Hello everybody. Today was a special day, because e-stars started at 10:00am. Before commentating the day, I just notice something who really made my day. I received results of my Korean midterm exam. Really happy, I got it with 89%. The most important will be the final exam end of August but well, really happy. After that, I rushed on the station and I took subway with my girlfriend to go to the event. Two weeks ago, I talked with Cassandra (Grubby’s girlfriend) and we planned again to meet together to support Grubby and talk during the competition (we did the same thing for the ESWC Masters of Cheonan). Hansol and me arrived on the place and decided to go to the StarCraft 2 area, in order to play the beta for our first time.
Unfortunately, it was forbidden to take pictures behind computers etc. So I just took a video about the StarCraft 2 area and some pictures about the area too. Let’s watch that!

Here we are!
Go go go!
Anyway, my girlfriend tried to take a picture of me playing SC2 but… Blizzard Staff was behind me…
Ready to play!
The StarCraft 2 area, here everybody could play during 30 minutes or more!
I really enjoyed StarCraft 2 with people. It was awesome because they made many different strategies that I never saw on StarCraft. In my opinion I still prefer the first one, because of the game play. StarCraft has a charm that StarCraft 2 doesn't have. But, this is a beta. So we can;t really judge right now about that. Just I'm giving my impression during one hour of game (I guess it's not enough to judge too but well, when I started StarCraft I really liked directly, not the same feeling than StarCraft 2).
After that, we decided to go the main area, the Heritage tournament was running. There, we met Nick “Tasteless” Plott, we talked a little bit and he is always awesome and kind. That’s really great, he broadcast the event with Artosis. Everybody appreciate that. Afterwards, we met Yoan “ToD” Merlo and we stay with him. We watched two important matches: BoxeR vs YellOw and sAviOr vs NaDa. I took photos and videos about the atmosphere the area, it was awesome. Let’s watch some moments during this match!

That’s finish for today. It was a really good day which show a lot of good things.I will write again for the second day about the event again, and take pictures and videos. I don’t know if Sunday I could attend there but I think it will be ok! I just would like to watch the ProLeague… so I will see!
PS: Damn Elric, that’s too bad… we called many times and impossible to meet there… please come back tomorrow or Sunday! |
