I went to Barcraft in Anaheim and tried to get a picture with Nestea but he had to go. So then I got one with WhiteRa, but not before HD ran in front of me to get a picture with him first

Also saw Slasher get his head shaved, it was awesome

I am from Croatia and I had a unique opportunity to go see my relatives in America and just to find out that next MLG Anaheim is a 20 mins drive from my aunt's place. I asked my aunt if she could drive me there for at least one day and she agreed. After I came there I was so happy just seeing all pros being there feeling the atmosphere it was truly a nerd dream. As time past I knew I had only few hours left and I went to get some fresh air and guess who I saw Day9! He just came inside. It was so awesome

some kind fellow took a photo of us it was truly a memory to remember for me.

And that's not all I got to take pictures and get to talk for a few second with other pros to! Like destiny, qxc, catz and sheth! It was truly awesome and I hope I can go at least once more.

Destiny and me I really like watching his stream. Learned a lot by watching him play plus he is really a funny guy.

Sheth and me! I love sheth he is the man he inspired me to play zerg and he is really kind and awesome.

Catz!! Found him smoking outside if I remember right he just lost so I didn't want to bother him much.

And last but not least QXC and me.

So after meeting so many pros and spending time at MLG I was so happy coming from Croatia I never thought I will be able to go and see such an cool event. Well that's my experience it was the only time I met any pro but it was really awesome and I will remember it for a long time.

Had a picture with artosis, mkp and seltzer during the PPSL!

Though the first day of the event was complete shit because of the shitty organizer.

I also got to watch the Emperor play Brood War up-close and in person. Something I never thought I'd get to do.

Had a short conversation with InControl at MLG Columbus and congratulated him for taking a game off Losira. He is a really cool dude and appreciates his fans.

Later my buddies and I were sitting on a bench in the lobby between matches and I noticed July walking by. I waved (more like flailed) my hand in the air like the July fanboy that I am and he responded with this humongous grin and two big thumbs up. Interacting with July made me so giddy because he was the only pro I followed at all before SC2 besides Boxer.

Saw a lot of Day9 and Idra too, but they were always so swamped with fans wanting autographs and pictures that I made no attempt to interact with them. I swear Day9 could probably verbally issue commands to his huge control groups of fans like they were zealots waiting to 1a for him.

I played(edit: beat! :p) Tasteless like a few days into the Beta. I didn't think it was him, and when I said "Hey Tasteless" he said Artosis was with him, and then I knew it wasn't :/

I played Artosis a few games later and he said "Tasteless says hi." I was like, ehh.. still not sure...

Then, as the game was ending, Artosis argued vehemently about the state of ZvZ and what it would be in the future as well. That's when I knew I had played tasteless and artosis, haha.

Hey guys

I was drunk as fuck at a barcraft when I caught Morrow doing shots with a friend. Long story short I asked him if he "shouldn't win anything soon?" to which he responded that "perhaps we should step outside for a bit?". Good shit.

I was in an elevator with HuK and two TL Mods at DC after HuK took second. I was frozen in nerd-awe while HuK tried to remember where some guy who knew him was from.
