The BW era up until ~2005-2006 was my favourite time in the game for sure. Nazgul was a beast back then for sure. | ||

Sheth in SC2 was another player who's setup I found out of this world, and yet it seemed to have always worked for him. | ||

And the more tables you're able to play without being hindered by it, the better. yea I play more tables than any other 1kNL reg these days. I never even made GM but all the hours of playing competitive sc2 helps out a ton. you are completely right. | ||

I also found it interesting for the history of the making TLnet as a community. It must have been very special time with so much of the scene congregating in a single place, and with everyone having that feeling of being part of something that is constantly growing and evolving (mostly?) for the better. Can't help hoping that TLnet will be given a new lease on life through a major upgrade of the website. It does not look like RTS is dying with several new games on the horizon, and one could think that TLnet still has a role to play in the future, perhaps as a more generally-oriented RTS forum. But imo it would require the fundamental investment of a site upgrade before you can get the burst of activity from volunteers and forum members that could propel TLnet forward as a community. | ||

I also use my left hand on the mouse even though I'm right handed. Suboptimal would be a fair way to describe it. You also built units through positioning your mouse over the icon of the dragoon/zealot and then you'd cycle through your gateways and press the icons with your mouse, instead of 1z2z3z4d5d6d7d8d | ||

I think that was probably the first conscious protoss use of a lingproof wallin in any competition - it wasn't done to help with a fast expand, but to help give absurdly fast tech. | ||

What was your main plan for Teamliquid? Nazgul: From the moment TL started it was our intention to create the best possible SC site. Though there were many sites out there, some more interesting than others, but even the biggest such as broodwar.com were crap. We believed the SC fans deserved something bigger and better combined with a great atmosphere. Strict moderation is and was a rarity among SC sites. In my opinion it is the only way to create a truly great site. Most places think in order to get a large following you shouldn’t ban people. We have always relied on believing the opposite. There’s just so much uniqueness to be found on TL. It started with original content for news, replays, forums, TL events and we never looked back. To visit TL now and see the Calendar, TLPD, Fantasy league, TSL and tons of other features is just a great pleasure. Not to mention all the other awesome future features we are working on that I can’t speak of yet. We never just tried to be one of the sites, copying from others and producing as much junk as possible in order to hope to entertain a little. We started out solely with original content, using the Liquid name to draw people to the site and making sure they would never leave by just being better than anyone else. You were with TL since the very beginning. Did it grow the way you wanted it too or did it take a turn and form into what it is now? Nazgul: It’s impossible to predict specific things TL has come up with in the past, but on a more general level the atmosphere and level of professionalism of staff are everything we could have hoped for. TL is not just a place where you can share your passion for SC but also to be part of the greatest community I have ever encountered on the internet. It sounds cheesy but it is the truth. TL rocks it has grown into everything we hoped it could be and more. With SC2 coming out, do you think TL will get more popular and bigger? Nazgul: TL will undeniably grow with SC2. It even grew with the announcement of SC2, let alone the actual release. It is going to be a great challenge for us to focus on multiple games but we are doing everything we can to be ready. It is going to be hard with so many new members; moderation will only get us so far. We will need all of you to pick things up and explain new members how things work here. Like I said it’s going to be a challenge and we’re highly motivated and more than ready to take it heads on. How do you feel about what goes on in TL, such as the members, the staff, the news? Nazgul: The staff is awesome and the amount of contributions coming from within the forum itself is amazing. So much time goes into things that our members never get to see, every little move we make is well thought through and discussed many times over. Rarely do we prematurely release something or do things that suck. To get things right it takes tremendous amounts of preparation that often goes unseen. The commitment of so many staff members that are putting in countless of hours without ever being in the spotlight is astonishing. This kind of passion is something money will never be able to buy. Is there any secret plans brewing inside of TL.net that we can't know about? Nazgul: We have never had as many large projects in development as we currently have. Be ready for some crazy stuff the coming few months. | ||
