Liquibition is back after a brief break over Christmas. In Liquibition #25 IefNaij continued his tyrannical run and defeated MYM.DinOt 4-3. IefNaij has now won three Liquibitions in a row (vs ret, Brat_OK and DinOt) and will be trying to match ElkY's record of four straight wins in Liquibition this weekend. As a result of his streak he has won a cool $200 so far, with another $100 up for grabs this weekend.

Special Liquibitions
Xmas Special - Twisted 4-3 Drone December 28, 2008
Terran is a race which is poorly presented at the top level in the foreign community with considerably less gosus than other races. After a meticulous search we have found a Terran worthy of battling the mighty IefNaij. mTwAMD-HoRRoR, arguably the best German Terran, has stepped up and will be clashing lances with IefNaij for his chance at $100 and the title of Liquibition Champion.
Both players were able to choose three maps each with IefNeij's choices being games 1, 3 and 5 while HoRRoR's choices would be games 2, 4 and 6. As per the tradition this season, the final map for the series will be decided by you, TL, via the poll on the right hand side of the page. So what maps were chosen? IefNaij chose Andromeda, Destination and Colosseum II. HoRRoR chose Azalea, Blue Storm and Python and thus the following Liquibition was set up;
IefNaij < Andromeda > 
HoRRoRIefNaij < Azalea > HoRRoRIefNaij < Destination > HoRRoRIefNaij < Blue Storm > HoRRoRIefNaij < Colosseum II > HoRRoRIefNaij < Python > HoRRoRIefNaij < You Decide! > HoRRoRRumor has it that HoRRoR has an insane TvP record on Azalea and has chosen maps which are traditionally T>P. HoRRoR has gone all out to tip the scales in his favor as much as he can. IefNaij on the other hand has chosen a field of current maps which tend to be P>T but are maps with changing balance depending on the phase of the game. IefNaij should be looking to exploit the phase of the game on each map which favors Protoss and take his games with ease. Overall this is a fairly good and interesting map pool which will be complemented by one of the maps which will be in the poll (going up shortly!!)
Liquibition #26 - 'Reckoning' is scheduled to be broadcast at the earlier date of Saturday 10th January at 4pm EST (that is 10pm CET on the 10th, and 6am KST on the 11th). You will be treated to the commentary of both Chill and Plexa for this event. Tune in to see yet another epic Bo7 between two of best foreign gamers. Don't forget to cast your vote for the map in the poll, and don't forget to cast your vote in Liquibet as well. Get ready for another epic weekend of Starcraft action in Liquibition!
