Just kidding, I'm a little far away from all the cool stuff. Although I was once signed up in a tournament to play mouz.HasuObs, but he didn't pitch, so I got a walk over ^_^ aw yeah, does that count? | ||

However, later my roommate and I met Gretorp, and let me just say, I have never been more surprised. As a purchaser of NASL season one, I thought gretorp was a lame, boring, good for nothing piece of shit. BUT HOLY FUCKING SHIT. GRETORP IS AN AWESOME PERSON!!! He is HILARIOUS. I was ragging on him for being filipino (he's actually not, but it's a pet peeve) and he was making fun of me for being the pastiest Mexican he's ever seen. We had a great time chatting it up. We also talked about the gretorp upgrades (they make alot of sense) and he bitchslapped us for saying he's in masters (actually GM). He talked to us for a good while, he was excited about having just been at EVO in las vegas. Eventually we left him because we didn't want to push our luck. Then, day of the finals, during Boxer Vs Rain on metalopolis, I see gretorp looking around for a seat. I give him a seat next to my cute asian friend. He sits and has a good time, and then her BF shows up. Gretorp leaves even though I tell him it's ok. hahahaha Now we're friends on FB <3 | ||

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. Oh yeah, NASL heard some Koreans were askin about where In 'n' Out was (hamburger place). Later on, saw JulyZerg and a couple friends walkin that way. Koreans love In 'n Out! | ||

No but seriously I haven't done anything(or anyone) special in SC2 now that I came to think about it. I can stroke my ego and get it bigger in other ways even though it's hard. | ||

BTW that was right after ESWC was held here in Paris so I am like 99.999% certain it was him, even if I didn't get a chance to talk to him. | ||

Anyway, get to the Gadget show and at the part we entered, the SC2 tournament was being played right there. It was weird, a row of alienware PC's (5 on each side), with the area taped off, and sitting there chatting is Socke, Sjow, Select, Naniwa, and I think Mana and Hasuobs might've been there? At the time, I was a big Socke fan (as Protoss player) so I must admit to being a bit obsessed with him, but Select immediatly caught my eyes because his hands were so damn fast. My friend Tina who's never played games in her life just couldn't believe what she was seeing, even though she couldnt understand at all what he was doing  I had a little chat with Sjow (super friendly), as Socke had gone afk, and his account was logged in - I joked with Sjow asking him if he thought Socke would notice if I did a quick ladder game on his account? Ended up watching quite a few games (my friends got bored pretty quick), and got to say grats to Socke after he beat Sjow in one round. I felt a bit bad for them, you had all these top players but there was almost no interest in the SC2. I felt like a real fan boy, watching the play up close like that. My one regret was at the time I didn't really know who Naniwa was (he's become one of my favorite players since), and I think he ended up winning the event. I would love to have watched him play over his shoulder but never got the chance. Anyway, was a very cool experience to see them play up close like that. | ||

It was during the Shethtiny drive, and they were playing the Micro Tourney map... I joined, and I guess that someone they wanted in didn't get in, so they quit. | ||

I was also one of the guys behind the GSTL viewing party with Mr. Chae Oh, cool, then I definitely remember you. I was the guy with the afro running back and forth during the BW showmatches. I was wearing a rather bright teal Proleague T-shirt during it. | ||

Shook hands and told Incontrol that I loved him when I got into the venue on Friday morning. When open bracket was starting he signed my shirt while waiting to hear his name get called. I spoke briefly with Tastosis when I got my hoodie signed, got to thank them for getting me into Starcraft as something more than doing UMS games and tower D, and how they brought a great joy to my life. I also saw Tasteless outside having a smoke once, but he was on camera and I did not want to bother him. Huk passed directly in front of me when I was in line to get Leenocks signature after huk lost I was wearing my protoss shirt and said sorry as he passed, but he was definately not in the mood for anyone at that point. There were a ton more, the pros really do go out into the crowd and meet the fans at these events. | ||
