EPT
This week we have something special. As you may know, TL.net was selected to participate in Blizzard's Sandlot Tournament, but we have no official logo. For the next two weeks, LiquiScoop is holding a TL.net Logo Contest! The selected logo's creator will have their art featured on TL.net's front page and will receive a custom user icon! Details on where and how to submit below.
Before we get started, a big thanks to IntoTheWow and Zooey aka dronebabo for their tireless and somewhat arousing help. Without them, LiquiScoop would not happen. Enjoy!
Week of 08/14/06 to 08/20/06 [001]
Notable Threads
- SandLot TL Logo by Jellycat
We will be accepting logo submissions until 09/11/06 in the offical submission thread. - WCG Documentary by The Storyteller
+ Show Spoiler +The documentary is a very interesting watch, even for those who have no previous knowledge of StarCraft or ProGaming (aka sheep). My roommate who does not play computer games found himself cheering for Xellos and FOru by the end of the video. Get the entire documentary here, on TL.net's Torrent Tracker.On July 30 2006 22:43 The Storyteller wrote:
Last year, I produced a documentary entitled "World Cyber Games" for the National Geographic Channel. I just wanted to let everyone know that it's starting to be broadcast around the world. I'm not sure exactly when it's going on air in the various territories, but I do know that it was recently shown in South Africa, and it should premier in Asia in September.
The documentary follows Seo Jihoon (Xellos) on his journey to the 2005 WCG Grand Finals. We document his progress through the WCG Korea National Finals, his training and his lifestyle.
The documentary includes never-before-seen sequences such as Xellos getting his brain tested (to see if pro gamers are physically different from normal human, much like athletes), Xellos hanging out with his mum (where we learn how he ended up as a pro gamer), and incredible footage of XELLOS ACTUALLY SMILING.
Also featured are Cho Gyu Nam (CJ team coach), Lee Jae Hoon (fOru) and Na Do Hyun (silent_control). Guillaume Patry (Grrr_ca) gets a whole segment to himself. You'll also catch glimpses of international gamers such as Legionnaire (really, really briefly), Androide, Blackman, and Fisheye. - The Testosterone Thread [NSFW] by lil.sis
+ Show Spoiler +Please note that while this thread is Not Safe For Work, containing plenty of nudity, gore, and profanity, it is quite possibly the only beacon of hope left for the true men in the vast ocean of "[R] Girl Advice" and "[H] My Vagina" threads. Be warned! Reading of this thread may cause hair growth and excessive heterosexuality.On August 19 2006 06:27 lil.sis wrote:

Funny Post of the Week
- Gene is going to Ithaca College, but he's just found out his roommate's gay! Naturally the first thing he thought of was the TL.net General Forum, where he asked for advice and words of encouragement in So I'm Going to College.... Surely he'd feel better after some reassurance from micronesia:

Whether or not he is gay doesn't say very much at all....most people assume that means he's flaming which isn't necessarily true.
Don't take this the wrong way but it reminds me of a story.....a friend of a friend had a gay roomate years ago in college...one day the guy is having unexplained problems with anal bleeding. Eventually he sets up a camera in his dorm secretly and discovers his roomate was drugging and raping him.
Probably won't happen to you though.
Forum Statistic of the Week
- All of these statistics are 100% true.
+ Show Spoiler +79% of TL.net Regulars find the acronym JLIG "ridiculously unfunny :'("
Adorably Bad English of the Week

LiquiScoop Fanmail of the Week
- Since this is our first week, we only had one letter submission!Dear LiquidScoop,Send your fanmail to liquid.scoop@gmail.com, where no subject is taboo.
I really love the new feature, as my party party lifestyle here in Argentina and my fulltime job of pimping underage girls to Danish giants does not allow me to check TL.net every day. I look forward to your reports each week! However, could you perhaps include more ninjas in your report? Perhaps... thousands of them?
Thank you very much for your time.
Sincerely,
Anonymous
We hope you enjoyed our first edition, see you next week!
