I share a lot of photos with everyone on a regular basis, but I don't think I've really spoken about all the crazy things that have happened since I first started visiting matches as a somewhat confused (I didn't even know what a mutalisk was.) Khan fan back in December 2007.
Here is a list dedicated to all the weird and wonderful things that have become common place (or are unique in their own right.) to the Korean esports scene;
2007: The (scarily) early times.
I make no apologies for my fan behaviour. I was young and clueless back in those days.
~ Fending off my Irish co-worker's attempts to sneak a bottle of soju into a present for Go.Go and only discovered I'd failed *after* he recieved the box.
+ Show Spoiler +
~ Watching MBC staff fail to notice they'd hung a Proleague banner upside down for over an hour before Proleague and the ensuing chaos when Ruby was grumpily ousted from his seat so they could remove it.
~ Seeing eSTRO chowing down on McDonalds before a match (my first time shooting backstage at COEX.)
~ The Free hugs day where Bisu gave me the politest (and possibly most confused.) hug ever and Saint was forced by a gleeful Light to dance to a pop song.
~ Accidentally giving Cloud a pair of pink, fluffy, rabbit shaped earmuffs.
~ Meeting all members of the Khan team for autographs whilst they were either going to or coming from toilets. Even when we tried to avoid them by walking past a far flung toilet Jihyun appeared.
~ Firebathero's failed oranges ceremony using oranges laid out by myself on the team benches. (Later on I told him it was hilarious, but rubbish.)
~ Having our photos taken with Stork and Firebathero (My Irish co-worker says she was seconds from pinching FBH's behind,but restrained herself.)
~ Accidentally making Bisu late for an ACE match because he didn't know he was faking out and playing instead of Sea.
~ Jangbi's cyworld photo around December 2007 wearing a ridiculous white bear hat and mittens given to him by myself in a fit of madness.
~ Watching Frozean get annoyed during our photo shoot because FBH knocked over his smoothie.
~ Almost getting lynched by ACE fangirls for taking one of the second row seats via ability to run faster than them.
~ Having to be helped by OGN fangirls to distinguish YarnC from Luxury.
~ Getting on television around 20 times for making crazy signs for players (mainly FBH and Ruby.) To the point of co-ordinating a ceremony for my group of fellow foreign friends who attended Proleague.
~ Watching with amusement and horror as my other co-worker flirted with Hwasin through a glass door.
~Seeing Bisu trip over a cable, his own feet and a table all in one Proleague.

2008: Less Fangirling, more chaos.
2008 was a tad less crazy and yet in many ways, more so...
~ Turning up at the Khan fanmeeting and doing a massive group ceremony with our team including TT, Coach Kang, Juni and another team member who I can't remember. Also watching players get covered in flour and pop balloons with their bums.

2009: Finally calming down a bit.
I've settled into a more professional role now and don't really see myself as attending events as a fan any longer, but that doesn't mean strange things don't happen any more.

I'm sure I'm forgetting something here and there, but that's about the sum of all the random stuff that's happened at PL since 2007.
