I have viOlet on Skype and Real ID, I chat with him daily. He knows me by name and makes me feel like a boss. <3 Hwanni. I also chat with Machine regularly on Bnet and occasionally on Skype. Bryce so nice.

Oh yeah, I'm also good friends with Orb and Diamond and all the ESV guys. So semi famous ppl as well.

At DreamHack Summer this I finally got to meet my old hero from WC3, Moon. We talked a lot (despite the sort-of language barrier) and he signed my old MYM shirt and took pictures.

It felt especially good since I had previously wanted to meet him @ WCG 2008 (the one where he ended 2nd - lol blademaster -_-) but couldn't attend in the end because my flight got cancelled.

I have to say, the DotA 2 beta. I've played with so many people...

ClouD is pretty good.

Hmm all that I can think of is that one time I posted a question on Spanishiwa's stream chat right before he started a game, and he then discussed my idea for the first half of that game. I felt like a total baller and later told my sc2 buddies at school and they couldn't believe it.

Not bad for someone that isn't involved that much and would rather watch from the sidelines. ^^ Although I definitly plan on going to a MLG someday.

I've played oGsTheSTC on the NA ladder when his account was diamond before his IPL3 match against White Ra. He ended up using the same build against me as he did the first game in that series and I only lasted 2 min less than White Ra so I consider that a success.

I also went to MLG Orlando and met all the pros there who were all super nice and I got pics with MC and White Ra.

I also played Catz because he sometimes plays some offrace games with the guys from UF.

I ran into Dimaga after Blizzcon at the airport, and we just chilled while waiting for our flights. What an incredible down to earth guy. My favorite non-korean bar none.

he does indeed seem like a very friendly person

I should aspire to be more like him, I find most fans to be kind of annoying (not all of them obviously, but when they just barge into a conversation.... it's kinda weird)

Went into a StarBattle lobby, then a player by the name of Liquid`TLO appeared to be joining the lobby. Chat went ablaze with "FAKE?" "REAL!?" "IS THIS THE REAL TLO???"

Back at MLG Columbus, my friends and I were standing out in the lobby waiting for my brother to drive the van up to the door because it was raining. A few guys went off to the bathroom, and the rest of us were standing around talking. We saw Idra walking by looking kind of mopey, this was shortly after he lost to Thorzain on the main stage ruining his perfect tournament up to that point. We waved him over and asked if we could take a picture with him, he said he would, and we grabbed our obilgatory "release the gracken" sign and lined up together. The girlfriend of one of the guys who had gone off to the bathroom volunteered to take the picture, and she stood in front of us and said "1...2..."

And then her jacket zipper slid open and revealed rather more of her than she would have liked in front of Idra. We got a smile out of him as the picture was taken.

My brush with anybody famous has so far only been at MLG's. I live in Raleigh, so I have attended the last two MLGs that have been held here. The MLG Raleigh in 2010 was the first time SC2 was included in the ProCircuit, and lets just say, they had not really figured out how to set up the Starcraft2 area correctly. So, my friends and I would get to the venue early and stake out a spot next to the player stations. Now, the divider between the players and the audience was literally at the edge of the table, so you were within an arm's length away from all of the players (I am sure they absolutely hated those playing conditions). So, we got to watch the top players right over their shoulders. My friends and I also got Husky to sign a whole bunch of stuff (tablet, giant Starcraft 2 box, multiple laptops, etc. lol). Later that event my friend got HuK to sign a shirt, and I handed HuK the sharpie and stood a foot away from him (ahhh! @_@ xD lol )

The last brush with fame I had was at this past MLG Raleigh. I was playing at station 32 in the open bracket, and my match was running long. Tyler ended up watching my last game, and then took my place at the station (as I lost, ;_; ). I got to wish him luck before leaving the player area. I got mentioned on the stream by Husky, but then Day[9] completely ignored what he said and proceeded to go into one of his stories LOL.

Nothing big or overly exciting, but I have really enjoyed the experiences.

* Getting to play with close to all of iS players from my work for the team
* Talking to Puma and Rain on Skype chat. It's broken English but SO funny yet understandable at same time! Puma should stop listening to InControl or he's gonna keep teaching him wrong words for occasions, such a troll.

*Puma totally chooses the wrong word*
Me: Where'd you learn that?
Puma: InControl told me it means ...

* NASL event. Talking to MC. Having him translate some things into Korean for Puma I think. Probably tacky for me to ask runner-up to assist in congratulating the winner.
* NASL afterparty. HasuObs & WhiteRa drunk me under the table. Europeans man. Before in NASL or might've been at party, meeting Kevin Lin, Mr. Twitch.Tv dude.
* MLG Anaheim afterparty. Twitch TV guys, rest of iS team (at that point) in person.
* MLG Anaheim lunch, all the FXO guys. Shout out to tgun & raelcun. Unstable leaving after one bite of a huge delicious chocolate cake.

It's really nice to meet the players you see stream and win events. Wasn't shell shocked like an uber-fan might because of what my current job entails (Non-ESPORTS job). Just being nice and hospitable with people that could beat me SC2 with my eyes closed.

I beat vVvWaffles in a 1v1... I was Gold at the time. ROFL. I played him because I met him in a chat channel and we have the same name (I'm wafflez) so I was like "battle of the waffles??" then we did... And I played the best game of my life and won in 14 minutes. It was ridiculous.

Also I had a ten minute conversation about life and computer games with vileIllusion, he was ReVillusion at the time, on his stream. pretty baus.

Plus I ran into Tgun on the street in sydney, and I was like OH SHIT IT'S TGUN to my friend and then he turned around and was like "hey mate, heard of me have you??" Then I got a signature.

At NASL season 1 on day 2 during the lunch break, a friend of mine and I went to subway to get food. On our way back, his girlfriend is like "Pro gamer behind you guys" I turn around and I instantly recognized him as Boxer. I wasn't sure what to do so I just said "fuck it" and I grabbed my sc2 box and my sharpee and ran up to him and asked if he would sign my box. He said ok and then took a picture with us. Great guy...almost the top highlight from that weekend.

The best part of the weekend was when Incontrol invited the 3 of us to dinner. So I got to eat at Outback with him, Anna, Moletrap and ghostclaw. Was definitely a meal I will not forget.

NASL Season 2 finals are on my birthday this year and I've already got my room and tickets booked. Can't wait to see what surprises are in store for me this time around.

I was at MLG Anaheim and some fan was talking to Huk. I walked up to them, and Huk started to pull his wallet out of his pocket for some reason. A quarter fell out, and the fan picked it up. He started to hand it to Huk, then Huk told him he could keep it, and laughed. I then said "give it to me instead." The guy said, "why?" and I responded, "Iono, just do it."

I eventually spent that quarter. I thought it was funny. I'm usually a pretty nice guy but acted odd at that moment. Must have been the huk aura.

I'm not sure if I've already said this, but one time when demuslim was streaming and doing a q/a, I asked him "what's the biggest poo you've ever done?". He was reading the questions aloud as he went through, so when he got to mine he said "what's the biggest - oh that's just stupid" (or something along those lines). I felt bad afterwards though
