Must-watch photographs by rebehayan. I tried translating the comments since the author is also a fan rather than just a randomly hired (amazing) photographer. The translations may not always be accurate. The few "(?)" is the author questioning himself. Please don't forget to credit the source if you re-share these anywhere~

[image loading]

Arrived to the SSL group selection ^^.. Waited for about 2 hours.. The audience was younger than I had expected..
Seeing the players I've always only watched on the TV, I enjoyed it a lot. Even closer up to the players, they're still looking pretty~! The stargirls as well ^^ Nice...

[image loading]
I arrived to see Mr. Sonic checking in on the stage.
The camera doesn't show it but he put on some weight.^^;

[image loading]
The stage was illuminated with all sorts of colours
and thinking of the crowd that arrived, I was overwhelmed.

[image loading]
Personally, I didn't watch many of the old OSL and MSL group selections
because they focused more on the talking rather than the game.
Then again, the reason I came here today was..
All of my favorite players gathering in one place
so I can capture it with my camera ^^;

[image loading]
Every seat in the studio was taken..
They said about 1000 people went back home in the end.
On both sides, many people were watching standing on the stairs as well.

[image loading]
Kim Carrier, Sonic and Lee Seung-Won.
The forces behind the Sonic StarLeague arrived.

[image loading]
I have seen him once in person back in 2000,
but it seemed like he couldn't remember me .. ㅠㅠ;;
my beloved commentator ^^ It is Kim Carrier.


Click the spoiler below to continue!
+ Show Spoiler [Please, go on...] +
[image loading]
The commentator with the charming voice, Lee Seung-Won ^^
I love him~

[image loading]
As the first player, the soju-loving??
(T)Mind came out. haha
His eyes are sharp~!

[image loading]
Racing car model Cheon Bo-Yeong~!

[image loading]
Cheon Bo-Yeong pretty as she smiles ^^

[image loading]
Did (T)Mind prepare well for this StarLeague??

[image loading]
(P)Mini interviewed by Cheon Bo-Yeong

[image loading]
Cheon Bo-Yeong hehe

[image loading]
(P)Pure was more talkative than I thought. ^^

[image loading]
All the fans said (P)Pure's cloth matched well,
I tried to capture his unique boots.

[image loading]
(T)Midas really looked like a baby before,
but he was already discharged from the military..
Time really flies fast ^^

[image loading]
(T)Sea received many cheers.
I know he debuted as a kid,
but he still looks exactly the same haha

[image loading]
Fashion leader (T)Sea? haha

[image loading]
(T)Sea looks like a newly wed groom~ ^^

[image loading]
(P)Jaehoon came out~

[image loading]
The player I personally love, (P)Bisu ^^

[image loading]
Really not making justice to the combined powers
of the godlike skin and beauty of the Taek-god~!

[image loading]
Looking so well~! hahaha

[image loading]
An excessive amount of pictures ^ ^
I took over 600 pics at the event.
[Part 1 of the blog ends here]

Now we can start for real..
Terror, Pusan and many other famous progamers will come out. ^^
It was a really fun time.

[image loading]
This is (P)Pusan.
Most of the progamers put on a lot of weight,
so it was a miserable(?) view.
Really cool haha..

[image loading]
(P)Pusan...

[image loading]
N-White's girl group member Ha-Kyeong.
She looks like a natural beauty.
Pretty look~!

[image loading]
Safety Toss (P)Zeus,
arrived dressed to match his reputation.

[image loading]
Although he has aged, he's still radiating passion(?). ^^

[image loading]
(P)Britney.. looks better in his glasses haha ;;

[image loading]
But the Gods are fair..

[image loading]
He's dating such a pretty girlfriend. Britney~!

[image loading]
(P)Shuttle

[image loading]
He makes a stronger impression than you'd think.
Since his eyebrows go way up, I guess.

[image loading]
(P)Shuttle

[image loading]
It's my favorite (T)Mong.
An excellent terran player ^^
He looks a bit different in the camera.

[image loading]
Showing his true face without hesitation haha..

[image loading]
(Z)Terror's ceremony~!
He turned into a dog ㅠㅠ.
The most famous BJ Terror,
ceremony.. really amazing~!

[image loading]
(P)Pusan enjoying(?) Terror's drip~!

[image loading]
(Z)Terror looking as if he's trying to solve a puzzle.. ^^

[image loading]
The mischievous expression goes really well with the look.

[image loading]
Very reserved ~ (P)Movie

[image loading]
The 2 metres high (T)Shinee~!
It's really true~!

[image loading]
Everyone had a great time.
I missed capturing a lot of fun stories.

[image loading]
(P)Movie looking amazing,
he said he caught a cold~

[image loading]
(Z)Larva making eye contact with me~
You're not really hurting, are you?? haha

[image loading]
(P)Tyson~
He looks a bit like a movie star..

[image loading]

[image loading]
(Z)by.hero
an excellent Zerg player.
really cool play~!

[image loading]
(T)sSak ^^

[image loading]
I tried to take another shot of (P)Bisu alone.

[image loading]
Two times consecutive SSL winner (Z)Killer,
I don't know his Afreeca nickname~
He must be really good.

[image loading]
And just like that, the group selection was over.
A lot of diverse events and various cosplay as well..

They said about 1000 people went back home in the end.

Wow :O that's pretty awesome, the turn out I mean. Sucks that so many had to go home though, I would have been pissed. Pays to go early I guess.

Thanks for sharing these, the photos are amazing.

Also, Britney's girlfriend man :O He must have some moves
Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt
