Checking Out the E-Sports in Van Today

Funny thing is I do not even play this game and did not know what the hell was going on half the time! :) Congrats to TSM, fellow Canucks (well .. 3 of them are anyway) .. they will be moving on to the Summer Finals.

Took some pics ..

Good people having a good time!

I met a lot of great people .. many Americans came up for the sold out event - there seemed to be as many C9 fans there as were rooting for TSM. It went all the way to the 5th match to decide the winner .. lots of very loud cheering, good music .. positive happy people.

I love the whole idea of esports! The prizes are massive, the sponsorships as well .. and these sold out events are a sign of things to come.

But, it was really all about Pigeon!

This poor bird got trapped in the Arena for both days of the event .. and became quite famous! Even had his own Twitter feed!
