Didn't have the chance to go an MLG yet, but i've met my favorite protoss twice already. Also a great poker player...that's right...i am talking about the one and only KiWiKaKi. He's a great d00d and really funny too. But unfortunately, LAN tourneys doesnt seem to be a good fit for him...
I met Slush a couple times too...best one was when SC2 just got out...only downside is that he lost to an unknown player to me at the time, AlexCMoi.
Oh and i had the privilege to take a pic with JF...didnt know much about him back in september 2010 when it occured but now that i know who he is and what he represents to this community, i am really glad i met him.
Other names i've had a chance to meet : Ahboxxah, Attero, Fayth, AlexCMoi, Taurent, dde
The common thing about these guys is they're really cool and chill dudes. Not afraid to talk to fans and hang out with us.

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.

OMG that is a sick fucking mousepad. I'm totally copying you when I go to Raleigh this month. :X
Artosis retweeted a tweet of mine on how to do the dishes properly (laptop stuck against the windowsill so I can do dishes and watch GSL at the same time)
MSi celebrated their 25th anniversary here in Philippines. They brought Sen with them as part of the program. Fortunately, we got to handle the part where Sen gets to play the gamers of PH. So yeah, I got to talk with Sen
He might not be the biggest profile in SC2 yet but I met 2GD at a bar a while back ago some time after DH Invitational. We talked over a beer for a while and he is such an awesome person ♥
I sat in the same car as Nazgul once. I was like 13 and really shy but hang out with some guy called Valiant~TCO, he lived rather close to me and invited me to join him to WCG tournament in the Netherlands. Somewhere along the way we stopped in Utrecht to pick up Nazgul (me having no idea who Nazgul actually was) and Victor joined us there
I talked to him from time to time until I think I got carried away a bit in my fanboyism and he blocked me on MSN He asked me to register on TL when it started and I've checked it ever since. Always scared he'd ban me someday :D
I haven't met any pro's IRL or anything, but I remember talking to Kungen in WoW (some swedes or WoW nerds must know what I'm talking about!) once and was really proud that he would actually answer my questions, since I knew he almost always used an addon to block all random messages :D
Working for MLG I've met a lot of the Pros but since I found this thread for HuK's Twitter I'll talk about my run ins with him.
In Anaheim against SjoW i asked him what his veto is and he goes 'I'm not sure ask one of my fan girls' and looks towards the 3 behind him. They seem nervous and don't want to veto a map for him because they don't want to pick a wrong one. Finally some guy says "Veto Testbug" and the girls sort of silently agreed. I go back to HuK and tell him what happened and he's like "Aww man you can't have a guy pick a veto that's bad luck man, so bm". Haha.
I got to ref his match against Ganzi too and him and Ganzi were doing some friendly BM and Ganzi said something like "You cry all the way back to korea" or something and HuK give me this joking look and goes "Ref you see this? I want a technical". It was hilarious.
HuK has one of the best personalities of any pro I've met, it's always fun getting him on one of my stations, especially cuz I play toss.
I played a 4s game with 3 friends - first or second game that we played for our placement matches, and it was against DJ Wheat, Hotbid, Mango, and someone else...and we got beat pretty handily to say the least.
Very minor on streams usually. Got to be camera man for stream watchers while Megumixbear went and made a quesadilla and took care of her niece and newphew for a few minutes. Got CatsPajamas to say And now for the weather on sheth's stream Got my question on Day9 lol so excited for that (day9fanboy)
