White_Ra, Frogmite, Byrnsy and Flamga say hi!! only one zealot has charge here.

White Ra is the most awesome eSports star I've met! Super friendly just like in the videos.. I was picking up Eddie at the airport when i ran into him and kelly! He had fans waiting for him at the airport and he took pictures and signed autographs for all of them! Seeing the way he interacts with his fans.. wow hes probably the player i respect most in the world now. He is just so genuinely nice to everyone. I went hotel searching with him for a bit cause he wasn't happy with small hotel room (lol) then we had dinner with the Australian and Singaporean guys at Boon Tong Kee. He specifically requested for a Tiger beer to go with his meal lol. And then byrnsy ate a flower. He said it "tastes organic". And frogmite topped that by eating a flower with chilli sauce. These are like real flowers used as decoration. haha ill post the pictures and videos sometime soon.

The rest of us (ninja, Mafia eddie etc) have to be down early tomorrow so we didn't join them for drinks.. Theres still Friday night!! (After group stage) Apparently these are the start times for the open bracket. To be safe, just go down the the venue (SITEX) at 10am SGT. Seeya all there tomorrow!

Note: There are 10 slots to be filled up in groups and only 14 players in the open bracket! I wonder what's gonna happen! Nvm its about 20+ players i think liquipedia wasn't updated.

Venue:
Expo Hall 4B, 5 & 6

Open bracket is tomorrow, groups on friday.

Games Start:10AM!!!

He's right, MaFia should be ashamed of making it to the global finals and finishing in equal placing to the likes of Socke, HuK, MajOr, GLaDe and rOrO. Especially in his group full of nobodies.

Yes it is tiring to watch us get undermined by people who don't even know us.

But overreacting very publicly makes us look like were sore and super sensitive. Just practice and get better and do better in events. Less talk, more play. But the guy is a douche and should have done research instead of speaking out of his ass.
