For me, BlizzCon is generally a scramble to get editorial work done as quickly as possible. Tempo Storm’s attendance at BlizzCon depends heavily on the quantity and quality of BlizzCon coverage from the previous year(s), so having sufficient good content up in a timely manner is important, not just for now, but for future convention years.

So, I usually end up spending a majority of my time attending offline panels, sitting in the media room uploading, then recharging in my hotel room. As a result, I didn’t really have many photos taken.

I do have one from when Tempo Storm’s Heroes of the Storm team was playing against Fnatic in the third game of a best-of-three series. Tempo Storm HotS had taken a game off Fnatic, but were in the process of getting reverse swept. I tweeted the photo out with the caption “pls no lose,” but my hopes didn’t come true, because this was the game after which Tempo Storm got eliminated.

However, I’m happy to announce that the convention grind is finally over. I almost had to extend my grind by accompanying our PLAYER­UNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS team to a boot camp in Santa Monica, CA, then to Intel Extreme Masters in Oakland, but luckily, our house manager was able to cover for me for that, so I finally get to relax.

Now it’s finally time to unwind for a bit, recover from over a month of field work (which I am very not used to, seeing as I usually just work peacefully from my desk), and catch up on everything I’ve missed over the past month.
