Sign #1: Tyler
This was the only player I decided to support directly through signage. My wife, who does not follow anything SC related but knows how much of a fan of Tyler I am, asked if she could help in making a Tyler sign. I gave her some reference material and this is the end result:
I stood behind Tyler for nearly all of his games holding this sign. At the end of the first night, we ran into Day[9]. I had no intentions of having this sign autographed by anyone, but after he signed my friend's mouse pad he asked "Did you want me to sign that?" Since it is actually physically impossible to say no to Day[9], and I had nothing else for him to sign, his mark is now prominently present in the center.
Sign #2: Foreigner Win Rates by Facial Hair
A lot of players I like have been rocking facial hair lately, so I decided to indirectly show my support for them. It definitely came in handy when Idra was melting faces with his macro against the likes of Boxer and Bomber.
Sign #3: Protoss Hopes
The name plates on the sign have velcro on the back, and there are velcro placeholders in every column. To be honest, I made this thinking the left column would be empty fairly early on during Championship Sunday. Not that I didn't have any faith in the Protoss players, but given the way the GSL has been going, and considering all of the non-Protoss Korean powerhouses that were there, it was a logical assumption to make. Thankfully, that column will forever remain with one name in it, and will serve as a reminder of how amazing the tournament was.
Sign #4: My Liquid Brony
I wanted to have something memorable signed by every member of my favorite team, so I threw this together with my limited Paint.Net skills and had it printed professionally. For reference, it's about 22"x15". I've only seen about 4 episodes of the show, and I based the character selection off of that limited knowledge.
I was able to procure every autograph except the elusive Hero's, which I'll have to get at the next MLG .
Every player that signed it seemed to enjoy it, and bystanders praised it as well. Some quotes include, IIRC:
"Oh yeah, I heard about this one." - Haypro
"That's hilarious." - Sheth
"Why am I in the corner all by myself?" - Ret
"I should wear my hair like that." - TLO
Well, that's it. Hope you enjoyed them. Looking forward to the next LAN event I'm fortunate enough to attend, because this was one of the most fun weekends I've had in a long time.
