The Calendar can solve every single one of these problems. In fact, it's why it's there. It might seem a bit selfish and lazy of to ask for this, but I think the people organizing these events will also find that they will have a lot more viewers if people actually know the broadcast times beforehand. In short, I think the BW community here would greatly appreciate it if the event managers would update the Calendar as far in advance as possible. Thank you. | ||

I don't know, I've always thought the idea of a more bw focused portal would help it grow. I'd love to see a C-OSL section, a gambits cup section, a YSL section, a TSL section and so on. There is lots of bw being played, but finding streams/vods/replays can be hard. Seeing as tl.net is growing phenomenally and is catering to a wider audience, why not keep each section more seperate. We already have: http://www.teamliquid.net/sc2/ http://www.teamliquid.net/dota2/ why not have a bw one too? | ||

A BW portal that would provide an overview for all the leagues/upcoming casts/replays etc. would be great. The question is if there's will from the TL team to make it possible and enough manpower from our side to make it happen. | ||

Having a 'centralised' place for BW will help to see exactly what tournaments are running, when, who's playing etc. In the top bar of teamliquid.net, where it says, Home, Starcraft 2 and Dota 2, why not have a BW portal?

I think that considering our current standing here, a BW portal would be way too much to hope for. We've been second class citizens here for quite a while now. The fact is that BW is not where the money is, so any resource TL.net spents on our community would be wasted in their eyes. (Note that the BW section was recently demoted to a position below Dota 2 in the default left sidebar.) That's why I just made a modest request that at least the resources that we do have at our disposal should be put to good use. | ||

If you don't see an event on the calendar, put it there yourself. I'm well aware that anyone can submit entries to the Calendar. What's stopping me from doing it myself are the reasons I mentioned in my original post: There are a lot of events, and I would have to go hunting for broadcast information for each of them through different threads, and I would have to do so on a regular basis. What I was suggesting was that someone involved in the organization of the events would do the updating - that way any one person will only have to take care of their own event, and they will have easier access to the information than us mere mortals. Plus, the organizers know about the schedule far earlier than we do, and if they update the Calendar as soon as they make the threads, the event will get far more exposure than if we wait for some good samaritan to come along and do it. All in all, "why don't you do it yourself" is basically what we've has been doing so far, and it's not working very well. And I really do think that it's in the interest of the organizers to make sure the events get posted as quickly as possible, so is this really asking too much? | ||

I know they have a wiki for it but nobody comments in the wiki. I was thinking about doing team interviews as well as some player interviews but I haven't got confirmation yet. | ||

If it wasn't for teamliquid, foreign brood war would be only a shadow of what it has been and is today. I am not making out that teamliquid is hurting bw is ANY WAY. However I think it's clear that tl.net is focusing on Starcraft 2, Dota 2 and newer games. I think it's a great thing, because the community here is amazing and opening up more doors for users/tournament organisers etc is what teamliquid does so well. Brood War is different. It is very old compared to these games. It has a loyal, hardcoreish following. It also has many many tournaments still running. Content won't be any issue at all, simply getting people to use a seperate website that is frequently updated with latest results etc. Thoughts? | ||

Too bad battlereports.com couldn't make a rebirth. But the website is horribly outdated. | ||
