Yeah, I dunno, as long as I remember TL was always the place where you could just be a nerd and be accepted.
It's weird that I can go to work at a professional firm with a group of 60 year old businesmen and be accepted for having an interest in playing and watching competitive LoL and no one bats an eye, but the place where I felt safest in my love for games growing up kind of shuns it for no apparent reason.
Weird how the world has changed since I was like 13. Surreal almost.

Holy shit, TL getting own Heroes Of The Storm team? What kind of a joke is that, LOL. What is next?
Also about the skins... Shyvana is pretty fine but Reaper Soraka and Ultimate Skin for Sona? OH COME ON, no1 plays Sona anyways, even after the rework.

Lol C9 one of the first in heroes of the storm, somehow I'm not surprised the only thing that caught me off guard is that coast also wasn't in first.

Yeah, throwing together some random team isn't going to beat CA/Complexity/Coast.

yep, those teams + LoLPro are all strong enough to get in as it stands, and i've heard there are multiple other teams full of challenger players getting gaming houses to bootcamp for the tournament. lots of teams are going all-in for this, as it will likely be the last expansion (at least for some time... 2+ years?). i don't want to imply that i think a gaming house = instant success, but it does at least show a certain level of dedication that 5 thrown-together players probably wouldn't muster in such a short time (also, i don't want to discourage anyone who's considering going into the tournament either. definitely do it! just don't take it lightly)

EDIT: Like, do you think TL as an entity just gets players and lets the entire thing just run itself? Properly managing the team would require significant investment into staffing and maintaining the team, and nobody directly connected to TL as an organization actually has the knowhow to do this. Neo's pretty much the only TL staffer with enough direct connection to the scene to do any of the behind-the-scenes management for the team, and I'm pretty sure he has no interest in doing that.

I think TL taking up league would definitely increase hits and number of accounts on the forum. However with size comes a change in identity. Our subforum definitely has its own little culture and participants; it would most definitely lose some of the camaraderie and charm that it has at present with a more general opening. It'd probably be most analogous to the shift in forum culture from pre-SCII TL to its current form. I think the old timers probably have a better idea of what that was like and have a better idea of what importing thousands of forum users would probably do to this subforum (not to mention the rest of the board).
