I went to Seoul for my holiday (obviously chosen for the GomTV studios ;-P) and met Tastosis, HuK and Jinro. I didn't have my camera with me when I met HuK and Jinro (fail much?) >:-|
but fortunately got it for the end of the sets so i got pics of me and Tastosis. Looks like they need to put out a restraining order LOL, such a geekfan ;-)
Got HuK and Jinro's autographs though, and managed to convey Scandinavian support from Norway.

Managed two days at GomTV, it was awesome! Very starstruck ;-)

At MLG Columbus, I met most of the pro-gamers and got to talk to them for a bit. I was surprised at how easy it was to get a hold of them between matches. I got pics with everyone I talked to, but my brother messed up a bunch of them

I'll post the good ones.

At Columbus, my brother and I shared a room that was right across the hall from Root- our favorite team. Pics ensued:

Also, we literally shared the hotel elevator with all the Koreans. It was so amazing

They were so nice- especially MMA and Losira. I think MC's game face is permanently stuck on him though:

I also talked to- and got pics with- all of EG, who was perhaps the nicest team I had gotten the chance to have discussions with that day. Every person on EG (iNcontroL, idrA, Axslav, LZ, Machine, etc.) introduced themselves by their first name and asked for my first name, and then some small talk occasionally ensued.

+ Show Spoiler +

I was fortunate enough to, of course, find a lot of the Team Liquid players (although, interestingly enough, never with my TL shirt on). I also saw Hot Bid running around, and I got to shake his hand

TLO had a wonderful night the previous evening, by the way...

+ Show Spoiler +

I also got to chat with Naniwa, Thorzain, and Morrow about how well they thought they would do (but unfortunately, those pics were epic fails). I then got to meet Tasteless, Artosis, Day[9], and DJ Wheat, (and my younger brother messed up my pics with Day[9] x.x), talked with Day[9] about mathematics and Day[9] Dailies, I got several compliments from Tastosis regarding my shirt (I was labeled as quite the Handsome Nerd

), and I talked with Artosis about going chargelot-archon in PvP

Ran in to day9 at dreamhack last year, got to talk to him briefly and give him an high 5 and a hug, he is such a nice guy.
Also met jinro & mc at the most recent dreamhack, they were all really nice and cared about their fans.

Had a brief in-game chat conversation with HwangSin, but I'll always regret deciding last minute not going to MLG Columbus and then finding out that oGsMC (fav player) was replacing Bomber at the event. T_T

I flew down to WCG qualifiers in Sydney here in Australia and played with some of the best players in south east asia.

On the plane trip home, I was sitting directly behind FXOmOOnGLaDe and talked to him for an entire hour. I got a photo with him at the airport and told him I'd see him at the next WCG event in brisbane! :D

I'd post a picture but school blocks photobucket x.x

I also found I look almost exactly like FXO t_gun and talked to him for a while on TL before my tournament match.

So yeah. pretty happy with my efforts to date :D

I attended the NASL finals in Ontario as well as MLG anaheim, ended up meeting all the pro's and got pictures and signatures from everyone that I could get a hold of. During the NASL finals my friends and I ended up staying in a room right next to WhiteRa and his buddy, and their room reeked of pot...lol.

At Anaheim a couple friends and I had the privilege of hanging out with not only DjWheat, but Mrs. Wheat as well! We all had a great time, we discussed esports and the Terran hellion bullsh!@t that the Koreans were killing everyone with at MLG. I was amazed at how tall he was! He always looked kinda short next to Day[9], but I'm almost 6' and I was dwarfed by the Wheat. Then i saw Day[9] later, and it all made sense =P

At MLG Columbus, one of the girls in our group was having a wardrobe issue where her jacket kept unzipping itself. All she had on underneath was her underwear. After Idra lost to Thorzain, we ran into him in the lobby outside and asked to take a picture. He agreed, and the girl with the wardrobe issue went to take the pic while we all clustered around grack. Right as she said "cheese," her jacket came undone, and Idra just smirked hilariously.

10 minutes later, her boyfriend came back from the bathroom, and he saw the look on our faces and was like "what?" Lets just say Idra has a new antifan after that XD

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

+ Show Spoiler +

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.

Holy crap, my friends and I are all in the background of your picture (which is adorable btw)! I think I remember seeing you there too. ^^;

We met a TON of pros at MLG Anaheim, it was quite awesome. I felt like such a dork asking them to take pictures with me or to sign my mousepad but everyone was really nice. Also my best friend and I gave HuK some banana Laffy Taffy, which he seemed pretty happy about. :3

Oh and once during that weekend I saw TLO and Jinro walking from the Hilton back to the convention center. I waved at them and when TLO waved back I got all embarrassed and hid like a dumbass. But I stopped being a wuss eventually and asked them to take a picture with us. I get so stupidly starstruck...
