should pay me back with interest after he won Dreamhack and HSC3 when he came on kawaiirice's stream. He actually asked for my paypal saying he always pays his debts, and I dodged lol. Went to MLG Anaheim and my friend told him that I was here. He said HuK said, "tell that bitch to get over here" lol Waiting in line for Boxer (too busy practicing T_T), HuK came over and did a small signing and he pulls out a gigantic wad of cash like a boss and gave me $20 and signed the bill lol
I also met Kiwikaki and FnaticMSI.Rain in the restroom there. I wish they had urinals instead of stalls.
I'm met vVvTitan and Murder in the CS pub i always go to

At NASL, I was in the line waiting to meet Day[9], and I was telling my friends how I didn't get Artosis' autograph because he had to leave every time I was the next person in line. It happened to me 3 times already. Turns out, Day[9] overheard my conversation and proceeded to say, "Yeah, Dan's a dick!" Everyone started laughing. Then when it was my turn to meet Day[9], he said, "Hey I'm not Artosis, so let's hang out." It was the best experience ever.
