Title: Moon defeated
Photographer: Laurent Prost
Date: 11/09/2008
Camera: Canon EOS 40D
Website: eSportsfrance.com
Description: This picture was shot on November 9th, 2008, in Cologne, during the press conference right after the Warcraft 3 grand final of the WCG. I think this is a very emotional picture, even more so when you are used to seeing Moon remaining imperturbable in all situations. In my opinion, the Dutch flag laid in front of him makes the picture even stronger than if Grubby was directly on it. |

Title: Come on guys!
Photographer: Laurent Prost
Date: 05/23/2008
Camera: Canon EOS 40D
Website: eSportsfrance.com
Description: This picture was shot on May 23rd, 2009, in Paris, at the French Qualifier for DreamHack Summer 2009. The subject of the picture is a Belgian CS:S player, Kévin "Ex6TenZ" Droolans, playing for redLine. redLine was engaged in a very tough semi-final versus Essential, and every round scored was accompanied by loud cries of the winning team. I just love the way Ex6TenZ's cry emerges out of the blurred mass, showing all his determination. redLine eventually won the game 16-7, after a tense first half (8-7) and before losing to VeryGames in the grand final after two overtimes.
