Welcome to LiquiScoop, the #1 weekly newsletter for everything that goes on in the Teamliquid.net forums! Here you'll find notable threads, notable posters, and some fun original content as well.
A big thanks to IntoTheWow and dronebabo for their tireless help, as well as Oxy and Smurg who do all the great photoshop work for us. Without them, LiquiScoop would not happen. Enjoy!
It's Purge Week at the forums! In other words, less shitty posters, more bans. For those that haven't been keeping score, this week there have been 24 users banned with a combined 11957 posts. Week of 11/06/06 to 11/12/06 [013]
This week's honor goes to Twisted, who banned 7 users who had a combined 7739 posts. Beyonder was a close second with 7 users for 2234 posts, including finally being the one to get Dark]N[exus. Another notable ban was PaSsionPinK, whooh was taken out by Rekrul. The bloodbath continues in the Automated Ban List.

If so, how did you become strong enough to withstand the high gravity (10x of Earth) on King Kai's planet? Also, how does Gregory withstand it as well? Crazy little bug that can fly very fast like it is nothing on that planet. . . . o_O

- Less emphasis on "funny" & "comic" when it comes to thread mention.. maybe we start seeing more serious threads, replies & need less banning. - Rekrul deserved better card.
At this rate, we'll be able to play the TL.net card game in a year or so, hm? Where are the land/mana cards? The progamers (they better be good too, considering how many cards cripple them)? T_T
It would be even more incredibly awesome if someone could get up a thread with all of the cards so they'd be all in one place. They're 40 KB a pop, though, so hopefully that wouldn't get to be a problem even were there an eventual 100+ cards.

Yes, I think it's a relatively recent WCG picture from Monza, the complement to the check-stealing picture.
I was about to say the same thing. I just read it. The Sea and Boxer updates I missed. I personally already read the Boxer one a long time ago, but the Sea article is very very nice.
Plus I have a strong gut feeling that we may see Canata vs Sea again on SuperFight for a one gamer. The two are 1-1 right now and the Story on SenseofStar is fun.
Must agree with Physician Rek deserved a better card. But as always very entertaining :D Liquid scoop is the perfect start of my day at work, now i just have 6 hours more to kill. Thank you TL.net, loove you <3
Great news as always, enjoying MDT and the cool pictures. Seems odd to me that you appreciate the post of Coagulation while banning him. Either he contributes or he doesn't. But there again, I didn't see the incident that got him banned so whatever, I'll assume Mods had a damn good reason. Probably not as afraid of Twisted as I ought to be. He gets angry and argues well, but generally not against me. Quite curious about why people get banned, could Mods start giving a short reason in the ban list?

Oh the card imagery and description is very fitting; it is the points that are weak. The Rekrul card, given the imagery of the reaper and the all or nothing, in your face style, deserves a higher rank in the deck. You got short handed in the game.
Dude physician rekrul card is very strong. It does cost alot of mana though.
in MTG it would be like
9B 8/5 At the begining of your upkeep, destroy target creature, enchantment, or instant*, and put a -2/-2 counter on target legend (but in our case legends make up like 1/3 of the cards lol).
*(are posts suposed to be the equivalent of instants? this would be illegal but o well).
id say this is pretty strong card but I wouldnt want something that cost 10 mana. This could be very strong in a bury deck though.
