Of course, one of the best parts of the TSL was the fact that anyone could participate. Even after the ladder stage, there were still contests to be won and glory to be claimed.
So, I am proud to present our TSL Liquibet winner, BreakEnter! He has been a member of TL.net since 2006 and has spammed the boards with one post per year. Hopefully this win will bring him out of hiding for his 2008 post.
BreakEnter won with an astonishing 68 out of a possible 78 points, winning by three over pangshai and fOrQQ. With those stats he should be betting at the track.
Top 10 TSL bettors:
1 68 BreakEnter
2 65 pangshai
3 65 fOrQQ
4 64 WingSandrockX
5 63 CVXRush
6 63 Crash[ny]
7 63 pjwin
8 63 Nessue
9 62 Metal[x]
10 62 MaTRiX[SiN]
And now a word from our winner:
1. Congratulations on winning the TSL Liquibet contest! Obviously this is a milestone in your life, how will you celebrate?
I’ll throw a huge party, I’ll make a tattoo on my arm saying ‘TSL S1 Liquibet Winner’, and I’ll be telling bed-time stories about it to my children and grandchildren. This monumental achievement needs to be remembered obviously.
2. You finished with 68 of a possible 78 points. Ever thought of moving to Vegas? What was your voting strategy?
Well I’ve been following the foreign scene closely for the last couple of years, I’ve watched a lot of replays so I was aware of the skill level. It turned out most people did what they were capable of and there weren’t really any surprises (yes I knew about Brat_Ok before the tsl). Everything seemed logical...i dunno 
3. You have been a member at TeamLiquid since 2006 and have made a grand total of... two posts. How closely do you follow the site? Do you watch much in the way of Korean games?
I visit tl.net many times a day even before I made my account, it’s probably my favorite website. I even ordered the T-shirt and I am willing to wear it in public :p. I watch a lot of VODs of the starleagues and the proleague. I watch most VODs of the top zergs and the recommended games. I don’t really post because I’m kinda lazy ;p.
4. What was the best part of the TSL? What would you like to see changed for next season?
The TSL was amazing from start to finish. Everything was excellent, however I’d like to point out that the art/graphics/lay out of the broadcasts/intros is what makes the TSL a truly unique event (that’s why it’s ‘made with balls’ ). I don’t see how you can improve something that was perfect and I am really looking forward to the next season.
5. Now for the moment we have all been waiting for. What icon would you like to have as your prize?
It didn’t even take me 2 seconds to figure it out:

So, congratulations again to BreakEnter who is now one of only 3 defilers on the TL site. Keep checking back over the next couple days as I will be drawing the names for the 3 Razer gaming surfaces.
Cheers,
Mani

BreakEnter!
too bad mani

Congrats man. Jumper]I[ and BreakEnter are both crazy ~100 post beasts.
And 68/78 is ridiculous. I like to point out that if one won every game you liquibetted correctly, You'd have a higher TvZ(?) win percentage than Oov in his prime.
|
7th! damn. congrats to the winner. 
|
congrats on the win, very nicely betted
|
mabye you can do it next time
|
i guess the defiler is gonna be the new icon of status
|
gj break enter :D should have went with the battle cruiser though
|
can you get a nexus icon? that'd be gg
|
Haha, awesome. It's nice to know the liquibet players are still present, even if they don't post. I've never seen half of those people.
|
Man, I was #2 liquibet until Iefnaij beat Draco
|
who are the other defiler posters?
|
The lurker icon is a pretty good idea, but defilers are just...imba

pretty sure you don't want the nuke icon
|
Haha gratz 3 post in 1.5 years is amazingly lazy 
|
hey! i was 9th!! too bad im not good at guessing for the proleague games
|
|
|
This might be a lame request, but can we somewhere check our x / 78 result? I'm really curious about where I would have finished, if I didn't go 0/12 in the finals / 3rd place match (Yeah I know I could count it manually on my LB page, but that'd be a hassle. Is there a more simple way?)

On the liquibet page, go to ranking, and filter it to "teamLiquid" which will show you the rankings for only those bets.
|
What were his two posts? Must have been pretty incredible for him to get off his lazy ass to do

Is the nuke icom a permaban, while the lock icon is a temp ban? I can never remember.
|
If you are "locked" down, you can still come back.
If you are nuked, you are fucked... (unless you are a BC, but that's another story...)
edit:
+ Show Spoiler +They should make it so that, if your race is Terran and you manage to get a BC, you are immune to bans O_O
|
But what if you're a BC, get locked down, shot at six times, and then nuked? What then?
I wonder what this list would have looked like if Draco had won.

Only me and Decaf share your Icon. Nvplatypus upgraded or something right?
PS- if you actually posted as much as me you could have one the old fashioned way because I started this account around the same time
|
Should have gone for the lurker icon due to the extreme lurking.
Congrats and hats off I wasnt even close.

I think the lurker icon is more suitable for a lurker like you, but congrats anyway
