I've been looking at those horses for a few minutes trying to figure out how they relate to anything going on at this site, but I still have no clue.

Someone please explain! :|

My theory is the fact that the horses symbolize Team Liquid. It's a team of horses that originate from water. The moving horses represent fluidity thus liquidity. Team Liquid woot.

TeamLiquid leader nickname is Nazgul. One of the Nazguls was killed by the river Bruinen near Rivendell, shaped as a pack of horses.



We really should make TL invitational or something xD

Wow those were remarkably uninformative threads. And the funny thing is that they have links to other uninformative threads. I think in this case nobody knows is a better answer than use search.

The horses symbolize that, despite our differences like nationality and sc race, horses can still run pretty fucking fast.

Those are in fact the real depiction of pack of Zerglings. Blizzard turned them all ugly and monster-like because people complained about the fact that the most beautiful unit of the game was so ridiculously dispensable.

^ best theory is above me, and horses is considered lucky if you hang a picture of it on the wall. Just look at how awesome TL is



I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a
