My friend sent me replays of Boxer long time ago. I decided to search online for more games from Boxer and got onto http://boxerforever.com/ which had links to TeamLiquid.

So it was sort of like IRL Sent Replays --> Search Engine --> Website --> TL Link

I first learned of the site around when SC2 was getting it's first inklings of info, back in 2007. I was looking for more info on the game, due to how endlessly excited I was about the idea. I didn't start regularly reading until the first GOM tournament, somewhere in the middle of it. My general tendency to lurk kept me from making an account until I decided I had something to say (I later retracted and didn't post it, and continued to lurk)

I found TL after Tasteless mentioned it in a GOM cast. And I heard about the GOM casts from Pure Pwnage, of all places.

When SC2 was first announced, I was pretty excited about it. I surfed the web looking for any info I could get about it, and that's when I came upon... sc2gg.com

Several months later, I'd read enough about TL on that site to give it a shot, see if it was any good. I never looked back.

I think I stumbled here through a search engine, was looking up how to get awesome at BW and I made it here, lurked for a while then joined when beta giveaways came around. ^^

When I first started playing Starcraft a bit more seriously I went to look for pro maps and found the TL map database. And that was that

I used to scour the web, looking for advice on build orders in Brood War just so that I could beat my friends. I discovered TL, and not only did I find the pinnacle of strategic discussion, but volumes of content about the professional scene, which I immediately got hooked on. I also discovered iCCup through TL.
