You'll sometimes see these random boxes in all the various photos to come over the next few days.

These boxes are special and unique to each team for many reasons


They contain team specific equipment and tools during their stay at the hotel


Each box contains at least 5 SSDs, each with specific settings for players to feel right at home
Only a corporation like Valve would ever consider this for e-athletes.


They're packed with other equipment goodies...


With new casings for every player


All shipped out to the hotels for every player and meeting rooms


Teams to get their own cellphones for valve to keep in contact too


Meanwhile, Chuan thinks you are delish

Wow... The players are really treated like kings.... Its like e-sports World cup or olympic equivalent... Dang how i wish i was one of the players

Zenith just posted their 2nd day of TI3 coverage.

A quote from the team, on the special equipment boxes in my last post;


They also got the Kunkka Room, very very significant for the singaporean team. More details and photos in link.

Meanwhile, I'll leave you with 3 interview videos by HotBid from TeamLiquid, and the other 2 from Zenith.
I highly recommend watching the last video, a better look at the hotel and rooms.
Lemme know if you prefer videos too, and I'll link them here, from different teams.

keep it coming guys

Though i think it could be better to split a thread?

Cause when the game started if everyone continue discussion here, those pics and vids will be gone.

Anyway, really impress by Valve. They look so prepared for everything.

KL Pub Stomp starting at 12am at BRJ (so early)??

I thought the first match is starting at 4am?

This thread is dedicated to TI3 pics/fluff and nonsense related info, like behind the scenes, twitter fan pics and what not.

Other serious TI3 discussions is still done at our main thread, DOTA 2 v12
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2879543

*this thread was made cuz I'm spamming alot at main thread, so need a place for me to dump everything without obscuring normal forum talk.

It is, but meetup time is around there I suppose.
I think you are free to come anytime after 12am, but not sure what happens then.
For more details, ask the others who are going at our main thread

Thank you so much for your Info!

Keep those pix and vids posting!

Some videos from Team Fnatic on their arrival, impressions and photoshoots
Please dont ask me why about the jacuzzi either.







Fnatic has a very friendly-weird relationship with fans and teammates alike.
And maybe too friendly sometimes...


More crazy stuff from a Fnatic fan's tumblr
I promise you the pics are hilarious.
