LoL, while popular, isn't a competitive game and isn't in the spirit of TL, and we've seen 10 screenshots from DotA2. Why not add a CS:GO forum? imo these should be kept as subforums of Sports and Games and left at it. i disagree with things like it "isn't a competitive game" (good luck defending that logically. terrible competitive game maybe, but it is a game played competitively nonetheless), but otherwise yea, i don't get why these should get their own subforum. dota2 especially makes absolutely no sense to have as a forum, there's literally nothing to talk about other than threads that would be posted in general about announcements to the game. LoL community uses the Riot forums very heavily and the only reason i can see adding these forums is because of esports hype. that's kind of silly if you consider that you don't have a fighting game section or a shooter section. i do get that probably many people on TL play LoL, i played LoL for a while too, but a lot of people on TL probably play fighters as well. the distinctions that would make LoL sub-forum worthy over fighting games especially (i can maybe understand shooters since the genre as a part of esports is slowly fading) are virtually arbitrary to me unless there's something i'm not considering | ||

Either you aren't a DotA player at all and you don't know that DotA 2 is just gonna be DotA 1 with better graphics, better game engine, and a more in depth online system, or your actually hoping that DotA 2 will have the awesome new online features that Valve says it will. DotA 2 is a weird case where basically the game WILL live up to the hype because it's essentially the same game as before. Anyone who hypes up DotA 2 is hyping up DotA 1. | ||

For the LoL part at least, the $5 million prize pool is across a year long season, and won't all be actual money (since they say "prize pool"), so I wouldn't worry so much about SC2 considering that's only for 1 weekend event in comparison. | ||

I am actually glad that there are these individual sub-forums on TeamLiquid to discuss the game, instead of using the original LoL forums which is filled with total children sometimes. TL will actually show what is good about LoL and DotA 2 and people who represent the game properly instead of constant bitching that you find in game, maybe it is a step towards change in the general LoL community. I doubt it though. | ||

Adding subforums on the sidebar isn't something that's taken even remotely lightly (I've been wanting them for the SC2 Tournies section for a while), so something like creating a subforum for a game with 4 threads seems pretty 'out-there' to me. I'm not particularly saying it's bad, it just seems awkward as hell. | ||

Another game comes to mind that gave us a huge influx of posters who trolled TL forums... Starcraft 2 anyone? Live Report, Strategy, Balance, and Females in eSports threads have all taken a blow. And there are a few BW exclusive players that feel quite overwhelmed by the SC2 posters and dislike shift of TL's focus. However, over time TL's mods have been clearing out the rubbish posters and maintaining their standards and overall things are starting to stablize- and if it hasn't it will. With LoL and Dota2, the TL standards won't change, but they might need a whole lot more mods (just like when SC2 beta was announced till now.) | ||

It looks like they realized they can get a shit ton more viewers and users if they add these forums. I'm not sure if this is a good idea considering many of the players of LoL and Dota already have set homes for these types of games. Trying to draw users from there onto here when this site is mainly SC and SC2, not sure if it will work or not and good luck to Teamliquid.net for their efforts! | ||

Else: I don't care, add as many forums as you like (it will most probably not change the TL community), but these games are so boring^^ | ||

If you have no interest in those games just don't go there. I also don't go to the BW forum or the SC2 forums besides General and Tourneys. But that doesn't mean I don't want them there. It only means I have nothing there I relate to at this point. | ||

I now have to scroll on my laptop to see the first threads of the SC2 Trourneys forum :p You could give "Sports and games" an own section between BW and Blogs or something. The General Forum pushes the SC2 and BW Forums quite far down. Specially if you think about adding other games somewhen... | ||

i don't like it -.- tl.net was a sc:bw community site (the most awesome one) then tl.net went to become an sc2 community site (logical step, i disliked it for reasons tht don't belong here and are totally subjective) now tl.net is becoming a general gaming community site?! ...please don't ^^ | ||

Starcraft 2 costs about 50 bucks, the exact amount of money that's required to filter out all those kids playing from internet cafe's somewhere in the balkans. I really hope DotA 2 will not be F2P so I can discuss everything DotA 2 related HERE, on my favorite site, without some brainless douche calling me names because he doesn't agree with me. | ||

Might hurt a little less if BW wasn't aaaall the way at the bottom, but that's just a small thing. I also see TL's point of view though- they have a viable business here. Resisting alteration could kill that business. However, I really hope that the quality and strongly personal attitude of the website and it's writers/mods/admins etc doesn't alter too far as the whole thing grows. That would alienate many older members, (which I am, despite my post count). I'm sure the DOTA/LoL players will love this though. It's an intelligent move. | ||

SC2 is at the forefront because Team Liquid is a SC2 pro team not a BW team. SC2 is also an internationally played game where BW events are all in korea. TL is an international site, so it's only natural that SC2 is the main game represented here. | ||

I feel like HoN + DotA + DotA 2 Could share a forum, since they're all very similar. But with the entirely different heropool, map, gameplay (to a degree) as well as business model. LoL has quite a few fundamental differences, that warrants different sub-forums just as much as SC2 vs Brood War. I feel like the current situation is pretty ideal. And on that note, thanks for the sub-forum! | ||

While the idea of treating the e-sports community members like babies and putting them in one cage is a great idea, TL.net might not be the best cage for them. Maybe in a couple of months we will see DotA2/LoL featured stream on the right sidebar, DotA2/LoL news and headlines, etc. This might be good, but its better on a different site. Keep an eye on that word "Starcraft" on the site banner as it might soon disappear. -_- <3 TL | ||

You might want to recall your TL history. SC2 is only at the forefront because of circumstance of foreigners jumping from BW to SC2 and all of TL's players transitioning as well. For an extremely long time it was only Brood War that was hosted with, this site lived and breathed BW, and would have not existed if not for the presence of the Korean scene. If TL wants to become a pro-gaming and e-Sports portal, then it has to put all e-Sport related fora under a single banner THEN split the different pro-gaming scenes under it. | ||

Who outside of korea actually plays BW for money? I'm not even trying to compare SC2 to BW but all I'm saying is that SC2 is clearly favored among people outside of korea and this website is catered to that crowd. Yea BW is a great game and will always live on as a great competitive game, but TL is playing SC2 for money so it only makes sense that it has the most attention. The site was built on BW but is carrying on as a SC2 website. The BW section will always be there. | ||

It's about the fact that a link to the forum for an unreleased game unrelated to Starcraft is pretty much in everyone's face, but to access the SPL grand final live report thread you have to go all the way down to Blogs basically. -_- | ||

I would for example remove the entire SC2 section, Tech Support and BW strategy, LOL, Fan Clubs, User streams and Liquid Team News from my side bar. While considering removing some other sections as well. Will post a suggestion in website feedback. Oh and I like the Dota 2 section. Will probably use it a bit now and in the future (if the game is good). | ||

I'd like to be able to remove it from the sidebar if such a thing is possible (I really disagree with the way the game has been received recently; I won't bash it or anything but I'd hate to see its name everyday on my favorite website) LoL was not just chosen recently. we used to have a thread just like HoN in sports and games. it moved extremely quickly and essenitially was always at the top. fakesteve(or some other mod) decided it would be worth it to make it into a hidden subforum which we have had for a long time now. I dont see how there should be any more reason to have a dota2 subforum than a LoL one that already has a devoted TL community. personally Im indifferent to having the subforums in the sidebar or hidden. doesnt really matter to me. | ||

All that BW fans are asking for is that there's some flexibility in viewing the website (e.g. having the BW section before SC2 as a selectable option; being able to choose which game sections are easily view-able etc.) instead of feeling consigned to the dust-heap despite their presence being the force that let TL have a solid base to build what the SC2 section is today. It's just an appeal for usability from a segment of the community that feels marginalized after having done so much. | ||

Also, one event, even if it is for 1million dollars, does not justify its own forum section. However if we're going to have these, I'd like to request a CS 1.6 section, since that at least is a longtime e-sport worth noting. | ||
