Do TL admins even play StarCraft? What races do they use? What kind of strategies do they use? How good are they?
NO MORE QUESTIONS! It's time for answers! Join Team Liquid admins as they partake in this tournament and see for yourself, just how devoted to StarCraft our admins truly are!

Team Liquid New York Headquarters

Losers' Punishment:
Every single admin on the losing team will have all their administrative privileges and power on TL stripped from them for a total of 48 hours. (So yes, 2 day temp bans are a possibility) They will basically become a regular everyday non-special TL user just like 90% of the people on this site. They will balance whine like never before in Live Report threads. They will create girl blogs and hope that people don't expose their vulnerability. They will get into political discussions and possibly get banned for being stubborn and abrasive. They'll create a one - three line opening post in the SC2 strategy section and quite posibly get warned or banned for not following guidelines. For two whole days, they will no longer be immune to Team Liquid moderation. GET YOUR REPORT BUTTONS READY PEOPLE!

This should be entertaining, to say the least.
Especially if there is good commentary :D

How is this even a competition when R1CH will hack everyone and make their workers kill each other?

This is gonna be wicked, but if there's WoL and HotS why isn't there vanilla SC?

Edit - I'll be really sad if it's April's fools, but it does seem suspect...

Yeah, taking cannons out of Hot_Bid's arsenal must be crippling.

EDIT: I compliment the use of Liquibets.

I don't buy it. April Fools'! But really great effort on this announcement, even putting it in Liquibet for the full deception.

also, go Team A !

This is an elaborate April Fools day joke, but a really good idea. Only thing it is missing is a round in DOTA2.

Why the heck would Nazgul be playing? He's almost an instant fav in every match-up based on those teams. Also why no Kwark, Eri, Mani, etc.? Go balls deep man.

If this isn't April fools, how is this fair for Team B, Nazgul was a pro, and probably still has way more than enough to bring on the beats.

Making fake threads that promise some quite awesome stuff is just stupid.

Fun tournaments like this where you pitch the admins of X site against each others is great fun to watch.

The point I knew this was fake was when I read it was in New York. And my first thought was how is riptide going to fly to NY from Sri Lanka for this little event? And I realized, I'm so naive.

It wouldn't have to be a LAN event

We should do team reddit versus team liquid. That would probably be more fun xD
