Crowd-pleasers
Aussies are known for their vibrant and passionate manner, especially when it comes to esports. Tweets from people all over the world poured in, commenting on the exciting Aussie spirit on display. If anyone was watching, or sitting in the crowd, you’ll know what we’re talking about. It’s electric! Viewers held up signs showing their love for their favorite players, blow up balls were thrown around the arena, and flashy lights kept everyone in sync. And that’s not the only love that flew around the arena. While Liquid, Fnatic, MIBR, and NRG battled it out on stage, love shone through the crowd.
You may think there are more “romantic” places to propose, but not these attendees. A couple of CS:GO fans decided to take the next step in their relationship while at IEM Sydney. “Harry” proposed to his girlfriend during all the day 2 hype. Congrats to the happy couple, and we’re sure there are lots more exciting stuff happening for the final day of IEM Sydney.
The most amazing thing just happened. Thank you to my new fiancé @Harryhaz1CSGO but also to all of the amazing people involved in the most incredible moment of my life. #iemsydney #justengaged pic.twitter.com/rJ5UE0gxMk
