This piece is an essay, and has not been edited. This does not represent the opinion of anyone from tl dot net staff and I, Poopi, am the sole responsible as a fellow tl dot net user and not as a Writer from tl dot net. Please read at your own risk, especially if you are zerg . Inside spoilers are the publicly available youtube links of the songs that were listened to at the time of writing.
I will finish the editing of the thread asap but don't worry, nothing will be added, just more colors (green / blue / red) or the songs in spoilers, italic for the lyrics or French, etc.

[Skan - Give it to dem]

Terrans and protoss of the world, UNITE!
“Now, the situation is critical and action is urgently needed. “
“This is my solemn appeal: let us stand up, for these are grave times. “


French: L’heure est grave.

+ Show Spoiler +


[Panic Room - Au/Ra]
Katowice 2023 might be the last World Championship tournament in Starcraft 2 history. Yes, you read that right, it might be the last WC ever. Fellow terrans and protoss, do you want this horrid red color to stay on Liquipedia forever? Do you really want yet another zerg winning the World Championship?

[Dig Deeper - Fearless Motivation]
Terrans and protoss of the world, UNITE!
The enemy is not the protoss sitting next to you, or the terran killing your workers with a pesky medivac marines drop on the ladder for MMR.
THE ENEMY, or shall I say, THE ENEMIES have name like you and I. Serral is their leader, they all bow to him in western countries. Dark is the leader in eastern countries, now that Rogue has been defeated by the mighty military service.

+ Show Spoiler +

[Fallen Leaves - Billy Talent]
Terrans and protoss of the world, UNITE!
Reynor is also silently watching from the shadows, waiting for the right moment to show up in his final, magnificent form. He still hasn’t bought a Lambo, but he might pay Lambo once again to try and steal the World Championship from US, the terrans and protoss of the world.

Zest, Stats, Rain, MC… so many great players paved the way for herO to win the World Championship.
Mvp, MKP, MMA, Polt, Flash, Boxer, INnoVation… so many great players paved the way for Maru or Bunny to win the World Championship, or even Clem.

+ Show Spoiler +

[The Antidote - Stupeflip]
Terrans and protoss of the world, UNITE!
The rule is simple: cheer for every terran and protoss facing a zerg player, no matter what.
If you are watching from home, you can still transmit your energy. If you will be watching Katowice live, don’t kill your vocal cords, as they are our best weapon. Be mindful, but use them to cheer for every terran and protoss that has to face the enemy. Or rather, THE ENEMIES.

Did you not enjoy Dreamhack:Atlanta? Or rather… WEREN’T YOU ENTERTAINED??
Look me in the eyes and tell me with a straight face that you did not enjoy this tournament.
Deep inside you, you know why you loved it: no zerg in finals. Extinct.

[La Pluie (feat. Stromae) - Orelsan]
French: “Il fait beau, il fait beau. Chez moi il fait beau, il fait beau…”

[Frontline - Demoz]
Terrans and protoss of the world, UNITE!
Indeed, only by our alliance can we finally triumph and win potentially the last World Championship of Starcraft 2’s history.

Whenever you see a zerg, remind him that his heroes are not worthy. Yes, you hear that right, they have stolen several World Championships that belong to us. All of our World Championship BELONG to us, the true heirs of the throne, the good guys, the protoss and terrans of this world that WORK more than THE ENEMIES. Don’t you hear this sound? That is the march of our victory, that is the march of herO, or Bunny, or Maru, or Clem, or NightMare, or Creator, or Trap (hmm no sorry Gemini).

[IDOL - BTS]
Terrans and protoss of the world, UNITE!
Indeed, only by our alliance can we finally triumph and win potentially the last World Championship of Starcraft 2’s history.
Terrans and protoss of the world, UNITE!

Don’t you hear this sound? That is the DELIGHTFUL sound of our ENEMIES’ TEARS. They are coming, they are coming. Our ENEMIES, the zergs of this world, repeat after me: OUR ENEMIES THE ZERGS OF THIS WORLD. They will cry like we have cry. They will suffer like we have suffered. They will have to endure TvT, TvP, PvT, PvP, in the finals. They will cry and we will drink all the salt of their tears, we will drink all of their tears for they are THE ENEMIES. Zergs of this world be prepared, terrans and protoss will UNITE.

Terrans and protoss of the world, UNITE!
Terrans and protoss of the world, UNITE!

As only with this alliance can we TRIUMPH, TOGETHER.

[Build Your Cages - Pulse Ultra]
“Sacrifice everything you know, you love”
Terrans and protoss of the world, UNITE!

Together, the terrans and protoss of the world can prevail. We can do it, we will do it. Veni, Vidi, Vici, as “Je” / “I” / “Me” is in fact “Nous” / “We” / “Us”. Together, and only together, cheering for our heroes that are going to the frontline facing THE ENEMIES, only together can we prevail.

Don’t you hear this sound? That’s the sound of THE ENEMIES striking their keyboards with their fists. Don’t mock Creator, as he will help US make the Dark, Serral, Reynor and Rogue strike their keyboards. Rogue will be in the military during Katowice you say? Maybe, maybe, but he will FEEL the wrath of our CHAMPIONS when they demolish his fellow zergs.

+ Show Spoiler +

[No Escape - Darren Korb]
Terrans and protoss of the world, UNITE!
“TONITE WE DINE IN HELL”

Indeed, we will finally triumph, together, united as one. Cheer for our champions. Only with this alliance can we prevail and finally end this zerg domination.

They have stolen so many world championships, but our best weapon is to remind them of that fact. They are impostors. You think Reynor is fast? Well he is fast at fixing his Windows registry to ABUSE the OVERPOWERED race that he plays. You think that he is a good protoss? It was a trick to make other protoss feel weaker. But they are STRONGER than THE ENEMIES. herO is better than Serral will ever be, as Serral is THEIR LEADER.

Clem is better than Dark has ever been, as Dark is THEIR LEADER.
Maru is better than Reynor will ever be, as Maru is my champion, your champion, our champion.


+ Show Spoiler +

[Face in the Dark (ft. Panther) - City Wolf]
Terrans and protoss of the world, UNITE!

Creator is better than Serral will ever be, as Creator needs to micro. Repeat these words until they believe it. Even though they STOLE championships with their IMBA race (thanks Ryung for showing us the TRUTH and guiding US all this time).
Remind them that they are impostors, as that’s what they are, impostors. You think Serral is a cold killer and does not care that US random terrans and protoss think about him? Think again: reading a negative comment about oneself is said to be 10* more impactful for the brain than reading a similarly weighted positive comment.

Repeat after me: THE ENEMIES are IMPOSTORS. Mizenhauer said it best: the emperor has no clothes. They are frauds. They can only win when their race is absurdly OVERPOWERED, their biggest WEAKNESS are the other IMPOSTORS.

Terrans and protoss of the world, UNITE!
Together, the terrans and protoss of the world can prevail. We can do it, we will do it. Veni, Vidi, Vici, as “Je” / “I” / “Me” is in fact “Nous” / “We” / “Us”. Together, and only together, cheering for our heroes that are going to the frontline facing THE ENEMIES, only together can we prevail.

WE WILL PREVAIL. Hear me out, WE WILL PREVAIL. Didn’t you enjoy herO winning? Didn’t you enjoy Bunny playing his heart out? Terran and protoss fans are not enemies. THE ENEMIES are the zergs and their leaders.

[Pépite Stadium - Fonka & La Kok’]
Terrans and protoss of the world, UNITE!
French: “Le projet commence. Indépendance”

We will win together. Everywhere you can write, reddit, TL dot net, everywhere. Remind THE IMPOSTORS that they are that, impostors. Any terran, any protoss can do anti widow mine micro. Any terran, any protoss can hold one key to produce a bazillion units, setup flanks and then go take a sip of coffee after a-clicking while OUR HEROES, OUR CHAMPIONS, have to micro their heart out just to be barely cost effective.

[Destruction of Us - Mr.Kitty]
Their greatest fear is to be discovered. They know deep inside that they are IMPOSTORS, and they are scared that everyone will ultimately realize it. Even though terran and protoss are HEROES, we have to play a broken game. Our biggest weapon is psychological though: it is hope, kindness and friendship.

Terrans and protoss of the world, UNITE!
Their greatest fear is to be discovered. THE ENEMIES have stronger weapons, but their biggest weakness is that they know, deep inside, that they are IMPOSTORS. They can bleed, they showed they can bleed. And if they can bleed, we can kill them. We can make them extinct at IEM Katowice 2023. Let’s unite friends, let’s eradicate this race from the surface of Liquipedia. Let’s erase that red, let’s finally have some blue or green for a change.
TOGETHER, TOGETHER, PROTOSS AND TERRANS, BE UNITED. As they are THE ENEMIES.

+ Show Spoiler +

[Psycho Killer - Talking Heads]
Terrans and protoss of the world, UNITE!

Once fear has been instilled in their heads, as they are THE ENEMIES, once we have instilled in their soul that they are IMPOSTORS, only then can we beat them despite playing utterly weaker races.

TOGETHER, PROTOSS AND TERRANS, SING, SING FOR OUR HEROES.
Sing for herO, sing for Clem, sing for Maru, sing for Creator, sing for NightMare, sing for Bunny, sing for ShoWTimE, sing for MaxPax even if he is not there, sing for Spirit the hometown hero, sing for Harstem, cheer for them.
Everytime you see THE ENEMIES, remind them that they are IMPOSTORS. Only then, only then, can we prevail despite playing the weaker races.

Together, let’s unite. Together, we can do it. Together, we can prevail. Together, we will prevail. Let’s unite. Let’s unite my friends let’s unite, oh let’s unite my friends. Let’s win this war. Let’s unite. Let’s unite, let’s unite, let’s unite. Together we can prevail versus the impostors, together we can make THE ENEMY go extinct. Together we can drink their tears in joy. Together. Together. Let’s unite. Let’s win IEM Katowice 2023.

+ Show Spoiler +

[Mask Off - Future]
Don’t you hear this sound? That is the sound of our victory. “Mask off”.
Don’t you hear this sound? That is the sound of our MORAL superiority.
Don’t you hear this sound? That is the heartbeat of OUR ENEMIES, once fear has been instilled inside of their hearts.
As they know, they know, DEEP INSIDE THEM, that they are IMPOSTORS.

Let’s win this war, fellow protoss and terrans of the world. Let’s unite, let’s unite, let’s finally take what is OURS. TOGETHER.

Only together can we prevail. I am merely the messenger, you are the heroes. You will carry OUR HERO(ES) towards victory. As together we can and will prevail. Together we will prevail.

Together.

Terrans and protoss of the world, UNITE!

Very good read. I expected "terran" to be formatted in blue and "protoss" in green - matching their color in liquipedia.

Everything else is on point.

J'ACCUSE!

TL.net

Will you, in my gratitude for the benevolent welcome you once did me on your website, have the concern of your well earn glory and let me tell you that your stars, since then so happy, is threatened with the most shameful, the most indelible of stain.

You have came out safe and sound of the low slanders of match-fixing, you have conquered the hearts of Koreans fanboys. You appear radiant in the apotheosis that was the alliance of BW and SC2 fans and you prepare yourself to preside over the solemn triumph of our world championship, that will crown our great dozen years of work, truth and liberty. But what stain on your name - I was gonna say on your n*zy mods reign - is this revolting Scarlett affair!

My duty is to speak, I cannot be an accomplice. My nights would be haunted by the specter of the innocent who expiates there, in the most horrendous of protoss torture, a crime she never committed.

J'ACCUSE! Grand Guru Waxangel of voluntarily turning a blind eye to the slanders committed by the Power rank of his underling against North America for a decade. I accuse him of hosting and encouraging, in the pages of this very website, an inexcusable number of GSL elitist and Kpop enthusiasts, just to drown the irrefutable fact that NA players are the best but just a bit unlucky.

J'ACCUSE! Former minister of Korean assimilation Apollo of creating a complex apparatus with the sole purpose of creating the mirage of rivalry between the morally irreproachably TossImba Scarlett and the equally noble Neeb.

J'ACCUSE! General Masa of the first Toronto brigade of working tirelessly to torture, both physically and psychologically, Scarlett with proxy rax under the secret orders of the Korean terran command.

And finally, J'ACCUSE! TL writer Poopi for his blatant disregard for the truth, for his manipulative tirade in which every words serve only to obscure, for trying to create a world that pits against each other Zergs, Protoss, and Terrans of North America. I denounce his effort to selfishly distract the People from the fact that Clem couldn't win against a can of Hot6 if it played terran, that half of the EU player base is just youtuber doing meme build against each other for quick views and that EU has been hard carry by Serral for half a decade. The People have seen the crowd of Atlanta, they have heard the roar of North American partisans that echoed in the halls and shook the column of that pagan temple of lust and pride that is European Starcraft. We will not be so blind as to not see past the thin veil he so desperately waves.


As for the people I accuse, I do not know them, I have never seen them (except maybe like the back of Masa at a DH MTL once? Not sure), I have for them neither grudge nor hatred. They are for me only entities, spirits of Starcraft malfeasance. And the act I accomplish here is but a revolutionary way to haste the explosion of NA chants and Scarlett just Katowice triumph.

I have only a single passion, that of light, in the name of NA who has suffered so much and deserved happiness. My inflamed protestation is but the cry of Feardragon soul. Let them dare to put me in time ban and let the case be of Scarlett and North American greatness play out in the open at Katowice.

I wait.
