Until the internet gods decide otherwise, THE SITE IS UP as of 13:10KST (TL TIME), 11:10 EST.
FYI, I'm on the lookout for better hosting so this will never happen again. Believe me, if you are frustrated so am I.
More and more interviews are rolling out and I've got a ton more planned over the next couple of weeks.
-InkA: The dollars and cents, the pounds and pence, the mark and the yen. 1,000 miles from home, Inka airs his grievances and declares his drive to succeed professionally.
-Louder: Quiet little monster. The Evil Genius Protoss, the top Protoss in Platinum Div 5, talks about his views on beta: its shortfalls (numerous) and its potential (high). "The more I play it, the more it falls short."
-Chill: The Strategy Czar Shrugs. Chill, TL moderator extraordinaire, talks about the future of SC2 - Koreans, maps, ladders and his own prospects. “I don’t think I’ll miss Brood War" and “I’m not excited" for StarCraft 2."
-PsyonicReaver: Living in the blue glow. As you might imagine, being housemates with gamers like Nyoken, Machine and InkA comes with a lot of StarCraft. Psyonic talks about what life is like in a house full of Brood War players.“Since beta has come out, I’ve only gotten four to five hours of sleep a night.”
Thanks for bearing with me over a shitty day of being down :D
Also, a beta diary from Pride, a WarCraft 3 player and a beta diary from the TL member Motiva.
There have been a couple of problems with scheduling interviews over the last week but next week should bring some marquee names for your perusal.
If there is any problem with the website, let me know and I'll fix it up in a moment.
Finally, don't forget about the interviews with IdrA, Artosis and Morrow.
Also what the hell is going on with Russia? 7-2? Phew. Okay. But anyway, SC2!

You should do an interview with inka about him raging and being generally BM when he loses.

I love your writing!
I just read Chill's interview and found the following point made by Chill to be really interesting (I definitely agree with it too).
The game will evolve to play around it’s strengths. We don’t need to inject micro into it, micro and tactics will develop out of necessity.
EDIT: for context it was to do with complaints regarding things like auto attacking.

Thanks for the interviews, they're really great!

site is up again. for now! oh i love the feeling of not knowing why this is happening 
thanks bockit!

I agree with Louder on all accounts about the Beta. If they keep the micro the way it is right now the game isn't going to be as good as it can be. It's crucial to the success of e-sports that they fix this so that we can go back to being in awe over moves/micro done by top players. There is so little difference possible between two players when they're attacking each other that the games just play out as build order vs build order. Once you're ahead it's really hard to give away your advantage because even if your units get caught off guard they will still do the right thing in battle. Zergling surround and worker micro is something that was so important to the early game of BW that decided games based on how you performed it. That element is completely gone now. If you have enough Zerglings you'll just kill your opponent almost regardless of what he does.
At the same time I have some doubts Blizzard will do anything about it because they have very consciously made the choice that they wanted noobs to be competent at it so that 99.9% of the non-pro population buys the game.
