Reddit user Xcellion has posted a series of early pictures all the way from Seattle as he bumps into team members, some awesome Valve goodies (at the Valve HQ) and the setup for the venue later this week.

The calm before the storm, they call it. Not all of us gets to go to Seattle and witness arguably the biggest Esports event of the year. But Reddit user Xcellion was kind enough to give a few early snapshots of the venue (as well as Valve HQ) to make us feel like we're there as well. Here's just a few choice pictures from the bunch.
