The biggest foreign-run Starcraft tournament in history has come to a close. The Razer TeamLiquid StarLeague met, if not exceeded, all expectations- it is hard to believe that it began life as a small MSN conversation between Hot_Bid and FakeSteve[TPR], but evolved into a monstrous tournament with $10,000 at stake and over 4,000 viewers from all around the world.

And it was all made possible by the hard work of the staff members of TeamLiquid. From coders to news writers, the Razer TeamLiquid StarLeague owes thanks to many.

But just as importantly, the Razer TSL owes thanks to the graphics team of TeamLiquid as well. From start to finish, the graphics team has produced multiple images for the Razer TSL; from the uncovering, the hype, the qualifiers, the round of sixteen, and the finals, the graphics team has been producing image upon image to supplement the Razer TSL each and every step of the way.

And so, I create this thread to showcase the beautiful work produced by the graphics team over the course of the entire Razer TSL. This is a dedication to each member whose art has touched upon and changed the Razer TSL in every way imaginable, giving it the spice and uniqueness that now resides in our memories.
