Liquibet has been updated to support a separate database for StarCraft 2 leagues. You can now vote for the GSL Season 2 Ro64 at http://www.teamliquid.net/liquibet2/
What is Liquibet? Liquibet is a fun way to compete with your friends and add some stakes to StarCraft 2 leagues and games. You simply select who you think will win in each match up, and you gain points for correct answers. At the end of the Liquibet season, a small prize is awarded to the winner.
Prizes 1st place: TL T-shirt, GSL Season 3 Premium Ticket, Liquibet Winner icon. 2nd place: GSL Season 3 Premium Ticket
Make sure to vote before the games begin at http://www.teamliquid.net/liquibet2/!

Awesome, thanks alot.
So many random koreans you have no idea if they're actually good or not :s
|
Great news. The feature bar will be updated soon I would assume.
Also, the open liquibets link (on the liquibet2 page) redirects to SCBW. Perhaps two separate links?
|
I wonder how much correlation there will be between # of votes and and having a picture.
|
Just to be clear, does this liquibet season run until the end of GSL 2?

nobody else need bother entering, i'm going to win
|
Great. Hoping to see more and more of this.
|
I can't seem to navigate to GSL 2 through the dropdown menu or profile link ^^
|
Can't wait to bet for everyone who has a picture! :D
|
|
When two people don't have a picture I guess the right choice is to just not pick anyone, right?
|
Too many random koreans I've never seen before.
|
:D awesome, Must be as lucky in Liquibet2 as I was in BW Liquibet
|
^ like many others, voted people with pictures over those who don't
|
so, who do i vote?? i hardly know any of the players :'(
|
omg i SOOOO wanna win a TL-shirt
i guess 1 place comes with free shipping right
|
|
I just voted for every ex bw pro or known sc2 player. There was only a handful where I didn't know one of the players
|
My voting strategy:
t>p>z.

My heart says TLO but my mind says Sangho...aaaarrrrgghh I'm torn :S
|
Voted for Chicken Combo because that is the best SC2 name I've seen so far.
|
I have been waiting for these! Great

Lol, exactly what I did pretty much, since I don't know most of the players at all.

LOL, I thought about this but the new patch is mixing things up!!
I mostly went pictures but some like Loner and Happiness have enough weight to there name that I think it gives them an edge.
Most of all thanks TL for doing this, This site just keeps getting better and better, <3 TLAF!
|
Cool, thanks! Also voted a lot for the players with pictures but that's because they also did well in GSL1.
|
YES! I was just thinking about this earlier today. I'll probably fail pretty hard since it isn't BW though. 
(These names are great, Chickencombo and FreeDSL - what will they think of next.)
|
awesome! have been waiting for that :D

i was really disappointed when we didnt get liquibets for WCG finals  oh well. i guess you were working on this.
|
|
Great to see liquibet for sc2!
|
Love liquibet 
I voted, but quite honestly most of it was just guessing since some of these players aren't well known since it's a new game.
|
yes my dreams came trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
|
I started voting at the last page to make sure I didn't forget a page and saw Boxer. As he is doing very well from what I hear I naturally voted for him. Only then I realised...It's not the correct Boxer! It's a poser! I hate those people. To ignorant to pick their own name, just hoping to ride the wings of fortune of their namesake.
Oh well. Here's to hoping Baby chokes and crashes in a burning pile.

Fantastic! I loved the idea of liquibet for BW but wasn't familiar enough with the BW scene to make even remotely good choices.
However I think I have a pretty good grasp on the SC2 pro-scene so I'll dig the hell out of this.
|
Omg so sick! I'm pumped for this !
|
awesome thanks!!!
How do I get there without the direct link from the op?
|
Good thing I've already saw this thread Loved it!
|
|
god damnit, voted before I saw the Patch 1.1.2 Notes lol.
thanks anyway!

Those had a huge inpact on my votes, eventhough it remains to be seen how huge the influence is gonna be.
I probably fail big time in Round 1, but after analysing every game for hours, I will predict the hole tournament perfectly!
|
|
I'm just gonna be throwing darts lol
|
Awesome, god I've missed seeing yellow up in that corner.
|
Hopefully we can get this added to the Features dropdown at the top of TL, alongside Liquibet
|
|
TLO vs Sangho? Goddamit, that's a pretty tough opening game. I think Zerg's gonna make a bit of a comeback this GSL, against Terran at least. But we shall see...

hell yeah liquibet
lots of hard picks in the ro64, and not just with the unknown players either.
|
Some of these bets have people with TWO PICTURES?! Who do I vote for?!
|

I have no idea who 90% of these players are. This round is such a crapshoot. -_-
|
Yes, yes, yes! I loved this for BW, and I'm sure I'm gonna love it now as well!
Thank you very much!
|
Great ! guess its time to vote for pictures
|
Wow had no idea this was happening during S1. Or was it? In any case I'm here to win suckas.
|
this is so great!!! Very excited about GSL liquibets, thanks tl!
<3
|
great, that adds a little more fun to the games  thx!
|
1.2 made this a pretty interesting liquibet I have most higher tier zergs favoured over the other races now. Hopefully they dont dissapoint!
|
Wow! We have prizes for Liquibet now!? Suwheeet!
|
|
I feel bad for ChaosTheory, probably the worst draw possible.
|
i was about to bet when i just saw the new patchnotes... not sure if they're playing now with the latest patch 1.1.2...if so i think that's gonna make at least a lil bit of a difference in some match-ups...
|
awesome. i hope i win.
|
Shirt is amazing. Also pics>> no pics

Got 14th place in last liquibet season, voted for Light over Jaedong for MSL and WCG, weren't for that I'd be in 2nd place.
I believe in myself.
|
|
Should have read the new patch notes before I made all my bets. :/
Actually, most of them were just guesses anyway so I doubt it would have helped my chances.
|
|
If chicken combo manages to beat idra, he is gonna get SO MANY FANS, it will be just insane. Killer name there  Thanks so much for this liquibet guys! TL always getting better and working for us ^^. P.S: Idra i will bet for you anyways! roast that chicken!
|
Well, I decided to vote for all the people who DIDN'T have a picture!! Unless it was someone really big(like fruit dealer) IO went with the no names.
Let's see how it plays out.
|
Holy shit, I'm too tired to do this right now (spent 2 hours picking people). I'll choose the rest tomorrow or something. Christ, I have better things to do than this- like lab report OTL
|
This is awesome!
I'm curious if we're going to get liquibets for the MLG series eventually too?
|
Cool, thanks for yet another chance at winning something ! I had to register and get in on the fun ! Maybe someday Ill actually have learned enough to say something intelligent about SC2. Until then, I'm a keep my mouth shut. You guys scare me..
|
This'll be fun 
|
voted for TLO.
think it was heart not head
|
|
YES i love liquibet, even though most of the picks right now are kind of a shot in the dark.
|
just curious do you get minus points if you get an answer wrong? Or are just the right answers beeing rewarded ?
|
|
Felt so good to be able to LB Boxer after not getting the chance for quite a while. Couldn't help but grin a little bit.
|
man according to my liquid bet only 5 zergs are going to get into the ro32...
|
Permaban against people who vote against TLO? Good policy?
|
Well, all the random Koreans will make for an interesting point distribution at least :D
Somebody's gonna get lucky. And it better be me :/

Rofl at Boxer[arnc] But it brings back too many bad memories. I really had hope for fake yellow and his clone luxury
|
Finally, been hwaiting for this. Thanks!
|
Boxer[arnc], hahahahaha. Barnc it is then.
Barnc v.s. ManofOneway would be a pretty amazing final.
|
|
I have been waiting for liquidbets for starcraft 2. Thank you for putting this up =D
|
Boxer[arnc] hahaha
well played

I was totally wondering when this would happen. Now just waiting on SC2 clan logos in signatures :>

Finally SC2 Liquibet is here! Was already wondering when it will come. Great job TL!
|
Voted by ladder rating (unless big names, NaDa, FruitDealer, or anyone who made it far in GSL1) other then that pretty much a total crapshoot. This will get more fun once we see how a bunch of these no namers/old pros play.
|
Nice, thanks for this!
Didn´t know all of the players but have some save bets. (i hope)
|
Genius vs "Rain" (T) is wrong. I voted thinking it was the Terran Rain, and get to second page and there's Rain (T) again eep. Genius is playing against the zerg rain.

TLO is playing sangho... good luck to TLO! :D

Looking forwards to the Ro32 where most of the no-names will be eliminated, or at least have a good ro64 to go off.
|
Pic>no pic, known name>unknown name. Damn I'm all set up to win . Actually I'm super stoked because I was finally able to vote for TLO in a liquibet setting.
|
Hmm, certainly me, but I don't find the way (except this thread) to go back on the page once we voted for all the matches. :s
Nice job anyway, thanks for the gambling.

jajajajajaja great... i did that for some but with the new patch i started to think that Z > T since most of the terrans in korea love to harras with fast reaper... and now with range 4 i think hellions will be killed faster and many terrans that got into RO64 playing like that might get busted with the new patch :D
And well.. 9 zergs in RO32 doesn't sound that bad lol.

Wow those are very nice prizes. Thanks guys!

yay ! just voted, partly "pic > nonpic" , partly just going for the names, and partly... just betting on TLO because i hope he goes through :D Looking forward to the outcome of this.
|
Thank you so much hot :D Was few days ago wondering when it comes :d
|
Suggestion: Add a liquibet 2 link under liquibet 1? :3
|
i voted for anyone whose name i recognized and on the MUs where i didnt know anyone i pretty much just flipped a coin xD
HELL YEAH LIQUIBET
|
Tankboy is up against clide? That sucks.
He's great and I love him but I'm pretty sure he's gonna lose hard.
|
Oh sweet Liquibet is back, nice TL!

I'm pretty sure EllenPage is the #1 on the Korean ladder (BoxeR), so it's probably a safe vote.

Nice, I'm gonna have a SC2 Liquibet 1 winner icon, to go along with my old one
|
We'll see how my 'blindly choose the guy with a picture' strategy goes.
Think we'll have to get a round or two in before we can really have a good basis for our choices. But should be fun! Thanks for putting this up!
|
I think Sync could be a dark horse. He's in a picture vs picture match so I bet lots of people didn't go with him but as a OSL winner he seems pretty unknown.
|
Great job. Gotta love liquibet all the way!
Thanks!

Pic>badass name>t>p>z>no pic
Im pretty sure these are the standards...

How come there is no link to Liquibet 2 in the top left corner beside the liquibet counter under our username?
|
I'm so happy I watched GSL1 from beginning to finish. I know who everyone is! Even if I didn't see them in the GSL I watched Oldboy with NalRA and now I feel a little bit better informed.
|
voted for all the retired BW pros, foreigners and people with pictures. people without pictures colliding i just chose the top one :o wait what about the old liquibet
|
this is awesome, i think my votes are pretty good, cant wait to see how i do.

Penny, I have faith in you...

I just noticed this.... and it's amazing I was waiting to see how long until this would happen.

sangho gonna upset tlo and and launch me to liquibet super stardom. iirc tlo is weak on his tvp and i also know everyone is going to pick tlo regardless.

Waiting for a link in the menu bar.

|
I feel so guilty for picking SangHo over TLO .... I almost wanna be wrong ..
|
So 2605 got all 5 right on the first day... lol
|
Wait wth, I got 4 / 5 -.-
I was sure all of my favourites won...
Apparently I picked the other guy over Inca, which is ridiculous, Inca is amazing!..
I don't know what I was smoking when I tried the liquibet.

Honestly, these picks weren't too difficult since it was mostly known good player vs. unknown player. I'm more surprised that 100 people only got 1 right, meaning they at least voted against either FruitSeller or Boxer, both of which are blasphemy.
|
Argh! I forgot to vote yesterday, now I'm done five points from everybody else. 
I ended up voting for quite a few Zergs. Some of it was definitely wishful thinking, but I still think that they will have a good chance.

6/6 liqubets so far lets go fake boxer.

Aloha! My liquidbets i did yesterday dont seam to be accounted for. Voted on all available matches at the /LB2 link. Even saw after a couple of logins that the site had listed all my bets and read who each of the players i had bet in, instead of the previus vote option. Now i see no bets, nor any of the played matches beeing accounted for.. I am SOO angry righht now.. jk but ye if it could be fixd somehow that would be sweet <3
|
Well, after this morning's set; down to 51 leaders at 9-0.
Edit: Halfway through the night set; down to 20 at 11-0
|
As HongUnPrime disappointed the 9 leaders are now 12-1.
|
Wah HongUnPrime! How could you!
|
Yes, I did vote for HongUnPrime, maybe I should watch out for Kyrix next time. If I had only more post count than tiffany, I would be first. I don't know how the rest of my bracket will turn out since I voted for a few upsets.
|
Nice , I can't wait to see who wins GSL 2 liquibet
|
Clide lost? oh come on!
went 0/4 today =D
|
This has been a pretty interesting liquibet so far. So many fluxes due to favorites being upset and unknowns being thrown in.
|
Yeah, I got dominated today. Basically all the favorites lost so everyone with some prior knowledge of players went way down xD
At least I have gotten to watch a lot of the players, get some new opinions and hopefully make a strong recovery in the Ro32!
|
Hey I'm new to liquibet so sorry if this is a dumb question but were we limited to 32 votes in total or are the votes replenished with each new round as the matchups are announced?
|
Will the ro32 be up on liquibet in time for tomorrows (fridays) games? They are 19:00 kst so there is still time!
|
My guess they skip tomorrow's round, because of the time period (from what I know they give people atleast 2days to vote), which is sad because It's actually easy votes I guess. I guess they continue bringing up the liquibets for Monday, since it's now known what brings next week.
|
It would be cool to get RO32, there are some interesting matches :o. LoL i got 10 wins in a row ^^ but still 3 points behind the leader with other 100 people.

What ? SanZenith vs CheckPrime PhoenixWerra vs TSL_BabyByebye oGsTheWind vs MacaPrime,
And i Still believe that some other matches are hard to predict. That guy ParkJongHyuk had a freaking amazing micro, i doubt he kill Nada because he will get nervous but i think he will give a really good fight.

I hope the staff are working hard to bring the Ro32 bets online before tomorrow's games. Keep at it guys!

Lol, this is so bullshit. I prioritize my votes based on former progamer, pics, terran and I missed 5 points yet I'm still at 20 points. Terran imba ftw!
|
There is an error in the new liquibets, all the games of day 1 are worth 0 points
Dont know who to PM...

I think that is intended actually, because it's so close to match date like I said before a few posts ago, it's the same reason Broodwar votes were not up if i'm not mistaken, but would be nice if some1 could clarify.
|
After my horrible ro64 liquibets I stopped voting for who I thought was going to win. And instead did the rational thing: ex-BW pro's over anybody then z>p , z>t , t>p. Mirror matches are easier cause usually you know who is better. My rank should go up!
|
I'm still fighting! Only 3 points behind.
I really hope to get at least 10 out of 13. I feel confident :O 8 terrans 3 Protoss 5 Zergs to ro16!

I hope not, I had 3/4 right

Damn, i got all the first 4 RO32 but they didn't counted lololol
|
I got 4/4 today (including ITR vs Rain game which result is not yet shown there) and 0 points :o I hope it's a bug though
|
I'm sure that is intented because many people didn't vote on time.
|
can someone sticky this since this is not an option to pull down in the liquidbets? tired of searching for it =]
|
When exactly do you close the bets? It's 15 minutes till games but it's already closed  There is even no stream yet
|
Man I would be winning if I hadnt missed out on a round of voting Missed out on a possible 8 points and I would have got 6/8 right, now I'm 3 behind leader.

Seconded, or else please add a link from the BW liquibet section. Or alternatively tell me that I'm being stupid and missed the big giant link somewhere in the links left, right or top.
|
search function ftw "Liquibet 2"
|
who won liquidbet 2?
will there be a prize for GSL season 3? :D
|
Hmm is it me or are the GSL2 liquibets wiped? Selecting GSL2 at the 'my ranking' & 'index' yields no results.
