Which SC1 progamer is most likely to successfully convert into SC2 progaming? Do you think that SC2 'newcomers' will overcome SC1 progamers who converted to SC2 gaming?
And alternatively: Should Jaedong move to another team or continue trying to win Proleague with OZ? If he should stay, then which player possibly transferred to OZ would help him the most to win Proleague next time?

This spot actually goes to Stork, but it makes me infinitely happier to put some fat dummy on the list instead.
Let me break it down real easy: STORK SUCKS. Stork has sucked for AGES, but apparently only I had noticed. Stork's games the last few months have basically been nothing but a shitstorm of terrible games against Terran. Every game he either gets completely worked, or he does some retarded proxy robo carrier rush extreme dt bullshit that doesn't even work half the time, whether the terran scouts it or not. YOU SUCK STORK. I can't wait for him to get rolled in OSL (but not in MSL because he didn't qualify!) so I can actually drop him for real.
My question is: Why did you bash Stork so much? This isn't the only case. He is a top player after all, it's not like bashing some relatively bad pro gamer like HiyA. He didn't perform well, but he doesn't deserve this.
Alternative question: Why did NonY leave Korea? Real reasons not rumours.
If I'm able to make it, I may come to ventrilo and ask my questions. Otherwise, this is back-up.

TL is always known to take any good opportunity and make a great success into it (ie FS going to singapore, TSL Sponsor and etc). You guys have always done the best on getting the absolute best for the website.
But were there any 'missed opportunities' for tl? Maybe like you guys didn't sign some contract with a sponsor which you regret?
Yeah my wording sucks bite me

Do you feel any responsibility with the release of SC2 as the biggest SC community in the world, given the game is a success, will you cover it fully or still cover the korean scene if they(kespa) chose not to make the switch? Perhaps expand the site and make both a full blown SC section and one SC2 section? What are the plans?
Is Idra the best foreigner in history of SC, just talking pure skill rather than the length of his merit list?
3 part question a) Who is the most ACTIVE staff member on TL.net - ie the guy who does the most noticeable changes for TL.net?
b) Who is the "highest" ranked active admin/staff yet doesn't really do much for the site, IE who is the laziest staff member?
c) Who of the staff-members works the most, but that outside people never really notices that much?
---
Talk about your dreams for TL.net, what would you really like for Teamliquid.net to have one day or to become, manifesto talked about TL.net TV, is there anything else you think about or care to expand on?
Will teamliquid.net ever move on from the "fixed static 2002 template" and switch to a modern design template? Who makes the desicions regarding the sites design?
Why is Chill so inactive on strategy forum lately? Why is Chill so inactive on the fpvod department? Is chill the only canadian on staff?
With mobile devices providing internet on-the-go, users can be connected to TeamLiquid for 24/7, anywhere. Will you guys consider making an application on the iTouch/iPhone to surf TeamLiquid easier, or at least provide a good format to view the website?
Reading the latest Pony Express about Ban of the Week, Kennigit states that he taught how to not talk when interrogated. Also, he said that this wasn't hardcore enough for him in the military. I want to ask:
1. Could you provide a basic lesson on how to not talk in interrogation? 2. What is your current job?
Additional questions that didnt make the copy/paste
Does Dustin Browder read TL.net?
Is Fakesteve indeed in the top 3 terran minds outside of korea? Is he right when he claims that the imbalance of Protoss comes from early/midgame where they can do cheese strats and still come out on top or even, despite the cheese failing? I suggest the strategic forum moderator answers this question.
What rank is fakesteve on iccup?
What happend to Nony, he just left korea for "personal reasons" and was never seen again other than in some random tl.net threads, what really happend?
1) What is you guys honest opinion on Idra's behaviour as a programer? 2) When did you guys lose your virginity? or is there any of you who are still a virgin? 3) Can you guys describe lilsusie in 3 words? 4) What did you guys felt, when you banhammering someone? high? esctasy?
content depends on you guys, if you have anything you wanna know about TL or its staff members or SC in general from the guys who run this website post post post
3 Questions. How much do you interact with Blizzard and how much influence do you have on the development of SC2?
Since TL is a major SC community site Blizzard must listen to you in some way, but Blizzard is usually pretty tight, so what's the deal?
Also: If 2 people were to fight eachother (physically) at the Blizzcon meetup who would it be? If you want to be boring and politically correct you can include community members that aren't showing up.
Lastly: Kennigit, have you gotten your threesome yet?
Also to HotBid: You told me and a couple of other people you were willing to watch an anime series and let us know what you thought. People suggested Cowboy Bebop. Did that happen? Is that happening?
Also FakeSteve[TPR]: Why, in 500 words or less, did you sing 'Somewhere over the rainbow' in vent?
Carnac: Where did the name carnac come from?
Question for everyone except Carnac: Who is the last active person on tl that you would make a moderator?
Which genre of music inspires you to do well in BW or concentrate before a match? Try to be specific as in metal, death metal, Trance, rap etc. moving away from generic statements.
Most likely to find hidden treasure Most likely to enjoy a bad movie Most likely to drive a Bentley Most likely to wear a tie Most likely to have the most shoes Most likely to travel to Australia Most likely to find a quarter on the ground Most likely to build his own house Most likely to have twins Most likely to be a radio announcer Most likely to be a high school teacher Most likely to think of the most likely scenarios Most likely to grow the best garden (biggest cantaloupes, cucumbers, tomatoes, attract the most hummingbirds)
These are a few, feel free to make up some more in later posts, or during discussion.
Serious questions: 1. TSL2 - Is it even in the realm of possibility? (Pre-SC2) 2. Blizzcon - Any ideas/inside info on the complete foreign SC lineup for the Blizzcon Invitational?
Fun questions: 1. How much money would it take for you to disappear from TL and never visit again? 2. Who would win in a Man-off? Mani or Reach?
I look forward to meeting some of you at Blizzcon<3
1) The impromptu 'showmatches', like the recent Combat-ex- vs Chill, Artosis vs Rekrul games seem to draw in an absolutely huge audience. How does the TL staff feel about this? Do you prefer more 'organized' matches/tournaments, or is this the sort of thing you would like to see more of?
2) How much does the banhammer weigh and what sound does it make when it falls?
3) How many TL Staff members does it take to change a lightbulb?
4) Do you guys have any predictions surrounding the release (and subsequent effect on the games industry and SC community) of SC2? I don't mean the release date, but rather the effect it will have on the community; how long it will take before the transition from SC1 to SC2 takes place at a competitive level (both amateur and professional); whether you think it will completely replace SC1 in, and outside of, Korea or not.
5) Are any of you not looking forward to the release of SC2, for one reason or another?
1) What was the worst nerd-rage thing you've done when losing a match (since the day you put the starcraft original CD in a CD-Rom to play, meaning even before teamliquid if that's the case)? Please do not be embarrassed, we all grow and mature/learn from our mistakes, lets just discuss it for hilarity sake! 2) What's your favorite supplement (from drugs to types of energy drinks) that allows you to play non-stop (or did, in a certain case/one-time thing) at your top level?
Would you say that by defeating both Effort and Jaedong in Bo5s this MSL, that Calm has become the best ZvZer on earth? Or at least in series play? Or what do you guys think of Calm in general?
I'm currently unable to actually listen to the TL chat...is there any way this can be posted on the youtube channel after it's over (as in the other TL events)?

Should be recorded in some format or another, cause of the 25 min delay.

1) About Blizzcon: will you record and take photos of this conference room, especially during heat moments?
2) Do you think current quality of streams (I don't mean livestream.com now) is enough or do you hope it will get better? Do you think KESPA would cooperate in making like insane quality stream, even if people would have to pay?
3) When SC2 finally is released do you think Korean progamers will travel around the world like some W3 players (I remember Sea saying he would like to)?
4) For how many hours have you watched or played SC longest?
5) Do you have any stories that happened especially because you played SC and didn't notice / ignored something?
6) Kennigit: could you say something more about your military service?
WCG Finals are getting closer and closer. We all know that Koreans will most likely dominate again, but who from the foreign scene has a highest chance to be lets say in TOP 4? Idra, JF, DinoT, Mondi, Draco???? And why!
If you won a lottery ticket and had a million dollars, what would you do with it?
Mount Rushmore honors four U.S. presidents: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt. If yuo could add any person to Mount Rushmore, who would you add and why?
Fun questions: Which staff members play Protoss? If a tournament comprising of staff members only were to be played now, who would win? (Quarterfinals Bo3, Semifinals/finals Bo5)
Srs questions: Do you think people might create UMS games such that SC2 will be playable exactly as SC:BW with the exact units and all, just with different interface, smartcasting and AI? If yes, how popular do you expect it to be? + Show Spoiler [OSL Fantasy vs Jaedong] +
When do you think Fantasy will finally win a title?
Most underrated zerg? If you had one chance to move a player from eSTRO to any team of your choice, who and why?
You mentioned something about the casters that cast the most, also suck the most at actually playing. If you were a better player, do you feel it would increase the quality/add something more to your starcraft casting? What would change in your casting?
If you had to choose between surfing in typhoon waters or rock climbing drunk, and had to participate enthusiastically in said activity for three hours straight, which activity would you choose?
It was great but I think it would be better if everyone would have to post their questions to answer them more faster and avoid some...? It would postpone "what should we answer next" moment too imo...
Do you have any idea when you will do next one? In a week or two?
edit: maybe ask people to add bolded Question: in news thread to differentiate them from comments too?
I want to know what what each of you guys actually do for a living. (Except FakeSteve I suppose because I already know what he does)
I also want to know if any of you have met mensrea.
When is the next TL attack?
Where is legionnaire now? (what did he move onto do?)
Why is TL the best freeking website since internet conception and why everyone visits it first thing in the morning hahaha
More questions when I think of them
Edit - One for the article writers. I want to know how you guys write such awesome articles, and where one would begin if they wanted to write something like that. I mean the articles here are so well written.
Do you guys prepare articles in advance? Like for instance the finals between SKT and Oz, I know SKT was expected to win, but did you write one up for Oz in preparation incase they won?
EPT
Jaedong move to another team or continue trying to win Proleague with OZ? If he should stay, then which player possibly transferred to OZ would help him the most to win Proleague next time?
