[Event] - Garena League of Legends Circuit 2013 Grand Finals

Welcome to Summoners Rift mid or feed

In association with Comic Fiesta 2013, Garena decided to host their Legends Circuit 2013 on KL Convention Centre together with Comic Fiesta 2013. It all makes sense as e-sports are closely related to ACG such as cosplay activity.

As a former e-sports competitive player myself, e-sports has been growing steadily in Malaysia, especially League of Legends and its counter part Dota 2 by Valve. With the recently success by Orange e-sports claiming 3rd in The International 3, e-sports has been a quite a huge thing in Malaysia now. Even our Youth Minister are promoting e-sports.

As business point of view, it is a very strategic move. Not only can guaranteed a certain amount of visitors watching the tournament live by pre-selling ticket, also promoting e-sports and League of Legends. At least 40k visitors at least pass by and know what's going on. As a fans point of view, they are giving it free live performance back to the fans which ain't bad.

[Event] - Comic Fiesta 2013 Day 2

NO MORE LIAO! as today is the last day for CF 2013

Beautiful morning in Comic Fiesta Day 2.

Morning KLCC is gorgeous

Day 2 que system is much better as you can see.

No Long que, it was smooth as butter

As they improved with their system, the que is just fast and simple. As compared to the Day 1, the process of buying ticket is much faster and efficient.

Fast lane, buy fast

As usual, the morning peeps is early. Even the event starts around 10-ish, the 1st waiting zone is already packed with people.

9am que

[Event] - Comic Fiesta 2013 Day 1

YOU SHALL NOT PASS through the crowd even with early bird pass to the event after opening due to bad que-ing setup to the awesome Comic Fiesta 2013.

Is here, the long awaited Comic Fiesta(CF) 2013 on 21/22 December 2013. One of the largest ACG(Anime Comic Game) event in Malaysia. If you still don't know what Cosplay is, despite the wrecking news few weeks ago with the teenager boy rape-fail-killed cosplayer incident ; Cosplay is known as Costume play, an activity where participants dress up to represent a character they adore. It is a sub-pop culture in Japan inception in Akihabara.

As an ACG lover, we can't resist ourself to attend this event. We even got ourself a 'Official Blogger' pass to ease our coverage. Benefit with such pass is we get to access everywhere. As always, we do have responsibility to not abuse the pass. Respect and self behave always come first.

Enough lecturing, lets get started with the event!

Arrive at 8am in the morning

Well we arriving as early as 8am, talking about early bird.
Let me rephrase that.

8am and it is crowded!

Well we arriving as late as 8am, talking about lazy bump. Cosplayers, photopraghers, bloggers, volunteers, crew, even visitors arrive early, que-ing to get the best seat, beat the deals, buy-it-before-gone~

As past experience with many ACG event, Comic Fiesta is out of the league. We truly can define that CF is one of the largest ACG event in Malaysia, every single year the crowd is just amazing. Speaking last year experience of mine, I can't even enter the event hall due to the huge crowd que-ing for ticket.

I strongly recommend to future visitors for such event, please just buy the Early Bird Ticket, totally worth it. If you can't attend event after purchasing the ticket, you can just sell it to others, many people that live outside the City are drooling for the Early Bird Ticket. So reselling is not a problem.

First Aid prepared for emergency, thoughtful 

Online Purchase via MRuncit as CF Official Ticketing partner, also part of the early bird perk

Day 8 Taiwan - Tea

Relax

Almost the end of our trip, we have our last day as a more relaxing day trip to any where we want. After some serious voting and discussion for 30 sec, we choose MaoKong for some tea tasting and the infamous Shilin Night Market to beat our curiosity.

Let's go!

Crowded as usual in the early morning at Taipei Train Station.
