It's really hard to get emotions after the match on a photo. In most cases, players (both SC2 and LoL) shake hands really shortly and at one of the players' places, behind the monitors. Try coming both in front and actually holding that moment for a while, so we can get better pictures, please! ;)
Saturday, 9 Mar 2013 at 14:00 – Overpacked – DreXxiN
LoL tounaments are going to need bigger venues soon. The crowd is max capacity and fans are trying to get in and/or watch from outdoors at every door in the freezing rain. Unbelievable.
