Last week I went to Dreamhack Valencia. I took part in this event once in 2014. You can read about it here -
Dreamhack Valencia 2014. My impressions did not differ significantly. I am a bit sad that WCS does not allow Koreans to compete for points in foreign tournaments but otherwise the event was pretty much as exciting as the previous one. Yes, I did play and lost 0-2 to
Mana and 0-2 to
RiSky.
Here are the pictures:

Me playing in the tournament. Next to me is
Bly who helped me with some explanations about the tournament server settings. Quite a nice guy. Sadly I did not take an "official" picture with him.

Neeb. Neeb seems a nice guy but he tends to hang around alone. I guess it is hard to make friends with people that you eliminate in tournaments all the time.

With the guy who plays the most interesting and fun StarCraft II in the past couple of years
Has. Sadly this not always works. Picture taken minutes after he was eliminated

We did not want to stalk some people whom we already had pictures with. Specifically Stephano, Vortix, InControl and ToD were there in
2014 and we took pictures with them. We love these guys :)
