The time before Christmas and the holiday itself mark a very special time of the year. Especially in Germany kids can't wait for the first December, as tradition dictates that they'll receive a special item: An advent calendar. An advent calendar features a Christmas themed picture and doors featuring the numbers 1 to 24. Any door can be opened on the respective day and will reveal its secret once unlocked. Theoretically speaking, the doors only showed another tiny picture to make kids smile. Today however the more popular approach is to add candy, chocolate or other kind of sweets there.
We'd like to pass on the tradition and announce our very own Brood War advent calendar. We can't possibly offer free candy, but we did our best to collect some content. Content can mean anything: interviews, VODs, Battle Reports, highlight clips and such. The size of the articles may vary, but we sincerely hope you appreciate the effort! Oh, also be sure you can play in the upcoming days...                         If you have not understood the concept by now - all the above images will turn into links once the time comes. We tried to make it so that each picture also enables you to guess the content of the upcoming days. However, due to all of us having a busy real life, the actual content might vary and the pictures won't match towards the end.

Then send the elly pic to salle. If that doesnt help, contact XKCD and ask if you can hire him.

Awesome idea, not looked forward to an advent calendar as much since a lego one like a decade ago :D

They got rid of it a while back to try and get the community more inclusive (as GD regulars were the only ones who would really post in the thread anyway) but now I don't really have a regular place to chat with people there so I just occasionally frequent the live report threads but back to BW I am for now

Bump. Another door for you, written in the very last seconds. I mean, what were we gonna do? Write GGZerG a poem? No, it's speed runs. This makes no sense, I'm tired.

Interesting and fun. Keep making content like this in the future!
