MLG passes for today sold out in less than a minute. That is five times as fast as it was for Raleigh. Chances are you are one of those unlucky motherfuckers who was not fast enough to get a player pass like me QQ, but atleast you can do something much more fun than playing in a +$10K Starcraft 2 tournament. SPECTATING YEY! No?
Alright so I guess I'm opening this thread because I plan on going but I would like to know who else will be going. It think it would also be good for others as well so we can help each other out if you are willing for example provide housing or share a hotel room and split the cost. We could also do one of those meetups everyone always talk about and make fun of a couple of halo kids (j/k btw. Halo > SC). If you live around the area or know it well, you could be the official TL community tour guide.

This might seem like I'm just being lazy, but I'm on exchange studies in Vermont (from Sweden), so I have no idea how to get around. I will go if:
1. Someone can help me get to the place, either by public transport or picking me up.
2. I can stay with someone or share a hotel cost. If someone lets me stay with them, I'd pay for a dinner or cook you food or something. I would also obviously pay for the gas if we're driving anywhere. If there's any other cost, don't hesitate to tell me. : )
3. There will be people I can hang out with.
I'd be in Washington 6:28 pm on Thursday and I'd be leaving Sunday 9 pm. If someone would like to check out the city with me, that'd be great.

Your best bet of getting there if you do not have a car and are traveling by plane or taking the metro is to stop at DCA (Reagan) and taking a shuttle to Gaylord.
The Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center is NOT the only place to stay around that area. There is the Hampton Inn, Residence Inn and aloft Washington National Harbor that are within walking distance of the convention center. About the rates though, you'll have to find out yourself but from the looks of it they seem a bit cheaper than Gaylord atleast according to tripadvisor
I guess all update the thread and make a list of those who are confirmed, tentative, providing housing or willing split the cost of a hotel room.
MLG DC @ GAYLORD! GET HYPED! and ffs USA top3 this time.

I live in the area so I can just drive to the event. And I got my pass! So excited~!
Unfortunately I live in a small apartment so I am unable to provide housing for any incoming travelers.

Well, I'm sure all of TL will meet up at some point, I can pretty much confirm the following people will go:

Haemonculus/Shiver/Rhavanna

LuckyFool

A lot of Princeton TL'ers who live in the area said they might road trip down too.
There'll be a lot of us

I am hoping to go!
Just looking around seeing if I want to spend the money at Gaylord or if I should look for something cheaper. Leaning towards the center :D
|

|
I'll be there plus probably 2 roommates.
|
tons and tons and tons of TL ppl will be there. HotBid and Intrigue will be there covering the event for TL as well.
oh and if ur not staying at the hotel don't park at the hotel. those prices are insane. there's a 24 hour garage like 2 blocks from the hotel that's $11 for 24 hours.

I'll be there, in fact I was at the national harbor a couple of days ago and saw the convention center

Yep, got my ticket. DC DINNER YES?
|
Definitely going to be there, might even be able to house a couple people at my place in College Park. I did not realize spectator passes are free for this one, makes it even better.
Looking forward to meeting some TL people!

I've stayed down there for another convention at the hotel across the street. Its a little bit cheaper not much but it has a full kitchen and it is a nice room. Parking is like 11$/night which is really good. Also the hotel is literally across the street from the Gaylord.
For dinner, stop by elevation burger. You can make a 10 patty burger. Their fries are awesome and I heard their shakes are from what I heard okay. I've heard that they are building a CVS down there so I'm not sure if its there.
Link to the hotel
I'll be down there with several friends so that I split the hotel bill.
|
I got a ticket, and I live on the southern side of the bridges in Arlington. I spoke with the wife (big gamer her self) and im pretty sure I can have a few people stay the weekend to avoid the hotel costs. The closest metro stop for me is Pentagon or Pentagon City (both the same distance from my place)
I have lots of interwebs,
42" TV
a fold out couch
tons-o-floor space
Cheap (BYOB)
A wife that enjoys guests and cooking
Only thing is I have a dog
Limited parking for cars
Its an Apt.
Just send me a PM on TL forums or add me to google/gmail mark[dot]pierce[dot]d[AT]gmail[dot]com if you are interested and/or cheap

I'll be there, not sure if my good friend Time will be coming up.
Never been to the gaylord resort, but i have a decent idea where its located.
i live in between umbc and cp so i have decent knowledge of the city streets, and the hoods for that matter.

btw if you're flying in and have a choise between DCA, IAD, and BWI, DCA (ronald reagan washington national airport) is pretty much directly across from the river from the venue, if that matters to you. IAD is about 45 minutes away or an hour in traffic, and BWI is about an hour away + 15-30 if you have traffic. DCA to national harbor shouldn't be more than like 15 minutes (plan for 30 to be safe, obviously) from the door to the airport to the door of the venue.

Will be there playing. Not 100% about my travel ideas just yet- I live in Springfield VA but don't have a car and basically rely on the metro. I should be fine though.

Whatever, I'll be going for sure though. Should be lotsa fun!

We'll see. Government contracts are not known for their leniency when it comes to hours. Might get there a little late but I'm spec'ing anyway so it should be fine. Definitely won't miss Saturday

Really wish I could go. I'm too poor.

I live 30 mins from the Venue and may go, but I'm still too pissed I didnt get in. Hate the signup format. Should really have an online tourney for the 16 invites

I guess if you plan on staying at the Gaylord National Resort at MLG's discounted rate, you better book a room soon.
I'll update the post later with the list of people who said they were going.

All of us DC nerds have dinner at a Korean BBQ every saturday night! All of you guys who are in town need to show up to this too! Eeesh.

that would be supreme! if you could liek PM me the place so i can mapquest it or w/e that be graet

sorry for double post but
Is there anyone else here that is looking to split a room @ Gaylord hotel that
a. wont rape me
b. wont kill me
please PM me!

Um I'm not sure the locals have discussed where might be best for dinner. Typically we go to a korean buffet called Il Mee in Annandale, VA but that might not be the most convenient location seeing as we already have to negotiate to make sure that everyone is getting a ride. Long story short, we should probably look closer to the convention center for something.
|
Looking for more to split the cost of a room @ the Gaylord, hoping to get 4 but at least 3. Have to book before the 22nd so be quick.
I'm gonna be flying in on Friday morning and leaving Sunday morning. If you are going to be getting there before Friday and need the room earlier PM me so we can work/figure something out.

how close is close? or do you plan on driving people? I live here and already have plans (I think) so it's not necessarily for me, but if anyones staying at your place and they live elsewhere and aren't driving they might need a little more information on how they'll be commuting :O

Ahhh I have a long weekend and my girlfriend said she'd go down with me if I wanted... and nice people offering up lodging... so tempting.

Prepare for there to be a lot of people watching.. its pretty intimidating at first. Also practice with different clothing etc.. MLG Raleigh was freezing.. so if you usually play in a white tee and boxers.. maybe try preping with a hoodie?
Also you might be wearing shoes... so think about that.
Besides from what you're wearing.. think about you're hardware.. test it make sure it is flawless and will perform fine. You need to also remember you're in game settings. I know select started a game with the wrong hotkeys.. luckily he still wound up winning.
I would suggest making a separate thread though.
|
Not sure if I can make this... ahhh.
Is there going to be a korean BBQ dinner though?
|
I've played in a lot of LANs in the last 4-5 years, and I think the biggest thing is just to keep your cool and play your game. I have seen so many people attempt all ins, etc, when they really have not practiced all ins before the tourney. I would try to play games with a lot of observers to practice. The added pressure of having people watch them play can get to some people.

From what I've heard about MLG Raleigh, if you use a PS2 keyboard it can fry the computer, I don't know why, I don't know if thats true, but its MLG's rules to go by so just deal with it.
And the event is from October 15-17, SC2 will be played just the first two days (15/16)
|
Are they planning on getting less shitty computers in the future, or does everyone who uses PS2 keyboards have to relearn new ones starting now?
|
The field is looking pretty amazing. As a zerg I'm really looking forward to this!
|
Pretty sure their computers are baller, and pretty sure you need to stop throwing a hissy fit over it. Will saying "what the FUCK" or "less shitty computers" really help solve the problem? no.
If you want to host a tournament that allows PS2, go for it, but if they have rules set out like this then, by signing up to play, you should probably get used to the fact that you'll abide by them. That or I'm sure you can try to have an orderly discussion about it with the MLG Admins maybe through PM's on TL, emailing them, talking to them through their website, or MAYBE if you're lucky, talking to them at the event, but if you talk like THAT then I doubt they'd want to listen.

IIRC, JP and/or MLG Lee went into some detail about this issue in the Raleigh rules thread. Apparently this is a rule carrying over from WoW competitions where before, they lost a number of computers due to PS2-related issues.

Inflow is sending both Masq and Spades as players! Should be a great field, gl to all players, can't wait for this to start!
|
I'll be there as a Ref/Admin :D
|
I'm going. Right now I've got plans to stay with an old college buddy but he lives in Odenton, Maryland which would be pretty much a gigantic hassle to get to the venue and back each day. I'd be willing to split a room on Friday night just so I don't have to go back to Odenton late Friday and wake up early on Saturday. Ryan, I'm lookin' at you.
Edit: Floor's fine, btw.
|
If you find someone who's also going to the event with a car, take the metro to king street or maybe reagan airport, or you can try going to reagan airport and taking a shuttle from there to teh venue if you don't find another way.
|
To clarify, Kawaiirice is in fnatic so he's there twice...
|

|
if one wants to spectate, can they just show up? or do they need to buy a pass of some kind.

You can either buy a spectator pass at mlg's website for 25 dollars or I believe they sell them at the door for also 25 dollars.
Boy I can't wait for this event, just bought myself a flipcam for it to take venue reviews, player interviews etc. As we get closer, I'll probably start up a thread somewhere on TL for the community to ask questions to players and if I get an interview with them I will try to ask a couple of the questions that I like :D
PS: I'll be posting all my videos from MLG on my new youtube www.youtube.com/ZlasherSC
subscribe if you guys are interested ;D
|
I thought spectating was free this time around?
|
You can attend the event as a spectator for free this time.
having to pay for spectator passes is a rumor that just wont die.
|
Really? Is there some post by one of the MLG people on TL or on MLG's website that says spectating is free?
Edit: Oh wait, is it because this is a Halo Combine/Circuit event instead of just a circuit event like Raleigh was? I know that when they have Combine-only events, those are free to spectate, so uh....yeah...maybe
I have no idea, I'll wait til Deimos, Lee, Sundance, JP, or whoever else who works for MLG posts about it

Is anyone going from Vermont?

The D.C. Event is free to spectate and open to the public
* Come out and watch teams compete for the eight coveted spots in the National Championship, and be there for the first-ever Halo Reach Event
Yes. It is free.

This might seem like I'm just being lazy, but I'm on exchange studies in Vermont (from Sweden), so I have no idea how to get around. I will go if:
1. Someone can help me get to the place, either by public transport or picking me up.
2. I can stay with someone or share a hotel cost. If someone lets me stay with them, I'd pay for a dinner or cook you food or something. I would also obviously pay for the gas if we're driving anywhere. If there's any other cost, don't hesitate to tell me. : )
3. There will be people I can hang out with.
I'd be in Washington 6:28 pm on Thursday and I'd be leaving Sunday 9 pm. If someone would like to check out the city with me, that'd be great.
EDIT: I am 21 and wouldn't mind going out for some drinks one or two of the days!
|
Tiesto plays at Ultra bar on Sat, 50 dollar tickets tho, and a shitty club with a stupid dress code for those interested
|
So i have no idea of whether or not i have a place to stay at.. does anyone have any open slots for the hotel or anything? pay whatever i need to :X floor is fine PM me please D:
So i do not have a place to stay at D: still need one
|
Any sort of plans or events going on for all the TLers going? A dinner or some hang outage would definitely be cool. Would anyone be interested in that? I haven't seen it mentioned yet.
|
I'm not sure if anything's pre-scheduled. I figure we'll all meet when the sc2 games start and then just go along with whatever we feel like doing, but I'm definitely down with meeting up with as many people as possible : )
|
Don't worry, pretty much everyone in the SC2 section will know about TL and everyone will meet up at some poitn i'm sure
|
Due to my panicked dilemma of not having a room i have stumbled across 134.25$ a night room (1bed internet breakfast) across the way from the gaylord in the residence inn. If anyone would like to split it with me.. or if anyone have a room they would like to help me split with please pm me D: i got till october 11th till i book it so.. yeah please pm fast :D
|
Does one need to buy a pass to spectate?
|
no. Spectating is free for for MLG DC.
|
We'll all probably get dinner somewhere local to the gaylord (we had originally thought about going to our typical korean bbq place but it's a bit far and transporting everyone from out-of-area would be a bit much). Should probably...look to see what's around
|
No korean bbq makes me sad 
|
have they released a schedule yet?
|
|
|
Just booked my ticket! Flying in from Toronto. Arriving Friday at noon to BWI.
P.S. Hello everyone, my first post here!
|
Last time i am ever doing this shit again.. Booking a room with 2 beds at the inn across from the gaylord called hampton inn. Look it up on google maps if you want.
Hampton Inn & Suites National Harbor/Alexandria Area Hotel
250 Waterfront Street
Oxon Hill, MD 20745
(301) 567-3531
Would like to get 3 more people to help pay for the cost but i probably wont. And i have already booked it so it wont somehow dissapear the next time i get off of work and cant book it such as the last one i was going to do. So ya pm me.
you know what, dont even need to pay anything. If anyone needs a room pm me, ill let you stay in mine for free or whatnot -.- got 3 slots open
|
XD I hope you find someone who can split it with you.
|
Damn, that sucks : / I hope you find someone who can split it with you as well. Good luck!
|
Check your PMs wonkman, hopefully we can work something out =D
|

Glad to see so many people from TL going to DC. I'll be there working on the production tech team for mlg. Raleigh was amazing and DC is shaping up to be even better, hope to see you all there!

BTW for those new to Maryland, new law came out at the beginning of the month. No cell phone usage while driving, handsfree devices only blahdeblah. But just looking out don't want to see anyone come in and get pulled over for something stupid just because they weren't aware.

I'll be there !
|
I've decided to take off that Friday so if anyone wants to meet up before hand, make it known. Is there a specific time for doors-open at this event? Either way if there is extra time beforehand we might want to scope around to find a good place for a TL dinner meet-up afterward.

hot-switching ps2 has a chance to fry computers, and they don't have time to turn off and on computers every time the person switches.

"ETT wanted to come but he's house hunting/going to an open house/signing a lease"
"But isn't that what you said at the lan 3 months ago? and isn't that why he couldn't make the lan 8 months ago?"
"Ya."

there's a parking garage that is like a quarter mile away from the gaylord that's $11 for 24 hours. I dunno the exact address of it or any more info that that though but it's where I'll be parking for sure.

I know, seriously. God, I could tell you guys horror stories... main two points to save everyone some trouble:
1) Don't EVER try to go for a "short sale". The name is very fucking misleading.
2) Get EVERYTHING inspected beforehand. If something isn't on/working at the time of inspection, fuck it and move on.
That is all.

Talk to orb or alex o.o; you're living with one, the other lives nearby and is playing lol, plus theres a ton of peopel from bethesda going, (hope they read this thread) i wish i could name names. I think Ipp is from like gaithersburg, and then theres uh, corrupt and a few others.
Outside of all that, you can also take the metro to reagan airport, which'll cost you mayb e3-4 bucks, then take a shuttle from the airport to the venue for ~12 bucks ish?
better than 200 bucks for that cab.

No worries diamond I cleared my schedule, so I can drive if we need.
This is going to be a very manner weekend!

I have a 2 door and I'm also driving Peter. Couple That with me being 6'5" and that can spell pain for someone's knees.
That said, I have driven 3 people before, so I will leave that decision to you.

Theres seriously a ton of people that live up in that area, i'd say most of the Nerd dinner gosus are actually from the maryland area. Good luck sirs and madame.

Well I'm driving regardless and I don't think you're too far. I live about 5 minutes north of Bethesda.

Hmm 6... if diamond sits in front of/ behind peter it should be ok?
By the way...I'm terrible with directions too ^^ but my car has navigation so we should be ok.

Nah, eaiser way, get to a metro stop, get to Reagan National Airport, go in there and find the "Super Shuttle" booth where you canget a ride pretty much to anywhere for like 12 bucks I think it is. One way should be anywhere from 15-18 bucks I guess it is.
|
United States7481 Posts
the official page says that 1-way super shuttle is $18. it would be easier than bus -> rail -> bus, but definitely more expensive as well.
|
Hey guys, I will be attending, but I think only for Saturday. For those of you who know, do you think I'll miss a lot of action not being there on Friday?
Also, I assume that since it's completely open to the public the seating for the SC2 area is just first come first serve?
I hope parking isn't going to be a headache.
Getting nerd chills!

last MLG this is what was scheduled for saturday:
10:00 AM - Losers Round 4
11:00 AM - Winners Round 4 / Losers Round 5
12:00 PM - Losers Round 6
1:00 PM - Winners Round 5 / Losers Round 7
2:00 PM - Losers Round 8
3:00 PM - Winners Finals / Losers Round 9
4:00 PM - Losers Finals
5:30 PM - Finals
it's probably a safe assumtion to say it'll be the same for DC, since it ran really well on time (especially compared to other MLG events)
|
Friday is just like straight 5-10 or 5-12 playing the opening rounds up, probably will be some exciting games, a lot of meeting and introducing each other and getting autographs and what have you. Saturday is when the final matches go on for starcraft and exit interviews, podiums, winners interviews, etc. will go on.
On the other side of the venue will be a ton of ridiculously loud XBL kids though, theirs goes throughout the 3 days because WoW needs a day for their matches, which'll be Sunday.
|
:O You got a problem with XBL kids? Master Chief will not approve of such comment. I should wear my Halo shirt while being in the SC2 section.
Why is it not Friday yet?
|
I wish I had the time to go on Friday too, oh well.
|
Ahhh this is gonna be a lot of fun! Wheee
|
Is it possible for me to show up just for the finals? I could probably afford a bus on sunday or whatever. Just not much more.
|
don't forget sc2 finals are on Saturday.
|
Dang, ~45 hours until the tournament starts. 40 hours until check-in and/or mini meet-ups begin! I am excite, yes?
|
you have no idea how excited i am for this... flight leaves 5am on friday then ill be there woooooo
|
Are people meeting up for food on friday/sat?
Buddy and I are interested if so
|
hopefully there are some good places to eat nearby
I'm going to cry if there is a Jimmy johns right in front of the venue.
|
So, I'm going alone and I would totally like to meet some of you guys.
|
Well off to bed, then catching a plane at 11AM!!!!! See you guys there!

Hey guys.... quick question (help asap if anyone sees this) - what's the closest metro stop to the Gaylord (is it correct that its in MD?)
|
There really aren't any within walking distance. I think the closest is across the river in VA.
|
But I mean, what's the closest - I have someone who'd pick me up , but right now the house I'm at is 20 miles from the venue, so I want to be manner and get as close as possible. Anywhere within 2 miles is close enough walking distance for me..
but ya, is there anything that's within 5 miles (any metro stop that is?)
|
I've got all my batteries and memory cards good to go for lots of interviews, footage, and photos from throughout the tournament. =D
I'll probably try to get to the venue at around 1 p.m. Friday.
|
United States7481 Posts
Eisenhower Ave is the closest, on the yellow line. it's probably 5-6 miles from venue, off the top of my head. (and yeah it's in VA)

Juts checked, that and Eisenhower (Yellow) are about the same distance.
|
King Street stop is less than 4 miles away I believe.
|
geez just got at the gaylord, 45 minutes from the airport, thought I was landing at reagan's airport, I was a Dulles T_T
|
Eisenhower and King st. are about the same distance yeah.

loll dude I took a cab, I thought it was 20 mins, cost me 85 bucks
even worse, when I got to the airport this morning I realized I had made a dumb mistake and booked my flight for october 13th.... they changed my reservation with extra fees of $643,45 easily the most expensive flight I've ever been in and it's only 2 hours lol

hopefully there are some good places to eat nearby
I'm going to cry if there is a Jimmy johns right in front of the venue.
Not that nearby but there's a bugaboo steakhouse 20 mins away from the venue. Cheapest and best prime rib you'll ever have D:.
|
Cheapest and best? This is an intriguing combination that may require exploration...

There's also a burger place about two blocks away from the hotel. They allow you to put up to 10 patties in a burger.
|
I think there's a pretty good Mexican restaurant nearby as well
|
I'll cook for anyone who lets me. I make a mean potato gratin.
|
LOL those are two quite odd adjectives together
but we're so going
|
Dunno who's going to be there and when, but I plan on getting there before 12 to wait in line to register, then i'll be looking to eat something. Unless, of course, everyone else is going to go eat while I'm sitting in line like an idiot, then I'll go eat and just register later.
|
-_- I hope it won't take too long enter. FML for not having a pp.
|
Almost time to pick this iccup.diamond scrub up from the airport!
See all you nerds tomorrow!

hm yeah maybe i will try to get there between 12 and 1 in case there's any sort of entry stuff for spectators, and just to hang around. if they have open computers though i dunno if i'll play... maybe if jp promises they won't lump randoms playing in with the replay pack =X
|
ill be in DC at 7am... will hang around resort/center til checkin and ill be wearing grey swetpants and black hoodie... please say hi so im not broed out of mind!
|
I'm pretty sure you will be stuck in a line with 30000 halo nerds for 4 hours before check-in, so good luck with that
I might get there super early too. Not sure. Still haven't decided.

your making food at my house one of these days!!!

this thread is making me insanely hungry. - . - Whatever the case hope we go to a streak place for dinnar :X
|
If anyone knows, do spectators just walk in and go where they please or do they have to sign up for a spectator pass or something?
|
Thirsty Thursday time to drink imo
|
Just did a walk through on the ground floor. There a more benches for spectators to use and a better sound set up to hear the commentary for SC2.
|
OK so who's in DC by now? Diamond and I are bored o.o;
|
Bored... that sounds like an excuse to play SC!
|
lol I'm heading to the Gaylord in like an hour. To track down that Slog4 user... :D
|
I want to come chill tonight but i'm all the way down in springfield ( I'm only 20 minutes from the Gaylord if anyone wants to swing by and get me :3 And consequently house me or drop me off :O
Edit: for the record I am joking. I'll be there tomorrow morning before noon!
|
I'd do something but I'm still technically working for the next 30 minutes
|
I'm sorta in the same boat, I can hang out past like 10 PM once I'm off work and copy a hw assignment, by then its too late though so I'll just see you bitches tomorrow. ;o
|
I can't wait to do this, hope we all can do a meetup or a drinking fest ^^

I wanna know the answer to this. I can only make Saturday, but I'm wondering how early I need to get there to get good spots.

|
will be arriving at the gaylord shortly with whitera slog and zlasher.

|
At the cadilac bar having a beer, tons of people around
|
Damn, I really want to go today but I just can't make it until tomorrow, I feel like I'm missing soooo much!!
So, any word on the amount of spectators and seats available?
Edit: Also, for those who are already there and just spectating, is it COMPLETELY open, as in, you just walk in and sit down? I'd like to know if I need to be there early tomorrow morning to wait in line for a spectator pass or something. I know it's free, but I'm so paranoid I'm going to drive really far and then it be too crowded to even get in.
|
I'll be there all day tomorrow. Bringing the roomies too.
|
I'm working one of the floor cameras. Matches are underway. Good sized crowd.
|
2Watsanator: Yes, it's completely open, just walk in and sit down And it's not that crowded tonight.

Hey guys, today was a lot of fun. I'm totally beat. A few things:
1) I found parking at the corner of Fleet and Potomac for $11 for the day. It's about 4 or 5 blocks from the center. I think someone had mentioned before, but I wanted to confirm it.
2) It seemed like that little amphitheater with the obnoxiously bright and poorly aimed lights is where the big things happen, but it also seems like there is extremely limited seating, with lots of folks hanging around outside. Will it be tough to get a seat for the finals?
3) Holy jeez Blizzard, do we need lan. Especially during the DT rush of the last match, I thought the lag would actually make someone lose.

yeah i parked there too, found a primo spot that was actually right by the exit so it was pretty nice. also the finals are at the normal place, not ove rat the amphitheater - that's only for halo
nice to meet everyone i met today (storrzerg, rubpar, nokarot, all the pros, etc), to everyone else, please come up and introduce yourself tomorrow! I'll once again be wearing a redskins hat and sweatshirt with a big "W&M" on it
|
I'll be coming on Saturday and hopefully I'll be able to meet up with the TL DC Dinner crew. I'll be the in a grey striped sweater. Zlasher has my number but i don't have his T__T. So if you are reading this Zlasher, please give me a call.

This event is insane man
I can't feel my knees and ankles and soles of my feet but it is worth every second, it is absoultely incredible meeting some of these pros and seeing how humble they are and how friendly they are.
So far my starcraft 2 poster has a ton of signatures from people like Ret and Idra, Select, LZ, djWHEAT, etc. Going to finish it off tomorrow, I'm super super excited to see everyone again.
Honestly I couldn't hvae imagined this event to be so great even as bad as the seating issue is and as tired as I am I owuld do it again 100x over. I relaly hope MLG considers coming back to DC because the SC2 section was ROCKING THE HOUSE. It was amazing how many spectators we had and the quality of some of these matchups.
|
I will be in a black shirt with white stripes and behind one of the cameras. I will come by and say hello to the spectators during breaks. If you guys want better seating at the next event (we all do) then bring it up at mlgpro.com. More voices =more attention and more solutions.
