I"m affiliated with ROOT and know them both rather well don't take it so seriously next time guys



Okay well you thought I had a lot of photos last time? I got more today, I tried to cover more than just the ROOT guys today even though they were still my focus when they were playing. But there was a lot more time where no ROOT people were playing so I was free to wander around



A side note about the conditions, it's hard to see from all the MLG coverage but the room is basically as dark as a cave. And some areas have super bright lighting while others are just pure darkness this makes it rather difficult to photograph in there and the only way to get around this is to just take TONS of photos. I had to throw away a ton of uselessly blurry, out of focus, washed out, too dark etc. photos. Also because of how dark it is some of the exposure times are super long so I missed some moments I really wanted to catch for you guys. So because of that some of the photos arent actually that good in quality but if it was a moment I really wanted to show you then I didn't toss it.



Anyways ranting and backstory aside make sure you visit





Destiny and LzGamer greeting some fans before their matches





I caught Destiny actually playing yeah





Destiny and Lz





LzGamer





Incontrol victorious over TLO (The crowd went nuts)





Well you see the reason why I hate horses...





Naniwa looking like a badass against Drewbie





Drewbie and Naniwa with their game faces on





A pretty good shot of the player area





There was a pretty good sized crowd just around the open bracket area





I honestly... don't know I really don't





Incontrol was getting mobbed, everyone kept saying they'll miss him on State of the Game





Incontrol with mor efans





Ugh that game was tough





Okay get ready to make the comeback you can do it Drewbie





Naniwa looks unphased





Hotbid presumably trolling in his natural habitat (Twitter)





Closeup on naniwa





Drewbie looks more than ready





A god of war showed up while they were playing

In an honestly hysterical moment in game 3 Naniwa pauses

July looking badass





mOoNan squaring off against July





July looking more focused





Wow that game was tough





July getting refocused for game 2





Okay July you can do this





mOoNan warming his hands up for game 2 (it's pretty freezing in there)





Game faces back on





Incontrol achieved nerd baller status by sitting in the badass booths





The crowd was even bigger today





SelecT looking badass while he plays





Oh hey look it's ROOTFayth





July's turn in the baller enclosure





KiwiKaki facing off against July





Sheth setting up to face MMA





MMA is a scary dude





Game on





You can literally watch this guy walk in front of my camera... in a still photograph new levels of trolling reached.





Sheth looks worn out after game 1





But still gives me a smile through the booth before the next game starts

(really mad that this picture messed up since it's such a good shot. In comparison to everywhere else in the room the booth's are WAY too bright and he's overexposed but somehow it still needed a long exposure time... figure that one out.)





Sheth: How is MMA even possible? Is he human?





"Phbbbbt!"





So can MMA and I throw some T-shirts to the crowd?





MMA tossing a t-shirt. The long exposure time actually lets you see the tshirt in flight.





Not starcraft related at all I just had to record the guy walking around in a Gumby suit





Destiny chilling with FXO Slog, Anthony, Tgun, and VT Whiplash





Why do people glare at me when I point cameras at them? (Destiny flipped me off shortly afterwards... Idra what have you started?)





TLO and SixjaxMajor in the foreground, CatZ and qxc behind that





CatZ and qxc squaring off





Optikzero watching qxc





Optikzero doing... ? Fayth laughing at him and other FXO members watching the match.





Someone just did a funny I guess?





Another grrr at long exposure moments as qxc and catz pose nicely in good sportsmanship





qxc post game





Everyone watching the game on stream





MMA watching MC play





MMA after MC won





MC with fans





Losira on the other side of the room getting ready for one of his last matches





Sheth and AskJoshy watching the matches





Why does everyone look at me like that when I take pictures of them? QQ

JP and Thorzain





Sheth with Sjow and the head honcho of Dignitas





Sheth Morrow and Sjow





Oh hey Naniwa





Haypro shows up hey guys I can't fit you all in the frame anymore... also Hotbid lurking in the shadows





I assume hotbid just trolled everyone by their reactions





Slush and Fayth talking to the dignitas guys while Kiwi shows up





Kiwi clowning around, Fayth looks so shocked at his behavior hahaha





Fayth clowning around with Dignitas fellows





Okay what they're actually doing is funnier... I believe this is where they were teaching eachother new swear words in different languages





Everyone's laughing Gretorp seems unimpressed





Thorzain Morrow Select and Haypro chilling





Fayth SLush and Thorzain hanging around





More joking around, they kicked us out shortly afterwards and everyone went in different directions.



As usual MLG was a boatload of fun. And I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. I got home way earlier today so I took more time to clean up the photos and of course that means Im posting these later than yesterday sigh. Anyways one more day of MLG hope you guys are enjoying the pictures.
