I was terran, my team mate was terran, my opponents were terran and zerg. The game went something like this: me: "lol i remember dis stuff i used to use protoss and build a lot of dark archons and maelstrom when the comp tries to nuke me. nukes are so OP" me: "lol i love mass siege tanks best strategy ever" (by mass at the time i meant like 10) me: "lol wat i don't remember this game at all.. umm how do i tech to siege tanks?" zerg: "get vespene and factory and stuff" me: "k" terran ally: "lol yeah me too" terran opponent: "nukes are really good LOLOLOL" *10 minutes later i realize that it's an island map as i'm starting to run low on minerals me: "WTF ITS AN ISLAND MAP" zerg: "ya duh" me: "fuk" *i'm frantically building a starport and a command center *15 minutes in or so i get comsat. I scan randomly and see a zerg expo base me: lol i found ur extra base dude zerg: lol which one me: wat *20 minutes in i send a dropship with two siege tanks over to said base and it gets annihilated by a mass of mutas and spore colonies me: wtf dude how did u get dat much zergs zerg: lol idk me: k terran opponent: so wait how do you build nukes again? i forgot terran ally: uhhhhh i think you have to get armory me: no it's science facility terran opponent: oh okay *30 minutes in i'm looking at my expansion base and then suddenly "Your forces are under attack" me: wat *i look back at my base and something like 24 guardians and 24 devourers and 12 ovies are floating over my base. my antiair consists of 1 valk, 3 missile turrets, 5 marines, 1 goli, something like that. me: HOLY SHIT LOOK AT MY BASE WTF HOW THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT zerg: lol i have like all the bases on the map me: o zerg: lol me: omfg guardians imba  zerg: lol zerg is rly good yah me: omfg gay zerg: lol In my quest to beat this Zerg player I found boxer replays.
So I go online a few days later. I remember someone telling me about this guy named Boxer who's the best player in the world. I kept thinking like "meh this game is kind of dumb it's just about who builds more shit mainly". So I find this replay of Boxer vs. Ever)P(Zealot and I'm just like whattttttt the helllllllllllll vultures and mines and patrol button?????_???? pretty soon i start downloading boxer replays off of gosugamers and i find the "gundam rush build order" on some really shitty starcraft forum and i proceeded to use it to beat my friends every game, even the Zs and the Ts. After about a few months I notice that this teamliquid place seems to know what's up. So I came here.

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].
haha Peter.
My story is similar to yours, i basically just channel surfed till i played in a SGD tournament that i believe draeger ran in like late 2003 early 2004. Then stuck around with the Public chat kj crew on east till one day ETT mentioned that he was liquibetting, and i was like "wtf is liquibetting?"
after random insults thrown my way, i was linked to teamliquid, and ive been here since, mainly lurking, but still here.
Since last september i've tried to be more active in the community and contribute more, and through those efforts, i met infinity21, chill, and bill307 last winter for a lan at my place.

I can't quite recall how I found tl. I either saw it mentioned on broodwar.com or on s&t.
|
I have no idea how I started following teamliquid. I might have found my way here from reading SC battle reports at battlereports.com a long long time ago. I may also have found my way here from zileas.net which I spent some time at.

rofl kennigit at your first thread topic! ^^
I used to visit ggnet alot, but then they kinda got worse and worse. and I had visited TL.net before, but thought it was boring. Too much text and to much stuff to read. But now, I spend way to much time here. TL.net is like starcraft. You really have to discover the beauty to get amazed and love it ^^ Your all cool! <3
and lilsusie, thanks for this blog  have you ever met Ra after this? whatever happened to him and foreign scene, like you guys hang to gather at blizzcon. Was nothin like you guys met up with Sea recently? Have you thought about asking him out again? ^^ you know, since he retires now, he prolly has alot of time available!

I remember getting starcraft several years back, losing interest in it and letting it gather dust. Early last year (around the time of Savior's fall) I started to play again. I was searching for Terran guides and was linked here because of the Daze guide. I started lurking and then joined later.
^ this moron told me about it

Haha, that's 2 people I got!
And yeah, I actually remember that conversation in PCKJ. I also remember doing well in liquibet that season, then I'm pretty sure you've kicked my ass every season afterwards.

I found TL through a channel called Public Chat KJ@USEast. Some people were talking about it, and I decided to check it out. Glad I did, because the General forum is #1

I got on crunchyroll, saw YellOw and Reach being sexy, read the comments, found link to teamliquid.

If we could find a mid-point for all those willing, we should get a small gathering together somewhere near, then. Maryland itself isn't too far a drive from philly anyways.

*shrugs* I wouldn't mind driving a little, Philly is only like 2-3 hours away.

bah, this shit starts to get organized after i move north =(

I was googling something completely unrelated to starcraft, and saw a website called "teamliquid" in the search results. I thought the name was cool so I clicked on it. The cool layout and overwhelming amount of information blew me away. I started playing starcraft again.
|
I found tl.net after spending some time in op or probably clan amat at the time. I remember seeing a few people from tl.net there, including waxangel. I don't know how long it took me to join after I came here, but I probably actually went to the site around 2002. I have a very bad memory. as soon as I saw this thread, reminded me of this picture.

Mine's nothing fancy.
Actually played AoE2 TC back in the day a lot. I loved RTS and thought AoE2 was harder.. yeah right. But most of my friends here played SC so I kinda got dragged in somewhere around early or late '01 and we played a bunch all until '04 or so. Of course we were like 60 APM newbs..
Occasionally played some UMS during college, but as youtube as blossoming (after google bought it I think it got a lot bigger faster) I somehow got linked to a lot of pro SC vids which intrigued me. Inevitably somehow I got linked back to TL.net and I have lurked pretty much since last year until early April/May or so when I started posting occasionally.

Psshh, I think Jathin is at John's Hopkins med school now. I am planning on going to UMaryland med school for next fall (currently near DC w/ a few friends who follow pro SC). There's people around.. just gotta find them.
