I live less than a block away so there was little to no reason not to attend.

It's my first time going to a gaming related event, and it was fantastic.
I wish I went with people I knew, but even just by myself it was worth the $20 seat.
Nobody was being overly obnoxious like at most events and best of all we got to interact with White-Ra face to face!
It was also nice to be able to ask him a question in person and to take a photo with him afterwards.

Hopefully we'll see more events like this throughout Canada.

Just recently returned from seeing white ra. Was fantastic, though it was a long day because most people had to work the next day it was just right, The show matches were very fun to watch (3-1 To White-Ra) He was always opened to questions and very nice, after the event there was a meet and greet where you can get a signature and photo and converse a bit,

Overall i paid $25 for my ticket but the experience was Priceless.

Hope he come to Toronto again.

Just got back, awesome experience. Paid $20 but would of paid more. The event was awesome and so was the community, it was easy to walk up to people and make some friends, found a couple people to add to my B.Net. WhiteRa, as expected, was awesome and nice, he signed two of my posters and I got a picture with him. Please come back to Canada.

Great Showmatch, Great People, Great venue, Great Night.

I would love to see more events like this in the future. This was a total success in my opinion.

Was fun, kindo, could be much more, felt rushed... come back after Vegas Ra!

And Hello to all who went to the even from the guy in the strange grey jacket and grey hat kind of thingy, idk what you call it in English.

Was fun to hear when Ra forgot some words and would ask the interview guy in Russian, that was so cute.

What a beautiful Wife-Ra too, how come your hiding her away from our eyes?

And generally the amount of females was rather staggering, did not expect to see so many members of the beautiful gender.

They also mentioned something about getting high... I mean barcrafts soon, any idea when? lol

I was one of the lucky two people called on stage for winning the raffle. I have a gaint sticker poster signed by White-Ra now

Uploading some pics soon, this is a one of a kind poster

Thanks White-Ra & an I <3 eSports.

For those wondering about turnout 150ish people who attended. A friend of mine has the camera and will be emailing the pictures shortly, we both drove 3 hours to Toronto from Hanover / Owen Sound northern Ontario, we met people from Oakville, London and mostly people from Toronto.

For the showmatch they found a gamer (Henry, he used the event SC2 account not his own so I don't know his username) going to University of Toronto who was ranked 20 Grand Master (American Server) who manage to take one game off White-Ra making for a 3-1 showmatch that was fun to watch.

Overal a great event, everyone was able to shout out specail tatics and questions they had. When show ended White-Ra stayed around to chat and sign anything fans brought up to him. White-Ra was so nice he even signed my friends poster and made it out to his two children telling them more GG more skill. He is going to show it to his kids when they grow up (their twins and currently 2 years old) so there is at least one parent out there who will let their kids become pro gamers if they want, after they finish school of course

EDIT: until I get the other pictures I took a low quality one of all the merchandise they had and the sticker poster I won:

The stickers and poster were $2 each. The sticker poster on the left is one of a kind and signed by White-Ra making it priceless

Was a sick event - can't believe I got picked out of all the questions to play a game vs whitera. I now know what it feels like to fall victim to the mighty special tactics.
