Yes I believe it was cause everyone was all frantic that the countdown would just be April Fool's (cause I think it ended/was announced on the 31st or 1st?)

The most awesome thing ever would be a SC2 tournament with everyone only having like 2 days to play around with the game. It'd make it so you're using your own strategies instead of ones other people thought of and that you have to use in order to be able to compete.
A link to the stream[s] will be posted shortly before the action begins, on May 10th. There is a timer counting down to the action at the top of the page.
hot_bids sig says: TL is seeking high level players for SC2 beta testing, please submit to me a brief essay detailing your qualifications.
doubt it is imo,
That's not for the countdown, but I didn't notice his sig before, thanks! I wonder if he'll take me although I'm not exactly "high level". Worth a shot though, right?
I'm placing my bets on TL attack season 3, since every time TSL is mentioned, everyone speaks like they cut off at least one of their legs to make it happen.

:O He's banned now! Is it cause of this?!
Yeah, the ban said "don't abuse your position of trust" or whatever.
Makes me think this has something to do with the ASL thing, in which Artosis was the only one to have been told the inner workings/sponsors of or whatever.

Man, Savior's "I will destroy everyone ok ? in 2009" is legendary. And if I recall correctly, Savior has agreed to do a TL attack some day, so I don't know.

in all seriousness, considering that the timer hits zero an hour b4 proleague starts, i'm going to guess that it's the next liquibet season. or just the start of fantasy proleague

I'm so tired of countdowns that lead to letdowns. I can't remember the last time there was a SC/TL countdown that actually produced something amazing.
Um... TSL Season 1 wasn't amazing??
TSL2 IMO. I can't think of anything else they would do this for. If it's true, if it is TSL2, this is a very exciting time for us all.
I guess it also makes perfect sense that it might be TSL #2 because didn't TSL start around now I believe? I remember very very scarcely when I started playing starcraft that I watched the TSL and GomTV Finals roughly around the same time
Hmmm... assuming that Fantasy PL signups end 1 hour before it starts, it would be the most probable assumption. Of course, TL probably has the balls to start countdown on april 1st, have it end when fantasy PL signups end, and then announce TSL2, so you never know...
yeah if not TSL 2 or something equally amazing i'll probably slit my wrists and write "teamliquid killed me with disappointment" in blood on my wall before dying in the hallway of my college dorm. Get ready for some negative press if I am not pleased.

Day and tasteless are going to start a starcraft training program. Those interested should pm their gaming resume and a VERY BRIEF statement of purpose/goals before the 9th. Already more then a handfull of 'insiders' have signed up.

The player OneOther is also giving free lessons as a part of this. Me and a few others sent him our resumes and a couple of us have already been accepted for training.

Yeah, it makes a lot of sense to count down until one hour before the new proleague round starts. Just in case you forget when one hour before the new round is, there is a convenient timer to let you know. So no worries, you will always be aware of how long it is until one hour before the new PL round! Thanks TeamLiquid!
Kind of odd that it counts to 13:00 KST and not 14:00 KST, the time PL Round 4 is said to start on the TL Calendar. Either mis-calculation (which I HIGHLY doubt cause the staff is very intelligent), there will be some special thing planned, or it's just 1 hour early.

Well, Liquibets always close before the start of the game (usually 1 hour), so I don't see how that would be odd?

the fact that it says fantasy PL round 4 is kinda a dead giveaway unfortunately unless that is simply another trick so we are all surprised when it is TSL2

Did not think about that cause I don't Liquibet.
Well to everyone else if you didn't notice, it does say "...until Fantasy PL Round 4!"

Yeah I know. I can't believe so many people were all thinking it was TSL2 and I bet the mods saw and didn't want anyone to be letdown, so they added the reason.

oh, that wasnt there before. I hope that is a trick because it doesnt warrant a counter down timer.

mh if its really only about fantasy pl round 4 thats kinda disappointing... I mean everyone knew that round 4 was gonna come and when you see that countdown, you at first think it's something new, somewhat of a surprise, not something you know is coming anyways...

Someone suggested "why so serious".. Since it's obviously not going to be a disappointment yet that is just too good too ignore, they have done this.. That's my guess :D
