Hey guys just wanted to share with everyone how TGX was for me . I only went for TGX on Sunday afternoon so I probably did not experience everything :P


Arrival!

Alright so I arrived at roughly 2pm and was super excited like most people would. Arrived to see nirvAnA vs RedArchon being casted on the main stage, so I sat down and joyfully watched the games. Took photos every now and again.


Mezza/Jaczie casting(sry about the blurriness took the photo on my phone :P)

Then the games ended and SC2 fans began to move out to make room for people who want to watch the next event. I began to walk around, looking at different booths and games being played, was disappointed to find that there was no screen dedicated to SC2 . Wandered around for about forty-five minutes looking at everything there.


Competitors

Unfortunately for me(and all those who came specifically for SC2) there was no way for us to watch any of the SC2 games that were not on the main stage being casted. I sat down next to the stage and observed a few games being played inside the players area, noting a few faces I knew from sc2sea.com.

About 3.30pm at this point. More or less walked around the entire hall and decided to go to the game store there. There were no new games though(they may have been sold out on like the 1st/2nd day of TGX but i don't know :P)


Found this guy in the corner

Finally decided to sit down next to the main stage and just chat on sc2sea.com . Was randomly chatting when mezza asked me where I was and came looking for me. We met and he brought me backstage(and thus ending my boredom once and for all! THANK YOU MEZZA! )

At backstage I met with Frogmite as well and began to watch him cast a couple of games! Jaczie was sleeping in the corner . After a while, a couple of SC2 players came backstage and began watching some casts too, these people included nirvAnA and Escapist(however due to my introvertness IRL I could not talk to them(why must I be so shy...)

Jaczie woke up and began watching Frogmite cast too(I barely managed a 'hi' due to my shyness...). However the joys of watching the casts had to stop after a short while and those of us who were not casters were brought back to the main TGX hall.

Back at the hall, in the players area, a laptop was showing the TGX SC2 stream! The SC2 players who were once in the backstage quickly congregated around the laptop, I watch it from the outskirts of the player area :P, and began watching the casts.

However, a organizer/referee(I don't actually know what exactly he was) came and pushed the SC2 players out and he put an end to the stream viewing. Luckily, we did not have to wait long before the TGX Regional SC2 Finals was put on the main stage

There we watched the 2nd game of the finals(1st game was played off-stage due to DOTA), RedArchon vs Ender where Ender was 1-0. The finals ended with the 2nd game where Ender won to become the TGX Regional SC2 Champion.

Soon, the awards ceremony began and one by one the medals and cash money was given. The day ended once the awards ceremony ended and the hall began to empty out.


SC2 WCG Winners!


TGX Regional SC2 Winners!

Overall I think that TGX was good, although SC2 needed its own screen for the games being casted. Thanks SO much to Mezza for bringing backstage for that short period, it was really nice to meet you and Frogmite ! Looking forward to the next SG SC2 LAN event!(Hopefully can get over my introvertness by then, fingers crossed!)

I have some footage I recorded for Day 2. Especially for the benefit of those watching the stream at home or someplace cause' during the 1st game between Mineski and ProCobo the stream sorta gone GG and died. Quality might be bad but the camera phone was all that I had that day. For those wondering, I was seated amongst the audience for the SC2 Match that morning.

Cheers.

Btw, good commentating Jaczie and Mezza, diction can be better and I know you're trying your best to shield the player's actions to try not to let both parties find out what each of them are doing.
