Sometimes the smallest of changes can have the greatest effect on the world around them. Sometimes a slight change to TeamLiquid can improve the site by a leap and a bound. Sometimes a ripple will become a wave.
Today we introduce what may appear to be a minor modification on the face of TeamLiquid - it might not even catch your eye at first glance. Over the next couple of days, you'll rapidly see puzzlepieces, the recognizable icon of Liquipedia, appear next to calender entries.
The idea is very simple: clicking the icon will bring you to the Liquipedia article of that event. It's really quite straightforward, and, more importantly, means that you can now reach all the info and current standings of any ongoing event with a single click from TL's main page.
It's one more step towards interlinking TeamLiquid and Liquipedia. It will create awareness, gives editors easier access, and will hopefully motivate more people to both make articles and contribute to them.
The form for submitting events will naturally change as well. There is now a field for entering a Liquipedia url. Please take note of this as you fill out an event's application. The event should always link to the main section of the event, for example this link for MLG instead of any specific bracket or section.
Before I close out this post, I'd like to make one last announcement. Long time contributors Noam, ZodaSoda and blahz0r have been promoted to official TL Staff. They will receive their puzzlepiece icons and will help us through getting used to these changes. If you have any problems with, or any inquiries about, the calender, feel free to contact them or any other staff member.
Let us know any feedback you may have and enjoy the new changes!
