With such a rich history it's no surprise that TL is now capable of looking back into the past with the eyes of many non-koreans on a predominantly korean SC history

I love your writing Riptide. I really do. With you (and all the News team actually) TL's heritage is definitely in very good hands. You guys never fail to deliver.
You make me proud to be a TL member.

Lol first post

Just wanted to say that this was an awesome article. The intro and the pictures were a nice touch as well. 2002 seems like so long ago... I didn't start lurking here till only recently, like mid-2008. So much history from a single game.

Thanks riptide!

god you're new.

edit - great article riptide! You're a great addition to the list of epic writers.

I have great dreams of what TL.net will become, with all its leaders, writers, and general contributors.

I would like to make special mention to Mensrea, whose writing drew me into the scene completely - i had no choice. I found his writing to be the most engaging of any i've ever read, and i do miss his presence here.

I would also like to give special kudos to Hot_Bid as a writer, as i find his prose to also be top tier.

Teamliquid.net, i love you.

Cheers to many more years, and a continued evolution of greatness.
Happiness only real when shared.
