Seems like you're reaching a little for something to complain about.

Is it possible, in order to increase liquipedia's popularity, to ask to esport community/team website if they can add a link or a page who drive people to liquidpedia as the official data base of all informations about Starcraft 2 ?
This idea may looks too simple for being viable, but I'm sure there is little things to do who can change the relationship between casual gamer and e-sport! Most of them just doesn't know what it is or how it works.
Sorry bad english :D

It's always nice to read a text like this, where the bold parts line up beautifully and make sense even if you only read them, where the presentation follows a logic from introduction and body to conclusion. Where the tone of the text is one of constructive criticism rather than bashing.
Thanks, Grubby, for that beautifully written post.

Way to go Grubby! I really enjoyed reading your post and I absolutely agree!
Awesome structure, you are really showing how to organize your thoughts in a post, a lot of boons like me will profit from pro-gamer posts like these.
Everyone involved into making E-sports better, should really consider your suggestions!
<3 to you and all people @ TL

edit: lets all donate to liquipedia, as soon as a donate button appears!

AFAIK I've only edited it once EVER because someone messaged me to help with the Shield Battery thing. You see personally I don't actually WANT to edit it, not when someone else typically does it better than I do for one, and for another, generally other people who write it regularly have better writing and are more coherent in fewer words.

This is why MLG has such good reception of their live events, because there are only 4-6 a year. They're something to really look forward to.

If Blizzard listen to such nice and knowing guys, SC2 will never die.
Very well said, Grubby. I'm also very worried of SC2.

WOW Grubby! Amazing post, incredible effort, very accurate. 10/10
Keep it up!

I would be one of these people...but now I know! I've never actually done any sort of wiki editing before, I didn't know that literally anyone could contribute. Do I even have to log in to anything?

This is the best, most concise, and most accurate post I have seen in a long time.. I hope to see this all over reddit, battle.net forums, and twitter. Grubby clearly knows what he is talking about and was able to articulate it in a way that was tactful, intelligent, and practical. <3 Grubby!

i really like it
pros should be more vocal about the scene and the game itself

» For Liquipedia to start listing all of the replays & VOD's for all the events consistently.
I don't know if you or many other people here on TeamLiquid know about it, but there's a section on reddit, where you can look up and watch all the VOD's from recent (big) events.
They do a really good job (like you would expect from reddit), so maybe there is a possibility to combine this work with Liquipedia!?
here's what I'm talking about, it's really awesome for anyone out there to find all the VOD's you've been looking for!
(I haven't read through this thread, so I hope I'm not posting the same stuff as someone before me)
SpoilerFree SC2-VODs
I would also appreciate a Donate-Button for teamliquid, because it's such an amazing community and there's been put so much work into it for free!
btw, nice Post Grubby, I really like to read your thoughts about eSports and to see your passion for it!

Sadly this post got burried by all the recent drama. Such a well-written post deserve more attention! Rightfully bumping this!

Grubby, you are the best. Thank you for your service and contributions to the community!
