It is a certainty that those who do not evolve, die. It is that principle that has led to all progress in the world; a shunning of routine, a quest for knowledge, and a lust for improvement. As it is with all things, it has been this way for progaming as well. In it's infancy, progaming was a children's show, with games being played in morning cartoon slots with bright colours and goofy outfits. The producers on the channels OGN and MBC, looking for a simple new angle, saw the high ratings and acted accordingly.
Evolution.
From a change in time slots to uniforms and corporate sponsors, from professional teams to paid managers and mansions, the world of progaming today resembles little the days of old. Certain truths remain however: the game, the essence of battle, the struggle and triumph.
As progaming has evolved, TeamLiquid.net has evolved. As the only English site dedicated to the professional scene in Korea, it has been our privilege, and our responsibility, to grow and change with the times. In the early days, the pro scene was a world of text, with famous word smiths such as mensrea, WaxAngel, and Arbiter[Frolix] giving us visions of this world with their artistry. Over time, as technology changed, TeamLiquid also changed to provide screenshots, and finally video of the games we follow. Innovation followed innovation, with liquibet, calendars, rankings, and predictions becoming the staples of today.
Evolution.
In the summer of 2007, it is time to evolve once again. Just as Koreans have turned Brood War from a game into a sport, so must we make this change. There can be no denying the fact that there is a science to the game. TeamLiquid is now prepared to give you the tools to this science. In that light, I present to you the:

Created by PoP, the master behind progamizer and one of TeamLiquid's three dedicated coders, as well as with the help of all TeamLiquid staff, the database is an immense storehouse of knowledge. Using official Kespa information and manually updated by our staff to ensure accuracy, you will now be able to see progaming in a whole new light.
Every player. Every map. Every Team. Every League. Every statistic including win-loss records, streaks, and percentages can be viewed and filtered by matchup, or even by head to head records. No longer will liquibetting be a guessing game. You can use the TeamLiquid Progaming Database to examine the nuances of every matchup before you make your picks. Writing a report? Shoutcasting some games? Posting love for your favorite player? Uninformed opinions are no longer excusable on TeamLiquid.
