I had the greatest weekend watching two days/evenings worth of streams, drinking, getting my smoke on and painting warhammer while watching the games. So cool to see how strong the scene is becoming. Matches between Pig and Glade were amazing, also really enjoyed the epic match between Knight and glade. Next morning i woke up and started on filterscs zerg guide, lol...influenced by the glade/pig/mafia awesome.

WANT MORE NAOW!!

You have no idea just how perfect it was for me as a spectator, TYVM YOU BAUSS

[Reere]

Just to echo what everyone's pretty much said.

Not sure if it's any personal bias, but IMO the games played over the weekend were probably the most entertaining high level matches I've ever watched compared to ALL other international tournaments.

I was born with TW/KR blood, but grew up on SEA. I couldn't be more proud / humbled to be apart of such a amazing community.

Seriously sick sick sick sick sick job guys, all of you GG WP~!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watching the games, I was so proud of our players.
Watching the stream I was so proud of the production values.
Watching Maynarde I was so proud of Maynarde.
Reading Twitter I was so proud of the buzz that was just coming off from the event.
Watching the casters I was so impressed with how they delivered.
The whole package had me just having a blast.

Happiest moment: The Moonglade v PiG series. Such great play from both.
Best moment: Fist pumping and swearing at the screen during tgun v Mafia.

Family moments:
The missus felt well enough (she was super sick) to watch 'a game' with me early on Sunday. Who would've thought it'd go for 1hr+. She loved every bit. (Infeza is amazing)

And, getting ready on Saturday morning with Highlander Jnr.

Best weekend I've had for so god damn long. Massive thanks to ACL guys, crew and our players.

Mafia vs Tgun, final game, my throat was super super sore and I didn't cheer when they introduced the players or when they asked who would win.

That said, I couldn't resist screaming in that last 5 minutes, was so intense, by far my favourite part of the event.. other than getting tickled by tasteless

Its hard really to add anything else, it was just an amazing tournament. I loved every second I got watch on stream. Everyone involved should be proud.

Infeza I loved your obs work, it was some of the best I had seen, so thank you for that.

There are so many other people to thank as well, as I said in the other thread, it made me so proud to be a part of this community. The games were great to watch, the production value was amazing, Maynarde did a great job in getting the crowd involved, the crowd were loud all day.

I can't wait for the next LAN event!

This plus nukes blew my mind, I will never forget this event

[FaDeBadger]

Single best sporting (e-sports or otherwise) event of my life. Seeing the emotion from guys like tgun and PiG when he won WCS Aus was absolutely incredible and it was only made better by getting to meet Tastosis who were the main reason I got into watching SC2 in the first place!

I don't know if it was because I was there or whether the games were actually just that damn good, but this tournament produced easily the best games I've ever seen from an SEA tournament.

KOREAN BBQ TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW **** YEAH

Venom for sleeping on the floor and giving me a bed when we got to the accommodation at 2.30 am, all the beds were full and we didn't know which room our 3rd room was ♥

Everything everyone's already said... Maynarde's MCing, Infeza's obsing, the organisation from EVERYONE, Dot's cake, and all the fun people I got got to hang out with again and the ones I got to meet for the first time. Special mentions to people I got hugs from yang, PiG, Mayo, Tasteless, Zepph, Ninja, Maynarde... hmm was that all?

Oh and KnightLight for the bloody coolest game ever and for hanging out with us at Korean BBQ and generally being cool

[SmokyMcPot]

Incredibly proud of everyone that competed and the ACL guys for running it all sensationally.
We had a real good showing to the rest of the world ^^

Most mentally draining weekend ever.

Totally worth it!

Knight's twitter is tileslight (waiting for asra to correct me if I'm wrong). But he really doesn't post anywhere at all, facebook, twitter, TL or sc2sea. So What everyone has to do now is mass mass mass tweet the dude and get him all warm and fuzzy so he will hang around here more often and get some love.

I'm not sure if ACL has got someone who's going to go through the twitch vods and highlight all the games (I think it's a good idea...) - I've cut a highlight of the Moonglade vs Knight game (had to be 2 parts though because it was unfortunately in the middle of a split) - so if someone could approve that it'd be good; or perhaps cut your own I don't care - but it really should be done, if not at least for promotional sake!

Additionally it'd be heaps better if it wasn't 2 parts; so I'd suggest that someone at ACL cut the highlight, then the VOD can be ripped from twitch using jdownloader or something; then just splice it together in adobe/vegas/whatever so that it's all 1 vod, then get that uploaded and start linking it for great justice!

Until that time, if you want to see the game it's here http://www.twitch.tv/aclprosc2/b/328307580 at 1 hour 9 minutes into the vod.

Overall I really enjoyed the event (for the unfortunately short time I was there due to flight issues...) and I appreciate the effort everyone put in, you were all wonderful! I'm going to do some social media data analysis stuff when I can this week, and I'll have a better write up coming up in a blog soon.

Busiest, most draining and emotional 3 days of my life. It was all worth it when I was finally able to come out from the player lounge and join the crowd of screaming fans. Still haven't slept. Happy.

[Cyanide]

• Pigs victory shout
• Infeza's top notch obsing
• Iaguz's axe
• A cake so amazing that Tasteless looked really touch and was left totally speechless
• Tgun's emotion
• Top level games that were really entertaining

[ACL Beware]

Far too many people to thank but if you are going to thank anyone it has to be Vanz and JB. They both put in months and months of ridiculously hard work to make this event happened. Worked tirelessly to make sure players, casters, staff and spectators were looked after and did more to make this event happen then most will ever know. They above anyone else deserve your praise. These two guys will make sure Australian eSports is put on the map.

Send them both love on twitter! Especially JB who gets no where near the praise he deserves!

This was the sickest event in Australia EVER. I have enormous respect for everyone involved for making this event the best it could possibly be. THANKYOU.

[Malice]

This whole weekend was absolutely amazing. For one weekend, I didn't play Starcraft at all until it was all over. I was just hooked this stream until it was all done. I have so much respect for the production and everyone involved in making such an amazing event possible.
