Just finished the last day of Blizzcon! And spent the last several hours going through 1000+ photos to arrive at the final 86 -__-

I was lucky enough to have been given a press pass by WellPlayed, which meant that during the day, I wouldn't die of dehydration and could run up to the press room for soda and coffee.

But even luckier than that, I was able to help out the GSL with some photography. Indeed, if you watched the end credits of the GSL Finals on Friday, you might have seen this:

That's me in the third line :DDD

I emailed John (thanks to a tip from Doa!) several weeks prior to Blizzcon, and GSL graciously let me contribute what I could do making the finals as memorable as possible.

In any case, here are photos from Blizzcon at large and GSL Finals in particular.

(The full album is available here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nodnod/sets/72157627957222786/with/6271609635/ There are quite a number of photos that aren't embedded in the post because it was getting really long.)
