Although Liquibition has been played twenty-two times over Teamliquid.net's 5 year history, recent times have caused Liquibition to be nothing but a simple showmatch done once every few months.
With Teamliquid rapidly evolving and growing though, we have been able to resurrect a once forgotten part of our site into something worth getting very, very excited about.
For those not knowing what Liquibition is, here is a quick history of the past showmatches;

The twenty-third chapter of Liquibition will include a rising star, and a fallen star rising up again battling it out on a variety of maps. They are both well-known names around the foreign community, and they are Excello.IefNaij of Canada and ret[Media] of the Netherlands.
The games will be played on a private Hamachi server on Sunday the 2nd March 2008 at 10:00am KST. If needed/requested by the players though, we will move to battle.net and play with the Latency Changer plugin on the L2 setting. As usual, we will be doing the standard best-of-seven, first to four, style of showmatch.
The maps are as follow;
Game 1 - Troy
Game 2 - Sin Peaks of Baekdu
Game 3 - Zodiac
Game 4 - Rush Hour III
Game 5 - Blitz X
Game 6 - Blue Storm
Game 7 - Ride of Valkyries
There will be a live stream with commentary available on the day, VOD's and replays will also be available for those not able to watch, so everyone will be able to tune into the action.
Hope to see you then!
