Anybody who’s visits Teamliquid with any regularity probably know of Torte de Lini at least vaguely. Why ? Because if you’ve made a post here at any point since he joined in September of 2010, Torte probably replied to it. And if he didn’t, you can trust that he either wrote up a response and deleted it or, realizing that his comment was too great, just wrote it on a Post-it and stuck it to his desk so TL didn’t implode. The guy averages 827 posts per day !
Actually that wasn’t true, but lying was the only way to make the real number of 33 posts per day sound even a little bit reasonable. But the really messed up part is that remarkably few of these posts are in Live Report threads. This means that most of those eighteen goddamn thousand posts are real posts and not just subtle variations of “SO MANY BANELINGS !” or “THAT WAS SO SICK !”
Managing to not only read every post ever no matter what but also to comment on all of them is pretty impressive (though your definition of “impressive” may vary) but he doesn’t stop there. As of February 7th of 2012, the guy is the team manager of Quantic Gaming. This means he gets to high-five Naniwa ! But as far as I know, there was no big announcement of this because Torte de Lini doesn’t yell his accomplishments off of high mountains. Instead, he sits back and does his thing while simultaneously choking bears and fending off alien invaders.
“Oh that’s kinda cool but what else does he do or has he done in the past?”
If you do ask that, you’re a bit of a douche, but I’m gonna answer it anyway. According to the wiretap I placed on Torte’s phone, “I founded and organize BarCraft Montreal, I managed VT Gaming, Team Dynamic and now Quantic. I've done over 50 articles for ESFI SC2 and a little of Dota 2 and I also do some casual commentary for Montreal's biggest LAN: LAN ETS. I've helped and founded two major local university StarCraft clubs, one which is funded annually by our student union (Concordia, UQAM's club I help do but I'm not sure how they are now).”
Yes I agree that it was a bit of a weird thing for him to say on the phone to his aunt (citation needed) but you get the idea ! That’s a ton of shit !
“Yeah thats great but I could do the same if I had no school/job and could commit all my time to ESPORTS.”
Okay, hypothetical jackass, you need to stop with the jackassery. But you’re still wrong ! (Bam. Nailed you, fake guy). Torte is a student somewhere (sorry, my stalking is still incomplete) studying sociology while doing all this other stuff.
Currently I have two possible explanations for how he does what he does.
1) He invented some sort of time control device but was too modest to tell the rest of us; or
2) He sleeps 4 hours a day and his day lasts for 35 hours
So cheers to Torte de Lini, one of the unsung heroes of ESPORTS !

+ Show Spoiler [Sources] + All my information about Torte de Lini comes from my illegal wiretap, from hiding in the bushes outside his house, and from asking him via private messages on TL. Two of those things aren’t true but I’ll never tell which.

You sick asshole. Why did you use an illegal wiretap when you could have just asked him in private messages?
|
The two lies are the wiretap and the messages.
|
He studies at Concordia University I think 
|
Next you'll tell me he's also GM on KR ladder lol
|
He uses a time-turner. He's Hermione!
Torte you sexy beast

Ahahaha. Marry me Torte
In all seriousness, Torte is an awesome guy. How he finds the time and will to do half of what he does is beyond.
To the OP:
Very well written, I like your sense of humor.

I always new it was a safe bet blindly wanting to marry Torte.

Much love for Torte even though you suck at dota, xP.

I always try to read and post in Torte's blog. He usually writes some of the more interesting stuff in the section, although you're usually guaranteed a long read. He's only posted in mine maybe once :\
18000 posts, I have no idea how he does it. Probably because he's made of pasta...all those carbs... And doesn't he go to McGill? (just assuming from Montreal)

Since thats Torte de Lini I am going to assume that you were hiding in the bushes outside the window

He didn't manage VT Gaming, he was just a staff member. Love the guy none the less.
+ Show Spoiler + I'm pretty sure he was Mirhi's errand boy
<3
If you want to add a rumors section to the OP it is RUMORED that he has a quad monitor setup with 33 instances of TL open at a time so he can read every post of every thread ever started... AT THE SAME TIME!

Thinly veiled attempt to have Torte finally post on one of your threads?
i kid i kid!

He's posted in all my threads, and all of your threads, and literally every other thread !

I wonder how long it's going to take for him to respond to this.
