What's the holiday season without some TL-events? Where other people sit around the fireplace, warming their hands on some hot choco, we nerds bask in the comforting glow of our monitors. Who needs carols when you can listen to Marines dying? Who needs eggnog when you can have cheese? Who needs sledding in the snow when you can play some SC with your TL buddies? Check out below what we have in store.

On the 3rd of January (22:00 CET, 16:00 EST, 13:00 PST) we'll be doing a TeamLiquid Arena Xmas Special! What's Special about it? We'll be playing in Team Melee style!
Christmas is a time of getting together with friends and family. The more the merrier right? So hook up with a friend in and post in this topic listing: the race you two (or three) will be playing and links to your accounts that ended C+ or lower in the last season with a minimium of 50 games.
The Hero of the evening is ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/Ticon_small.png) ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tsld/images/flags/ca.png) Aerials!

I'll be going through the Small VOD thread to find the best, worst, funniest and most inventive cheeses of 2009. On New Year's Eve, they will be compiled into a nice orderly list for everyone to enjoy!
Of course Liquipedia is joining in with the festivities as well.
First of all - check out our new logo!
Secondly, Slugbreath wrote an article on The 12 Days of Starcraft. I bet most of you thought it was just a song. Think again - it's actually a Blizzard-made UMS map (download here!) that should be a nice addition to your holiday activities
And last but not least, Liquipedia is keeping up with everything going on in TSL2, most recently updating the page for the Round of 48. Sadly enough though, most of these top players don't have a page yet (most notably so Brat_ok). We're always looking for people to join us in the effort of getting these up and going. If you're up for it, visit us on IRC sometime - we're a jolly bunch
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Yaaaaiiiyyy!! (haven't read anything just posting cus anything TL posts is gooold)
Read it... and can't wait!

Good Job

Holy shit, team melee vs 2 D+ players who coordinate AT ALL is like playing a B player... Aerials is going to lose at least half his games. Have you people forgotten about the team melee team in TL.net attack which was 3 D+ players who raped multiple foreign stars with zerg? Team melee teams have perfect macro and perfect awareness of everything that is happening on the map.
And PS, who is commentating?

Hehe I would hardly call Chava, Intrigue, and Rage D+, they were at minimum C level players (even higher in specific matchups) with good game knowledge.

sounds like u made it too complicated about the hero rules, why not just say play with 1 hand to him? xd or drunk aerials against 2 c+ zergs with some cool commentary sounds like a fun event to me
