Hello TLers, I feel like I want to start a series of question forums with personal opinions of the answer from any and all of ya! So thus, I will officially begin my first question I wish to share, read, and mingle among us:
What is TL to you?
TL for me is a part of entity in my life that's irreplaceable that gives back to the community, contribute to one another and especially to me. It's like a mutual exchange, I put into something and I get something back. It's my friend, my lover, my snack, my food, my passion, my hobby, and most of all, my life. That is what TL is for me.
Now, what is TL to you? What do you think TL is for you? Any answer and input is welcomed as well as constructive feedback to one another! ^_^
|
My internet home, full of amazing people who do amazing things. And strangely enough, it may be the one place on the internet where I trust people to be genuine.
|
tl to me is an ultimate source for all my sc2 gaming needs. its also like family cause its nice to know other people out there care about the game as much as me. :D
|
TL feels like my internet home too lol. It's like the "standard" starting place for my browser, I barely even read much here anymore, post often, or play sc, but it's such a habit that's forced on me, haha. I almost always spend 10~ seconds scrolling through the left hand side to see cool threads pop up, or look in the closed threads section, then go somewhere else.
TL is the standard of my internet!
|
It's like a giant wall of chocolate obstructing my path to a successful college career.
I've been licking the wall away to try and get by, and I've licked a big enough hole to get by if I wanted to, but it's REALLY FUCKING GOOD CHOCOLATE so instead of continuing along my path I just lick the chocolate.

Where I spend most of my time on the internet (besides sc2). I love the korean pro scene and everything sc2. Its a place where I can find every sc2 tourney available, get great information on balance, unit control, and spread a bit of mine as well.
Also I love the blog section, some of them are funny some are sad, some are nuts and some just piss you off. Theres something for everyone here on TL. One of my best friends always makes fun of me for how much I use TL, and how I use it for everything.. The other day hes searching something for some game I dont remember which ( I think it was FFXIII) but google directed him here and from then on he started liking TL  .
I love TL because it connects me with sc players in a more mature way than you would meet any average gamer, through a ladder game? mk great.. gona stop talkin to u by tomorrow. But with TL, theres a bond that were all a part of something thats bigger than us. Its a community, and thats what I love about it.

edit
THE DAD I NEVER HAD, jk, but um.... It's the place that can keep me up till the crack of dawn+some. Its the place I go when I am tired of gaming vigorously. I come here and I read other thoughts, while inputting my own, although sometimes not completely logical, though thats just anyone the intarweb. Its the place where the poppies also bloom, not just flanders field.
Take me down to the very last homepage where the layout is blue, and no one can nerdrage. Take... me... hoooooome!
It's my online home.
|
It's a window through which I watch e-sports.
|
Been lurking forever. It's my #1 place for SC2 content... and that's what I'm all about right now.
|
A place where I can get the latest SC2 news (previously just BW) since this is the only SC-related site I visit frequently
edit: TL really does have the best content and coverage, so I have no reason to go anywhere else.
|
People are so good at sharing and discussing at this website, its just awesome.
|
TL is where I waste many hours, get general and SC news, and fall in love.
|
a place where clocks melt
|
TL is a place where:
1. I post random material, some for comedy some for instruction.
2. I receive mixed results over said material.
3. A place where I read said material.
TL is one of the only two high quality forums I have ever been on or heard of, and the only one publicly available.
|
Good place where you find news about esports and general stuff, i never used to surf webs, but TL changed me. I visit everyday just to see what's up even if i have only few minutes
|
It's crazy but because I have dyspraxia it's one of the easiest fora for me to read, because there is the perfect shade of blue that lets words stand out for me! It's a fairly enjoyable forum full of fairly intelligent people with a fairly wide range of interests and some funnies. A bit of everything. Has its retards and nooblets but it's not bad, better than a lot of conversation I get IRL.
And the MMA discussions completely rape Sherdog . And SC is clearly the manliest game ever.

the best moderated online community i am aware of. its the people that make teamliquid great, but its the mods/admins that keep it that way. i may not post much, but i enjoy reading every thread on these forums because i can be almost certain there has been some serious thought poured into it. or some rage. or both. or i was faster than the mods for once
|
My homepage for like, 7 years or something.

after sogamed (maybe a few will remember it. i was part of the staff there), died a few years ago, teamliquid is simply the best (starcraft/gaming)community around. it has a similar atmosphere sogamed had: oldschool, sophisticated (thanks to an awesome crew) and full of great content.

Came to leech VODs, stayed for the forumz.
|
I'm new here, been reading a lot on the SC2 strategy forums but haven't really made an account before now. Since I've started to go here it's become the most frequent website I go to! I just get the feeling that the people here have a common compassion about something and they want to defend their page from trolls and memes. I've think I've found the website I've been looking for where people actually contribute and have discussion on an intelligent level! Hope you guys take me in to your community :D
|
my homepage and the only forum i still use other than gotfrag.com (occasionally)
|
a sweet reminder that the gaming community isn't just 10 year olds jumping for the chance to cuss out strangers over their mic or 40 year old basement dwellers the likes of which are seen in S10 south park, but smart, witty, intelligent people who have a lot going for them other than starcraft but are all tied together by it
pretty beautiful, actually.

I lol'd IRL, but very correct aswell.
TL is my family.
|
A website that entertains me, from sick games to emo pussies with girl problems, attention seeking whores and sexually confused men pretending to be chics in hopes of scoring a few penis emails TL truly bring it all.
|
If you play starcraft this is the place to be. Simple as that. But what i like about TL most is the internationality. Every kind of people sums up in this place and everyones fine. Most of the time
And this site has such a stunning amount of really good content, its almost to good to be true.
Take the calendar. Pure awesomeness. The small vod thread is probably the nicest, best made thread with by far the greatest content in the history of the internet. Im serious.
|
its the light in the valley of darkness
|
A place for people to yell at each other about how every unit in every game is imbalanced, like a family.
I haven't been here long but I already love the community, easy access to sweet Starcraft action/info makes me smile.
|
It's a worldwide teaparty.
|
Where I consume my memes and watch sports with comrades.
|
TL is very i come for all my starcraft needs ;D best starcraft website ever made with good admins and community rdy to help ppl.
|
The best community I've found yet and it's where I always go. I spend more time on teamliquid than every other web page put together.
|
my family
|
A nice place to hang out and learn the views and standings of people from all over the world in an intelligent and well mannered (for the most part) way.

My post from another thread; but you get the idea:
Hey :-)!
I'm not really a friend of your harsh language here, but since you keep asking why we judge about the posters worthiness, I'll try to explain it.
First of all, we don't judge. There are certain people on Teamliquid that are known for high-quality posts, amazing passion and love for details. Those people - if they don't have a key already - really are deserving a Starcraft 2 Beta key, because they contributed a ton to the community, this family we all call Teamliquid. I myself am known on Teamliquid, probably because I'm playing for mTw but also because I wrote a lot of stuff and tried to help the community, Teamliquid as much as possible. In the past I wrote live reports about OSL/MSL/Proleague games.
When the WCG 2008 Grand Finals were in Cologne, mnm and I did organize a Teamliquid meeting where all the progamers (Jaedong, Stork, Luxury + Coach) came and had a party with us. It was a great evening, because people on Teamliquid treat other people / other members of Teamliquid like friends. We try to respect each other and argue (if we argue) on a certain level. This is not 4chan or another shitty site, where every douchebag can register and just insult others. Might also be the reason I don't really find your harsh language fitting.
You might have a low post count; thats why my honest opinion is NOT that you are "NOT DESERVING" a Beta Key, but its that you are not deserving to get a Beta Key via Teamliquid. I really don't have any problem with users that have low post counts, because everyone started having 0 posts, but if you want to make yourself a name and deserve a beta you, you have to contribute to this family which is in my opinion only found once in the internet.
Its like an e-Family :-)

TL to me is LIFE...without it i would have gone on a killing rampage long ago
|
It's like Facebook for me <3
|
|
|
The only site i visit that doesn't require extensive use of my penis.
|
It's the first place I go to when I'm bored or busy.
|
The website i always visit......
|
TL is a place that helped me mature most of all, and for that I am forever intimately bounded, at least from my perspective, with the community and the awesome people running the show.
It feels so natural to just open the browser and see the blue ponies, I really can't conceive ever leaving this place, despite being a low profile poster and a shameless non-contributor.

TL is a community that is an obelisk of StarCraft information. As well as news, and humorous pictures/videos and loads of entertainment which make my day better when college makes my life seem so dark!
<3 TL

This pretty much sums it up. TL is like my internet family. A tribe, if you will. You can be completely honest with them, and trust them (to an extent). I swear TL has helped raise me.

the reason I'm absolutely failing all my university courses. I hate how good this website is, why does such a damn good thing exist?! seriously pisses me off every day.
|
The best site evar!
also my homepage
|
The most recent place on the internet that i go to procrastinate. Good thing I have almost graduated from college!
Also, once SC2 comes out, or i get a beta key, the place where i go to learn about the game.
Also a very entertaining website!

A site where the most clever trolling occurs, where trolling is an art and not mere superficial entertainment for the individual, but often an elaborate scheme spanning over weeks, months, sometimes even years.
|
TL = best starcraft community
starcraft = best game ever
game = life

A place to troll asian nerds.

A good place to make myself feel better about my social life :D

way better than all those other shitty sc sites.
|
TL is brand new to me... I just joined a couple of weeks ago but it is already amazing. I've had more fun on this forum then any other website aside from MLIA... TL is also the place I come to for help when it comes to SC. If I ever have any questions or something about SC or SC2, I get to just look it up here ^^ Plus it is a great place for laughs like the NSFW Pics lol
|
The vortex that sucks me in.
|
When I say to my friends that I am 'surfing' on the internet, I really meant 'log on to TL.net'! The TL admins are the most active and the best ever!
|
Its an okay site
not great not bad.
|
TL is a place where i want to go if i feel like discussing not only anything sc1/sc2-related, but essentially anything, (as long as the mods dont ban the op/close the thread =P)
|
TL is the continuation of my refound love of starcraft. Started with Moletrap and the Violetak channel on youtube and just progressed to this amazing place. Guess all roads lead to TL
Now it's become my 3rd stop on the internet and one of my favourites!
|
A constant reminder of how shitty other forums are in comparison, whether Starcraft-related or not.
|
TL is the place where there is everything and everything is happening! Not only are there SC players, but random discussions about.... EVERYTHING!

Since the internet offers freedom of speech (+anonymity) in the most extreme degree, a great place like this has astronomically low chances of functioning if it were a democracy.
A curiously good lesson learned here is that in parenting/teaching/leadership/supervising etc., some times dictatorship works best, to everyone's interests

Good question. Actually, first I didn't want to write anything, since I'm heavily inactive in the forum. That's probably because there are just soooo many people and when I look at the threads I see between 50 and 5000 answers behind every topic, I wouldn't even wanna try to keep up with that^^ but actually TL, also without the forum, became really essentual for me in the past couple months.
I started playing SC around 99 I think and was part (and pretty active) of the Swiss community site "skilled.ch". At one point I stopped playing SC:BW for a long time, with a few comebacks every know and then. I have to add that i always sucked. I didn't have any idea about unit- strenghs, strategies and any of those important things. Sometime in 2008 I think, through my brother I started watching GomTV regularly and i started liking BW again. I didn't really play a lot, but I really enjoyed watching the pro- scene, of course also thanks to Tasteless. He always mentioned TL.net and after a couple broadcasts I visited the site, just for some minor things like maps and whatnot. It took a veeery long time until I figured out that there are a lot of streams on the site where I could watch games live. I also started watching and listening to Day[9] dailys on demand, just while playing WoW :s I learned a lot about strategy, mechanics etc. and I started playing again, following all the things I heard on streams or saw from pro- games.
I don't want to say I'm good now, but I really enjoy the game like never before, we also started having some SC:BW lans with family&friends. Also one reason why TL.net is so important to me is that I'm jobless for many months now and I'm on this site for a big part of the day (and especially night^^) watching almost every stream. I don't even know what I'd do for that whole time without this beautiful site.
So TL.net is not just some site to me, but a site that brought me back to my old favourite thing and has taken a big part in my daily life.
Thanks alot Team`Liquid :D
|
My blogs point out what it is.
edit:
Teamliquid is an escape from my fear of failure. I will often go here because it is not only easy and convenient to read and post, it is also relaxing. I do not fear that I will fail in any way. It is also a contributing, though not the primary factor for this fear.
It is in addition other things, but primarily teamliquid is the website where I most often escape to.
|
|
|
TL is cool, actually my 1st source of info for sc2
|
TL to me is really mainly a source of communication. im not very big on social type of like, partying or anything like that. im a pretty solitary person, but its nice to hear what others have to say every once in a while. and well... ive been playing starcraft since its release, so having that as a basis of discussion is always nice. its like talking to people about WoW. once you start talking about it, theres is no end in sight. i could go on for hours and hours talking about this game.

TL is where people work harder than everyone else without thinking about getting paid, where the community is smarter than everyone else while still being welcoming, where your image and status among others is truly a reflection of how much you give, not how much you have, where every type of viewer or player at any level of skill can find something interesting and helpful, and where cheating is treated like the crime it really is.
Its almost indescribable how the wide variety of talents, abilities, skills, and creativity of the myriad of posters at TL come together to produce interesting discussions, projects, tournaments, etc. simply for the benefit of others without thought of reward.
It is, for me, the best website on the Net.
|
A place that has an abundance of the many things that I like.
|
TL is a very active forum for discussion about common interests, where people can speak their minds with anonymity, and where we can laugh and be entertained, learn, explore and grow.
|
TL is a place where people help each other, regardless of the problem whether it is game related or not.
|
a place i keep on comming since quite a few years.
a place to meet people all over the world, including clashing cultures.
|
TL is so awesome that even the non-Starcraft related forums are fun and entertaining!
|
Team Liquid: The homework alternative.
Even if I didn't watch every PL/OSL/MSL game possible (based on school schedule), follow along with recent BW news, read winners interviews, play fantasy proleague, bet on and discuss lineups of PL matches through liquibet, read fantastic writeups and coverage of everything happening in the scene including games worth watching that I missed, or partake in and observe the myriad of contests and events going on all the time... TL would still be my favourite site. Of course, I do do all of those things so that just makes it all the more fucking awesome.

TL is my number one site. It is the first and last thing I check when beginning and concluding the day, respectively. When typing into my address bar, teamliquid.net has replaced tetrisfriends.com, which I also love to frequent.
TL is a place where I can find the most up-to-date news on progaming, watch streaming matches, read all the kooky threads that other forums would have, and post safely knowing that there is a benevolent (lulz) group of moderators and staff out there to watch over the place.
TL is my mafia home, as well as the place where I can pretend to know how to code when I make my LR OPs.
TL is one of the greatest sites in the world.
Vive la TL, seriously.

Don’t think I can top that, but I’ll give my own 2 cents.
TL to me is probably the best website ever, with the most mature online community I’ve ever seen. It keeps me up to date on all thing SC, whether it be e-sport or what unit is getting hit with the nerf hammer in sc2.
It is also a interconnected web of streams and awesome starcraft players. Where we can cheer for our favorite teams, and have deep (and occasionally not) discussions. Not to mention a place where good comedy can come from.
Oh, and incase you haven’t gleaned this knowledge yet, it’s where I spend way too much time then I should. But I cannot stand to be left out of the awesomeness.

Is where I get my beta key! :D
Haha, on a more serious note, I think I'm kind of addicted to TL. It was actually the whole non starcraft related stuff on this site that got me to sign up, then the whole pro-gaming hype that was generated just kind of rubbed off on me, so now I'm a fanboy myself! 
Cheers TL!

A habit or addiction. Whenever Im browsing, I tend to automatically go to TL just to lurk.

TL is:
My source of a spoilerfree way to view VODs of BW games
A place to discuss the latest imbalances and stratagies in SC2, with actual good players, instead of the b-net forums...
The forum I browse non-stop at work, reading blogs/general forum news threads
The place to read up on the latest Idra drama
The source of the amazing subs of Hyung-joon becomes a progamer and Nal'Ra's Oldboy series
Fantasy proleague + liquibet!
A great community where I can talk to others who like starcraft as much as (or more than) me
|
Well I am a bit different on the internet than in real life. I separate what I do on the internet from my real life. To me, TL is like the town in which I live in. The only difference is there is no need for buying stuff and its free, plus the majority of people are much more understanding of my lifestyle.

sc fun time when im all sc'ed out

TL is the only forum that is actually interesting

Its a cool site with interesting personalities and really good pro scene shit.
However I recommend taking these arguments and serious threads with a straw.
One time I copy-pasted arguments from several veterans out of severe procrastination and really bad drinking, who are highly respected around here, and their arguments got ripped apart and I got a C+ on them. These are university level professors btw.
I even double checked afterwards if I read it wrong, if it were the appropriate topic to write, they were being sarcastic, trolling or whatever.
They consistently defend their views, contradicted them in months' times, and sometimes forgot them. And one thread had the exact title of the topic I was writing on, and the veteran had a direct response to it.
Fuck it.
I'm not even gonna bother to mention who, considering their statuses, they'll probably be defended to death. But I'm never going to take them seriously again nor any topic, and just avoid "serious" blog or general threads altogether.
*Yes, yes I'm an idiot for being naive enough to use a forum for something academic, but considering their confidence on subject matters, long essays, and snide remarks, I couldn't help but try.

However I recommend taking these arguments and serious threads with a straw.
One time I copy-pasted arguments from several veterans out of severe procrastination and really bad drinking, who are highly respected around here, and their arguments got ripped apart and I got a C+ on them. These are university level professors btw.
I even double checked afterwards if I read it wrong, if it were the appropriate topic to write, they were being sarcastic, trolling or whatever.
They consistently defend their views, contradicted them in months' times, and sometimes forgot them. And one thread had the exact title of the topic I was writing on, and the veteran had a direct response to it.
Fuck it.
I'm not even gonna bother to mention who, considering their statuses, they'll probably be defended to death. But I'm never going to take them seriously again nor any topic, and just avoid "serious" blog or general threads altogether.
*Yes, yes I'm an idiot for being naive enough to use a forum for something academic, but considering their confidence on subject matters, long essays, and snide remarks, I couldn't help but try.
lol.
I don't even know what to say.
looooooool
edit: was it moltke?
edit: if you really think about it, a C+ is pretty good for a guy who just wrote down his ideas on an internet forum

First of all 'lol' and second of all if they had wrote it for the class instead of for tl they probably would have written it differently and gotten a higher grade.

The place where I spend all of my time browsing instead of other sites

I copy-pasted the legitimate ones, edited them into appropriate sentences.
The remarks the professors made was a core point of this particular poster, and the semantic of it, it was literally a handful of words.
Yes I know they're recreational individuals, who just post on the fly, but this is at the very core I'm talking about.
I spent like 5-7 hours researching on the topic too, and their remarks on certain historical individuals were false or biased, even interpretations One of them were particularly hateful enough to call the other an idiot for not agreeing with him, and that guy got banned for throwing a personal insult back.Its just..ech.
Not necessarily, that they're not intelligent, they probably could score higher, but their content, was innaccurate to say the least..on a very consistent basis.
The reason why I even scored that high of a c+ was because I regurgitated basic lecture notes and conversations with them. Everything else, from these posters, fundamentally off.

I call bs... you are probably misrepresenting this and or completely wrong... proof or it didn't happen. And if some veteran poster made some claims in some topic that were not correct enough to constitute the meat of a research paper then... so what?
BTW tell us which school you attend and what your name is so we can report you.

TL is the best place to discuss StarCraft and is the standard of quality in StarCraft discussions.
|
dont have to be so obvious about it micro
anyways if you had the skill to make false arguments sound good enough for a C+
why didn't you do the paper yourself? Clearly if you can make a F look like a C+ you can get at least a B

yeah im gonna call bs too. how do you spend 5-7 hours researching a topic and not realize that what you are turning in is completely historically inaccurate?

Hm, so now I'm left with a blackmail, a defense, and remark to be snide?
Considering I did something academically immoral,(for which I can get expelled for) I have very little reason to give out this information and considering detailed ip tracking and witchhunting that goes on this forum, especially identity tracking through facebook/e-mail searches and that manifesto7 search thread.
I'd rather risk getting penalized on this forum for speaking my mind.
Don't consider this an insult, its a very lighthearted remark.
I researched after I got the grade as a double check, I felt confident enough of these veterans beforehand.

There was no blackmail or defense. I'm not even sure which remark you considered snide but... we are simply going on the offensive vs your preposterous claims.... back them up if you want us to believe you.
If you do want a snide remark, then I'll suggest you don't copy paste your next response from another forum.

i pretty much just started coming here to watch beta livestreams, but i'll probably stick around to watch tournaments and day9dailies and stuff like that. i only post in the forums because i'm massively bored though.

Putting out my information with my school info, I can't really trust you now can I?
I was hoping it would turn into something humorous, but your real serious about this aren't you?
I mean what matters what I think? I'm completely nameless here, why be insecure about it?
I have no influence to convince anyone, but I find this discussion rather entertaining for reasons of my own.
I don't mean that in a hateful, cynical, or sarcastic way, but I'm just shocked by the way you come up and arms at it.
If you want to continue, PM me, I'd rather not clutter up.

Why don't you provide a link to a discussion that had you fooled? You don't have to name a specific poster. What's going to happen if you do? Nothing.

Basically a website where I get all my important news, great general threads (high thread, funny picture thread, that recent google maps thread.) Even though I've probably been banned over 20 times I still like the site and try my best to post good.
Oh yeah, also the MMA threads here own (the various UFC threads you see in the Sports and Games section.) The poster who makes those (don't know his name ) makes very detailed and organized OP's and I credit him for that.

Because he's clearly bullshitting and attention whoring, just ignore him.
Druj, its obvious you can identify the poster without giving away your real information. Either post the evidence or stop talking about it, consider this a warning.

How can we prove that he's full of crap if he refuses to provide any evidence whatsoever? What's better is that he can hide behind the fact that we don't believe him because we are somehow insecure.

do you realize how amazing it is that someone copy pastes random shit from our forums and it receives a passing grade at the university level
consult my profile for standard posting quality of the internet and be amazed, TL i'm so proud of you

TL is like the brother I would miss if I was missing my brother, it is like the warm tingly feeling I get when I walk inside after a snowball fight, it's like a parent providing loving advice, TL = the fuzziest friendliest kitten that curls up next to you at night.

druj have you considered maybe your professor is the one who's wrong?

TL for me was that 15 mins before shower 15 mins during lunch.
and the amazing football threads and rekrul blogs.

I actually really hope he posts the thread he's talking about (if it exists). It would be cool to see who's able to get a C+ in a university (law?) course even though he/she is just posting on TL. A C+ is actually pretty impressive for something written on the fly especially considering this is probably a college grading system. Unless of course druj goes to some shitty school where everybody gets A's and a C+ is a 'fail'.

My emotional pillow ;p
I've been lurking these boards and following the SC scene off and on for nearly a decade
|
tl's a great place where i've come to be entertained and feel less alone for like two years now. i dont even play starcraft but i got caught up in the scene and now i know way too much about it. its provided me insights into several cultures and subcultures i know nothing about and has wasted days upon days of my life in pleasant ways.

On topic:
I'll keep it simple: for me, TL is awesome.

Probably my #1 site to lurk around on.
This is proven by my post count.
|
The site I visit the most. Noumerous times a day for over 7years (I didnt joing right away). It used to be a place where the best BW players hung out and I guess it still kinda is, however it's so many people here now that It feels more crowded.
Also the progaming thingy have taken the fun down a bit for the last couple of years and in some way sc2 too. But hopefully sc2 will make it spin right back on top again.
Mostly I'm just old and bitter
|
TL is home. Despite what everyone says on my blogs or whoever knows my past as a clan killer, I still roam around the starcraft scene, still trying to fit in.
=]
|
Teamliquid is the number 1 SC related website for sure.
I have been checking this website everyday since 2004 and i have never felt disappointed about it. It's a source of information with many reliable sources.
You can find results, gossips (hi rekrul), interviews, match review, tournaments (tsl powa) and so on. Basically, it's the ultimate weapon with many little gems, hidden or not, that satisfies you even more (liquibet, liquibition, fantasy, liquipedia adn so).
There is a constant guarantee of quality that clearly makes the difference with other sites and mad props to the admins behind and in front the scene for that.
Teamliquid is a symbol, something i'am proud of even if i'am not a big part of it.
|
TL to me is where I go online more than anywhere else as an unskilled player I mainly only post in really exciting proleague matches, but I make sure to read most threads. TL to me is my gateway to the wonderful world of starcraft.

my homepage for 2years....world news manga updates...starcraft wut else do u need?

5%? That many?

A site I've read every day for several years, but almost never post on.

A forum that I've enjoyed for almost a year, only made an account a few days ago, but loving it even more since.

A forum that keeps me away from finishing homework. Fuck yeah.
