TL Arena kind of replaced TL Attack during Brood War, but its still not really the same. TL Arena is where you register to be a contestant and the "hero" accumulates handicaps as he wins. TL Attack is like where everyone joins a channel? and they just picked a random dude in the channel to play against the famous gamer | ||

TeamLiquid Attack was a show where a couple teamliquid members (usually staff) would convince a well known foreigner (sea[shield] being the exception) to hop on battle.net and play people from the community. The two TL guys and the star player for the episode would hop on ventrillo and comment on the game being played and random other antics. This was all streamed by a designated observer. After each game the crew would move to a different channel that would be announced over the stream. Once the channel started to fill everyone would spam the channel trying to convince the player to pick them to play against. The accounts created and the witty lines created to try to sway the player were generally hillarious and the commentary just added to it. At the end of every episode, some well known IRCer's would hop on and play team melee against the one star player and the commentators. So in effect the one player had to beat one person who could do three things simultaneously. Torrents are not longer available but you can find most on youtube. Here are some clips: Intro: XiaoZi is hilarious: | ||

I think it would be very fun, especially for the hordes of newbies that are just learning the game. I always perceived that it had a real success, though I admit I personally never followed the episodes too much. | ||

If you could get a well known current/ex progamer on TL Attack SC2 (e.g. Tester and Garimto), that would be really, really awesome . | ||

maybe something like more guest appearances from good players as opponents and maybe a pre-decided player pool like in TL Arena to...uhm..... "tighten" things up a bit, can't think of a better word ^^ | ||

I agree there were major format issues. When I rewatch the VODs, there's so much downtime. Hopefully Bnet 2.0 will help smooth those problems out. | ||

Are you serious? Wow... Anyway, bring it back! It was so awesome and I bet it'll be even better with SC2, but the new interface will probably require some adjustment to the format. | ||

Wow, tremendous increase, I thought it would be maybe double but overt the course of Beta 5x more? Is that decrease at the end from Beta ending? Keep TL attack, if there's a quality crew it's without a doubt the best event TL has to offer besides TSL ofcourse. It's very amusing and there is nothing funnier than the player at hand losing to some random guy. I remember watching the Korean version Stork playing and I believe he lost 2 games in a row. | ||

I voted for modified version of it. I think it would be cool to not only have the pro's play random players from the channel, but to have some handicaps like Pholon's Arena too. It would make for more entertaining games. :D On June 26 2010 03:45 7mk wrote: "what do you like to do in your free time, cloud?" "uh well... I like uh.. I like porn I watch porn a lot..yea.."

tl attack was epic. the one time i tuned in to watch TL arena, its produciton quality just wasnt as good as TL attack. it was really messy and people seemed like they were just fuking around(no offense). plus its better when the "hero" decides to just handicap himself. oh and definitely needs some BM guests to make it interesting. i mean TL attack just had epic written all over it. i mean superiorwolf? wtf was that shit. GG oh and bring back the team melee!!! | ||

The TL attack with Sea was so bad. It was just a bunch of fanboys creaming in their pants. "oh my god oh my god, its a progamer" Seriously, it was so boring. The commentators didnt even ask him many questions. It was just Sea roflstomping a bunch of noobs. The TL Attacks with foreigners were better, but still not up to the quality of other TL events. On June 26 2010 08:08 jgad wrote: How the fuck can half the people here not know what TL attack is?? What's next? WTF is the OSL? 0_o Do you really need to ask this? Look at the top left of TL.net. Before beta it was extremely rare to see over 1000 users, but now it is extremely rare to see less than 2000. Most people who view TL have joined the community in the last few months. | ||

A king of the hill (liquibition / MLG koth) or something of the style is as good as it can get for streamed live events. I know they require more investment, but maybe you guys can find another incentive that cash prices for the winners... | ||

Sea is baller. But Sea on TL Attack was certainly a bit cringeworthy. Still, it was a first step and no doubt people learn and improve with time. I wouldn't mind seeing more TL Attack, anyway. Foreigners or progamer, it was always a fun event, good for some jokes and laughs. | ||

For those people saying it used to be not that fun, look at the community show matches. vs gg.net was pretty painful to listen to for a lot of the parts, vs sc2gg was better. I think it'll be the same way, I think there will be a lot of improvements and will be awesome. | ||

During the Sea[Shield] Episode where the commentators started trying to get lilsusie to do the wraith attack sound and the medic dieing, best shit ever by far. EDIT: JESUS has it really been that long since TL attack I just saw that chart it feels like it was barely a few months ago for some reason, now I realize how much it kicked ass bring it back. | ||

Sounds like fun, but I still voted WTF is TL Attack because I've never seen it and am not sure about the exact format where the "Pros" beat up on the nubs with handicaps. But, I could see how it would be a lot of fun. edit: And I'm sure most new people are here to learn about how to beat their friends at SC2. That is all. They could care less about TL Attack, TSL or anything like that. They just want to somehow soak up skills and win more and move on. You can tell by the popularity of certain things and threads. (Day9, Orb, Build Threads in SC2... SC2 patch notes etc etc. and the explosion of the Pics thread lol) | ||

TL has had a HUGE surge in members over the last year. Ya, these results are really shocking. Unless you've actually been here over the last 6 months. People need to stop acting like they would have known about this if they just signed up. That thread, the Sea[sheild] one, only has as many pages as THIS thread talking about it. 10. That's way less than 99% LR threads in the BW section. You people talk about it like it was the second coming of Christ and we all missed it. Fuck. | ||

TL Attack is fairly visible if you come to this site looking for BW vods. There aren't that many big events that were streamed off of TL's own stream, so to someone actually looking for them, it should be noticeable. Going off that, the logical conclusion is that a lot of the "wtf is TL Attack" votes are coming from people who came to this site for SC2 exclusively, and who don't have much current interest in BW. Obviously not surprising, but still somewhat disappointing. | ||

Now, if a SC2 event is on, you need at least like 1000 viewers to have some sort of bragging rights. | ||

Out of those ten pages I just read through, hoping to find an informative link or a description I failed to do so. Granted I found clues - vague clues - and could probably guess what TL Attack is, but not with any details about it. Yes, your community grew with SC2 - be happy and accept us, don't be elitists. =] Now, how about a description or a link for apparently 60% of the community who have no idea? ^^ | ||

TL attack for sc2 should come back with another format. First of all, with the rise of the stream tecnology, the point of TL attack is a little redondent cause you can see good players play with others and joke around on ventrilo alot. There's also the issue of the lack of chat channels (but again, do we really want them?), one of the best part of TL attack is people flooding channels and doing all sorts of hilarious stuff to get noticed and get to play against the host... this will not happen in sc2, the show will most likely be a chain of matchs with some people joking around in the background (btw, that's like exactly the goatshow). So I guess some format changes will be needed in order to give the event some extra flavour. Personally I would like to see the player hoping into some random UMS map and screw around | ||

It shouldn't break your heart, it should make you excited that this many people are joining the ranks of Starcraft. Myself being one of them | ||

Honestly? There's less than a page of threads about TL Attack when you search, and most of them are clearly labeled "Episode 1", etc. You shouldn't need someone to spoon-feed you a link. On June 30 2010 00:26 Kralic wrote: Why do all poll threads turn into forum "vets" bashing the new posters. It is pathetic to see. How is expressing surprise the same as "bashing"? I think I'm perfectly justified in being a little upset that new posters haven't taken the time to learn more about this community. As I mentioned before, there aren't THAT many events that TL itself hosted streamed over its own stream, and I would argue that TSL and TL Attack were two of the more prominent ones. Particularly with beta being offline, I would think some of the newer members should have taken the time to watch the old VODs. | ||

Let's do the same. Pit gosu SC2 players against 2-4 simultaneous opponents. There are several ways to set this up. The simplest setup would use four computers controlled through the same monitor, keyboard and mouse via a 4-way KVM switch. | ||

TL Attack, 2008. Most members join 2010. The shock results from TL "insiders" imagining that their past events were some HUGE thing on the intrawebs, when it was really just a spec in time. Very entertaining, but it wasn't the Olympics. Very easy to "miss" if you're unaware of BroodWar. | ||

It is shocking to everyone that was around to watch it that people who are a part of this community do not know of TL Attack! because it was a very prominent event in this community's history. If this poll were of all the internet then I would not be surprised at all to see a 99:1 ratio of people not knowing about TL Attack! and those wanting it back. | ||

In simultaneous games, there'd be far too much to do for one player. A double rush is pretty much all it takes for you to lose at least one game. | ||

I don't understand why people are crying. I voted I didn't know what TL Attack was. Why? Because I just joined Team Liquid a couple of months ago and never was too involved in the Starcraft community. YOU SILLY PERSON ;D;D;D;D but in any chase instead of voting "WTF is TL Attack? O_o" you could have simply voted: "Bring it back! (1431)" Because even if it was a wierd version of Run kitty run, its something positive for the community.xD | ||

That's like me asking if you like some new Wacka Flocka song and you say "WTF is Wacka Flocka?"...if you're not involved in a specific culture, you aren't expected to know some very small aspect of it. You should be glad that your community is getting larger, with more and more people to involve yourselves with, especially when it comes to Starcraft 2. My two cents. As has been mentioned before, TL Attack was one of the more prominent BW events that TL hosted. A month since beta came down is more than enough time for people who have joined up to discover it's awesomeness, especially since it featured a lot of their favorite SC2 players playing BW. I don't think it's unreasonable to be disappointed that people haven't shown more interest in BW since beta came down. | ||
