NaDa and herO[jOin] were in Sydney Thursday afternoon, 7th Jan.

The opportunity to meet and play Korean Progamers greets Sydney-based StarCraft players, as two WeMade FOX players are here on a TV Commercial Production and photoshoot. The organisers are looking for competitive Aussie-based players to compete against the progamers as they are so far undefeated.

During their stay, they have team of local people making internet clips of behind the scenes of their photo shoot. The players are looking to play against top Australian players in Sydney in the afternoon (from midday onwards) on 7th Jan. after their photo shoot on Saturday.

We had 2 Korean pro gamers compete against two Australian NSW B-Team players (as the A-Team members were all held up or on vacation unfortunately) and about 10-15 onlookers who are clients and agency professionals for Korea Air and LG. We can accommodate 5 spectators in addition to the players, with time for photos etc.

ALL SPECTATOR PLACES WERE FILLED

However, if it is not a huge disadvantage for you to come to the LAN cafe and hang around to see if you can get a photo or whatever then do it, it may be worth it.

If you are going to be skipping work to try and get a glance at the players then I wouldn't do it as nothing is guaranteed

Autographs (in order)
Unfortunately they had no time for additional autographs, just the few that we got for personal use or close friends.

TJ Shon, the production manager has said that there will be similar future events with other pro-teams with More players, more pro-teams, tournaments, prizes and more giveaways in Sydney and also maybe New Zealand and Melbourne. I will certainly keep you all informed as best I can.

Cheers,
Brendan (dEL).
