This is just a small update to announce a few staff additions and reward some of our best contributing posters. We are constantly looking to improve here at TeamLiquid, and these following people have all helped make that a reality.
New Staff
KizZBG - This fine gentleman has been helping out by digging up fighterforum pics for the live report threads for ages. In addition, he has entertained and decorated with his great photoshops. Now, KizZBG will head up TeamLiquid's very own custom art team. Other members of the team will include alffla, suffeli, and XeoFreestyler. Hopefully this team can continue to produce the great work we have come to enjoy.
thedeadhaji - If you don't know this guy, you have been living under a rock for the past year. He is our Travian champion, but more importantly has been at the forefront for distributing VODs to the community. His massive live reporting has led to an imba post chart and he is constantly adding value to the forum. Haji will be helping to make many of our drawing board plans reality, as well as creating an immense statistical database for progaming.
Seven Stars
As Saro announced previously, posters of high quality will be shown recognition with a star beside their names. I would like to introduce the next seven stars:
Violetak - For tirelessly maintaining the Starcraft YouTube group and helping to make games availible to those who cannot use other technology.
HnR)Insane - For hosting the bot on battle.net and just being an all around super guy.
pheer - thedeadhaji's partner in crime, it iis pheer's server which has allowed haji to host all the VODs in his [VODs4U] threads.
ilovecats - Cats, aka toptalent, is simply a great member of the community. By setting up sc2.org, he has allowed hundreds to watch live starcraft. A true titan in the community, he deserves a constelation.
My_Digital_Toss - We haven't seen much from MDT lately. However, in his time at TeamLiquid he has posted 160 times. 122 of those times have been new threads sharing bits of the BW world that we outside Korea cannot find. I hope for his return soon, because he is a true hero.
Kennigit - One of our enthusiastic new VOD uploaders, Kennigit does so much more. He is working hard with Haji on the statistical database, and is always willing to spend his time helping out.
mnm - It is not an exageration to say that mnm brought a face to TL. Her Gallery thread here is simply awesome. In addition, she never fails to bring us WCG news, as well as helping out on TL projects.
So, if you see these fine folk, give them a pat on the back for their hard work. They are models that we can all strive to emulate.
Stay tuned to TL for more updates in the near future. We are on the cusp of something great...
when am I receiving a football icon for football threads??? jk
out of the 7 stars, the one I rate the highest is My_Digital_toss followed by toptalent. I will never forget the time he and the other guy (really sorry forgot his name) uploaded 60mb VODs in that starleauge boxer faced oov in the final!
and out of the new staffs haji is the one I recognize the most when looking for threads, I've seen kizzbg too obviously, but haji draws more attention.
Thanks Mani, it would be fun to work in the graphics team. Good choices on the rest, it's really good to see more and more people contributing to TL.net

You're thinking Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars :D
Thanks for all the hard work to the new and old staff. It really makes following SC fun and easy. BTW- Wifebeater who posts so many vids on youtube- does he post here as well?
