It's not a silly question at all. The hall of fame used to be very easily accessable on the front page (right around where hot topics of the week is now). However now you have to go to http://www.esreality.com/?a=hof to see it.
There hasn't exactly been a lot of HOF entries lately, as the previous one is from february 2007, two and a half years ago.
Not that attending live events isn't cool, but after you attend one live event from Pro League, OSL, and MSL, you don't really need to attend anymore as its the same stuff everytime.
Finals for PL/OSL/MSL is a different story, those are always amazing, especially Pro League.
I watch all Starcraft events from home or at my work office. You can turn on the TV to watch it or go to a few different Korean sites that have the HD version with no lag, something that I take for granted when I travel outside of Korea to lan events or vacation and try to watch Pro League.
There's a ton of random people who attend pro matches, but I'm really surprised someone held up an ESR sign. Since I don't really know anyone from ESR aside from Nicky and the old staff from GGL like Wheat, DonKing, etc. I wouldn't know who it could be.
