They won't announce it until they're ready. It will come along as soon as you know it.

I remember the announcement being exactly on New Years since people were confusing the timer for the announcement with the new year countdown. As much as I'd like it to be a once a year thing, the fact that it's already more than two weeks past that seems to indicate otherwise. Given the big showings by MLG, NASL, IPL, and dreamhack in their tournaments, and the general adherence to the belief in a LAN tournament's superiority to online ones [especially across multiple different servers/with the lag issue], I wouldn't be surprised if TL is taking a little bit more time in concocting an epic TSL4 to top all of the past LANs with their own great creation that may mostly be LAN.

Honestly thats what I am worried about. That they aren't doing TSL4 or if they do it will be a LAN tournament. I really hope they do end up doing another one that sonline like tsl3 but I'm not to optimistic about it tbh :/.

What makes TSL so good is because of the shock it creates when it's announced. You always think shit can't get more epic, but you're wrong when reading the announcement. Just forget about it, and one you'll browse TL while drinking your coffee and spit your coffee all over the screen when seeing how sick TSL4 looks in the announcement. And when you know about the amazing production value of each TSL4, you know the tournament will be as epic as it looks in the announcement, unlike some over-hyped shit.

TSL1 : Omg best foreign BW tournament ever, from a tournament structure and amount of gosu players perspective.
TSL2 : Holy shit 23k prizepool ? :O Incredible ladder qualifications with some old school players coming back just for the epicness of the tournament
TSL3 : Is my good ol' TL inviting mother fucking BoxeR ? Even though watching SC2 sucks, I was literally crying of happiness for all TL admins and people working on organizing TSL3. Seriously, who would have thought a few years ago that TL would organize a tournament and invite the Emperor to play in it.
TSL4 : ????

Just be patient

Why would you want it to be online? For traditions sake? TSL4 would HAVE to have Koreans, but playing with Koreans online just doesn't work for a tournament that wants to claim great success, the inevitable swarm of "lag" screams will drown the tournament on the spot.

When I ran into Nazgul at IPL3 this was something I just had to ask about. At least back then he said they were definitely working on it, but there was tons of work that needed to be done behind the scenes

I wouldn't expect any word whatsoever about it until they're ready to make the (undoubtedly incredibly epic) announcement
