Wasn't sure if I should make a new topic for this, but I just took so many photos and I know everyone's kind of Brood War deprived right now, so... enjoy!

also, seems pretty obvious, but spoiler warning.

Gotta say, their player boxes were kind of fail. You couldn't see either of them at all, because the window was so small, and the glare was pretty bad (so one of the camera guys had to hold up a black sheet to block the sun whenever they did a closeup.

People were asking him to sign all sorts of things: cellphone cases, park maps, money, anything they could find.

Afterwards, Bisu and Coach Park went to go watch the Beyblade tournament.

I guess the Bakugan guys were big fans of SC too.

Just as I was about to leave, Stork came back for the awards, so I followed to see if I could get some pictures of Taekbang moments ^^

They hung out with each other the rest of the night and seemed pretty close, which made me happy xD I did manage to get a picture with them both, and go here to see it.

SC, SF and WC3 finals to be broadcasted by MBC on 13th Oct 6pm KST. Might just be the highlights only though.

So yes, there will be VODs but maybe not of the whole match.

Sweet, thanks for the pics.

Those foreign players, are they all players of the Starcraft competition or are they including other games?

I'm not sure about the other games, but for Starcraft, there were players from Korea, China, Colombia, Kyrgyzstan, Thailand, and Uzbekistan.

The foreign players in the last photo? That was for all the other games as well. But I'm assuming it's only the ones who actually won first through third place, because I don't see a couple of the foreign Special Force teams that were there on Friday.

Great photos, thanks for sharing. How many spectators turned out for the event? It's hard to tell from the pictures.

Truly an International Esports Festival.

They should have picked up DotA or LoL or SC2 if they really believed in globalization of Esports.

It's pretty much IEF prerogative to do whatever they want and in these case to support their local scene . Sc2 has their gsl and all the hype events already .

There were about 200 spectators in the seats I think. The festival wasn't just the e-sports tournaments. I'd say most of the people there were locals who brought their kids to enjoy the various activities provided (it was kind of like a fair, with games and booths). Because Yongin is pretty far from Seoul (it took me about 2 hours to get there from where I live), I don't think any of the usual SC fans bothered to travel that far to watch.
