i have a 4 year old laptop that was far from top of the line at the time, it's perfectly fine for 1v1s

I think he meant to play in max settings. Since some tournaments require to play in max settings, so might as well have the players get used to that.

I love the Liquid weekly and I am looking forward to the once to come.
This weeks Fan-art is sick and will be hard to top.
But knowing the TL community there will be plenty of epic Artworks.

Fantastic writeups, these are some of the best interviews I've ever read! I think it's really interesting how oGs approaches competitive play, especially with that example about PvT.

Really pumped to see what Korea does to this game in the GSL!

Very nice work! The interview with TLAF-Liquid'Tyler was nicely done, and I liked the interview with Spunky as well. At first I was taken aback at a couple of the things that Spunky said (that he's very excited, but some of the oGs guys aren't the biggest fans of foreigners, for example), but after finishing the interview, I'm really happy that he told the truth and didn't sugar-coat anything. As he said, it's important for TeamLiquid to understand how progaming in Korea really is, not necessarily how we wish it was. I think that these undeniable truths will teach TLAF-Liquid' a lot in their time in Korea, not only about StarCraft 2 and gaming, but they will very likely become even more cultured in the process as well. On a side note, I think it is terribly, terribly awesome that oGs will be wearing TLAF-Liquid' on their jerseys and vice versa!

The stories from Legionnaire were also not only entertaining, but they were really nice examples of more of those undeniable truths about progaming in Korea. There certainly will be hardships and challenges to overcome, but it can and will be done, and TLAF-Liquid', no matter what happens, will always be happy with their choice to chase their dreams and take on some of the greatest challenges of their lives! And after all, when the time comes, they'll be rock stars.

Also, thank you for the VODs of TLAF-Liquid'TLO vs. NaDa! I've heard a lot of people saying that they were amazing games, so I'm really looking forward to seeing them. On another side note, that painting of TLO is really amazing - the artist has a lot of talent!

Please keep these write-ups coming (and maybe a video once in a while?) so that we can keep tabs and watch over our team as they live and train in Korea! These articles are awesome, and I always get excited when I see that a new one has been posted. To TLAF-Liquid': GL HF, and stay healthy and happy guys!

Always nice to hear what's happening with the home team! I really hope things go well over in Korea, not just for the sake of Nazgul, Jinro, TLO, and Haypro, but for the sake of Korean/Foreigner relations (and competition!) in SC2.

I think the statement was meant in relation to BW, which is what SC2 is essentially competing with in Korea. It may not seem like you need much to run SC2 when you compare it to some other modern games, but have you looked at the system requirements for SC1 lately? You need a 90mhz Pentium 1 with Windows 95. I could literally go over to my grandmother's house and load up BW on her junky, 10 year old, spyware-ridden HP desktop and play it with no problems.
