I realised about 5 minutes before my panel that the jeans I was wearing had a hole in the crotch, you'll notice my legs never spread too far apart :)

[PROTIP] Check your trousers before you travel.

Haha i thought you just enjoyed sitting like a gent.

The likes of Won Suk Oh on the first panel really did enjoy the feel of a fresh breeze around the shins, those trousers were delightful.

Well thanks I was already waiting for the VODs to pop up since I didn't watch the stream from the start.

yeah honestly really worth watching it all the first panel i enjoyed just due to the fact of Alex and David Ting had a fairly differing opinion on the main point. Great bit of back n forth .
