The problem isn't just that the hard work was wasted, but also that the grounds on which tlt was to be the best ladder aren't there any more. Without the advantage of a smart, well-designed ladder, it will be harder for them to arrive at a dominant ladder. This means a lot more people will be starting leagues, and TLT will have to work hard to be dominant.

Better safe than shitty.

Edit: After reading the SC Leagues BS, I still appreciate the work and thought put in to TLT3.

making this (imo right) decision so fast just proves again the amount of respect that TL deserves as a great and serious site.

Really.

This is very disappointing. I'm sure it is at least 10x more diappointing for those of you that worked on it.

Thanks for all of your hard work.

I feel really bad that the wind got taken out fo your sails on this one TLTour team. I dont think you can blame Blizzard particularly for this due to their "when its done" and deathly secret attitude to announcements. Either way, good decision on delaying this till its ready

Actually I'm kind of happy. Finals is over this week so I will be able to add a tournament system like battlereports directly into the TLTour now!! :D

Agree wholeheartedly with the decision, Mani. It's threads like this that remind us Team Liquid is synonymous with Quality Control.

"404 Object Not Found"

Another 6 months until 1.15 comes out

Maybe now that TLTour is delayed, we can see some of the things that were coming out in the first and second season earlier, such as 2v2, statistics by matchup, etc.

TLT's facility is still stronger, we can setup Hamachi based games via Quickmatch with chat facility. Also within battle.net itself you can check your stats via our bot. If they are using BWL there are still working map hacks on it. Ours has no such withdraw, We still hold the upper hands. In addtion we can host in all 4 gateways at once within b.net realms and also private server if we ever go there.

By the way pheer till now has coded nothing, Peter kicked him out. And LordMartin is also one of the lead developers.

Why are there complete idiots here saying Blizzard hates SC?

Blizzard just made a kit that any website can use to create their own ladder. Now we no longer need to spend all the effort to create our own launchers and find ways to report games automatically. This is a tremendous gift to the community. We should be thanking them for making this awesome service available to us!

The only thing to be upset over is the fact that they didn't warn us sooner that they would be releasing such a service. But besides that, it's obvious they are doing something great for the community. People too stupid to see this should be smacked in the face.

omg. Something awesome comes along and then a freakin patch comes out. How coincidental is it that tltour is launched and blizzard releases new patch? T.T

No coincidental, but this new tool of Blizzard can help WGTour a lot. You bet.
