Today, September 22nd is the day recognised as Team Liquid's birthday. Created in 2002, Team Liquid has survived 6 years and is as awesome as ever. When it was celebrated two years ago, Manifesto7 gave a lot of statistics showcasing Team Liquid's growth. Not wanting to poke the coders in their cage, I decided on a different route for my celebration.
Over the past year alone, Team Liquid has achieved much, some of the highlights being:
However, over its lifespan Team Liquid has given us so much more, presents that have been discarded due to the sands of time. The Team Liquid community has amazing talent, and some of the best are the writers of the community with articles, battle reports and more recently in Team Liquid's history, the Final Edits. I have previously cast a spotlight on the writers of Team Liquid with my post about the 'Players of GSI', however this time, I bring the best of Team Liquid.
A collection featuring six articles from contributing community members (Plexa, WaxAngel, Smurg, Manifesto7, pubbanana, Arbiter[frolix]) remade in a glossy magazine-like format for your reading pleasure. The articles were picked for various reasons, one such being a tribute to the recently retired Kang Min (Nal_rA) and recent golden mouse recipient JulyZerg.
Some of you may have read the articles before, for some this may be a new experience.
For any, I invite you to live, re-live and enjoy.

I've been doing things more worthwhile than browsing this insanely addicting forum all day, and hanging on IRC reading Strafe's crap. I think I'll be going back to doing that, just wanted to drop in and say congratz on another year of TL.net owning the foreign scene like no other site.

You provided me w/ thousands of good memories and great insight. There's more to TL than being a computer base game, it's a community full of unique smart members. Although I was not always a full fledged member when it started, I checked up on it daily basis. There was times when I wasn't able to login because my lifestyle but I always came back.
Now Cheers!

Happy birthday TL. This site has molded me to a better human being and i have visited this site daily since early 2003 and once in a while before that.
And since I joined I have posted more than one post every day. Cheers

Where's the cake? :D
Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday TL. Not just the site. If it wasn't for the waxangels,mensreas,And every amazing member of the actuall Team Liquid, and the rekruls ,everybody else I never would have been as involved in bw or the pro gamming scene.
Thank you all. I just realized that I've been visiting this site since october 2002 I had no idea the site was new, with the moderaters and how well everything was setup I assumed I came years after it was started. How Neat!

A bit 
Quoted from the " NHN Hangame OGN Starleague - FINAL " in the pdf file
"....Kinda reminds me of Uncle Ho's infamous prognostication on the outcome of American military involvement in Vietnam: for every 10 of our soldiers you kill, we will kill 1 of yours. In the end, it is you who will tire..."
I dont want to bump the original thread but would love to know which source did you cite from? I never heard about this. If there was a story that you ever read that would be great for me to take as a reference

Happy Birthday TL!!!
I joined in 2007 only - so I am a noob at TL.net too  - but loved every minute of my membership since.
I hope we can celebrate the 10th birthday with an equally enthusiastic, lively and welcoming community.

Thanks for making and maintaning one of the best sites in the interweb.

happy birthday to me t00 :>
|
I loved the articles formed up into an e-zine, that was really cool~
|
On a somewhat related manner (related to the image in the OP), does anyone have a TL wallpaper with the horses or a decent resolution image that could be used to make one, or would I have to buy it from Jim Warren to use?
Also, I dig the party hats on the horses.
