It is a beautiful and sunny day players and casters have arrived fans waiting outside on Day 0.

The rush of fans into the patio area as the casters have a panel discussion about the upcoming plays and sign and take pictures with fans.

The discussions are extremely informal and its quite fun as many players bounce in out and out play to interact with fans.

Late into Day 0 Stephano is preparing with the many others players here we can see Parting with his coach and I believe bomber looking on.

The dream crusher from DreamHack Thorzain doesn't run out rather enjoys his player intro and revels in the crowds energy.

Consistently throughout the weekend strategies would be discussed in private and in quick short bursts lest anyone figure it out.

MC the boss toss! As much personality that MC had he was quite gracious with his win and prodded other place holders to lift their trophies to enjoy the crowds growing enthusium and energy.

Day9 utterly exhausted after casting for nearly 2 days and 84 games. He stops to catch his breathe as MANY MANY fans await him outside.

Day9's Fans thin away but still more than 30 people waiting to speak with him 1 in the morning. Sean was the most energized man I have ever met to have casted so long and to have had a solo cast of Group C games to 2 in the morning. Day9 has shown me what true passion and resolve is.!
I hope you have enjoy the photos and you can check out more of them at www.flickr.com/wshing

The only one of me on your flickr is about a quarter of my face from a shit angle. I'm offended. It doesn't even catch the "Hello my name is JingleHell" name tag I was wearing.
Good pics though. Were you the dude I saw running around in a TL shirt with a camera?Last edit: 2012-05-31 08:14:30 |

Nice pictures! Red Bull Austin was my first live sc2 event and it was so much fun!
Btw, in picture 3, it's Parting that's playing, not Squirtle. And yes, that is Bomber looking on. And in picture 5, it's Bomber walking down the aisle, not Parting. |

There was a fog machine and lighting at the venue. May have had an effect. Aside from making it impossible to recognize certain colors on the minimap on the main screen from some angles, that is. |
