Please, if you are not staff, don't answer questions in this thread, even if you think you know the answer. Also, please take complains about bans, question about TL as a site, etc to the Website Feedback Forum. |

I honestly didnt think people wanted to see me stream ^_^ Also I tend to play 3-4 games tops and then take breaks because my work for Liquid is spread out over the whole day and it's very rare that I just sit for 10 games in a row and play.
Working full-time in eSports doesn't really have set hours because of the many regions and how interactive you sometimes have to be.

How does one get a featured blog (if we're allowed to know the answer to this question)?
At first I thought they were individually approved, but then I thought that the blogger just needed to average a 4+ rating and perhaps a certain number of entries, but I'm not sure anymore 
Thanks in advance ^^
Edit: ah thanks, and yeah seeker also PM'd me the original OP so I get it now.

Could you go into more detail about what you do, day-to-day, in terms of working in Liquid/esports in general?

How can someone have 7% of posts on the closed section..? That's like hundreds of posts with that 5k post count.

Is there any way an admin could remove my 3 day wait time for new posts? I want to create a thread for our up-comming LAN we're hosting in San Diego:
http://www.meetup.com/lanparty-158/events/79427022/
However the 3 day limit is going to keep me from doing that and I dont want to forget about it.

Hello. I am currently working on a map portfolio, and I was curious about how many images are allowed on one page of TL (wouldn't want to go over the limit by accident).

On a daily basis most of my job is communication. We play a lot of tournaments -- in fact we've played 72 LAN events since April 2011 which is averaging 4,5 events a month. On top of that we have online tournaments, such as NASL, team leagues and a lot of other stuff, you know the drill. So that's a lot of communication I need to have with these tournaments (getting schedules, reschedules, talking to them, making sure we get the invites, who to send where and what). Especially NASL takes a lot of time and is always a hazzle to get done. And then Nazgul and I of course do all the preparation for our teamleagues with help from a few others (HayprO, Plexa and tree.hugger especially).
The things that often takes the most time in running a team is definitely the process from where you get presented a piece of information and figuring out what you actually want to do with it -- what would be right for the team, players, sponsors at these moments. In general there's a lot of evaluating different things. A thing like this is yesterday or two days ago -- frankly I don't remember -- we came to know that DreamHack Winter 2012 and the next season of Code S RO8 is clashing. We have two players we hope that would be able to be at both places, so this is something we had to think about and talk to some people about to see if something could be done (they're working on it!). While this is a no-brainer which tournament we'd choose, these are some of the things we have to take care of on a daily basis.
Also there's the players. While we have a very close relationship all of us in TeamLiquid and everybody is very close with Nazgul and also talks to him on a daily basis, he's a busy man. That means a lot of the communication about all topics goes through me. There's a lot of daily motivation, talks and just general StarCraft stuff. If I'm gone for half a day -- which I don't remember when happened the last time -- there'd be around 2,000 or more Skype messages in our team chat!
At the end of each month, there's sponsors to inform of what has been going on; media, stats, tournaments, etc. So there's reports to fill out.
Then I of course also do all our travel -- flights and hotels. While this sounds very simple, it is not always as simple as we want it to be because players don't only travel to all these events, but there are visas to be taken care of, there are other tournaments, where can we save money and trying to plan ahead in this business can be a bitch.
The part I like the most about this job is the general communication with the team -- what you guys would call coaching and managing. This is still on a very basic amateur level, but we do our best. We all have different backgrounds and have all competed at a high level and can bring something to the table, but I really do like this part. It's especially amazing since the we coolest team in all of StarCraft.
There are probably something I'm forgetting right now, but this is about it and describes what I do pretty well.
