Hung out around some EG guys including Idra/Lz/Axslav/Strifecro for over an hour. Had great conversation with Axslav and he even snuck us into the player's area for the last Open Bracket round games. Had a nice chat with HayprO who is a super nice and intelligent guy and was accidentally grabbed by Grubby's cameraman and featured on his documentary during MLG Dallas.

I am a fan of Gretorp and I got lucky enough to see him at MLG. I walked up to him and asked him to sign my shoe and I handed it to him and he was the only person to sign it so he was like "I'm the First one!?" and I was like "You are the ONLY one!" then he put his arms out and we embraced in a nerd hug. Now I got my awesome shoe signed by Gretorp.

LOL

I have shook hands with the Tastosis the casting archon, TWICE.

I walked back to my home in Seoul with Wolf.

I got a Googims Hat each from IMNestea and IMMvp, with their autographs on the boxes.

I was on GOMTV camera for a few seconds, and I covered my face like a silly little Korean girl.

I got an autograph from SlayerSCella himself! HOLY CHECK!

the closest I've gotten to brushing with the pros is I lost a game on stream to the team of vibe, steve, and megumi haha. Pretty embarassing.

Well, I played a team game against Stalife pretty early in SC2, we just proxied him and his team and won.

Also while I was at MLG dallas 2010 I was getting a picture with Day9 and the camera ran out of batteries, in the mean time day9 gave me a back massage for a good minute, all those years of gaming made him a good chiropractor.

Then I got my picture

MLG D.C I bumped into HuK and this was the first time I was getting serious about Starcraft 2(Was competing for Halo Reach at D.C made it to Round 5.). I looked at him and I said "I think I know you" then he replies "No You don't". Then after glancing at him for a little more im like "YOUR HUK" hes like "Yeah, whats up". I asked him what he thinks about Idra and if he can take him out, he responded by telling me he thinks he maybe the only one who can take him out. Before he left I asked him how to win PvZ and he told me "Dont play toss, they suck". Then he vanished.. Just like that.

Huk replied to a couple tweets of mine. Mostly just congratulating him, although some correcting spelling of his tweets.

He's an awesome guy. Glad to say he's from Canada :p

My closest one was I had a lesson with machine something like 5 months ago, then a few weeks ago as I was about to log and go to the gym I get a message from Machine asking me to play one of his students. So I did, and then got to play a couple games vs Machine, I was like retardedly happy about that.

Went to Korea in May. Got to watch the GSTL finals of SlayerS vs. MVP live at the GSL studio. Took a picture with BoxeR, shook his hand, and saw all of the players in person. Amazing. Also met cArn, TorcH, DoA. Got some GSL on-air screen time with my bro and our sign.

GSL - Gym, Starcraft, Laundry. That was us

Then I caught part of GSL Code S tournament. Saw HongUn, Genius, took a picture with MKP.

Because I'm only 14 and can't travel to MLGs (by myself, parents don't approve), I decided to do the 'next best thing' (online autographs with a 'hi')

http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=247973

:D:D:D:D

NOTE: Despite comments, I do not spam them, first, I make sure their stream is not online, secondly, I make sure they are not in a game (or if they are marked "busy" or "away"). Only then will I believe that they are just "chillin", in which I make my move.

In case any pros read this, if you found me annoying, please PM me and I will apologize (but when you PM me that's another victory for me :D)
