I recommend also following our Twitter, Event page, and Youtube throughout the weekend for continued coverage as they might be updated prior me updating this thread.

Enjoy.

Nice coverage and interesting interview with Stephano. It kinda makes sense not to focus on specific titles or leagues at this point. He's going to Korea to practice and if he's invited and is successful in GSL that's just a bonus.

edit: and yeah nothing wrong with wanting to make a lot of money since that means winning shit.

We're having some problems with our YouTube account, so we're uploading all of our videos to Blip.tv for now. All videos on blip.tv will be uploaded on YouTube after the event is over. In the meantime:

I took the photos from Day 2 and 3 for ESFI. I used a Canon 40D with 70-200 mm f/2.8L lenses and 24-70 mm f/2.8L lenses. Primarily, the 70-200 for most of the shots. Nomad who took the Day 1 and Day 4 photos took it with a Canon 60D. He can correct me if I'm wrong.
