Whoa, MC in Irvine? Holy crap, might actually go then!

|
I am not even a broodwar fan, but BISUUUU
|
lol Bisu.
Taiwan a bit light on players by having just a pair of Zergs. Granted. Sen and Nestea are great players, but the other regions are getting decent race representations while Taiwan is getting a ZvZ.

They dug up Bisu for another show match event?
|
All events so far away  No love for scandinavia?
|
This is so fucking cool! HotS! HypE!
|
My signature doesn't begin to convey the magnitude to which eSports will be changed after this event.
But no, really. That's cool about the cast near irvine, i guess i might go for shits and giggles.I met MC before, he's hella alpha, haha, it was nice. Told me where to stand and everything.
|
Wow this is a sick lineup  Trying to catch as much of it as possible I wonder who will be featured on the german stream? Hopefully sth with TaKe and his crew.
|
Polt looking like a fucking boss
|
So cool ! Maybe I'll go to Paris to see that !
|
Nice, the korean event perfectly fits into my daily routine 
|
Thanks for posting Dodgin, I thought I wanted to but then I had no idea how to format all of this.
Looking decent, although there are some weird choices, like having the two Koreans stomp the NA zergs and wheeling out Bisu to play (I hope he's been training HotS all along). And hopefully White-Ra won't get outclassed too hard in Versailles.
There are some fun dev meetings, too. David Kim is going to be in France, Mike Morhaime goes to the US event and Dustin Browder will be sent to Australia, undoubtably in order to draw inspiration from Ayers Rock.
|
I want to go to Versailles so badly
|
Pretty cool list of players, Flash vs Mvp possible match ^_^
|
Interesting way to do things...probably could of got away with 1/2 the casters/hosts (especially when they outnumber the players), but cool to see so many events going...taiwan getting a zvz that sucks

It's an 1hr flight - cheaper than driving too.
|
That EU line up... you can see where this sport gonna go! best foreign player, best foreign production, and caster.. this is all we need!
|
The french got the best people there!
|
Poor Taiwan, only 2 players and both zergs. But at least they have Nestea
Everything I see a moonglade pic he keeps reminding me of a younger spoony.
|
Isn't um jae kyung that osl commentator who made funny weird noises when casting ?
|
That is some sick sick event. A shame I heard about the Versailles one too late
Gotta admit, most excited for the Korea event, especially Bisu. That will be the day we learn Bisu is the strongest HotS player, here to dominate for years to come.
With awesome highly multitasking-intensive cannon storm tempest turtle...

He'll have enough sentries to edit the map however the hell he damn pleases

BISU!!!!! Flash vs MVP would be an awesome showmatch as well! :D
|
Chuckled at their description of Tasteless btw, it's like they're teasing him.
Casting the prestigious GSL since, Tasteless is known for his great passion for the game, and for pushing his voice to the limit and beyond during marathon casting sessions.
And Wolf's picture is definitely funny.
|
ahhahahahaa Dustin browder.
This event's gonna be sick, hope I can make it.
|
You need to fix the Australian stream link, it doesn't include the T.
|
Should've been Flash, Bisu, Jaedong then MVP, Nestea, MC in Korea imo.
Icons of BW vs Icons of sc2.
|
I hate to say it, but Bisu seems to be the new Tossgirl =/
Event looks awesome though, I hope the schedules won't overlap too much.
|
|
|
wow MC in california!
that's quite a surprise!

Well, he's at least as cute, that's one thing.

FlasH looks like such a douche in that picture
|
Lol some of these events look terrible.
Taiwan with 2 players and a zvz at that.
France with 4 players and 7 casters hahaha.
It looked good at the beginning, "oh nice, a 6 player event with korean / english casters" then...4 players, 2 players, 390285240 casters at one event..meeh. Should have been 6 minimum really, but i guess it is hard to organise.
Have fun to any attending / watching!
|
Bisu should just retire from SC2 and maybe go play in the SSL he'd probably dominate in SSL and I bet tons of crazy korean bisu obsessed fan girls would watch him on afreeca.
|
I can only go to the australia one but moonglade and pig are the only two I know and not that big of a fan...Guess I will be at home waiting instead then.
|
Photo credit for that shot of me goes to Carlton Beener btw.

he probably makes more salary from SKT than several years' worth of playing in SSL

You make quiet a bit from streaming on afreeca that can't be understated.
Yeah maybe now, but in a year he might not have a high salary if he keeps failing although if he starts playing BW (even part time) I'm pretty sure he would rape through SSL and have high viewerships on Afreeca (I'm pretty sure people would visit afreeca just for bisu playing BW)

pro release-parties everywhere, glorious
|
This is going to be amazing. I can't wait to see Flash and Jaedong stomp Bisu... For Flash, it'll be payback time for those PL Finals losses.

How it will look like at Fed Square :D
|
If MC went to Seoul instead of Creator, I would jizz forever.
|
all this time he has been absent in pl, he has been playing playing hots beta for months ahead getting ready for round 5.
bisu will tear shit up round 5.
