lol I'm 11 points away from gold... and I forgot to select a winner in the CLG vs. Liquid match :negative:

top 1% in my player fantasy though!

Edit: Oh wait... you get 1 point from playing each day. So I still have a chance for double golden dorito! :woop:

When I was in Cologne I went there Sunday morning at 8am (the pin store opened at 10am) and there were already ~150 people in front of me. I ended up getting some but that was pretty much the only day where you even had a chance unless you literally skipped half a day of matches.

Valve could just sell the pins online and make a hojillion dollars but they don't need the money so it's more fun for them to troll nerds at their events.

There is no way they have enough for all the people up there, some Hyper X dude said the line is wrapping the arena now.

I think it's also an easy, artificial way for them to promote attendance at events. Just like they promote view botting with drops.

There's an mlg guy telling everyone in line to leave because they already counted and only have enough for the first 1000.

Literally wrapped around the entire arena 3-4 wide before that.

Purchases were capped at 3 per person in Cologne (which everybody got, of course) and they sold them in 4 batches of 5000 each (Saturday and Sunday, mornings and afternoons) iirc. They didn't check your ticket or anything but I doubt many people stood in line more than once. I'll definitely try to get some again this year, I love those stupid things and selling the keys paid back my tickets several times over.

We got one for free with entry, claimable Friday and Saturday. Sunday they're selling off whatever is left at three per person. Line must have filled within seconds of the doors opening, I got here 3 minutes after and it was already done.

Yea in Cologne the store was outside the actual vanue (so you could have just gone there without attending the event itself), which is why we could line up before doors opened on Sunday.

Also gently caress me, Thoooooooooorin is gonna cast the all-star match. notlikethis

Wow adreN has a fantastic showing at the tournament and Thorin just immediately dumps on him for Liquid losing when he's not even on that team. I wish Thorin would just kill himself.

I still don't understand who hears Richard Lewis or Thorin speak and then decides it's a good idea to give them money to talk.

i can hear the players but i can't disclose what they are saying sorry. We sit right behind the white noise so it doesn't affect us as much. (it wasn't like that first day we had to listen to white noise for like 12 hours)
