The best play could be an interesting build or tactic, a cute move, or any number of things. Suffice it to say we'll know it when we see it, as shown by the winners of season 1: -4 Hatch Zergling break -DWeb rush -Leaving a game -Playing a great game vs Xiaozi -Playing a great game vs Dreiven
How To Watch
A news post will be made prior to the stream going live which will include details on how to watch live in VLC or WMM. VODs and Replays will be released after the event is complete. If you are familiar with watching the TSL, watching TLA will be just as simple.
How To Play
We are using a new system. Instead of using Battle.net for the selection process, we will be using IRC. Connect to #TLAttack on irc.quakenet.org. If you don't have an IRC client handy, use our web-based Java IRC. After each game, we will go back to IRC. ToT)ClouD will pick an opponent based on his cute ID, funny comments, or arrogant attitude. We will whisper that player the password to the game we are in on USWest!
Chaos Launcher
If you want to participate, you should have Chaos Launcher enabled. Install it, tick the box next to "Latency Changer" and then launch StarCraft from within Chaos Launcher.
ICC Launcher is NOT Chaos Launcher ADVLoader is NOT Chaos Launcher Ensure you have Latency Changer enabled in Chaos Launcher!

Just 1, Cloud lost pvp on Python, 15min game. Cloud tried straight tech to DTs. DT got around 7 kills but wasn't enough. As a result, Cancerboy got expo much earlier and forced Cloud to cancel his own. Cloud amazingly managed to break out from a contain and push Cancerboy back to his natural. Cloud then managed a nice storm drop and killed ~15 probes. However, this wasn't enough though and stable macro from Cancerboy forced Cloud to gg.
cloud is playing amazing against the TM team. while mani and chill were messing around, he zealots into the nat, attack the hydras in the middle, AND storms the main.
Are people seriously not commenting on this thread? I'm not going to make a thread on Mani's behalf but I sent him a pm because I feel like that's not a banable offense.
Anyways, whoever the FPVOD spelled cookies spelled eats wrong. And that was amazing defense by Cloud.
Damn, woke up too late again. It's times like this that living in Asia really sucks. Are you sure you guys don't want to do this at 2 am (your time) to make my life easier...? + Show Spoiler +
If you make it 3 am Hillary could watch, since she isn't busy anymore.
LMAO. Fucking hilarious episode. Some highlughts form the top of my head: Cancerboy. Cloud somehow pushing Cancerboy back to his nat, gets some nice storms out. Cancerboy beating him nonetheless. Chill uses his status as a mod on the strategy forums on job applications. All 3 blissfully failing to mention that FF8 is in fact the best of them all. Mario RPG awesomeness. Cookieholocaust deniers. Saying a fake password outloud even though we can see you guys type it live...

Personally i think this was one of the poorer team liquid attacks. i understand people are letting loose after Razer TSL but would of helped to keep a slight level of professionalism.
Might of been enjoyable for the commentators but not so much for the end viewer.
Also given how low res the SC screen is to begin with do we really need the top banner telling us Cloud V Smurf taking up valuable space? Whats the point?
Anyway just some feed back / gripes hope you dont take it personally. But that show was a step back in some aspects imho.
i hope its just for that one episode, because i couldnt feel immersed in it (as the number of posts in this thread might suggest). with bnet, i was more familiar with the environment, and it felt more like battle.net attack, which this show was modeled after.
with IRC, which i dont use, i didnt know what was going on, and it felt more like its pandering more for that group. then theres mani and chill commanding those DTs and even playing in that 3v3. as entertaining as that was, it didnt highlight cloud, and there was too much going on for there to be any real focus
