EPThowever, today i'm going to bring you something different. my other work has focused on korean progamers, but now, i'm bringing you something straight from the heart of teamliquid. i needed no imagination for this project since i'm merely illustrating what actually happened. i repeat, there is no exaggeration or parody whatsoever in this comic series.
my objective is to bring to light some of the rather ambiguous events that occurred quite recently, but henceforth will be remembered as one of the biggest backstabbings right in the back in teamliquid history: the TLTour III launch.
i'll add a little context for each episode so that people who aren't in the "in crowd" can understand a little bit better the inner workings
*NOTE* i recommend reading the background info first if you're unfamiliar with the TLTour situation

As for keeping you in the loop its not like I have not been ranting about it for a while. Blizzard always has all the cards and the last words.
Old but I love reading my own rants.

Entropy December 2006 - after I realized the WGTour thing as they wanted it was not going to happen. Besides read Ilintar's reply about who has been keeping who out of the loop!
in case anyone needs further explanation than this post and mani's [drama] post, tiger's role is a blatant computer programmer villain who just wants to fuck over manifesto and tltour. He has seen three moves ahead and believes we will lose our Queen. He needs to look 3 more moves ahead and notice that for the Queen, we will get the game. There is a clear winning combination ahead for TLTour & StarCraft fans at large.

physician, on the other hand, has a much more sinister role, as we saw in his post in the starcraft league announcement thread. by keeping mani out of the loop except for retarded subtle clues he let months of work go to waste. he compensates for this absolutely WTF behavior by assuring us of some kind of brood war promised land, complete with chess analogy, pretty much cementing himself into a wackjob mad scientist role. Additionally, his partnership with Tiger is a reference to the "we" comments made in this small piece of an MSN dialog, although he remained pretty level-headed:

Manifesto7 - Trevor の発言 :
you know tiger, when everyone was talking shit about you, i stood here and I said I will judge a man by how I deal with him one on one
ťigŭr[dt].Muhammad の発言 :
we cracked them x 100 years ago on pgt
Manifesto7 - Trevor の発言 :
but with this attitude, you are making it very easy for me to decide
Manifesto7 - Trevor の発言 :
im checking out. ill be back on May 7th. At that time I will decide what to do
ťigŭr[dt].Muhammad の発言 :
NO when EVERYONE was talkng SHIT about YOU - i had several offers - people ready to BACKSTAB UR ASs
ťigŭr[dt].Muhammad の発言 :
I STOOD FOR U (<--- another joke. Look at Mani's sig)
entropy aka physician の発言 :
up to you mani, ~ we want to go with tl.net cause we promised and we love the community ~ but if tl.net drops us - and we can't do anything to change your mind .. we doomed in that regard but we will go on our own, no big deal, if it works it works, if it does not it does not..
entropy aka physician の発言 :
the community will still benefit and I can still get the sponsors for it too - both fifo and mym been wanting in on this thing too..so I don't think there will be any major dissaointment - and now with this league issue its going to be helloffun again in battle.net.. can't no understand why so serious about this, its not like pgtour was magic from day one - took us 2 years to build it up..
entropy aka physician の発言 :
thats my 2cents
entropy aka physician の発言 :
dotn see any drama in it..

BWL was cracked in 5 mins o_O, Ashur made a huge cry on tl.net post after it ~ you saw it, you know it yourself - after testing 15 mins on UGT anti hack, anyhow ... for anyone willing to verify his words try to crack it, dl a MH dl the launcher and test it yourself. It cracks up after the dll injection made and the hack is activated.
Ehm, You can DRAG me ? Ok. I will make a korean news website cover all events with little tiny forums and cute youtube video and call myself special. ;]
I am not working with you, you are kicked off the team. TLT will be workung under UGT banner, raylu LordMartin, fonger all with me. You have nothing. So the only copyright material was your unfinished php which you can take back because I am using none of it.
Tour will launch in 10 days !!!
