Grand Final: 6th October

The opening events of WCG went smoothly without mishaps. A well organized, multi-cultural and very colorful series of shows where we had the chance to see the whole gaming community and all the brass. Samsung, ICM, game devlopers such as Bill Roper and almost as many press agents as gamers.

San Francisco

In the middle of San Francisco we found this unusually pointed Nexus that both me and proceeded to rush and destroy. -->

WCG

Highschool Band Show

Part of the show was a huge army composed of a single school band that I could swear had more people than gamers.



Gipsy dancers

These were perhaps the best show :)

Irish dance

True Irish dancing that left me slightly confused. For a few seconds I did not know if I was at River Dance or WCG. -->

Jong Woo Park CEO Samsung

God.

The Throne

God's chair.

Jong Woo's throne. He arrived about an 40 minutes into the event surrounded by his royal entourage.

Now for some of the gamers and personalities we happened to meet in assorted places. We will try and take a photo of every single Starcraft player by the end of week and release as we obtain them.

I would like to thank the admin of WGTour Erkebrand (who insists he is not drunk) and admin of SCLegacy XG3 RedCloak for lending us their hotel room internet connection and providing us with invaluable chat and company while we wrote this up. We kept them awake until 3 am. We will provide you with more photos as the days go by. Check the link below for a few more photos.
