Once Starcraft becomes a subject in the school history lessons, liquipedia will be the place to go for all information. Built up through the passionate community that built e-sport to what it became.

When Starcraft weekly is being brodcasted on ESPN, a segment regarding one of the most important factors of e-sport success will be aired, the topic of discussion is of course teamliquid.net. How did starcraft become such a global phenomenon, a mainstream sport, a culture?

They visit the house of Manifesto7, one of the few still living legends of TL.net.

The 53 seasons of Teamliquid Starlegue has made him a fortune. Money brought in through major sponsor deals with Coca Cola, Sony and Dell has put TL.net on the global map as the mecca of all that is e-sport.

84 year old Manifesto says the reason for the sites success is through immense dedication from the staff and the sites passionate members who contribute on a daily basis. "The amount of knowledge and passion seeping through this site is overwhelming to say the least."

The 54th season is about to reach its climax, with the grand finals being held in Munich, Germany at the Liquid Arena. The total capacity of 65 000 spectators are already filled as the tickets sold dry 5 hours after releasing them to the public.

The security arrangements are the highest in years as there has been reports of MBC and SK-gaming hooligans planning a fight in the vicinity of the arena. The police advice the casual spectator to find his way to the Arena as quickly as possible to avoid any confrontation.

Who will take home the golden trophy and become the 54th season champion of Teamliquid Starleague? Tune in this sunday at 9pm CET/3 pm EST to find out!

the game maybe still followed by some dedicated esoteric groups (who would most likely be better than everyone before them, via new trick/strats and bugs) but I really doubt it will continue to increase in popularity like that.

Just look at other competitive gamers from the 80s and shit. Hell even chess isn't like that.

New Hongkong Times, September 6th, 2052

Starcraft's popularity has decreased in recent years. Starcraft 4 is widely regarded as the best part of the franchise and the number of official IeSPA (International eSports Association) sanctioned progamers dropped below 3 million under Starcraft 5 and 6, primarily due to Battle.net 8.3's hacking, identity theft and credit card problems. EUrope's unexpected loss to underdog United Republic of Korea at the last Olympics finals may also have played a part in Starcraft's recent decline in popularity.

Nevertheless, Starcraft 7's release is eagerly awaited. Publisher Blizzard/Google has announced the long requested adoption of brainwave controls, which finally eliminates physical handspeed limitations and enables handicapped people to play competitively in national and international leagues. Also, rumor has it that Starcraft 7 will sport a revolutionary 2D graphics engine, and will be released "soon". Lead designer James Browder, Jr. was not available for an interview.

The future is already here, 48 and a half years earlier than predicted! Humanity is already starting to reproduce by artosis!

(I know, it's a bump. There'll be another bump due in a few months too. Also, congratulations, Artosis)
