TSL3 Website Released!
April 7th, 2011 21:00 GMT
![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/Hot_Bid/TSL3/TSL3_Logo_Banner_1.png)
Now hear this! Just in time for the Round of 16: The Official PokerStrategy.com TSL3 Website
![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/R1CH/TSL3SiteBanner.png)
Alright, so what have we got here?
Fully Interactive Results Bracket
Your one stop destination for tournament results and VODs. Go ahead, don't be shy. Click anywhere on the brackets. Whoa, is that an awesome pop-up VOD player there? Also, it's completely spoiler free due to our revolutionary new "Show Results" check box technology. Because here at TL, we know spoilers are serious business.
Dedicated News Archive
While I know GSL can be pretty damn hot sometimes, and I'm sure everyone has the utmost respect for the OSL, everyone knows the TSL is the mother lovin' business. So much so, that it deserves its own separate news archive. We've got interviews for those who want MC's latest lecture in pwnology, match-up analysis going on so you can impress your friends at your weekly TSL viewing parties, and result wrap-ups so you can experience your favorite matches again in the form of an epic tales woven by the finest bards.
Fully Actualized Schedule
The lack of an easily accessible TSL3 broadcast schedule has been a thorn in the side of jet-setters and world-movers everywhere. Billions of dollars in profits have been lost, and dozens of populist revolutions thwarted due to the sudden realization of "Oh god, TSL is on today? DROP EVERYTHING."
No more, my friends. With our convenient, one-click schedule available online, you can easily see when your favorite players will be playing and plan accordingly. No longer will your weekend plans be abruptly canceled, even if it was just a chicken and waffle brunch.
VODs
For your grandparents, who still haven't figured out how to use Youtube.
Player Profiles
Remember that time a few weeks ago, when you were passionately arguing with your friend about how Adelscott was gonna walk all over MVP? Your pal said "MVP won a GSL, can't beat that!" And you began to reply "Oh yeah, well Adelscott's PvT win ratio is... pretty good... I think... yeah... I mean, he's won a ton of tournaments! Like... that thing... and that other one in Europe... and, uh, yeah."
We're sorry the official TSL3 site wasn't out then, because then you could have easily navigated to the players page and pulled out profiles for all 32 TSL players. With links to our extensive TLPD database, every important statistic about the TSL players is available to you.
Also, I suspect I'm not alone in that I never tire of staring lasciviously at Glider's amazing Pro-gamer portraits.
TSL Website Testimonials
"Before I was just a bronze league newb, but thanks to PokerStrategyTSL3.com, now I can smile at Idra in Grand Master! PokerStrategyTSL3.com, you're such a pal!  "
-Scott Haussman, Lexington
"I used to wonder what my purpose in life was, and wandered from place to place trying to find the answers to all my questions. Just when I was about to resign myself to a meaningless void of nihilistic existence, I found PokerStrategyTSL3.com. Now, everything is clear to me, and I have realized my calling in life. Thanks PokerStrategyTSL3.com!"
-Hassan Khosa, Lahore
"As a kid, I was always something of a troublemaker. When I finally snapped out of it after spending too many years in the wrong crowd, I found my life to be a mess with no future prospects. Thankfully, a friend introduced me to PokerStrategyTSL3.com. Now I'm enrolled in a local university, have an internship at a respectable company, and have a bright future ahead of me. Thank you PokerStrategyTSL3.com, I owe everything to you!"

It's too late! Way too late! Why couldn't this be out a week ago. /cry
Awesome site. I'm glad it finally exists, I was getting tired of having to go to Liquipedia to find the bracket.
|
The page its just sick!!
Awesome! Thanks guys!!
|
|
|
I've been especially waiting for an updated bracket so this is super awesome. i also really like that you can click on the bracket to load up the VOD's. Epic.
|
This is pretty awesome.
Is this going to be solely used for TSL 3, or will it be modified to accomodate other TL events in the future?
As of right now it looks amazing, definitely showcasing the commitment and high dedication that TL has to it's events.
It's things like this that make me proud to say I'm a part of TL.
|
Stop making cool things to play with so I can play SC2. ARGH!
|
Nice you must have heard tyler say weres the TSL3 site on sotg :D
|
Oh thank god, I was having so much trouble even finding the brackets to find out matchups.
|
Looks pretty cool, a nice link to give to people who I want to introduce to TSL without giving sending them to this huge site !
btw, found a bug: the 'Show results' checkbox of ro16 does not work

I was wandering the Internets aimlessly for years, pondering about my existence and place in the world. Feeling like ESPORTS is right around the corner but not sure how to find it.
Then I stumbled upon PokerStrategyTSL3.com and it was all right there before my eyes! My life is whole now, my being complete.
Thank you PokerStrategyTSL3.com for finding me and guiding me, it is never too late.
|
YES!!!!!! thanks TL, I was so happy when I heard about this on SOTG
|
BEAUTIFUL! It looks so good. Thanks and congrats on the success! Maybe Liquid should "help" with NASL
|
Was this Tyler's idea? (SotG hehehe)
Awesome work ^^

Hooray! This made my day. Thank you TeamLiquid.
|
Nice looking website.
This explains TLPD,
And why it was changed.
|
Why can't TL.net be this sexy?
|
|
|
Totally Tyler's idea, you guys should sponsor him.
Great work once again guys, can't wait for the weekend.
|
|
|
|
|
Very convenient. I hated having to search for threads or go to the liquipedia to find brackets or other information.
Much appreciated.
|
|
|
Thanks for the website TL! Much easier to find everything TSL related. TL fighting!
|
Shit Just Got Real.
~Some Guy from Some Action Movie
|
Wow im so amazed. It looks great. Convenient also, not some random look good page.
|
This is amazing. The work Team Liquid puts into eSports is just incredible, this website is so "noob friendly" as someone said :D
Sad to see only 3 zerg players in the round of 16. I am definately rooting for Sen or WhiteRa to win this thing, although I cant shake this sneaky suspicion that MC is gonna tear up the place given the chance. WhiteRa, go for the throat man!
|
Spent a few minutes clicking around on stuff, and just want to say: hot damn that is a well-designed website.
|
Ah, so that's why I never got a reply on my website feedback thread.
Awesome!
|
|
|
|
|
New site is great but I am sure people desperately need really fresh information - I`m waiting for the pre-match interviews but there are still none of them although it is already Friday.
|
Wow, awesome work. Looking really nice on the first glimpse.
|
|
|
Nice testimonials lol...it's like they are were all written by me

Whoa really nicely done the brackets are pretty fancy.. I imagine there wass some wizard powers involved
|
|
|
Does anyone feel like Day9 was set up to say that about not finding the bracket easier? The timing just seems way too appriopriate :> Anyway, looks absolutely awesome
Chill edit: I'm staff and I never knew this was coming so I think it's safe to assume Day didn't know it was coming
|
|
|
After losing 50 games in the bronze league, I became pro at SC2 and now I have a sick house in Korea where I can practise all day with my Korean buddies.
|
|
|
Holy Sexy!!!! man this is so sweet. Bookmarked BABY!!
|
|
|
Great Website! Is there gonna be reps for the tourney at all? Just wondering.
|
This is amazing!
I especially love the schedule and interactive bracket.
One thing you might want to include on the site is a breakdown of the prizes. Replays would also be good.
|
what a fantastic website. great work TL
|
Great job guys, thank you.
|
really great site, kudos TL.
|
Cool idea for a website based around it. In a good way, it takes the tournament away from a "forum setting" and makes it feel a lot more professional.
|
That site is sweet sweet nice.
P.S. Can I also get a 'Chill edit' up in my post?

Now i got a chill edit in my post! kind of...
this is nice! i believe it will help a lot of people who aren't regulars to tl.net finding what they look for
|
Nice job, Teamliquid! Looks good.
|
Love these sites, thanks for continuing it!
|
Awesome site, but where's the prize pool breakdown?
|
Are those mockeries at Testimonials? Its seems like it but you can never tell when the TSL is involved ;P
|
It's now my homepage. Now I don't have to use the Liquipedia page.
|
Very cool, nice design work guys.
|
Wow... that's a really beautiful website
|
Ok, wow. That site is just really well made. Super well designed and pleasant to use, thank you so much! =D.
|
guys, you can make chill edits yourselves...
Chill edit: im staff and i dissaprove of the forging of chill edits.
|
Awesome!!
|
Bit late perhaps, but awesome site so that makes up for it
|
Almost as awesome of a design as teamliquid.net , very nice!
|
Very user friendly and clean design! Well played.
|
Sick, maybe a bit late but its layout looks alot similar to here. Very sweet
|
Hell, it's about time!
Great site with easy access to the information. <3
|
Awesome, I love it. Everything at the same place. Nice

Great, thanks. Keep up the good work.

Each day I wake up and punch the bacon out of a pig. This bacon is actually cooked to perfection by the friction of leaving the pig's body. After I'm done with my morning bacon, I insult my bathroom until it cries hard enough to take a shower. Later, I push my car to class since driving takes too long, and besides, I could use the exercise. Upon arrival, I slap the professor and they in turn thank me as the whole class cartwheels out of the room to give me time to learn important things. I then brandish my *insert portable device here* and enjoy a good browse of TLnet.
After each eventful morning, TLnet does not disappoint (unless you stumble into a(n) (im)balance thread). After so long of reading, the staff does such a great job. Thank you TL for being so awesome.
♥♥♥

The website looks AMAZING. Automatically bookmarked in my handy-dandy Chrome browser.
Actually, the only criticism I can make is that the TSL1 and TSL2 websites had a bit more personality to them. TSL3 looks really clean, intuitive, and professional, but I have a nagging feeling that maybe it looks too clean compared to the TSL1 and TSL2 websites. I sorta miss the custom fonts of the TSL1 website and the really cool background fanart for the TSL2 site.
Otherwise, the TSL3 website looks absolutely phenomenal. I'm really digging all the features.
|
Great work, looks awesome.
|
Amazing site, looks great! TSL production quality is insane.
|
Its a great site!
And the design is EPIC! it really is.
But goody didnt win 2:0, he won 2:1. The 'Show Results'-Feature says otherwise.
Fix it! =)

I was going to send this as a PM to the guys who made the website but i may as well stick it on here. I usually just lurk from afar but sometimes i feel like certain things need to be said, because otherwise the people that deserve to know it may never realise what they're doing.
I'd just like to say, to whomever/everyone concerned who created the TSL3 website. Thank you for setting one up again like you did in the TSL2, which ironically was the first tournament i ever really followed (I found this place when watching the TeamLiquid attack on youtube so was a bit of a late comer.) And thank you obviously for another TSL.
I still think to this day it was the thing that made me change my opinion of Starcraft from being just another game that i would go back to now and again to play for fun, to wanting to play it more competitively.
The last couple of weekends i've had friends around for a few beers over the weekend and so put the TSL3 on the TV downstairs. I thought after watching Day1 and seeing it looking so sharp that maybe they'd enjoy it. It was a bit of a shot in the dark but I was just going to go upstairs and leave them if they didn't anyways so it was worth a try :p. And although i had to explain A LOT of things to them. Thanks to the commentators and the quality of content, they really enjoyed it plus picked it up quite easily! In the end i was even going through the past histories/results of the players that played. Even my girlfriend watched it ffs. These are people who have never been interested in really playing non-console games never mind watching others play them over a stream. Heck it even made one go buy the game and he's just completed the campaign. Unbelievably i had to lend him my old Brood War and Starcraft disc because he thought the campaign was so great and i just needed to show him how poor the plot/lore was compared to the brilliance of the original .
The one problem i did have though was showing them how to navigate around this site to find the brackets, who won the previous games, VODs etc... Because i think it's important for them to at least see the tournament develop almost like a World Cup. I really wanted them to get the full experience like i did a couple of years back.
This website literally provides everything they could need though in terms of content! VODS, Games, Profiles, images of the players so they can at least identify some, countdowns so they know exactly when to watch the next games, the lot. I even love how the site doesn't look generic, it looks organic and the layout/scheme flows very nicely (the drawings of the players from glider are out of this world btw and go with the whole site in general so well) and that's coming from a Graphic Designer.
So thanks TeamLiquid, I'm not usually one to be a suck up but i feel you deserve my merits. Thanks for all those years ago doing the events that got me into the scene in the first place. And helping me maybe get a few more on board in the same way you got me.
Who knows, I might finally have somebody to play 2v2's with when i'm bored that isn't Random soon XD.
|
I'm glad to see you're keeping up the tradition of the TSL websites. They make TSL "feel" more legit.

Awesome. The schedule thing is what I needed most.

wow that site is amazing. tl goes above and beyond yet again. really well done!

omg. these brackets with the show result thing are craaaaaaaaaazy! Thank you for this ! :D:D Any chance that the main webpage will change the weekends of TSL3 and have an embedded ustream?

Aww poopy. My stupid school internet updated its security this afternoon, and now i cant get on to that website because it is associated with poker. At least i was able to get on for an hour earlier, but man this sucks. Lucky i am leaving school in 2 weeks, Man i cant wait for summer!
|
Website looks gorgeous. Great work!
|
|
|
Round of 32 / Round of 16 and the Show Results check box at the top of the brackets should be much bigger. Makes the experience easier to digest.
|
Ah, they had drawn pictures of the players back then as well! In color! TSL3 is in Black & White!
We have gone back in time! :O
|
does this mean there will be tsl's on a more regular basis? because it seems strange to make a website just for tsl 3 if it ends in like a month and then doesnt come back for a year+
|
|
|
What can I say? Love you TL <3
The website is awesome. Good job!
|
|
|
looks great.. only critique is it looks like a poker tournament.

We've always made website for TSL's.
|
Awesome stuff!
I really love the bracket feature.
GJ TL! You're the best!
|
I like the layout. Seems rather professional. I think the SC2 scene will grow even bigger as time goes because of the TSL and many other big tournaments like MLG and the GSL.
|
|
|
|
|
thank you so much, much easier having a website, watching the vods now seeing that youtube is only thing that seems to work on work computers, cant watch streams at all
Edit: Actually anyone know why they arent relaeasing the replays of these games???
|
thank you so much for creating the site, SO much easier to focus on TSL now :D
|
Wicked sick site, nicely done
|
I had a look, and this is awesome! Big thanks to TL for the great tournament and website to go with it.
|
Amazing, too bad its sc2. Well done anyway!
|
VODs
For your grandparents, who still haven't figured out how to use Youtube.
My grandfather is going to be pleased!
|
Wow, amazing stuff. Great job guys! <3
|
This is so great. Excellent job! 
|
Can we get statistics on if ANYONE is still in the running for perfect bracket?
|
Hell, it's about time :-P
|
If MLG Dallas scored 2 on a scale of 1-10 in terms of presentation and usability, TSL3 has to be a 14!
Great Website, love the bracket-viewer with the linked vods.
|
Very very nice! TL always brings it!
|
this gives me such a BIG HARD ONE
|
The design of this site blows away the sites devoted to MLG, IEM, NASL, IGN and GOM!
The only thing I could add is that for the Rd. of 16 I wish the names were links that updated the player profile box in the top right. Otherwise such a nice layout!
|
For the love of god, PLEASE PLEASE fix it so the video doesn't close if I accidentally click off screen...

So can we download the replays?
No, for a variety of reasons replays of official TSL3 games will not be available for download. Maintaining the name of the PokerStrategy.com TSL3 is not possible if we allow downloading of replays from the tournament, thus replays are not released. We cannot release the replays without relinquishing creative control of the tournament to third party casters who may or may not chose to properly credit sponsorship and tournament organizers. Keeping replays internal also keeps some level of privacy for the players who come up with new builds specifically for the tournament.
This and many other questions are answered in the TSL3 Frequently Asked Questions thread.

Just to note, the background image doesn't scale correctly if you are on a 1920x1200 screen, or larger. My guess is that it was made for 1680x1050 screens.
Here is a screenshot for what i mean.
