NOTE: This will pretty much just be a wall of text with me talking about my experience on TL over the past 2 years! It probably won't be that interesting! You have been warned. Plus this whole thing is a complete plagiarism of Zealously's 10k post blog. I mean completely. Format, content, you name it. Such a cop out. Anyways:

So I wasn't really planning to do a blog or anything super special upon reaching 10k posts, but it seems to be sort of in vogue at the moment so why the hell not?


I've been a member of Teamliquid for a little over two years, having created this account in December of 2011. Two years doesn't seem like such a long time to a lot of people on this site, especially those who are still around after following Broodwar, but TL has become so ingrained in my daily life over these past two years it's insane. Rarely is there a day that I don't check TL multiple times. I spend most tournament days in the TL LR threads hanging out and discussing the games. It makes spectating SC2 so much more entertaining for me to be able to talk with like minded individuals during and between games, and I want to thank the members of TL and the moderators for making TL an enjoyable place to spend an afternoon while watching some Starcraft.


I didn't follow the professional Broodwar scene as much as I now wish I had. I was aware that it existed, but at the time I wasn't particularly interested in it. I wish I had been, because I heard it was a decent rts. + Show Spoiler +
I started watching SC2 by accident, as a friend tried showing me professional Halo at an MLG on stream, and I got bored of it and switched on Starcraft 2. That was MLG Dallas 2011, and that was what spawned my love for Starcraft 2 and of course for the best player on Dignitas at that tournament. SeleCT . I didn't join TL for almost a year after that and really had no idea how the hell to follow professional SC2 until I did. TL got me into the GSL, Dreamhacks, and more, and that was when I started watching 15+ hours of Starcraft a week (including player streams).


I lurked for probably the first year or so that I was on TL, but I started to find that some of the fun of TL was interacting with other people, learning about them, and building relationships and reputations on the site. Not everyone on the site likes me, but I enjoy meeting new people, even through online interaction such as on TL. I want to give a special shoutout to Shellshock for being a cool guy and also a grudging shoutout to DarkLordOlli who cheated to beat me in a "who is best HerO fan" showmatch but I respect him anyways.


So 10k posts is a decent amount. Let's face it: they weren't all winners. I'd like to share the two times I have faced some dreaded mod action based on really crappy posts.

+ Show Spoiler +
If that doesn't tell you infestors are op i don't know what does...


There's no good place for one liner balance whine, but a player's fanclub is an especially bad place.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation,
tree.hugger

This post came during late 2012 during an MLG when Leenock beat Bomber in a game using about 40 infestors in his final composition. I was still REALLY stupid at the time as opposed to my now only kind of stupid, so I thought this was ok to post in Leenock's fan club. Good thing tree.hugger is a nice guy, I would've given myself a week long ban for being stupid.

The other time wasn't quite so bad. I made a post which only had a picture in it in the L'sTLCMAT thread and was warned for a low content post. Shoutout to lichter for making that by the way, that was awesome.


Now I'm running out of ideas for what to put in this blog, so I'm going to copy Zealously and put some lists about what I like in SC2. Shoutout to Zealously because Life probably.

Top 5 favorite SC2 players
  1. aLive
  2. HerO
  3. Life
  4. Bomber
  5. Polt

Top 5 favorite SC2 Tournaments
  • MLG Raleigh 2011
  • Dreamhack Winter 2011
  • Dreamhack Winter 2012
  • IPL4
  • WCS Season 2 World Finals

My projected Final Proleague Standings (I must do better than Zealously and Fionn)
  1. SKT
  2. Jin Air
  3. KT
  4. IM
  5. CJ
  6. MVP
  7. Samsung
  8. Prime

Anyways that's about all I have to say. I'd like to say thank you to a lot of awesome people that make TL a cool place to be including the TL staff especially the writers who hang in the LR threads and the moderators who keep it civil. Thanks to Prime fans, without whom, Startale fans would be quite bored.

Here's to another 10k (higher quality) posts!

I apologize I should've given you a shoutout as well as the entire LRSL team

Also Samsung's ace will be exposed for the hoax he is.

And the 10k goes down in history as the sledgehammer that jinxed Jjjakji on his way to 100k!

Nah man, all's good. Been lurking myself for 5+ years so no need to apologize or feel less important 'cause you didn't post during the broodwar era. Apparently posting is overrated and just causes stress and world-hate anyways based on Zealously taking a break.

I'll prob see you around at your 20k and my 10k.
+ Show Spoiler +
Feel free to not call out any more 3-0's for Jj though, just to be safe.


And you have really made a big splash now also, making casters do shout-outs to you in matches as in the Scarlett vs. Incontrol on MLGON, 'cause when Catz shouted: "IT'S THE DARKHOARSE!" (He obviously meant it as a shoutout to you.)

Stay chill.

Congrats on the 10k! I think you made a typo:
That was MLG Dallas 2011, and that was what spawned my love for Starcraft 2 and of course for the best player on Dignitas at that tournament. SeleCT . I didn't join TL for almost a year after that

so you joined 2012 but you said 2011

Also, you forgot to put Jaedong at #1 for your SCII list and Samsung at #1 in your PL list. You'll be forgiven since it's your 10k post though

Actually I joined in 2011! That event was in March or something and I joined TL in December of 2011 so close to a year!

Also, no typo

Wasn't sure what exactly to write about to be honest. And sticking with aLive is about to yield serious returns this year I can feel it!
