Thread was personally approved by Chill himself
What is this?+ Show Spoiler +Hello TL! My name is Seeker. I have recently taken the charge of creating the GSL Code S/Code A threads. A recently new feature I've implemented into the GSL threads is the "themes" section. These themes are chosen from YOUR votes and insights. Afterwards, I dedicate a character from said theme to the actual caster. For Example:Tastosis: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/i6DAy.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Qi7OY.png) And so on and so forth.
To make it plain and simple, I felt that just updating the next theme to come on each GSL thread was just not enough.
We have a community on average of about 13,000 + members and on average about 3,500 + members logged in on a daily basis.
I think we could get some real GREAT themes going with everyon'e opinions and insights!
We're not a community until every last person's opinion is heard and considered which is EXACTLY what this thread is going to do.
Each week, I will update what the theme for the next upcoming GSL thread will be. You will then post your idea about what you want each caster to look like and why. Oh, and another thing. Now that we have a thread for this, I am extending the themes to the players themselves. This way, you guys can have even more fun deciding exactly who should be who. Please use this format when posting:+ Show Spoiler [Format] +
Caster/Player: (insert name here)
Character: (insert character name here)
Why: (insert reason why this caster/player should be dedicated to this character)
Next Theme: (suggestion for next theme)
If you can follow this very simple format, we'll have a very organized and efficient way of getting everyone's opinion across and keep it clean instead of clustered.
I will post this after the final poster:
THEME CLOSED!
NEW THEME:
(new theme here)
Every character suggestion made will be put in to this section. Then, depending on how many times that character has been mentioned, I will add up the # of votes for all to see:
For Example:
Artosis -> Vegeta -> Votes: 32
Tasteless -> Goku -> Votes: 23
At the end, the player/caster with the most votes will get that character
All final decisions will be posted HERE, as well as the actual thread link for the GSL matches
A-Team -> Votes: 1
LOST -> Votes: 1
NOTE: Just because a theme has been done before, does not mean I won't repeat it. It just means let's wait a little before bringing a theme back. FINAL NOTICE: If you think you can help me out in any way possible then by all means PM me! I would welcome any help possible. I'll also always give credit where credit is due.

Lol! Already found a loophole eh?

ahaha seeker you are always on top of this.
Uh idk any themes but if i think of one ill post.

I'll suggest the A-Team. I'm thinking of B.A. as Khaldor, Murdoc as Moletrap and not really sure if Face should be Artosis and Hannibal Tasteless or vice versa...

Also, follow the format or this will get messy :/

Obviously your reserving a "my little pony" theme for next seasons finals.
|
Characters from Sonic: Underground!
+ Show Spoiler +I tried to think of the worst possible thing I could come up with.

Honestly I am not a fan of these "themes". It makes the GSL threads way to cluttered and it doesn't add anything.

i liked your LOST idea in one of the polls

Thank you for your opinion.
While I do agree that "themes" don't add anything to the threads StarCraft wise, it does add creativity and teamwork. It helps TL get together to agree on ideas and to share each other's opinions. I like that fact. I like that we can all get together to work on this. And also, what harm is it causing?

Face should definitely be Tasteless.

A long time ago, I made these junk. Maybe someone else can pick up on the concept one day:

Sounds like a cool idea, I'm not creative enough to help think of a theme, though.

Guys theme suggestions are great!!!
But remember you may also send in suggestions regarding the theme that is already there.
This Week's Theme:
Anime Girls
If you don't have any good ideas for a theme, then just make suggestions for the theme that has already been chosen.

ROFL Anime girls? Tastosis in schoolgirl uniforms?
But I don't actually watch anime so can't really help there...
Still, L4D?
Tastosis: Smoker & Hunter
Khaldor: Tank
Moletrap: Boomer
Wolf: Charger
Doa (always in our hearts): Witch
OK Boomer reminded me of my favourite TV series ever:
BSG:
Tastosis: Caprica and Boomer, because we need eye candy
Khaldor: Saul
Moletrap: Lee Adama? Or Bill Adama or...
Wolf: Gaius Baltar
Doa (always in our hearts): Starbuck, always in our hearts

World of Warcraft!
Casters:
Tastosis - Arcatraz couple (you know the bickering was funny :D)
Khaldor - Yogg Saron (for the laugh)
Moletrap - Ouro ( AQ 40 worm (It burrows) )
Wolf - Big Bad Wolf (Karazhan)
Doa (always in our hearts) - Bolvar Fordragon (forgotten hero and new Lich King!)
|
Next Theme: Transformers (Generation 1)
|
|
|
If it hasn't been already, then I suggest Star Wars.

Tastosis are the two-headed pea shooters. Khaldor is a wallnut. This is an epic theme idea :D
dunno who the others would be though, better make Moletrap a sunflower.
|
How I Met Your Mother theme :D?
Everyone loves that show ^_^.

I like the concept of the pokedex theme (conceptually more so than its current rendition/presentation/font/colors/graphic). I love the idea of having a player card graphic, or some sort of display of the player's strengths (race matchups)/match history/map win percentage/hometown/favorite color/favorite pokemon or w/e, just random sweet awesome info or relevant match info displayed in the LR thread. (I'm aware i could look up both players on liquidipedia or google or wherever, and read all about 'em, and yes I still think a sweet pokedex card with relevant info and fun facts would be nice to have in LR thread theme).

Thanks :D
Since Draz requested I keep WoW till next Wednesday. PvZ it is
|
Omg, i used to play PvZ all day in class...:D I'm going to try to do a beta theme, let's see how it ends up being:D
|
PvZ. Star Fox characters should be a future one though. Off the top of my head:
Artosis = Fox
Tastless = Falco
Wolf = Wolf
Moletrap = Peppy
Khaldor = Slippy

Every single BW League ( OSL, MSL, and Proleague) is referred to by fans, TL, and even Liquipedia by [SPONSOR] [TOURNAMENT], even years after the tournament is over. It makes sense, too, as sponsors pay to have their name attached to that league. However, in SC2 everyone seems to actively avoid referencing the title sponsor for GSLs. I feel like I'm the only one who tried to refer to it as the HOT6iX GSL in my thread. I get that GSLs used to happen almost every month month and it was cumbersome to keep track of, but now that we get 2-3 month long GSLs we should change. There will only be 5 main GSLs this year, which is comparable to the number of individual leagues Brood War used to have (6, 3 OSLs and 3 MSLs). We should NOT refer to this GSL as the 2012 GSL January, 2012 GSL S1, but as the HOT6iX GSL, much like the Korean Air OSL, Arena MSL, or SK Planet Proleague.
Took this from the HOT6ix GSL Recognition Thread. All credit goes to juicyjames. Felt like this should be added.

Probably a stupid idea, but how about Family Matters portraits! i dont know who would be who, but i think it would be funny. yeah this is totally random i know
![[image loading]](http://media1.break.com/breakstudios/2011/8/3/fmatter6.jpg)
|
yeah i support calling it hot6ix GSL
in regards to themes, MW series (roach, ghost, soap, price, makarov, etc)?
or more kpop

Please no theme! I love the simplicity of new new LR thread style that was introduced. It was sleek and sexy.

Well, according to his opinion, clutter. For users trying to check results on their iphones etc its also just extra detail.

Love your enthusiasm and the amount of work going into these live report threads though

Meh....
I don't even really do themes anymore. It just feels like it brings up too much criticism.
And also, I always put them in spoilers now so don't complain about it mucking up the thread

Please continue to do themes! The earlier ones were great.
