WCReplays.com and TeamLiquid are in direct competition with each other for the same user base. Let me point you here:

Although the money is a bit less, I think overall it will be the start of an amazing tournament.

LoL there is no way WCreplays will ever be able to surpass Teamliquid. I am a former WCR member myself, and let me tell you, the stupidity and arrogance of mods as well as the members that reside there is astonishing. I was a member there during the golden years of Wc3, when it was popular in Korea, good god, the lack of quality scene reports as well the immaturity of admins made me lose a considerable sum of brain cells. Heck Wcreplays didn't itself know anything about the wc3 MBC/OGN tournaments or the korean players that played in it, they didn't have anything with power ranks, a report on wc3 player proleague performance, while foolishly thinking they know everything while refusing to admit they don't. In wcreplays, you had a mini-ogligarchy where you had to be friends with the admins and mods there to get access to vods, and of course that was sort of difficult. They had poor analysis skills of games as well as rising or falling players while having a narrow-minded view point of strategy and player performance during the 1.14 era.

Thank god I found TL.net, and other internet sites to go to. Which includes a considerable sum of mature intelligent members.

I honestly don't see the connection to TSL. TSL is in a different league entirely, this is just another online, low-cash prize (compared to TSL) tournament. As for the competition for users; they have a starcraft section to their forums? Stop the presses, this is breaking news. There are dozens of other starcraft fansites out there, and hundreds of other fansites that have starcraft sections (note: not based on any evidence at all), and none of them really compete with TL.

a bit less? how about two orders of magnitude less? this is just another random tournament, which while is of course good for the scene is nothing comparable to tsl.
