Four of the five albums have come courtesy of freelance photographer Kerry "NeverGG" Collins, who SK Gaming hired for the event, and who is well-known for her work with eStro and Starcraft community website Team Liquid. Over the five days we amassed over 130 photos from the tournament, with a smattering of Korean "showgirls" for good measure.


Early shots from the event as a whole including the other Korean titles at the event which despite being aimed at young children, seem to have female characters all "well-developed" for their age.

Also include some shots of the Starcraft2 merchandise on display, as well as the boothbabe for the Blizzard stall, Jae Ho 'Moon' Jang, June 'Lyn' Park, Cassandra and SK.CS as well. Ji Soo 'ToSsGirL' Seo also makes an appearance, proving she knows how to pose, but had an early exit in the tournament being eliminated in the first round.

Saturday saw the commencement of the King of the Game competition, with the stakes growing exponentially.

mTw were one game away from an early exit but a win over WeMadeFox coupled with victory for fnatic against Chinese team Tyloo saw them through.

Intense concentration for SK.CS as they try to fend off WeMadeFox in their fourth match against them in three days.

The quantity and quality of female showgirls also saw a significant increase given it was the last day of the competition, and that many Koreans would be flocking to see the overall finals [primarily the Starcraft one].

Many a team talk was held outside the event, to discuss their performance and strategies for their next match.

Heads start to roll as teams and players see their hopes of claiming the title in the eStars King of the Game, vanish before their eyes. No player more disheartened than Jae Ho 'Moon' Jang who expressed adamantly that he really wanted to win champion this event after a long drought in competitions.

Elsewhere we captured the winning moments of fnatic as they defeated WeMadeFox in the Grand Final to secure their third consecutive eStars title.
