Great Story!


Anyway I have been a long time BW player on Ender. Also weh have been playing loads of 3v3's 4v4's on hunters Via lan at high school, as well as in a Dungeon like i-net cafe.

One day there was a competition in Starcraft being held, I came there and with my style, goon zeal against anything, I came fourth. And when there was a high school Cyber Games in 2004 I got to meat some Czech Gosus, got caught in the 1v1 scene and was looking for some articles. I read everything from Wgtcl strategy section and googled Tl.net, reccomended threads, Mostly BigBalls And Breakdowns. Like half a year later I have been luring into other parts of it as well and well... thats my story, no Kang Min involved

And what inspiried you to write this story ?


the whole ordeal of ra not being a player any more made me sad as it has everyone else, figured i'd share my story about him. i'm also curious because i was thinking about why/how i'm on TL and how my involvement got so deep... it's almost like a second job.



oh ok. I thought maybe it was because of the blog about Boxer I wrote yesterday.

When Broodwar.com steadily declined in activity (I really dont know what year it was, around 01/02?) I searched for another site and found TL.net. At that point though I was more engaged with the German Starcraft community, so I only lurked. Due to Rage and Cow, who are both staffmembers here and also played BWCL for my clan I started to join the TL.net IRC channel and spend even more time reading the forums. I then eventually made an account for the first (or second?) TL.net chesstournament and have been a member ever since.

When all of the american run clan ladders started to die out (cloudmania, cloira, SCDL, BWDL) teamliqud formed their own website/forum (I forget the exact timing), I've been here lurking since the inception, I had an older account but I forgot the password to that one

My story sucks. In late '04 my Korean friend found his SC CDkey and immediately we started mass gaming on west (first time in.. iono 3~ years). It wasn't long before we'd made some friends, one of which, eras, recommended to me two starcraft sites to get replays etc. One was TL the other was SG.net (later gg.net). The ease and beauty of TL immediately attracted me, although i didn't sign up for another year when Pusan started destroying everything.

My brother was occupying DotA so i went to play starcraft on my old computer. Then I saw Boxer SCV rush. Then I just kind of lurked on TL for a while and then signed up and started trolling posting constructively.

That's a great story.

I feel like my discovery of TL is so boring in comparison t.t

My friend gallowmere simply told me about it and how great it was/is when I started getting into competitive starcraft. lol...

To meet tasteless and nal ra... now that would be amazing.

Some people have such elaborate and fun stories
I don't actually remember how I found TL since it was a long time ago. I had a different account before this one so it wasn't related directly to me joining HnR) and finding the site because other HnR) members were on the site... I think I found the site either via the Battle.net SC forums or from someone in public chat kj @ USEast [who might have been in HnR) since several of them also hung out there].

DAMN IT SUSIE YOU'RE SO AWESOME ;_;

edit: I was starting to get interested in progaming after Blizzcon 2005 and I found Pimpest Plays 2005, I think. During Boxer's Vulture + Mine jump vs Terato, out came a quote from mensrea, and I was like, "Hmm maybe I'll check this website out." Rest is history ^_^

I lurked here consistently since maybe 2001. I mostly came to read about the pro scene. I remember reading about the epic OSL final with Boxer and Garimto back in 2001 or so. I remember following Nada's rise to power. I never have had highspeed at home, so I couldn't watch any of the VODS, and this place always had good write ups of the games. I only became a registered member in perhaps 2003 or 2004, and only started really using the forums maybe a year or two ago.

I forget exactly why I was looking for tips with regards to Starcraft, probably one of the bi-annual tourneys at my college coming up. I wasn't aware of any of the larger sites except sclegacy which seemed kind of dead forum wise when I visited it at the time. So I went over to the bnet S&T forums and I believe it was EvilTeletubby that mentioned Teamliquid.

Everyone else was blabbering about how TL is a bunch of elitist assholes which translated in my head to "these Teamliquid guys must know their shit" so I searched out TL, fished around the forums, and slowly started coming more and more often. Now every time I get online TL is one of the first things if not the first thing I check.

I was in China last summer right after school ended. This was also the time when SC II was announced. I've played SC ever since it came out in 98 but was never serious about it. I knew there were pros but I did not know exactly how good they were.

So one day last summer I was sititng in my grandma's living room and I thought maybe I could youtube some pro starcraft. To my great surprise, TONS of videos popped up. I didn't know which one to pick so I picked the one labeled "Nony-Artosis commentary Savior-Bisu MSL Final" or something to that effect. I watched the game, then the series. I was hooked. I had no idea how good these guys truly were. And believe it or not, I was not impressed by the protoss who won but by the zerg that lost. That zerg was of course Ma Jae Yoon. So he is the one that brought me back to starcraft and that's way he is my favorite player and always will be.

But I wanted MORE, I wanted to learn more about this fascinating pro-scene and I wanted to play SC again. I believe I heard either Nony or Artosis mention teamliquid somewhere or I saw it on the side of the video or something. Anyway I visited TL once and that was all that it took for me to stay.

edit: and what timing! I registered on TL almost exactly a year ago on the 17th! Ah sweet sweet love!

I was playing sc one day and went looking for help on the internet. I posted a really crappy noobfest rep of my friend and I on the blizzard forums. Decaf berated me for it, but in a nice way, sort of telling me that there was too much wrong with my play for him to even start giving advice. After this I forced myself into the pckj group, (Decaf, mahnini, Kau, Amor, several others) and made them all beat me over and over again in an attempt to get better. Mahnini and Kau ended up taking me under their collective wings and somewhere in there introduced me to TL, and you have been stuck with me since.
