What the title says.

I understand that this site and community is not been supported by hundreds of sponsors with millions of revenue, but the recaps from tournaments and possible articles following that would be nice to get in timely manner. And now we are talking about the biggest tournament of SC2 in the whole year. Of course us loyal followers have been watching it live and know the results, but in general it would be nice to have the articles ready way sooner. 3+ weeks is just not acceptable. Starcraft is not being highlighted that much anywhere else, so it would be nice that the most popular(?) community would have article(s) up to us enjoy and speculate (argue). At least I love to read from tournaments and the results from here and I would guess so do many other fans too.

The key word in your post is "community." We are all Team Liquid, and none of us has written the recap. It does suck for us, the community, that we, the community, have not produced this content that we would so enjoy having on our community site. But it's on us. And we, frankly, are busy these days. Starcraft isn't drawing in new people as fast as it did in earlier days, so the community is aging, and we've all got other responsibilities. I'm not going to cast aspersions at others for not creating content I'd like to see, because I could have created it, and I understand why they didn't, because I'm way too busy with more important real-life responsibilities to do it, and they probably are, too.

If you find yourself with the time to write an IEM recap, get your ass in gear and write it. If you don't, don't waste your time coming here to point fingers at the rest of the community for not producing the free content you want.

Dont see why some people get offended by this post. One can actually point out something bad about a website that is based on the community and free.
IF there was a lot of people wishing for a recap MAYBE someone who have the time and energy to write it would see the demand clearly and feel more inspired to start writing something. IF this person however, did NOT see any demand whatsoever, only remarks about how old the community is with other responsibilities, he/she would probably not take the time to write the recap.
So I dont see the harm with the post.
That being said, the "tone" could ofc have been more of a "it would be great if someone" instead of " this is not acceptable". That would probably have generated slightly more positive responses.

This question has already been answered in this thread: https://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/587041-iem-katowice-2022-final-four-players-set-for-sunday?page=3
There are no big tournaments yet so it is not that big of a deal that the recap isn't there yet, time is good to digest the season.

My intention wasnt to be aggressive or too demanding, but I just was genuinely curious if the recap was even being made. Well, the responses were the same if I had asked if Koreans can ever win any SC2 tournament again. If there is a new article for every single day of the tournament, except for the last day and results, it just felt funny that instead of 10h(?), it now takes 3 weeks to do. I dont know, maybe im just stupid or something.

BTW, I once did a kind of recap of an tournament if I recall correctly. It was even harder whinefest then of course instead of any reasonable discussion.

2022 is... too busy you know. With what going on right now in world you shouldn't be too surprised that there isn't article yet.

I also find this post totally legit. The first 4 days i thought "okay they don't want spoilers". If i would want wo write it i would also think "there are people always doing it and the probability of having two recaps of the biggest event in the year is high, so i don't want to get in the way".

And the post of outscar is also not valid. People are still not too busy to do ASMR videos, hot tub, reactions of reactions of reactions and all the stupid shit that you can imagine :D.

The recap is delayed due to supply chain issues.

Well, Katowice's recap was published almost immediately in 2017-2020; it was released 10 days after the tournament last year and this year we have been waiting for 18 days now.
It's unusual, for sure.

Imagine The Katowice 2022 roster collectively in control and multitasking 200+ armed air-to-air drones upon a humanitarian corridors for their security and secure delivery of an international aid.

Effective, defensive, peaceful no-fly-zone.

Imagine Rotti and Smix narrating in a real time live what is happening.

That's why we cannot have our recap.

I would have also loved to read a recap... I think while the tone is questionable, the content of your post is valid. They've covered most of the past year's big results, so why not the biggest tournament of the entire year? Which was pretty epic on top of that?

They probably want to finish their best game of 2022 list before

But for real though, if some of yall are interested to write some Starcraft stuff, you should totaly go for it! I'm sure the TL guys would be more than happy to publish it. Just think of it as a slightly more wordy shitpot.
