Dude ~ Moletrap, you're doing this give away? - Totally awesome. Mwahaha ~ I am already following you on twitter. :D <3 ~ Good luck with the contest!
As for A, B or C - I choose: B) a story of how eSports has brought people together
I am going to start this amazing story off by quoting something I recently wrote that I am unsure if I could write better at this moment:
"One of the great things about gamers though is their ability to come together, despite language barriers and distance. What do I mean by this? I mean they come together to make a difference in each others lives and the lives of complete strangers they have never met, by supporting, participating or helping out with charity events." - Tesla ~ Gamer Blog #11
Things like this have been proven time and time again. That no matter the situation, no matter the religion, gender, skin color or even the country someone is from, they have come together to make a difference. Examples of this generosity has been shown so many times through events like the following:
* 48 hours for minerals ~ (Child's Play)
* Charityoff 2011: Sheth vs Destiny ~ (Doctors without Borders)
* Rumble in the Bronze - Starcraft 2 Charity Grudgematch ~ (Child's Play)
* IPL Charity Stream to Support Amanda (PPSL) 11/14
* Extra-Life charity event ~ (local miracle hospital)
* 24 Hour stream for Charity feat. Tourney ~ (Leukemia and Lymphoma Societ)
* TotalBiscuit (T) vs Leah Jackson (T) Charity Showmatch ~ (Charities Supported: Water & American Cancer Society)
* Child’s Play Charity: Over 10 million for the kids!
* Project H2O: A charity event, coaching prize (dApollo) ~ (WaterAid UK, which is an international charity organization working in different countries across the globe)
* Nesc2league charity event for Alcoholics Anonymous
* MahE's 24 Hour Charity Stream ~ (Child's Play)
* SCE #1 - Starcraft Charity Events ~ (Unicef)
* An in-house StarCraft II tournament at Facebook which Sean ‘Day[9]‘ Plott ~ (Companies involved: Amazon, Dropbox, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Twitter, Yelp and Zynga)
Each and every one of these events have their own story to tell, but together they show just how caring the community happens to be. When you take a look at just all of these charities listed and know that its not even 1/20th of the charity events ran in all the E-Sports community, it shows you just how much the community comes together for a common goal and to make a difference. These together, I offer you as a story of how great and powerful the gaming community truly is and how E-Sports has brought people together - All around the world.

Moletrap, I love you so much.
This is my haiku for the night my dear Moletrap, hope you'll enjoy the reference .
"The nuke's gonna land
His army is dead now
Moletrap's voice as well"

Well Starcraft 2 has definitely brought me together with a lot of people mostly online. From watching several streams across a whole array of sites I've made plenty of new friends that I now talk to and play games together (most surprisingly it's NOT SC2, more Dota 2 and such). Still trying to get more of my friends involved, I've even heard some families gather around to watch it in their lounge room which would be great, but I've moved out of home a long time ago. Next on my list is to attend a major SC2 event (which is hard to come by in Australia) and meet even more awesome people there and the players!

One time leenock came to nantucket...

Way to give back to the community moletrap, much appreciation for all you do

I want Diablo
But anything would do now

If I wasn't a bum I would write a haiku in Japanese... but I'm a bum. Maybe tomorrow, cause I still have yet to sleep.

Thank you very much Moletrap for doing this !
It's not just about the material and sentimental value of these products in my opinion, but things like this happen only on TeamLiquid to be honest. At least, with this size. This is something what only the StarCraft2 community is capable! Not only you ofcourse and to be fair with others aswell, but everytime I wisit TeamLiquid basically you can get some stuff, be it free or paid.
I would like to give a huge THANK YOU from the TL community if I'm allowed to to this!
And ofcourse, MMA is the best !
<3

I went to a live event in Copenhagen to cast a SteelSeries event with my real life friend from college, Addicted, I was expecting it to be similar to the events we did on a weekly basis, preparing and casting game after game that we get into, however, it was nothing like it what so ever. I have never felt such community presence like I did in those 24 hours there, the players we mett we had only known by their online alias and the play we had scene but a few days earlier, it was hard at first because we had no idea what they looked like at all, but from seeing all the screens on the ladder starting screen, we could figure out soon enough. I have to give a huge thanks to all the players who play in any tournaments, online or offline and how it's such a fantastic feeling to be there, enjoying the games with tens, hundreds or thousands of other people simultaneously.
I wanted to say this ever since I came back, and it just happened to coincide with this thread, a big thanks to moletrap for offering everyone this opportunity.

Great idea for a giveaway!
And I will tell a story too:
At MLG Providence I watched Haypro kill his way through the bracket on Sunday. Early in the morning there were only a few people watching his games, but as the day went on the crowds grew. Finally there was a giant ball of people watching him play on the Alienware Stage. I was lucky to be standing right behind him and right beside all the other Liquid team members. There were so many people pulling for Haypro. I loved being a part of that. :-)
