TLO has done it! He has achieved 10/10 beard points and will be enjoying a well-deserved trim.
Presenting the TLO Beard in its fully evolved form:
Dario, you are an inspiration to all of us!

I, for one, believe it is time to recognize the most terrifying force on the e-sports scene today: The TLO Beard.
At first I wondered whether the TLO Beard, as a newcomer to the esports scene, in fact deserved its own fanclub. But after some inquiry, my doubts were alleviated.
I have it on good authority that the only things more manly than the TLO Beard are the SR-71 Blackbird, Chuck Norris' chest hair, and the 1972 Miami Dolphins--the latter being debatable. Ron Jeremy is on the record as saying that the TLO Beard is "damn impressive" and so manly that "[it] makes my entire career and body of work just seem somewhat, you know, inadequate."
I attempted to contact the head coach of Prime for comment before creating this thread, but at the Beard's mere mention he began mumbling incoherently and cowering in terror. I cannot be sure, but he appeared to be making some desperate, wordless, and likely futile appeal to his god.
I dont understand. Do we have a fanclub for everyone now? Yeah I know, TLOs beard is a great entertainer, but are we ever gonna see TLOs beard winning an MLG? I dont think so. Can you really say you think TLObeard has even the slightest chance of getting into code S? or even code A? I just dont know man. wait till the beard at least participates in some high level tournaments. Maybe he'll be as good as TLO one day, but I think this is just premature.

we are far past having only fanclubs for players, plenty of entertainers, even models with no knowledge about starcraft(sporrer) get fanclubs here on tl so there is absolutely know reason to deny someone as important for the esports scene as tlo's beard a fanclub

I couldnt agree more.
Besides, TL desperately needs more beards and chest hair, and less QQ and whining.
As The TLO Beard matured, Nestea and MVP fell into Code A, Slayers_Boxer decided to coach full-time, EG stopped winning despite having its best players training in Korea, and Terran failed to make it to GSL Code S finals. Coincidence? I think not.
Can I start an EG Chinstrap Fanclub, just to raise EG TL rivalry to the next level, threads about hair. Of course the real talking point will be Ret's double treachery: his fling with Demu and his chinstrap.
This fanclub's days are numbered. It's beautiful, but have you guys thought about what's gonna happen when he dominates and the beard comes off? Do we take pictures of the beard cuttings in the sink? Post beard-memory stories? Draw imitation-TLO-beards on his newly clean shaven face, or , worse, on the faces of other pros?
I can't get emotionally attached to this thread, cuz one day poof, all the happy memories will be gone, like so many sad hair clippings down the drain. Can't get involved here.

Obviously the beard will find a new home, as it has done previously!

you can go ahead and make a fanclub for jyp's knee if you want, but i have always thought that jyp's knee is kind of average and therefore i am not a big fan of it, ->if you are, go make a fanclub!
ha! I guess it's finally time to get a brown colored robe to go with that beard. Seriously how awesome would it be if he showed up looking like that with a brown bathrobe...

You, sir, have terrible judgment, atrocious taste, and no appreciation for competitive drive. The TLO Beard strikes fear in the hearts and minds of opponents, for a man capable of wearing that beard is capable of anything.

There's no such thing as trying too hard. Perhaps you should start trying more.

pls grow some beard(that should totally be a new phrase in the espors scene) and get off please, this thread is better off without you
I personally am a huge fan of TLO's beard. It's been so great to watch it's development, to see it mature from just a small, still incredibly manly beard, to the huge beast of a thing we see today. I don't think TLO's beard gets enough recognition, and has been too underrated for too long. Sign me up!

False. This is not pornographic content. The test for obscenity was established by the Supreme Court in Miller v. California. The Court held that a work is pornographic or obscene only if "the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value."
Clearly the TLO Beard possesses great artistic and scientific value. Therefore, this thread does not violate the Team Liquid pornography guidelines.
Men have become less manly looking...and beards have somehow turned into something which society has stigmatized as dirty and scruffy...or Muslim terrorists...
Whoop whoop TLO showing beards can make you more interesting and unique and best of all its a natural feature that we all hide from...
I noticed that a lot of people are afraid of having a beard and I don't blame them. Today's society is simply too effeminated with all those clean shaven men. I mean....accept your manhood, you shouldn't walk around like a caveman, but you shouldn't look like a woman either. A clean, trimmed beard can do wonders. We need more TLO's and Chuck's...the world would be a better place.

That's pretty epic...added to OP!
And yeah, TLO's beard looks a lot like Khal Drogo's...what a total boss. Now imagining TLO giving Drogo's war speech before a tournament match...scary.

I actually suspect that TLO still has severe carpal tunnel, and that he gets his APM from his beard...the hairs lift his fingers off of the keyboard like a marionette so that it looks like he is playing. Need confirmation on this, but I think that Flash is the only human being who can see the action of the hairs without a slow-motion camera.

-.- this just made me imagine davy jones trying to beat jack sparrow at starcraft with his tentacled shit
You know, I've heard legends of the powers TLO's beard bestows upon the people who lay a hand upon it. It apparently gives you the ability to summon taco's directly into your hand while you're laddering. TLO had to fight Day[9] for its' power, and TLO's win was so crushing, that day[9] was dejected, and stopped laddering for a long long time...

Woah...
I KNEW the world was falling apart! I just did not know the source!!!!
I feel like I should sign up for the TLO fanclub before I sign up for his beard's, but I think his beard needs the support. Sign me up, beard hwaiting!
Sign me up haha, this is my first fan club but i believe this may be the most significant one yet . After all who else has a Professional starcraft II beard that averages 200 apm?
At 10/10, the beard will not cease to exist. Rather, like a dying star of sufficient mass, it will collapse into a singularity. And though it no longer will be directly observable at this point, its massive effect upon the space/time continuum will continue to be felt.

@LiquidTLO (3/19): And another beardpoint I didn't play in the finals but I contributed to NASTL in previous rounds! checked with @LiquidNazgul so 7/10 ^^
TLO Beard is losing to Poopfeast 420! Unacceptable! Europe's most magnificent mass of filamentous biomaterial is falling before a common troll, go vote:

I totally support this. The beards power level - represented by the beard points - has of course to be over 9000
@bonse: it was either a misstatement or it refers to cws or showmatches that will be broadcasted in the future as I don`t assume that he gave himself a beard point for MLG.

TLO's Beard doesn't play Starcraft, Starcraft plays with TLO's beard.
One time i was talking about zvp matchup in TLO's stream chat saying it was very difficult for zerg, and he called me out and was like "yelling" at me (not using all caps or anything just can't find a better word) about howzerg was much better. i was extremely upset O_O
Launched the new version of http://heynicebeard.com/ with breakdown of points. It's not complete so if you have any specific information for the missing points, do tell me
Actually I'm growing my own beard against my own will.
I was in a kind of a slump recently. I was just doing nothing and lament about myself, hence feeling even downer, hence doing even less, etc. I need something artificial to push me up, so I choose to follow the TLO Beard model (except that points are not SCII related but covers lots of different things, and that I added negative points), and my Beard bet against and with me is working quite well. I didn't shave since around two month, and, as I'm 3 out of 10 Beards points but earning them quite fast, I hope to shave before the mid-summer. Will see !

So what happens when the subject of a fanclub is brutally murdered? How do we go about this tragic time? T_T
Just like Jesus himself my facial hair will cross over from the realm of dead again and rise once more to spread it's holy message. When the time has come, maybe less shaggy but my face shall not remain hairless forever.

Флэш просто суший макро терран я не понемаю зачем он вызвался за ничю приемушество было у него на стороне он мог бы просто полететь половиной зданий и поехать войсками в атаку под зданиями зделать сиеге и просто тупо убить тосса у которого был 1 чтормер и пачка кареров с пачкой гунов протев террановского лимита это смешно просто смешно в любом случае у него стояло столько турелей что даже если бы он не смог убить всех кареров то он мог бы просто порубить их интрецепторов а если бы даже не добил то всё равно кареры бы их слили на его туретках которых там было чтук 20
