Then Dota2 got its own separate sister site, then Hearthstone, Smash, and now LoL and CS:GO. With the fragmentation, it feels like Teamliquid lost its soul. What was once a tightly knit community with great love for Starcraft is now a multigaming team like many others, a mere site network with shared general forums. At least that's my subjective feeling. except that there's a lot more games to enjoy other than SC2 - and due to the fact that SC2 has possibly the smallest scene atm in professional games (much smaller than LOL, DOTA2, Heartstone and CS:GO) and at the end of the day TL is also a business and they have to think about how to keeps thing alive and going well- their expansion makes only sense. The two things I am surprised are actually 1) why did they pick a US NA team vs a EU one (i feel there's more talent there overall in CS for sure) and 2) why they picked ex-denial which are a pretty good CS:GO team, but no top at all, they'll probably never place high in any international tournaments and even within NA there's many teams above them. To be honest when I saw mouseSpaz members leave I thought they were going to TL. Regardless, since I like TL I hope they can improve their game and step it up to compete better vs c9, mousespaz, IBP etc. within the NA scene. | ||

AWESOME  )) although i like ex-mousespaz (and honestly speaking they're very strong on NA atm) and i was hoping TL was picking em up. but oh well. good luck to the ex-denials and new TL ! I am pretty much in the same boat. I checked out csgo for a while after it was released but decided the game was too broken to be any fun and stuck with sc2 (as I was playing it since release). I pretty much can't take playing sc2 anymore since about right before blizzcon, it just feels so broken and the maps so stale. I have been pretty heavily back into playing csgo (ive been following the pro scene since the beginning) and it is great to see the steps valve has taken to not only fix the game (not completely fixed yet), but to create revenue streams via skins and stickers that have created awesome prize pools and a monetary incentive for organizations to get involved - a la teamliquid. 2015 Is going to be insane and it all starts with the MLG x-games starting in a little over a week. Wow, can't believe there will be a cs team sportin liquid blue. Insane. Also, can't wait for liquid stickers on all my favorite guns lol. Gonna be ridiculous. | ||

Sadly, Blizzard's attitude to the game doesn't seem to be changing. | ||

with that said, TL has THE BEST wiki ever. So if we can get a CS:GO wiki I think it can EASILY surpass HLTV in my opinion since that site has terrible design, terrible graphics and terrible user experience overall. If TL does a nice CS:GO wiki I can foresee people mostly getting updates from stuff there. | ||

Not to say that it won't happen, just that it isn't the obvious slam-dunk move. | ||

While Liquipedia unquestionably has the best SC2 contributors around by a wide wide margin, it's hard to guarantee that the userbase would contribute equally to a CSGO liquipedia. Not to say that it won't happen, just that it isn't the obvious slam-dunk move. Yea it isnt at all. However it does offer the capability of having such a wiki. LiquidAdren for example has some excellent guides on youtube. Would be cool if he could contribute to the wiki too (guides or something). | ||

Coincidentally, it's down right now. Maybe TL is trying to integrate it into liquipedia. | ||
