teamliquid.net/dota routes to a 404
teamliquid.net/dota2 just points to the TL homepage.

I think linking those to the dota site would help a lot.

I definitely think it was a great idea to split the front page of the site. The information that you can display based on it is really something.

But I don't like how each of the portals forces a split among the community. I think Blogs, "Other Games", and Community should be shared among all of the liquid sites. I think there's only things to be lost by not doing so (esp when you see "dead" or very inactive forums, which will likely be the case for those sections).

I know there's a lot to be gained by splitting up the front pages -- but can't the community be kept intact?

Definitely! I tried to address these points in my post already, but we're going to try and make it happen. Only thing I'm not sure about is Blogs but it is worth considering.


I am actually OK, in fact I would say very pleased, with having dedicated sites so long as the communities have easy paths to staying in touch with one another (which you are already addressing). The calendar issue is the biggest for me, I almost want to give up on trying to keep track entirely, and instead just watching only what is on instead of planning for upcoming vents when I think about having to click through three different websites to check their calendars and get upcoming tournament news.

Thanks for staying committed to change and keeping an open mind!

Eh? The LiquidDota announcement is not listed in the latest news on either TL or LD any more. That aside, the purpose of this is not only to accommodate what we have now, but to give space for each site to grow without stepping on each other's toes.

Here is how to have separate sites AND keeping the community together:

teamliquid.net
Displays Starcraft specific content on the home page.

liquiddota.com
Displays Dota specific content on the home page.

Forum
When you go to the forum from either of those sites, Starcraft AND Dota content is shown.

There are many smart ways of dividing up the information.
Just take a look at sites like reddit or quora.
They deal perfectly with the problem of having many different communities.
And there are lots of advantages for having separate communities unified into one.
I think that e-sports should stay one community at the least!

So the idea is basically to have one stream of content instead of subsections inside the forum. And the content can be filtered based on one's preferences. You can choose the topics that interest and those that dont.

For example, my interests are SC2, chess and Game of Thrones, so these topics should get priority in the content stream. I'm not interested in "Anime" at all, so I should be able to mute it.

The traditional forum architecture is all nice, but it's based on a 20 year old concept and not really the current industry standard anymore.




tl;dr: You can deal with the problem of having too much content by having content streams and personalized topics.

The OP made it sound as if SC related content would now be "more" visible or at least more often newsed. Right now there are several BW topics which are imo news worthy (community news at least):

bw.de oldschool tour (already long over)
Gem League III
3v3 BGH Event
The Afreeca League

It seems a little odd what's news now and what's not and what was news not too long ago; for instance every other pro switching to Afreeca got one, even if he only appeared on streams outside of leagues rarely. The LoveTV show match thing is newsed, the aforementioned three tournaments are not. By the same "every-pro-who-streams-gets-a-thread-and-is-newsed" logic, you could also add small news about Iris covering eSports, the Jaehoon incident and whatnot.

Is this a problem of staff missing, or is this related to the site changes? It for sure is weird.
