I don't have a problem with progaming threads, it's just a problem when everything I see is turned into a progaming thread. Fana suggested some pretty cool topics, and you suggested him making a blog comparing what successful progamers have in common to what unsuccessful ones don't...because you know, the GENERAL TLer could really relate! It's a boring and overdone topic, imo. I think there is enough progamer coverage on these forums already that we don't need another analytical blog about why Saviour used to be the best and why he's not anymore. As someone else already stated, if the blog is interested and well written, it will be worth the read, and something given back regardless. Plus, I like getting to know more about people on these forums as opposed to some random Koreans half way across the world. Yeah they're good, so what?

Also, I think IN GENERAL most TLers come to TL because they like Starcraft and the sense of a community. There are probably those lurkers who stop by to check out who qualified for the OSL or whatever because of TL's quality, but I really wouldn't consider them true TLers. Just by looking at the sidebar to the left you can see that the majority of the subforums are centered around the community and/or StarCraft.

Personally, I don't care which progamer wins the next big tournament. I'd rather know which top foreigner wins something because those are people who actually contribute to our community and who I can relate to the most because they give us some perspective into their lives. They are posters like me and you. It would probably be amazing to chill out with Incontrol...it would probably be really awkward to hang out with Jaedong. And to me, the really awesome threads are the ones like the cake contest for SC2 beta keys. That really brings the community together and gives me the sense that we're all here because we love StarCraft, not because we like watching other people who are good at StarCraft.
