How to Use TeamLiquid

Before making an inquiry, please make an effort to see if you question has been answered before in the past. The best way is to use the search function, which you can find in the right side on the screen, half way down. By default it searches for thread titles, but you have the option of searching for thread content, along with other search criteria. If you want to know what kind of career Garimto has had in the past, a simple search for "Garimto" or perhaps his korean name of "Kim Dong Soo" will yield results for your viewing pleasure. (careful not to bump old threads unless necessary though!).

Unfortunately the search function does not handle 3 letter words such as pvp, pvz, OSL, MSL, and other potentially useful keywords. The reason for this is server resource limitations. However, for OSL/MSL, sometimes using the sponsor name such as "uzoo" or "shinhan" can yield good results. Also, the articles section has some nice summary threads on league results.

Another thing to keep in mind, is that the search function does indeed accomodate string searches such as "zealot rush" or "unit control". However, it cannot handle strings that contain word lengths of 3 or below, such as "pvp help".

Checking the "sort results by forum" can be very useful if you are looking for results in the broodwar section, but want to keep an eye for other threads that may have been somewhat misplaced.

Along the same lines, it is often worthwhile to check the first page of the appropriate section of interest. If making a thread about that Savior game that happened 2 days ago, just check the thread list in the broodwar and tournament sections beforehand. Maybe there's already a thread about the very topic you wanted to discuss. If not, go ahead and make the thread under the correct subforum, making sure to include ample information that will fuel the discussion that will ensue therafter.
