Hey guys,
I hope TL is okay with using this blog as a means to organize the ATC LR-Threads.
What is required for an ATC LR-Thread?
First: Thanks for your interest in doing them, your help is very appreciated! You don't have to be super completionist or super quick-to-update ATC like in the WCS LR-Threads. ATC is a relaxed tournament, so don't worry if you make your first LR-Thread.
How to make an ATC opening post?
There are three ways:
+ Show Spoiler [Take lichter's premade OPs] +Thankfully, lichter has provided premade original posts (OPs) that can be copied over to make your own thread. The OPs can be found here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=339146Search for the OP in the last pages of the thread. You just need to quote the post linked under "upcoming clanwars", copy* the contents and post it under the Starcraft 2 Tournament forum. * Not directly copy & paste. You need to chance this while copying: 1) Remove the quote-tag from the beginning and the end 2) Use the big bold red text as the thread title instead of copying it over 3) Add or remove streams as applicable
+ Show Spoiler [Use the ATC LR-Tool] +
+ Show Spoiler [Make your own custom OP] +What should be thereBasically, you can just use the format that I use. For this, just look for one of my threads ( example), quote the OP and copy the code over to your thread. You should update the results after each game. The results should be put in spoilers. The title should be: [ATC] <Team A> vs <Team B>, Week <w>, Season 2 <Team A> = Short name of the left team (short = mouz instead of mousesports, Acer instead of Team Acer, etc.) <Team B> = Short name of the right team <w> = Playday or Week Team logoshttp://imgur.com/a/c4Fl1There are two big logos for the teams: One for when they appear on the left side and one for when they appear are on the right side. That is required on the TL board to get the spacing right. What does not need to be thereRecommended Games Polls. The turnout is very low during normal games. If you have the feeling that a lot of people are in the thread, you can do them.
The Second Post in Your Thread You should make a reply instantaneously after creating your thread. Then, edit in two polls "Head: Who do you think will win?" and "Heart: Who do you want to win?" with both teams as an option.
Upcoming clanwars:
- 2013-10-08 15:00 CEST, Invictus vs Liquid, Week 5
- 2013-10-09 16:00 CEST, Empire vs Axiom, Week 5
If you want to do a LR-Thread of any of the upcoming clanwars, just reply here.

I can do tomorrow Quantic vs. Millenium.
Edit: I finished the OP for that btw
|
Do I need to update the score immediately? I tend to be at work, so I cannot even follow the stream (the whole time), let alone update the op as soon as a game finishes. But making an LR thread and updating it at the very end is just <2 min of work (though I will try to update the score in between if possible).
|
I think it's expected (by TL admins and some of the users) in TL LR-Threads to update the score during the matches.

If I have time during afternoon/night I will do it everytime.
|
If there will be an Clanwar starting at 19:00 CET or later, i would be able to post and update the Thread. If lichter premades them, it would be even better.^^ but at 15:00, at work, i cant even post here, so yeah..
btw, a big round of applause for what u have done in the first season, SinCitta!

Maybe I should make a blog like this for WCS AM >.>

Okay, guess we have gathered (awesome and good looking) people already, but of course more are still welcome! 
Tidus Mino has informed me that there will be Western Wolves vs Complexity going on tomorrow 17:00 CEST. Anybody interested doing an LR for this? Will publish the logos for the new teams soon-ish.
NovaMB, will you do the OP yourself or do you prefer a premade one? In case of the former, you can post it already. Or you could also do a combined thread if you want to do WW vs coL as well. Not sure if the people prefer a combined thread or split ones, but I guess either way is fine.
Btw, it would be a good idea if you subscribed to this thread.

Well I made the Mill vs. Quantic one myself, I already put together a small "knowledge base" for myself with team logos (from liquipedia) and got the TLPD map links. Having a premade OP would certainly help I feel.
I'll add coL vs. WW to the Mill vs. Quantic OP and make a combined thread. (I'd do that tomorrow morning, I'm not on my work PC anymore)
If you guys want I'll make a seperate Western Wolves vs. Complexity OP, I think it'll be easier to update and easier to spot/maintain

I like to premake OPs a week in advance because I'm not sure if I'll suddenly be busy with work or need to go on a business trip.
Also I get annoyed when the OPs are arranged by date >.>
I could still do it though I guess

Matchdate can be edited in easily. But we don't know the mappool (or rather order of the maps) in advance.

Yeah, they updated the site: http://acer.taketv.net/news/standings-13-03-13-17943 We have all weeks! So premaking OPs should be no problem now.
But I think we should not make the hype text (below the clan logos) more than one week before the match.
Oh and the timing of the LR thread should be about 24-20 hours before the match, so a) people are reminded of it and b) Americans can vote in the Head/Heart polls, too. What do you guys think?

Added coL and Empire to the album. Had to change the script a little for coL (because of the width of the logo) and wasn't sure whether to do a combined Empire-Ence logo or not. But on the official site there is no mention of Ence so I let it be.
Dates of two clanwars have been scheduled. Anyone interested in them?
About the premade OPs: The OP poster will probably need to change the streams the time the clanwar starts. MilleniumTV generally does not cover any matches except their own. The non-German casts always change or don't turn up.
Do we only post the first map in the unspoilered section (directly below the team logos)? The map order is fixed before the clanwar starts.

What are the dates? So I can fix the date in the OP. It will help if you can PM it to me whenever dates are announced since I will be too busy making other OPs and writing articles (and, you know, actually working lol) to remember to check all the time.
Do you have a list of all the possible streams? I can add them all to the premade OPs so that the person who makes the thread can just delete the ones that aren't active.
I suppose I can add it to the unspoilered part. No difference really. What do you prefer?

I think you forgot KingCobra for the russian stream.

I'll be away September 23-28 (so basically all of next week). I'll premake the OPs but I likely won't be able to change the proper dates/starting players/etc

If there is a polish stream on gamescreds I can do it. I can't watch twitch stream since one week.

next scheduled match is mouz vs millenium, week 3, September 29
3 matches of the 2nd week aren't played yet, I wonder if I should move them to the "wildcard week" at the end of the group stage I guess i'll move them and I'll see if they are really played at the end or just when they have time during the season
edit: they added quantic acer (sept 23, week 2) and ww empire (sept 26, week 3)
|
I think I will do make Quantic - Acer and/or WW - Empire.
|
1001 YEARS KESPAJAIL22272 Posts
Should I make a post or edit my earlier post to contain all the unplayed OPs I've already premade?
|
|
France7248 Posts
ww vs ig and acer vs quantic at the same time tomorrow it seems
|
Wtf. Maybe it's a copy&paste error. Let's wait until tomorrow before making a thread.
|
|
France7248 Posts

|
Where did you get 16h? Official page says 15h, WW manager said 14h.

I have edited my first post in the thread on Page 1 to contain all the unmade LR Threads, so that they will be easier to find, especially matches that get postponed.
|
I can do Quantic vs. coL aswell on the 29th
|
France7248 Posts
you can remove OGamingTV for all OP, Kaoru answered me they won't cast it at all this season
|
Aeromi, you are going to do WW vs Empire today?
|
|

Liquid finally scheduled 2 matches Liquid vs Millenium (week 2) is scheduled during week 4 instead of "wildcard week" where do you want to see it on liquipedia? in week 2, week 4 or I keep it at the end?
|
I re-read the rules, you don't have to schedule wildcard matches to wildcard week. I think putting them to Week 2 would be the best except games that are truly played during wildcard week?
|
I will do Acer vs Team Liquid if I can, I will tell you wednesday if I can.
Anyone for Team Liquid vs Millenium ?
Date : October 04, 2013 - 15:00 CEST
|
Axiom vs WW has been rescheduled to Oct. 3, 18:30 CEST

wtf is wrong with them... now they removed Millenium vs Empire too and added Liquid vs Complexity... so annoying
|
If there is no problem I'll do mousesports vs Acer.
|
I have a program that can do the updates by itself by now, but if you have fun making and updating the OP you can do it.

Yes! No, not required anymore. Thanks for having done them so far.

Alrighty.
In case a certain day or week needs an OP premade, just PM me
