I did click it all! I wanted to know where it would end up

Anyway:

Liquid was originally (and still is somewhat) a Starcraft clan started by Nazgul, Meat, Drone and maybe a few more (Spy, Oaral come to mind) in 2000 or so if memory serves me correctly. They had a really simple website before this one and it had a small following (I checked it sometimes for the simple forum they had and for Eri's hilarious rants). After this they decided to create a new website and that's this website. It pretty much became this website but very plain without all the features you have now. A bunch of people joined because it ha(s)(d) a nice layout, replay uploading etc.

At the start they started covering Korean leagues with the help of Mensrea and Waxangel and from there on Teamliquid was the best non-Korean news portal for Korean leagues and it has expanded ever since to grow to what it is today.

In 2003~2004 poker became interesting for Starcraft players and there were a bunch of people that started to play poker. Considering these starcraft players didn't have a poker community to discuss their hands or strategy, they used Teamliquid to talk poker. Nazgul and Meat added some affiliates so they could maybe earn some money on people signing up through their links and seeing a golden business opportunity at the start of the hype, they created Liquidpoker. Backed by Teamliquid's community, a lot of people flocked to Liquidpoker and started posting about poker there which lead to Liquidpoker's success in poker affiliating by people signing up through their deals with leading pokersites like Partypoker. That's also the reason that whenever poker is mentioned in the forums here, they automatically link to Liquidpoker which leads more people to Liquidpoker to try out poker .

That's pretty much everything about it.
