Scrap station isn't really zerg favored anymore.... But LT the drops can be bad at the cliffs yes but its not that bad especially compared to maps like Delta/Steppes. | ||

I'm disappointed about the tournament, sure, but I think there's something larger for me lurking behind this -- maybe I'm just some nostalgic conservative at heart, but I really don't like the direction teamliquid is going with its intended vision of growth and expansion. I think I liked everthing here a little bit better when it felt like a smaller, tight-knit community of people who loved some obscure ten year old game. With the BW scene starting to feel pretty different to me now -- everyone talking about and playing SC2, considerable stream issues for brood war matches, players retiring, teams dissolving, the whole match fixing scandal, not to mention Blizzard vs. Kespa and all that related shit -- even subtle changes on TL (like the facebook/twitter/youtube buttons, TL getting a sponsor, a headquarters in New York) have been increasingly making me feel like both the game and community I love are gradually becoming something I will no longer enjoy. I love broodwar and I love TL and I'd hate to see it ruined by well-intentioned visions of growth and progress. Remains to be seen. Happy new year everyone. | ||

I'm happy to see these big decisions made for TSL3, and I certainly hope Team Liquid continues to be the face of the international gaming community. I think it's doing what it takes to make that happen. | ||

Are you concerned with the brackets for the TL Opens filling up too fast? The Craft Cup, a $20 tournament, caps out at 1024 players. Why would a satellite to a $34000 tournament cap out at 512? | ||

The second one was epic and I expect the third to even surpass it :-D What I am wondering though about the point system: Being 16th twice is worth more than being fifth once? I understand the idea behind the system (reward players who play constantly well), but I wonder if e.g. placing fifth isn't actually worth more than scoring 16th twice. | ||

5th -8thjust means lost in 1/4-finals (round 6 in a 512 player bracket) and 9th-16th means lost in 1/8-finals (round 7 in a 512 player bracket). so all it actually means is that reaching the 6th round twice is worth more than reaching the 7th round once, which I think is fair, as it rewards consistency over having a lucky draw once | ||

Koreans/Chinese were not allowed to participate in previous TSLs because of the skill of the former and the lag issues of the latter. BUT, SEn and F91 were allowed to play from outside of China. So, I am asking, why don't we allow Chinese and Koreans to play IF they can communicate with the admins and other players? | ||

I guess this is more of a question to gomtv's side but if it does count, that just makes winning even better. | ||
