Hi,

I don't usually post on TL that much, and I'm not sure if this is the right place to post such a thing, but I have followed Broodwar for a long time and am currently living in Osaka, Japan. I had two friends visiting from America today, and we were walking around Kyoto visiting temples and stuff, when I suddenly stumbled upon 4 SKT1 members.

The two guys on the left are protoss players, then there's Best[White], and the guy on the right is apparently the protoss coach. It looks like the SKT1 team was on vacation and everybody split up into 3-4 groups and went all over Kyoto to visit different places (including Bisu and Fantasy). At that time I thought.... what are the odds that that one vacation which they probably take all year would be in Kyoto, Japan, and what are the odds that I who also probably go to Kyoto no more than once a year happen to meet them in front of the Kyoto Imperial Palace at that particular instant?

They asked me where I was from and I replied ("Vietnam"). To be honest they looked really happy that somebody recognized them in Japan. I congratulated them on the STX Cup win, to which they replied it's all thanks to to Fantasy's all-kill. Best told me he was supposed to go after Fantasy, to which I replied jokingly it's OK even if Fantasy fails Best would all-kill anyways :D We were having a really good 2-3 minutes of conversation. And no...they don't really speak English and most of it was hand gestures and English Korean.

That's pretty amazing. I remember there's some blog where someone met a progamer in France. What are the chances of this and that?

That's pretty cool yo, I'm glad you got to meet them ^_^. Being the fanboy that I am, I'd be pretty damn nervous trying to talk with them.

dude, Best has some really wacky fingers. and he's taller than I expected..?
The probability of Kim Carrier getting all those predictions wrong is similar to the probability Flash loses a TvT. Kim Carrier MUST BE a genius. His only big mistake... STORK.

I would die if I bumped into Bisu on the street

nice, I would only recognize BeSt. And if the guy in yellow didn't have a SKT shirt, I am not even sure I would go and say "sup BeSt !"

You should have followed them to see Bisu, Fantasy, Boxer and iloveoov !
