Pax and World Cup

RAWR!

So the next two vids were Pax Prime and League of Legends international finals. Pax held the national regional finals. I was lucky enough to get to be there!

At Pax, they handed out Aracade Sona skins, Riot Graves, and for the first 300 people, which due to being my brother's sister and him insisting we were over 2 hours early, got Pax Siv skin too! I luv my skins (well, cept Graves, don't really care about him) and in all honesty, I FREAKED out on Mrs. Ryze when I got it, and she just laughed and hugged me, about how much I LOVE Arcade Sona skin.

I love rainbows, love Sona, love classic gaming, and love the 80's. She is like Rainbowbrite gaming awesomeness and I love her. Thank you, Riot, for making her just for me ;). Anyhoo, the National Regional Finals were fun, and got lots of fun swag and all, and was sad CLG didn't take it, but least they placed. It was pretty awesome to be surrounded by all the other fans and the cosplayers and get stress ball oranges that have gangplank's face on them saying "It's K." thrown at your head all the time. :)

The matches were super exciting and cool to watch upfront, with the teams right there and the sweating of all the nerds clogging your nostrils and the cheer of the whole floor going up together at each ward defeated. Was awesome til the last pairing. Dunno what Dignitas had for breakfast, but it was not win.... TSM just flat out facerolled them. Dunno what happened to Scarra, but meh, anyhoo, the main thing is it was fun and totally worth going to.

The Guild Wars 2 launch party was fun, cept the line that litterally circled the upper floor of th emall 4 times... and some of the panels were cool, but mostly, other than that, I was kinda disappointed in Pax. A lot of the stuff handed out was junk, the swag bag line was over 2 hour wait to get stuff to just throw away, like..... crayons. litterally. There was almost nothing worth wasting money on buying, which is something I came to do, and the lines and the layout was very poorly planned. Shrug.

The International Championships I didn't get to watch in rl, just streamed it, but was still exciting. SOOO excited TPA won it! After M5 and CLG prime didn't take anything, I was cheering for TPA. That trophy is gorgeous. Oh! and btw, just saying, but the only USA team to actually WIN a game in the championships was ..... CLG prime. Cough.  (in your face tsm fanboys) ;)

I personally also love what Riot is doing with the teams and making Major League Gaming part of the League of Legend awesomeness so well. Pax prime could learn from LoL... just saying.

I do have to also give a shoutout to Smashmuck Champs for being the best panel at Pax, and a big thanks to my brother for putting up with me tagging along. I am a true gaming fan, even dressed up like a mesmer one day of the event, haha.

As for the games, CLG vs Curse was the longest game EVER, and it was epic watching them go at it. TSM vs Dig.... cough, fail, and then the World Finals TPA stomped it. So proud :).

I made two seperate video's for them each, one right as World Cup was being played for, so the quality sucks, meh, someone described me as a tomato in the dark, HAHA. :) I was just too excited for light ;). The vid for Pax Prime is http://youtu.be/MwlMDU3i9uI and for International Final World Cup reaction http://youtu.be/ZiQMsqzp50o .
