Arriving in the evening at 6 plus in Hannover, we went to our "hotel" immediately. We saw fnatic CS player "ins" at the airport without his red cap! What happened to trademark! :D

Many thousands of people from all over the world come to ceBit at Hannover, Germany every year. Usually all the hotels could be full as early as 6 months in advance. Many residents of Hannover rent their rooms out during this period of time. ESL arranged the players to stay with different families in different houses near to the venue.

We got a room in a small apartment. What we like about the place is that there's a Chinese-Thai Restaurant 100m away! Yummy.. we'll get to eat asian dinner every night! We already tried it last night and the food was great.. served hot and remains hot with candle wax below the plates. What we do not like about the apartment is that the owner smokes, so we smell cigarette smoke all over the house. Our nose is quite sensitive and allergic to smoke, so that's not very healthy for us. The breakfast is also very limited - only hard white bread with cheese and ham. No eggs at all.

Same time last year during ceBit, we got to stay with a lovely old German lady with a cute big dog in a big house! We miss her!! Boohoohooo...

This morning shuttle service arranged by ESL picked us up around 9.15am thus we reach the tournament venue pretty early, which is nice. The tournament venue for Extreme Masters for today and tomorrow is not at the ceBit. It's in a beautiful building, very peaceful and clean environment.

Here's some pictures of the tournament atmosphere and the Warcraft III players getting ready to play - Pictures taken before 12 noon.

mouz.Happy and SK.Lyn doing some warming up.

mouz.HasuObs - In my opinion he did very well for his team at last NGL finals.. though I did fall asleep when I was watching his game against Soju. It was a 1 hour game and Grubby thought it was so exciting!
