lichter's notes: I am currently writing a FAQ for LR threads, to be included at the bottom of each LR. Mostly I want it to address questions regarding LR threads, as well as questions about becoming LR OPs. Please look through the FAQ and PM me with ideas to improve it. TY!
Volunteer! All you have to do is check if there's already a thread for the tournament, or if anyone is scheduled to make the thread. If there isn't a thread and no one is scheduled to do it, you can become the LR OP! We are always looking for new people to help out, especially for WCS AM and EU.
Being the LR thread OP is hard work, but it's also fulfilling. Hundreds, if not thousands, of people check the LR thread every day, and it is a valuable resource to the community. It's a simple way of supporting SC2, the game we all presumably love :p
Now that I've decided to be a LR OP, what do I do? + Show Spoiler +
Next, read up a little on bbcode and familiarize yourself with it. It helps to look at the code for previous LR OPs.
Finally, check your schedule. Are you SURE you'll be around for the duration of the tournament? Are you sure you'll be able to update in a timely manner?
If everything checks out and you've done all of the above, all you have to do is make the thread!
Where can I find previous LR OPs, as well as LR resources? + Show Spoiler +
LRing is tough work, and only a handful of people do it regularly. The most famous ones are Shellshock and The_Templar, but occasionally other people (such as packrat, Yello, etc) do it as well. If no one is available to do it, then there is no LR. Again, we need more volunteers. Anyone who watches games regularly and types really, really fast has qualifications to become an LRer.
All you have to do is write out what happens during the game. It doesn't need to be complete, but it should be a good summary of the entire game. Supply counts, timings, build orders, and major events are typically what receive priority in LRs. You can read more LRs by Shellshock and The_Templar for a better idea of how to do it.
Can I submit a new banner, player photos, or other images? + Show Spoiler +
Yes! We encourage creativity in LR threads, so if you want to submit some fancy stuff and replace the premade ones, go right ahead.
Who do I contact if I have questions about LR threads? + Show Spoiler +

Jaedong is the true zerg god. He only allowed Nestea to be a god while he himself was absent (still played in glorious SCBW). Now Jaedong returned and will smash that false god! But the first blood will be TheSTC.
If Vibe doesn't make it out of his group then there will be a minimum of eight Koreans in the round of 16. WCS America is looking more and more like WCS Korea every season.

This seems much more likely than NesTea beating Jaedong lol.
Forgot all about this amazing group. What a pleasant surprise to stumble across it while browsing TL randomly. Havent seen Nestea play in forever so that is going to be interesting. Im also eager to see how JD has improved on his ZvT, hope he does well today.

Yeah there's a lot more opportunities for micro with these early game units, and it's more fun to watch small armies constantly clash than to watch one deathball vs deathball engagement that decides the game.

Horrible UI, gamma too high, can't read numbers because they're too small; what's the point in using a modified overlay if it actually downgrades the spectating experience?

I have to agree. Also really dislike the WCS AM overlay.
If the upper player produces lots of stuff, the production tab actually hides the supply and gas of the left player (in this case JD). Also the letters are too small, as you said. The standard overlay is clearly superior.

to me mechanical is macro like never missing inject/supply/creep etc.
Yeah Nestea should have made buildings and spine at the entrance of the expansion, he saw that vibe had no expansion I don't understand why he left his base with all his zerglings, against speedlings

Great play on both sides.... Vibe actually had the sexier moves. If only he didn't put himself behind with that hatch first..... Comeon Vibe, don't get meta-ed!

Amazing play. A 10 pool in ZvZ is for sure no cheese. It's just one of the possible openings.
did you see vibe vs nestea game 3. that's what your 9 or 10 pool gets when your opponent does a different build. jd got a build order win, but vibe played quite brilliantly to make it even look like a close game (also thanks to jaedong for committing so heavily to an aggressive follow-up, while vibe didn't cut a single corner during his recovery, allowing him to narrow the gap, but not totally close it).

Omg. How can you go 14 Hatch and THEN gas and THEN pool in ZvZ WITHOUT DRONE SCOUT???? Seriously, Vibe just threw that game away. Don't be so greedy man.

hahahahaha wow, so horribly played by theStC XD He should've just eliminated the main of Nestea then lifted everything to his army. Could've easily won that game ><
I'm trying to come up with a pun that involves Nestea's name, "balls of steel," and teabagging his opponent. Because that's what that game needs to do it justice.

Well shouldn't be that surprising if you think about it.
Yeah I don't really see much point in making the thread unless you were there from the beginning, because it's not like you can really put anything in the OP without being able to access the results anywhere. Seems very silly to run them this way. sigh...
