Met a bunch of player at MLG Anaheim. :D Got pictures with qxc, Jinro, sjow, Select, Alicia, and HuK! All of them were very friendly and it was an awesome experience. ^^
When we met TLO, me and my friends were eating in the food court and he was walking by. My friend stopped him and asked if we could get a picture, and he said "only if I can have a bite of your pizza." So we got a picture, and TLO did in fact take some of his pizza. XD
When we met qxc, my friend was talking with him for a bit, and then qxc looked at me and asked "handshake? hug?" And of course, I went with hug~ and he was like "I love hugs!" He seemed like a super nice guy. :D
This is me with HuK! ^^ He's my favorite. Unfortunately didn't get to really talk to him, buuuut I was still super excited about meeting him, lol.
Qxc is my favorite player as he was the guy that got me into watching SC2 in the beta. Been hooked ever since. I was at a small party and met a girl he dated for quite a while. We talked about his special tactics and I was allowed to be in nerd heaven. Then she talked about their sex life. The next morning I felt like I had vicariously slept with qxc. It was the wierdest combination of awkward and starstruck.

I doubt I'll ever get the chance to meet a pro (except Moonglade perhaps), so online interaction is all I'll get. I'm hoping to be matched up against one (especially a Korean) in a tournament sometime, hopefully a TL open. =)
Oh, I think HuK responded to one of my questions when he was in the TeamLiquid chat channel once. That's about it I think. xD
I took a picture with me and oGsMC, I shaked hands with White-Ra at stockholm invitational. Didn't talk with IdrA though, he left too early But there were so many good people there (huk as well) that I didn't even bother asking for autographs from people like sjow/morrow (I'm a huge fan of them both but since they're swedish it's not THAT cool, it's not like MC who is a korean). I was very happy with watching that tournament, it was great! :D Have some good memories from that tournie
I flew out to mlg columbus i meet a lot of people there some my favorites was dan and nick of course and this one. he saw me taking a picture i guess and i just love the look on his face.
MLG Anaheim 2011: Meeting up with most of the pros including most of the Liquid, EG, Dignitas, Slayers members, and all the casters. In related event, getting my pirate bird poster shouted out by JP and Incontrol at the end of the latest SotG (EP45): + Show Spoiler +
Tasteless might have the greatest signature ever. I think it totally reflects his personality 100% lol.
I got up to rank 63 in ladder one time in SC when it was crazy hard to get in top 1k playing ZvZ only haha. Also have asked questions in many streams and have had pretty much all top players etc mention my name answering them ;-D
John The Translator held up the [chicken-scratch] cheerful I submitted through GOMTV forums with "Bring my John" written on it ^^'' The one [also chicken-scratch] I drew for FXO for the GSTL also got featured, so I'm content with that.
Otherwise, not much else I can do to brush with ESPORTS fame ^^''
I came out of my Hotel at the Hilton @ MLG Anaheim to grab a towel. Then Boxer himself came out of his hotel heading towards his match. I didnt have a camera or anything so I just smiled and shook his hand and said "Big Fan, and Good luck".
Doesnt matter that I didnt get a picture, that will be a good memory to keep for awhile. I always adored Boxer since I was very young. Met a lot of other great players too, such as my other hero White-Ra :D.
i got a lot of signatures on my computer case from pros at MLG Anaheim. but the big story is i was standing behind Destiny during one of his games and after the match was over he turned around and shook my hand thanking me for watching him play.
MLG DC after party, hanging out with EG team. Pouring Idra his victory screwdriver. Although I accidentally gave him the one I made for myself (much stronger), so he didn't drink the whole thing.
Was super stoked about being in the hotel room while they recorded the sotg episode to recap the entire event. Incontrol, idra, machine, Tyler, Huk, DJWheat, Slasher, JP... and the random after parties with all the other players and TL staff.
Was pretty epic.
Edit - Was actually pretty interesting, staff members were interested in meeting the players, and players were actually interested in meeting staff.
Funny moment was: Me walking up to some guy I didn't recognize just to be nice and figure out who he was and why he was hanging out with EG (thought he was somebody's friend)...
Me: Hey, are you a player?
Him: Yeah
Me: Cool. What's your name?
Him: LzGamer
Me: HOLY SHIT NICE TO MEET YOU DUDE!! I WATCH YOU STREAM ALL THE TIME!!
Him: Thanks. Who are you?
Me: EvilTeletubby
Him: HOLY SHIT NICE TO MEET YOU!! I LOVE YOUR BANS!!
He's not really a pro, but I have had many many questions and comments answered by Spanishiwa on his stream (I swear 5% of the ppl on streams actually ask intelligent questions, you can totally get noticed if you aren't an idiot)
Met qxc, HuK, Nony, DJ Wheat, JP and Day 9 at MLG DC. There was that long technical difficulty the first day of DC in the early hours and my friend and I had waved at Day 9 earlier that morning, he came over during the downtime and talked with me and my friend for like 10 minutes.. I was so starstruck haha.. my friend got a pic with him doing puppet face :D
During the Stockholm Invitational I met HuK and talked with him for a bit. This was after the MLG where IdrA said HuK couldn't beat him in a real game, so I had Chris promise me that if he won against IdrA, he'd ask in the interview what a real game is. I think he thought that was a funny idea and shook my hand to seal the deal!
Also, I had a chat with Morrow where he confirmed that during the game against MC he did let his third hatch continue building to uphold the VR.
I'm also the one who was the only one to laugh at some joke from 2GD, making him look at me and say something about me laughing like a girl! I believe that was on the stream as well.. ^^
At gadget show live, an back in March in the UK, I got to interview Naniwa, Sjow, Select, Apollo, Bling, Total Biscuit, Khaldor and Odee. With it being my first time around players, I was completely star struck and just watched them play games for ages feeling like a bit of a stalker, watching over their shoulders. When we spoke to Nani, he said "Odee said you guys didn't show up yesterday", and I thought I'd pissed him off. I spoke to Odee after and he explained that Naniwa just says what's on his mind, so I was alright with it.
When it came to the interviews, Naniwa had just won, Sjow had come 5th and was clearly disappointed, and I'd only really just got in to the SC2 scene, so I didn't know a huge amount about SeleCT (If SeleCT ever reads this, I'm sorry <3 ). I asked a few REALLY stupid questions and felt really awkward because I was nervous as hell.
They were all really nice guys, and after the tournament, the computers were free, so I sat down to ladder, and I looked opposite me, and Nani had just sat down to play a bit, I suppose I should have asked for a game. We went to thank the guys for their time, and BlinG joked that they would have coached me if they'd seen me play after I said I was even more nervous playing so close to such good players. (woo go silver me!)
So I missed an opportunity to get training from some of the best players in Europe, but all of them were really nice, and Apollo is a huge troll, distracting the guys during the interview by mooning them and lying on the floor gesturing to SeleCT. My regrets were not interviewing Socke and Hasuobs, again, I'm sorry! <3, and also coming off as a huuuuuge stalker for the weekend, with the last weird thing being seeing Naniwa and Sjow while I was waiting for my bus going in to a shop. Me and my friend asked them for a picture and they said yes which was awesome :D. If anyone wants to see the cringe worthy interviews they're here;
