Welp. Time to go through and read pretty much every TLFE.

Also, I really liked Finale in Five (probably my favorite) and God of the Battlefield (probably 2nd)

EDIT: Can someone direct me to the FE homepage? I can't seem to find the list TT_TT

It's under features, at the top of the page.
You could say those were burried, such a shame...

H.O.T-Forever Final edit
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=78884

I admit i didnt read every Final Edit, but i always loved stories of precursors and people who paved the way. Unsung heroes you may say. Good narration, interesting read.

Shameless self link, but the interview portion with Day[9] was incredibly informative. Even after doing the interview, and transcribing it all, I read it and still learned about stuff. And not exclusively SC2 stuff, but real life stuff. Sean really knows how to give a speech.

That was awesome. He's really good at stand-up comedy too!

I'll support you on #2. I really think that that one is the best piece of writing on TL.

The piano man (the H.O.T.Forever piece) is also fantastic. Not as analytically of fact heavy as the other TLFEs, but so emotional.

This is a pretty nice collection. I'm gonna GUESS Ver's oov writings will be in the next part.

I think riptide, ver, honesttea, and sometimes plexa are the best writers we've had.

Regarding savior and match fixing:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=14893&currentpage=All

That's a thread of a young and obnoxious me making a thread about a game that was very suspicious and wanting to discuss it. A ton of high-profile TLers, future banlings, TKWL, Jinro [ FrozenArbiter back then ] claiming that game rigging is not possible or warranted or that crazy conspiracy theorists are just having dumb ideas. Notice the post date, its years before match fixing by savior was discovered.

Day[9], Klogon, fakesteve were some of the very few to entertain the idea that it could be possible yet gave logical reasons why they thought it wasn't. It isn't a coincidence that I really like these TLers.

If you want tons and tons of material to waste your time through, take a dive into Our Ol' TL Hall of Fame, obvious simply because of the sheer volume of stuff linked.

Beyond using web backups to go back in time, it's the only remaining record of Fanatacist's blog series, but its mainly TL 'memes' and whatnot. Ironically, I always aspired to be 'in' on the cool kids clique in TL, the ones who made the funny posts and had the inside jokes and drama. The ones who really lived it. I always aspired to be like that, but didn't take enough action to make that a reality. LOL, and now my interest in the community is fading as it's getting diluted 20-fold, and BW bye bye :/

There was a great thread that predicted the SC2 launch (Beta i think) based on insider information. I recall the whole community was so hyped the thread generated huge amounts of pages and F5s. In the end, the kid was banned because he wasn't right, but that was a great moment. Can't find it though.

Good list, made me a little nostalgic because I remember reading most of those 'live' or even posting in them at the time.

Makes me feel old to realize that this list is probably but a mere fraction of the amazing/wonderful reads and experiences I've had with TL over the past 8 years.
