Since the other active thread is cluttered with voting and general questions at the moment, I am creating a place to hold TLCMAT-related discussion similar to lichter’s previous discussion/propaganda thread from Season 1. Here, you may discuss anything about the fabulous people in this contest. Share your favorites, whoever you think will win, or the people that no one should vote for. Additionally, if you are competing, introduce yourself and talk about why you are currently more awesome than anyone else on TL!
The present voting thread can be found here. Rules and nominees can be found here.

I have the stomach flu.  Still I will try my best to get through this round. As mentioned in the nominations thread, I will deliver authentic shirtless programmer pics for each round I advance. Also, my ro48 group is awesome so vote for all of them too. They have all done badass stuff for the community.

Last quarter, it was announced by numerous industry analysts that E-Sports was growing at the best rate. A sign of trust, right? But not for us.
Our forums had a negative growth rate. Who's ever heard of this? It's never been below zero, even when Team Liquid splintered off into different sister sites.
Esports is growing, yet we are shrinking. People can't get quality discussions nor page views any more. The statistics are too horrible to even display in a public thread.
Our enemies are getting stronger and stronger by the day while we as a forum as getting weaker. Even our top quality articles don't reach front page of subreddits.
Our other contestants are all talk, no action. Remember that TL 1.5 update that broke Team Liquid for a couple of days? Sad! When I roll out updates, I hire the best people to test my updates. It costs me peanuts.
Well you need somebody because nothing is going to get done. They will not bring us, believe me, to the promised land of number one esports site. They do not even know how to.
I have been active on twitter talking to people. They ask me "XKCD, what are you going to discuss next?". They don't even talk about Reddit. When was the last time you heard "Reddit's killing us?" They're devaluating their post quality to a level that you wouldn't believe it makes it impossible for our forums to compete.
Impossible.
They're killing us, but you don't hear that from anyone else. You don't hear that from anyone else.
And I read the forums. I watch the discussions and they say "Oh we like it here. Things will get better. All sorts of wonderful things will happen".
But the people want activity. They want to engage in high quality talks while still have their dank memes.
We don't have that folks, we simply don't.
Our forums needs, our forums needs a truly great leader and we need a truly great leader now. We need a leader that wrote The Lombardi Factor. We need a leader that can bring back users, bring back content creation, bring back our community pros, and take care of our seniors.
We need somebody that can take the brand of Team Liquid and make it great again. It's not great.
I will be the greatest activity winner that god ever created, I tell you that.
When I started, I only had a small loan of one Team Liquid account. I work hard, and grew that into being on the Brood War staff and now preside over the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive section.
And these sections under my tutelage have received massive applaud. Many people love my work and the work my sections have done.
But why run for TLCMAT? Because I don't need anyone's pandering. It's nice. I don't need anyone's pandering. I'm using my own shitposting and analytical skills. I'm not using secret staff forums and Skype groups, I'm not using paid fanboys. I'm really awesome.
And by the way, I’m not even saying that to brag. That’s the kind of mindset, that’s the kind of thinking you need for this forum.
We got nothing. We have a dead Liquid Legends forum that is going to collapse, we have SC2 forum which has been bleeding in debt over the last years, we have more problems.
We're going to save it.
We're going to re-energize our forums. We're going to shitpost with the highest quality shitposts. We're going to grow the forums and make it so popular Liquid'Nazgul will come to me and complain "Oh XKCD, the Team Liquid forums are too busy for us to control it".
We must take great care to not allow ourselves to become GosuGamers. We must not become another name in the back of a history books.
Sadly, the Team Liquid forums are dead. But if I get elected winner of TLCMAT Season 3 I will bring it back bigger and better and stronger than ever before, and we will make Team Liquid great again.
Thank you. Thank you very much.

So now this is a bit shitty, me going against Clubfan in the first match, who i do not really want to shit-talk about because he is just so awesome.
Real talk here: Clubfan does a lot of great things on Liquipedia, and we work together all the time.
Therefore: Clubfan and i must prevail and win the group. In case Clubfan and i both make it out of the group, i promise to compile a top 5 of most awesome Liquipedia things ever, from epic pages, over epic extensions to epic saves and awesomeness no one outside of regular Liquipedia contributors ever saw.

That cannot be, for a group of death is a group where the winner of very hard to predict, and it is pretty obvious I'm gonna take the group handily. But good luck to you as well.

update R1CH Qoutes blog and you have my vote.
I have shitty group, SGTK autowin because not only SC2 but because he is the community itself, banjoe again SC2 writer autowin not like anyone has ever read what I've written or even if they have they haven't had much to say anyway(also hurts that I haven't written anything since January), I'd lose to sayle because hes sayle.
on the other hand I can make promises I won't need to keep because I'm going to lose.

That was my promise last year and I didn't get out of groups, besides, rich probably says the least weird things here at the HQ.
