This is so fucking sweet. Can't wait to watch these guys at MLG. Great to see these 2 awesome games from different genre's merge through Liquid. I really like what Nazgul had to say how it reminds him of BroodWar, and it kinda makes me sad I miss the BroodWar scene not because of any "better game or dead game" shit just the nastalgia sake. I haven't played melee in awhile but I definitely feel the itch to play again! Guna hit up some of my friends and see if I can still play a smooth Marth

I dont get it either but here is not the place to talk about that
I'm not sure if this is true for Teamliquid as an organization, but the people frequenting the site (especially back in BW) seem to be a little bit elitist. I'm not judging because I'm definitely like that too, but what I'm saying is that the elitism comes from an (over?)appreciation of deep and complex games, and though LoL might qualify when observed in a vacuum, when compared to Dota it's just lacking in that department. That doesn't have to be a negative, as it puts the emphasis on other aspects of the game which are equally competitive, but for an elitist it's not as compelling.
SSBM however certainly qualifies (just watch the documentary), so it fits in with the Teamliquid image.
Oh, and I also think TL simply doesn't want to branch out too much, so they're being very selective.

Completely different animals. LoL is completely separate from SSBM in terms of entities. LoL isn't competing vs SSBM for a spot when diversifying because SSBM is a unique area all-together.

Well, yes but BoxeR is super humble. Ken is extremely arrogant. There is a reason why a big part of the Smash community disliked him. It was not because he won a lot of tournaments, it was because of his arrogance. This is also why he was casted onto Survivor, because his arrogance made good TV (and also got him voted out when he tried to ditch Matty and Bob very poorly)
Not trying to take away from this though, so hype about this!
This is nuts.... Liquid you got a winner here, more like two winners. I cant see from here on how any e-sports franchise can move forward without a melee division in their lineup...
First I played SC2, then quit for dota 2. Then teamliquid started a dota 2 team. Now I started playing smash and look what happens. Stalking much?!? Hooray!

So in other words the next game you choose decides the future of TL. Choose wisely.
I was just kinda like "whatever" but then I took time to watch the AMAZING "Smash Brothers" documentary and now I am SUPER excited about this. That documentary was sooooooo well done.

Seriously. It's a documentary that anybody whose interested in e-sports should watch.
So i started looking into ken a bit more and started watching the survivor series he's on. First time you see him properly he's with a hot chick in bra and panties. Then he gets her to eat a termite.
