Zomg pure win right here, though I know all this stuff already it took me a long mother fucking time to figure it out the first time. I knew I could watch live SC like 6 months before I finally really put my mind to it. Plexa great job man I am sure this will help thousands of noobs now and down the road you truly are an Advocate of the Noob (complimentary of course).

Three cheers for Plexa!

I stand corrected--didn't expect it to be so deep. I think that for something as character driven as SC that sort of thing would be emphasized more. I'm more interested in write-ups like that than how the survivor round of the MSL works (although that info is welcome too--great job to everyone who wrote these up).

Plus, that list is not exactly up-to-date...Not trying to nitpick, but I think this would really be an awesome addition.

Maybe something integrated with the database on TL--like, imagine a timeline that tracks players and as they perform better (kespa rank maybe) their line gets bigger...hmm, my explanation seems very poor.

Quick question: Does a progamer have to stick to 1 race or can they switch around throughout a league/tournament? For example, a progamer that only plays ZvP TvZ and PvT. I'm guessing the answer is no but i just want to make sure.

A progamer can play any race they want. The only limitation is that they must inform whoever the host of the event at least 1 week before the match. Off-racing (ala Savior vs Gorush) or race picking is strongly discouraged in proteam houses because of the extra work you need to do on those matchups.

I'm sure this will be a very useful response, well done to everyone who put it together. I also second a brief Tl.net history, it would be a nice idea.

How about playing Random?

Does the player just say "Hey, I will be playing random" and then when the match comes, he picks Random?

Imagine the pressure on your opponent if you were really good at all races.

Random: *yawn* Zerg..., guess I'll do 3-hatch
Protoss: $%^& wtf am I fighting against?!

Protoss player gets really paranoid and sends 3 probes to scout 3 starting positions immediately...

That's why I always wanted to play random. The problem is that it's really hard to practice nine matchups and be good in all of them. Plus, most people won't play against you if you're random.
