I completely agree with above that no volunteer member at TL is ever obligated to do anything whatsoever.

With that said, I also think it's fine as community members to question (without demanding anything) why there wasn't a recap for the biggest SC2 event of the year (and a very very good one at that), while still writing GSL previews (and even recaps!).

It could just be such a recap takes time, etc., but I would respond to that that I think most people would be completely satisfied with a very quick recap that's no more than five paragraphs or so, even a few paragraphs tbh (like the recent GSL summaries but without the game descriptions). Recap threads are great in that they serve as a new thread for people to discuss, or they serve as a headliner for people who maybe didn't watch the tournament or keep heavily up to date, or, just simply, they commemorate important SC2 moments.

I mean we are so far past that I don't really think any recap is needed now because it's just so late (are you really going to write "Last month, Serral took his long-awaited trophy etc."). If you guys are planning a very long recap, that's still super cool! But I think most community members would have also preferred a super quick recap sometime shortly after the end of the biggest SC2 tournament of the year.

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.


And in response to this, I don't think time is actually good to digest the season. Maybe a few days or a week, but SC2 changes so fast that the things we note about a tournament in February might very well be completely false/no longer true come next week in April.

All of this going without saying of course that TL writers are amazing and the community is highly indebted to them for the great work that you do.

IEM recap: When the top 4 Zergs actually try they are unbeatable besides to each other. The only reason 2021 looked somewhat balanced is because all 4 of them are lazy as fuck. Done.

There is a small recap of the finals at least in this video

Serral vs Reynor shortfilm

I also think no one should blame anyone on here not being a recap. Whoever would love to see one, should take the time and write it. There were so many cool side stories, like Ryung advancing from the groups eventhough he was "just" a covid replacement, heromarine going to semis, the epic spriti vs nice match and so on... So it will take a lot of effort to cover it all.

Honestly though: Can someone please explain to me what TL.net wants to be? A news page like HLTV for SC2? Or just a community that sometimes, if someone has the muse for it, does Esports coverage?
Because if it is the first one, they do an amazingly crappy job at it. If it is the later, then that is fine, but I seriously wonder if there actually is a website that does actual coverage of SC2?

... well come on, there is recaps for every ept cup, for every gsl group, for every major tournament. Each one extremely well written. I like the state of tl.net at the moment. Of course this whole website could be a little bit more engaging, but I am just super happy there still is a community after almost 12 years of sc2. I believe every starcraft fan saw the IEM Katowice world championship finals, be it live or via vod. So one could even argue, that a recap for a tournament everyone has seen might be of less value, than a recap for a tourney which flies a little more under the radar (like a world team league for example, which has/had a very good coverage).

So yeah huge shoutout to every writer/contibrutor on this website. Don't feel hassled by threads like these, you are doing an awesome job. Many people read your reports and like 'em, even without commenting.

This is just my view, but I did feel that the recent IEM was kinda rush, with so many things going on at the same time, so it is just hard to keep track of all the things going on. I believe the best way to have a recap is to have live blog update everyday and then we compile that into a single document at the end. I guess the team just never had the chance to do it, so its difficult to finish it up by the end.
Btw, the recap shouldnt just about Serral, there were plenty of good story there, lack of Protoss players, Ryung rise, some dissapointment like Clem and Cure, ect..Surely Serral and Reynor were the peak performers, but there just are too many things to talk about.

TL.net is like Wax and Poopi these day, it's hardly a massive team, and they are chruning thousands of words every month. Maybe neither had the wilingness to write a recap world championship that took place over dozens of hours this time around.

No there are no other SC2 new website as it take tens of hours every week.

I think it is prerogative of TL writers to write whatever they are willing to do. For example, we had an article written by Mizenhauer before criticizing Rogue's gameplays right after he won Blizzcon and Katowice. For me, it did not matter much as these were something they wanted to write about because it showed that they were willing to do it and not bound by whoever asked them to do so.

Rogue & Maru fan boy. ^^
