In the next couple of days we will be making changes to the forum and filter structures to resemble this. Accordingly we'll be making changes to the forum structure and streaming section. Again this will be a change that may not be popular with the entire community as it will also mean that the LoL forums will go into "Other Games" and the LoL streams won't be showing up anymore as default. I love you for saying this. | ||

I heart you quoting this bit. Also as someone who has used TL exclusively for Broodwar in the last 8~ years, I did not even notice DotA or Hearth were gone. If you make shared Blog things etc. that's fine and probably a nice idea. | ||

Stuff exists, but you can simply ignore it. I follow both, so the spite was purely from those who like SC2, and are glad to the scourge of dota off the main site. | ||

Hopefully this is part of the feedback you've taken seriously already and have on a list to implement. If not, now you know. | ||

I'm completly fine with having Dota migrate to a new site. But i think it would be nice if you could "customize" your events timetable and still make it show Dota streams of some events, or maybe show Dota events by default (Doenst have to be every weakly cup, but maybe the bigger events). All the tournament threads, the discussion and strategy would still be on the new Dota site, but this way you can keep track on what events are currently online without having to tab between different sites. That would be awesome! | ||

As a better example of what I mean, look at yahoo.com. On the main page, it has a variety of content from all of the other portals from its site, but if you want to look at finance, you click on the finance portal that takes you to the part of the site that is exclusively finance. So you still have to switch between the sites to get the in-depth content, but you also present a good mix of everything on the main site which makes interacting with the great community easier. | ||

I still think at least making the portals to Liquiddota and LiquidHearth larger, more obvious, and a bigger part of the site couldn't hurt and would be a nice feature for those who do come to TL for two or more of those games. Maybe even have some kind of "headlines from the other sites" on the news sidebar. Not too obtrusive, but convenient. | ||

I still think at least making the portals to Liquiddota and LiquidHearth larger, more obvious, and a bigger part of the site couldn't hurt I think this is true. I had forgotten where the link to get to liquidhearth even was, tucked away at the top of the website as it is. Perhaps the old real estate currently being used by the filters, could be used for portals? Or something of that similar size. (Assuming filters will disappear.) | ||

I originally fell in love with this site because everyone who came here was also drawn here for the same reason as myself - StarCraft. There's a lot of diversity within this community but we all had one thing in common. I felt like this began to fade when dota was introduced to this site, it may not have been that way for a lot of visitors but it certainly was the case for me When dota was introduced to this site and started invading the content space, I felt like this site had lost what made it special to me. | ||

Now I have to tab both sites and I think eventually I'll stop visiting TL altogether. Could we at least have an option to display both sites or something =( | ||

I was also skeptical about these changes, but did not comment on it until I saw how they would go about it. I personally feel that the change was needed, as the whole site started to feel awkwardly crowded with content that did not really belonged together. I watch lots of Starcraft and mostly only play Dota and only occasionally watch some of it, so mostly the dota news were kind of alienating. After this re-vamp it really feels like the TL like a couple of years ago again, and I really like it, I have to say ! There is one tweek I would like to propose. Since I still would like to follow the Dota 2 scence once in a while, it would be nice if the links on the top right which lead you to the different TL "clones" would be bigger and maybe formatted differently, like using tabs in the browser. Often you check TL, read what you wanted to read and then switch. | ||

After Dota 2 took over as my main interest as a game (both as a player and a follower), I found myself needing more and more information that wasn't provided on TL (or was just too hard to find). After all I don't want to filter away SC2 related stuff, as I still want to know what's going on in that department. Dota 2 is a game that has tons more going on than SC2 in terms of the sheer amount of games and all the different leagues being played simultaneously. In light of this, the standard TL calendar just didn't cut it, and as such I find this very welcome. I think the main concern for many of us who has browsed TL for years, but has more or less transitioned away from SC2, is that we don't want to lose our "connection" with this site. Part of me wishes you would atleast have called it teamliquiddota.net, but from a commercial standpoint I have understand why you didn't This change is a bit saddening, but definitely needed for TL to be able to compete as a community site within the dota 2 sphere. Your strongest card in that regard has been the Dota 2 liquipedia. There is nothing else like it, and I'd like to give a HUGE shoutout to all the amazing coders and updaters. I love you all dearly! | ||

EDIT: also, the filtering system is super easy to use - maybe make it more obvious when a new user enters the site? | ||
