I mean, there were other gaffers at TI, so maybe one of them was in the booth.
There's no NDA or anything, and I don't think any of these are embarrassing per se
Blitz got, uh, blitzed. It was amazing. Resolution isn't just a carry in the game, he's a carry in RL (he was carrying Blitz around, Reso's pretty strong lol) apparently. Near the end Blitz started going nuts on the dance floor, I wish I had taken pictures. (I almost posted on that Reddit post "how's that hangover"). Resolution is also super shy - my friend (very cute dota 2 player) is a big fan of Reso (which led to her and I being on opposite sides during EG / Empire) and asked him for a picture. He saw her and turned super duper red and shy, it was hysterical. (He was also in a pretty awesome suit too)
Most of the players are super duper nice. Dendi and his girlfriend are unbelievably patient, Dendi doesn't refuse pictures or signatures and talks to people as well, and his g/f takes it all in complete stride. Ended up talking to Sheever, Akke, and ODPixel for 20-30 minutes - Sheever and I were talking about chemo and treatment and how to cope with stuff (I'm also a cancer survivor). I think I was able to give her some advice, which was fun, and I think she liked having someone she could talk about broviac lines and the metallic taste and such with. I tried to get a picture with RTZ / Sumail / Zai (I didn't see Universe at all, and Crit was hanging out not by EG), but Sumail wanted them to go outside (RTZ was all for it). It seemed like RTZ and Sumail were always hanging out, and I think not doing well weighed on them. RTZ later on saw me and signed my jersey, which was very nice of him. Kuroky haaaates pictures (drunk Blitz ran up to him and tried to take selfies, with Kuroky trying to hide himself from the phone, lol), but is preternaturally calm and signed my jersey. Gh saw that I had Akke's signature and informed me that it was my duty to get all of TL's signatures - he's very gregarious and fun to be around. I ended up getting Mind_Control, Gh, and Kuroky's signature.
EE gave me a hug for getting him some keyboards at the last second for TI, and the chinese casters are kind. Kept literally running into one of the female chinese casters, and her and I ended up laughing about it. As best as I can tell her and I had the same plan on people to talk to, hah. SirActionSlacks has an inhuman amount of energy. Kaci was thrilled to find out that my friend is the Dota player between the two of us, which led to a pretty funny conversation (Kaci ended up leaving a little early due to, well, baby). Day9 had a giant line of people who wanted to meet him, and he spent like several minutes talking to each person, doing recordings of voice mails and happy birthday videos, and just generally a boss.
If I think of more I'll add 'em.
