The Razer's Edge



The TSL is now sponsored by:
RAZER


Two months ago, TeamLiquid had an ambition of bringing the Korean StarLeague experience to the rest of the world. The various members of our staff brought a unique blend of talent and motivation which has created a buzz unlike anything that has come before. The only thing missing was a company who was willing to sponsor a vision rather than look at data. A company that was willing to support an unproven product based on reputation, not revenue streams. A company that understood "community".

Until now. We at TeamLiquid are delighted to announce that our baby has a name, and that name is the Razer TSL. After extensive negotiations we have come to an agreement in which Razer will not only sponsor the entire prize pool of the TSL, but also the substantial cost of streaming the games live to you, the fans. We are delighted to be working with them, and hope that the upcoming league surpasses all expectations.

In an industry notoriously lacking in willing sponsors, Razer has been at the forefront of supporting eSports in all it's manifestations. They are currently supporting twenty-one teams, the top WCIII progamers, as well as numerous LAN events. The Razer TSL, however, represents a step into uncharted territory. We are thankful for their trust, and will do our best to prove that TL is a worthy investment.

In the coming days, TL will be launching a new page dedicated completely to the Razer TSL. In addition, Razer will be more than a silent partner. They will be taking an active interest in the tournament, hosting their own TSL page with a "Guess the TSL Champion" contest.

For more information on Razer and how they support eSports, check out their eSports page at:
http://team.razerzone.com/news.php


Of course, you should also check out their main page for all your computer peripherals:

http://www.razerzone.com


The Razer motto is "For Gamers. By Gamers." This proves it. Please join me in thanking Razer for their vision and support.

[MSL] Group E: Into the Blender



MSL Group E


There is a good mix of players who competed to get out of this group. There were representatives from each of the three races. Some veteran and accomplished players were back for more action and they were joined by some newer blood, looking for a first shot at glory. With such a blend of players, anyone had a reasonable shot at getting out of this group.

Set I
(T)NaDa vs (P)LuCifer
Othello

Set II
(T)Goodfriend vs (Z)Shark
Athena

Results

(P)LuCifer and (T)NaDa advance!


Advancing from this group are both the youngest and oldest players. Both the least and most experienced. None of the games were particularly exciting, the players who brought better game walked away with the win in each case. Whether you enjoy seeing the greats of the game continue to do well or you enjoy seeing potential champions on their rise to glory, the results from this group deliver for future excitement in this season’s MSL.

TSL Opening Broadcast



The first weekend of TSL video broadcasts will be:
Saturday, May 10 - 16:30 EST / 22:30 CET
Sunday, May 11 - 16:30 EST / 22:30 CET

The stream link will be posted closer to the broadcast time.
Casters include Artosis, Chill, Manifesto7 and Yannis.

Due to lag and player scheduling issues, games will be played immediately before the broadcast, and the broadcast will show the replays of the games right after the games finish. The casters will not know the results or how many games were played. The players will be forbidden to leak results until the end of broadcast. Thus, while it is not "truly live," it is the first time anyone will have seen the replays of the games. We have exhaustively tested all live broadcast possibilities and this semi-live solution is closest thing to a live experience that we can accomplish while being fair to both the viewers and players.

After the broadcasts are over, we will not be releasing replays but rather VODs of the games.

[MSL] Group A: Gotterdammerung


MSL Group A


With top representatives of the three races, plus cannon fodder in the form of a cuddly cherub, this group shaped up to be one of the best in the current MSL. The hype / live report thread can be found here, with an excellent OP by Aesop.

(Z)Jaedong vs (P)Bisu

Set II
(T)Hwasin vs (T)FrOzean

Results

Jaedong > Bisu
Hwasin > Frozean
Hwasin > Jaedong
Bisu > Frozean
Jaedong > Bisu

(T)Hwasin and (Z)Jaedong advance.


The better players advanced. All is right with the world. The only regret is Jaedong vs Hwasin; without mouse issues it could have been a great game. A TvZ master and ZvT master on a new gas-heavy strategic-oriented map – a recipe for great games. Hopefully we'll be treated to it later on in MSL.

Love and luck,
LR

[OSL] The Twilight


Big thanks to Daigomi for the banner


So we come to the twilight phase of Round 1 and glance back on what has already been a better tournament than Bacchus OSL. As strange as it may seem, we have come to the end of the first round of the OSL. Yes, that was very short! At the moment we have 12 players qualified for the OSL - and tonight we find the remaining 4 to join them. Regrettably, Manifesto7 was unable to save his report thanks to some computer troubles [read: power failure] so this post will be double length!






Group E was one of the better groups on show in the OSL. We had Sea/Deazang/Jangbi/Xellos all fighting for two spots - and what a show we were given. Breaking it down player by player how could you not be excited? Sea and Daezang are both similarly styled gamers and thus should create a really exciting game for us first up, while JangBi is on fire against a questionably formed Xellos. So let's see how everything went down in this group.

Set 1
(T)Sea
< Hwarangdo >
(P)Daezang



+ Show Spoiler [Game Comments] +


Set 2
(T)XellOs
< Hwarangdo >
(P)JangBi



+ Show Spoiler [game comments] +


Set 3: Winners
(T)Sea
< Andromeda >
(P)JangBi




+ Show Spoiler [game comments] +


Set 4: Losers
(P)Daezang
< Andromeda >
(T)Xellos





+ Show Spoiler [game comments] +


Set 5: Tie-Breaker
(T)Sea
< Troy >
(P)Daezang



+ Show Spoiler [game comments] +


And thus, the results are as follows:

Sea > Daezang
Jangbi > Xellos
Jangbi > Sea <-- Jangbi advances!
Daezang > Xellos
Sea > Daezang <-- Sea advances!






And now comes the group i just can't be excited about.. None of these players are going to win the OSL and will be knocked out with relative ease in the nest round. Nevertheless this was my assigned group and i will do my best to remain professional no matter how boring these games are. Obviously i have about 0% interest in this very anti-climatic end to Rnd 1. Oh well.

Set 1
(P)Rock
< Hwarangdo >
(T)UpMagic




+ Show Spoiler [game comments] +


Set 2
(Z)YellOw[ArnC]
< Hwarangdo >
(P)BestGod



+ Show Spoiler [game comments] +


Set 3: Winners
(Z)YellOw[ArnC]
< Andromeda >
(P)Rock



+ Show Spoiler [game comments] +


Set 4: Losers
(T)UpMagic
< Andromeda >
(P)BestGod



+ Show Spoiler [game comments] +


Set 5: Tie-Breaker
(P)Rock
< Troy >
(P)BestGod



+ Show Spoiler [game comments] +


So, to recap;
Rock > UpMagic
Yarnc > BestGod <-- Yarnc advances!
Yarnc > Rock
BestGod > UpMagic
Rock > BestGod <-- Rock advances!




So.. to recap; here is the list of players in this seasons 'real' OSL.
(T)Flash
(Z)Luxury
(P)Stork
(P)Bisu
(Z)GGPlay
(P)BackHo
(P)BeSt[HyO]
(T)NaDa
(Z)Rumble
(P)Much[gm]
(Z)July
(T)InteR.Mind
(P)JangBi
(T)Sea
(Z)YellOw[ArnC]
(P)Rock

And well, one can't help but be underwhelmed by that lineup - and most nostably the lack of Jaedong and Savior.

So what happens next? Well it's highly likely that there will be a group drawing for the OSL groups sometime this week - which should be awesome as always. And from there, we should have games the following week. Awesome Both myself and Mani well be there bringing you premiere coverage of this prestigious league (and please don't forget about it in the hype of TSL ) and you may just see the return of a certain long lost TL feature...

Until then!

Own a Piece of TL History

Like TL? Fine, go liquibet. LOVE TL? Read on!

After years of reading the best, now you can look the best. We are proudly presenting the first edition of the TeamLiquid T-shirt.

We wanted to make a shirt that was:

A) Affordable, this one is only 10 bucks plus shipping.
B) Original, JellyCat's logo has been the unofficial logo for TL since the Sandlot Tournament. It kicks ass.
C) A magnet for the ladies, if you wear this, I promise some girl will come up and say "is that a guardian in the grass?"



You can order with either a credit card or paypal. The shirt will be shipped directly to your house. Only 100 are available in the first batch! Based on how well these go we can order more, but I'm sure you would rather have a first edition.

Order here: http://www.teamliquid.net/store/
Post your shipping costs here so others can see how much it is.

EDIT - We sold our 100 t-shirts in less than 15 hours. We will be reordering more soon, but there is some turn around time.

A big thanks goes to Saro and mnm for organizing this, and of course to JellyCat, who receives a free tshirt for his logo.

Cheers,
Mani
