Why it pays to be a member of Teamliquid: Reason #24152.
.
Today i received a bulk order of beta keys from the Blizzard ESports Team - thanks guys! (You can thank them here too
). Yikes! How do we give away so many? Well after cleaning our pantaloons, we gathered around the round table and broke the keys down into a few categories. Staff/Contributors [8 Keys]
These are the people who make Teamliquid run every day. Mods, coders, graphics guys, writers, liquipedia admins. Countless hours of work and i think you would agree that the least we could do is hook them up with a golden ticket.

Veterans [10 Keys]
There are some guys on this site who have been here from the beginning. What makes this community great isn't the games or threads, it's the people. While most of our veterans had keys from friends in the community (another great reason to stick around and build those connections!) we found a few who needed a helping hand. And a hand they received.

New Posters (Noobies!) [12 Keys]
As big of a reputation as we have of being unwelcoming and elitist, we (staff) feel this is mostly unwarranted. We just like to build a community based on strong posting and great contribution. I posted a thread asking who needed a beta key and as suspected, many of our newer users flew out of their lurking shadows. Rather than giving these coveted keys to just anyone, i went through everyone's posting history to seek a few who stood out for what we consider to be important standards or posting and discussion. Putting in some effort to your posts always reaps benefits kind of like these. Congrats guys, see you on bnet

Nomination [10 Keys]
We can't do everything, right? This is where you guys come in. We are looking for the the most worthy members, new or old who need a key. Please post your nomination only in this thread ( http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=119922 ), and we will select 10 lucky winners. Veterans - i would encourage you to look around for new/recent posters who stand out, but if there is an important oldschooler that we missed then send their name in too.
Eg vs Liquid` Show Match [5 Keys]

I don't even know where to begin with it, but if you have the skills then be sure to check it out
