Guide for LR Thread Step by Step: What have to be in, what should etc + Show Spoiler + Pictures are always an eye catcher, this post don´t have much. If you think about making a LR thread you have to read through The list is no general rule how it should be posted. Things like matches might be better very close to the top of the thread. Change it the way you like. If it´s wrong some people give very fast feedback. TL has many good tools to make your thread better, important ones like Liquipedia and TLPD should never miss. Many people work for these things and you will find most informations you need in these! BB codes don´t have space inside the brackets [ ], everything posted below is with space so delete the space if you put it inside your post
Go with the title shown right at the Calender, simple. No confusion, no need to think about something catchy. Add Day 1/2 etc if it´s a event that is played over several days or Group A/B, Playoff if it´s planed like this. Use [ ] for easy recognization like [GSL] [MLG] The Banner is an important part. They mosten times contain Sponsors, the name of Tournament and are a nice introduction to your thread. Sometimes dates, players and other minor informations are in them. So they can also generate a bit hype. Banners can be found here Examples: + Show Spoiler + Very important information. Write the time or date in your timezone and use the [time][/ time] or [date][/ date] BB codes around it. This will show it in the readers timezone if he selected his timezone in his profile. (Be aware that at least on the second page the first one will ask "when does it start"?) Most times streams are easily available through the stream list. If you have additional infos (like casters) or streams that are not on the TL list add them here. Does the Tourney have a planed schedule? If yes add it to your OP, keep updated if there are delays. Many don´t have the time to watch the whole time and can plan accordingly. Make a picture and post it if possible or just link it. Example: + Show Spoiler + I´ll spoiler this, ignore it if you wish so + Show Spoiler + With many sections adding Headers will make it much more easy to read. You can get amazing looking one from BW forum, the Second post in here or create your owns on free sites like here For small sections headers might be too much, if so you can simple add [ hr] before/after the section it will make a line across the post You can center everything by adding [center] at the beginning and [ /center] at the end. Of course you can add the tags for every section on it´s own. This will make your post much more pleasing to watch. Use [red][ /red], [green][ /green], [blue][ /blue] and the codes on top of post box to show important parts. This will help the readers to get usefull informtions. Have many minor infos? Making a [ list] [ /list] of them will make it more attractive than a block of text. Add [ *] before each line. Not only they make everything more easy to read, they also + Show Spoiler + make people curious Possibilities Very important! Include either a Result Section or make it part of the Matches Section, but spoiler it! Keep it updated! Most people come in the thread after some time and want a quick overview. If possible add the maps they played and make the winner bold for every map. Example:+ Show Spoiler + Like above, for important/broadcasted games make a poll "Add Poll". Post the poll after the game finished and add it to your section. If it´s a BoX perhaps quote your fist poll for the first game and add the second poll so people who didn´t see the first one can vote now. Please stick to "Yes/No/If you have time", other options might already spoiler the result like "Lol, Terran/NO!!/No" Example:+ Show Spoiler + Several people often livereport the games like Drazerk, Probe1 and others occasionally. This is the basic intention of LR threads and a great help for people that are not able to watch the games live due to work or bad internet. Please consider adding the updated posts to your OP. A guide to LR can be found here. Updated final posts look like THIS Example: + Show Spoiler + On August 30 2011 21:07 Drazerk wrote: Game Four on Shipyard In the top left is Top While in bottom left is Genius 1:40 Barracks / Gateway in production 2:10 Gas on the way for genius 2:40 Orbital / core starting 4:30 Expansion on the way for Top with two more barracks in production Warp gate for Genius along with his own expansion 5:30 Genius going up to three gates while starting his robo 6:10 Stim starting for Top 7:00 Factory and ebay for top Genius is getting a second observer 8:00 Starport and +1 bio weapons for TOP forge for genius 8:30 Reactored medivacs in production for top while starting his third base Genius is getting a twilight council 9:30 Three more gates, blink and +1 for Genius 10:30 Ghost academy starting for Top 11:00 Robo bay and charge for Genius 11:40 Blink from genius kills a drop 12:10 Factory prevents genius from taking a third base 13:10 Thermal lance and templar archives for genius Four vikings at a time coming out for Top 14:40 Mobious and ghosts starting for Top Psi storm for Genius 16:20 Expansion and cloak for Top 17:00 Drop at the third of genius is finally cleaned up 17:40 Genius is taking the gold base 18:20 Top moving in to attack while taking his own gold 19:00 Storm kills all the vikings 21:00 Armies engaging Mass EMP 23:00 Top was forced back for now Third base of genius is falls to a drop 26:00 Drop from Top Snipe kills all the templar 27:00 Another base starting for Top Genius loses his units running into the defensive planetary 30:00 Drop is destroying the production of genius 31:00 I see building armour being researched 32:00 Genius GGs Top takes the series Have infos like Price Pool, Map Pool, the format (Round Robin/BoX/...)? Add them, might not be as important but these infos are often times interesting and people don´t have to ask as much in the thread. Many websites have (very good) coverage of big Tourneys. Fragster and Readmore are often present at the event, make Interviews and other stuff. Adding a section where you post these links is a good thing toi have. Especially if they contact you and ask if you might add them. + Show Spoiler [Appendix] + Many things might be missing, create the thread the way you like it. Nobody else will spend as much time at the OP as you If you need food for thought just look at other LR Threads open like GSL threads Don´t forget to update Tournament Section before posting, someone else might have done a thread already. Adding something like Liquipedia for results and informations is always important. If you take banners/section headers/... from people please write it somewhere in a short line, that way you thank them for their work! If you find mistakes, something to add/delete please tell me. This post can ofc be posted at the beginning of the thread if people think it´s helpfull. If this thread becomes a sticky it might be good if the standart OP maker like MrCon, Asha or Probe1 who cover every [GSL] Day write in here if they are not able to make the OP. This way other can jump in and make the work without making an OP and notice too late that already one is done. | ||
