Day 1.
Really Day 1 when I came in during the mineski vs complexity match, I could feel the hype around me. Everyone was cheering with every kill. Every kill, there is a chill on my hands. The atmosphere, the fans, the hype.. WOW. No words can describe it. Comparing this to major all stars, were like comparing night and day.
As the players walked into the stage, you could see the fans were really into it. The players felt like superstars walking on to the red carpet. Except that I wish I was apart of that, as I only manage to get in to the upper box T_T.

In the picture is what I could take off as my hands were shaking from the atmosphere xD

Just look at this, this just speaks what I'm trying to say.
As the night settled in as it was about 7pm which I have to leave the stadium (Unfortunately, I have a huge hard time having to find taxi the day before, which I travelled around mainla but I have fear of not getting taxi's in the stadium so I decided to go back early)
Well, the most spectacular thing just happened.
I met Eric Khor (Manager of Fnatic) outside the VIP room as I was trying to buy the ESL Manila tshirt.

What a dream to meet my favorite team. And yes, fnatic is still the team I support guys, not secret xD.
We talked apparently for about 10 minutes, and he asked me if there's anything he could do.
I asked him could I see midone, and he said yes. So off he go, to get midone :D

Also there weren't many pictures of the stage itself, because upper box pictures are really blur X_X. More of me, and my experiences in ESL One manila.
Day 2
So here comes day 2, well I skipped the first match of the tournament because I was on a date with my friend in the Phillipines (she's Pinay XD)
Well, Since we could perhaps meet in the next 5 years or so, I decided to go out with her, but more on that later if you are interested LOL.
So alright, I went in the stadium at approximately 3pm that day. Liquid vs Empire. Well nothing much to say here, but again the atmostphere was just so good. Also the pictures are mainly with me with some cosplay here.So I don't think it's good. But here where i was walking around. Complexity manager was here dancing, so I ended up taking a picture with him.

Wow, what experience has this been.
Wings vs Liquid. Wings doing the impossible, swooping down the skies with their wings flapping out proudly as they devour the liquid that was on the land , 3-0 .
The fans were ecstatic, and I was too.
And I'm pretty sure you guys would heard this by now, but as I exit the stadium, this happened.
+ Show Spoiler +
The sending off for both players and broadcasters :D
Also I was in the same flight as Fnatic players. God damn it. I love Manila. I love ESL. I love everything there is last week.
Personal shoutout goes to : MidOne, Eric Khor, My Philippine date, ESL, A stranger I met in ESL (thank you for welcoming me to the Phillippines )
