Starcraft Community “World Champion” YGOSU vs The Top Foreign Community Team Liquid!
At the 2006 Blizzcon, there was a world championship of Starcraft community websites called “Sandlot.” In this match, In_Dove and S2[fOu] of SKT represented YGOSU (then known as YGClan) and played a huge role and eventually defeated GosuGamers 3-2 in the finals. YGOSU will play against the Team Liquid on Saturday the 6th and 4:00 PM. YGOSU member Hell[fOu] will be the coach of the team that represents YGOSU. This lineup includes progamers Eun[fOu] (STX), Choya[KaL] (CJ), and 1a2a3a[fOu] (aka Terror[fOu] of STX). Notable names representing Team Liquid are WCG Canada’s Testie and the Nazgul, who used to be a progamer in Korea.
Regarding the match, coach Hell[fOu] confidently said “Firstly, I have never thought that we will lose this friendly. As long as the players play as usual I am confident that a 7-0 is very possible. However, there is a law that not everything will go to plan. Who knows, maybe a robber could break into one of the homes or perhaps the deliveryman will come and ask for confirmation of the receipt. In this case then we will win 6-1 or 5-2.”
This friendly showmatch was made possible because staff members from both sides met at Blizzcon 2008 and agreed to this arrangement. This match surpasses a mere friendly but shows how the interactions between various community sites can be improved and built upon. However, this is still a competition and YGOSU staff expects YGOSU to win handily.
Will YGOSU be able to protect Korea’s Starcraft pride and play like champions?
This showmatch will be a best of 7 matches, but regardless of the score all 7 matches will be played out. Also, Team Liquid will be broadcasting this live at their site.
perhaps something got lost in translation....? i can imagine the conversation went something like this:
"how does a community match where the average skill level is around B sound?" "great!" *TL announces lineup* *YGOSU announces lineup* "wait, didn't you say around B level?" "yeah, as in B-team progamers" "T_T"

we could have a lag free stream, great casters, and an compelling showmatch with a huge korean fansite, and you will still find something to complain about. i guess there's just no pleasing some people.

actually, quite the opposite, i think it's pretty clear he's weaker than everyone we have in our lineup.

Anyone know what the comments over there are like? they are all confident in YG winning this i assume?
If Cloud beats Terror[fou] I'm gonna shit my pants.

Lol as scary as their line-up may be this actually made the matches a looooooooooooot more interesting. haven't been this excited since Sandlot.
For TL to even remotely have a chance of taking a game....i don't know, really deps on how much these guys have been preparing. Then again, we do know a lot more about some of their players than they do about us. Win or lose I hope we've prepared some sexy builds : )
Kinda unfair they knew our lineup far in advance but I have high hopes for our 2v2. The 3vs3 can really be a wildcard depending on what Testie spawn with but I have faith in our team : D
right now we only have 2 mercs (people that never post here), so we should bump it up to 4 or 6 mercs so we have a chance to represent the TL community, I mean why use regulars and moderators at all right?

mm? 2pac is a lurker around here and has been a lurker since 06 infernal is also posting a lot on TL these days
wow, even though their lu kinda scares me, im looking forward to seeing this match even more now
this is gonna be really good guys, no matter the outcome.. feels strange that TL seems like the underdog for once, usually we are the ballers (and still are!) :D

I saw the 2pacalypse ID and started cracking up, good job jeff lololol. I've obed hell[fou] a handful of games, his tvp is really good. Clide[white] is the ID that 2-0ed iefnaij zvp using cheese on iccup. Might not have been him though.

Jesus. I feel like I'm at sc2gg, preparing for the TL match.
Just be the mighty 300, give a good fight but be slaughtered none the less, and as for the Leonidas yelling thing, umm just make a group decision to type everything in caps during your games.
YG: A thousand fanboys of the Korean empire descend upon you. Our carriers will blot out the sun! TL: Then we will fight with our hacks.
Oh man, it's way too early in the morning to try and be funny.

let me tell you we here at TL are extremely offended and can't believe YG would take it to such an extreme level of trash talk, it's completely unnecessary and sparks huge hate and animosity between the sites. I can't believe they'd do this, they need to apologize to the starcraft community.
p.s. - FYI I'm ignoring this thread now so I won't be seeing any of the responses.

Yeah seriously this is how it's done. I am so glad they brought out the trash talk. Only too bad the guy won't be on stream.

Yeah really, their trash talk is really TL-esque. I'm pretty excited for this already. Too bad they won't have an english commentator to counter ours though?
i wonder how many people voted for YGOSU to win and how many people voted for TL to win O.O this is crazy nice trash talk by YG, i believe that YG is going to win this but i will be rooting for TL :D if YG wins 7-0 i wanna see the guy spam 7-0 XD or TL :D

Update: Due to router problems, Nazgul cannot play in games with more than 2 people in it. Unfortunately Nazgul will be unable to play in the 2v2. As a result, Testie will be taking Nazgul's place in the 2v2.
