Anyway, 2012/12/13 was when I joined TL and one year later, what really happened for me here?
I'm not sure.
Before this date, I could barely see any SC2 at all. I had a unknown bug on my PC and 99% of the time, a stream would not load at all on twitch, and only there. So for months, I had this problem, and didn't really care about the game. The few times I could see it, I think I only saw the worst possible series, probably some PvP where each army just camp at a side of the map and wait. That plus the fact that I never was into Brood War... well, I thought SC2 was really total shit.
And then, I decided to format my PC, reinstall windows, and suddenly, all was working again. Saw some stuff with Pomf & Thud, started to learn how to watch SC2 and started to like it. And that's when I arrived at Teamliquid and discovered Liquipedia.
At first, I think I was too afraid to touch it (and still am in some ways). My English is quite poor so I knew I couldn't write anything too long and I didn't know the players at all, or the teams and most of all, I really didn't want to make something wrong. I was just an unknown newbie and to me, I had no "right" to touch it.
So at first, I just did stuff like that and I like to think it helped some people. But then R1CH did his great automatic tool doing the exact same thing, so yeah, I had to find something else.
It all happened when, as I was actively following the Acer TeamStory Cup, most of us learned that there was 2 rounds and that second round was not on Liquipedia. Really shocking!
So I did it!
I remember shz and Chapatiyaq answered my questions (thank you!), and one hour later, it was done, I had added 9 weeks of clanwars. And damn, I was so proud to have successfully copy-pasted 36 times the same pre-made template. It was like doing some great achievement in secret. That was June 5th, roughly 4 months after my inscription on Liquipedia.
Now, 6 months later, I'm close to 12,000 edits.

And now, I don't even feel proud of it. For the most part, it is just updating score and the only thing it shows is how I have too much free time. It requires no skill and it is a bit degrading. Weird, uh?
So that's it, one year on Teamliquid. Ok, professionally, it was an horrible year, but I hope I spent this time to help the community as best as I could, and I wish I can do more in this new year starting now (and the on starting in 2 weeks too).
That was my 3,000th post, my first blog entry, and thanks to NovaMB, SinCitta & LockeTazeline for voting for me in the Lichter's tournament.
