For as long as I can remember, I've been watching Dick Clark on New Years Eve count us down to yet another new year, a long tradition shared by many other Americans. Unfortunately, he has passed away, so RIP Dick Clark.
Anyways, on topic, much of the last five years of my life has been devoted to this wonderful site Teamliquid.net. Similarly to watching the ball drop on New Years Eve, surfing TL has pretty much grown into a tradition. From the good old days of lurking TL before I registered to now, I've always enjoyed what the site has had to offer me.
Back when I first joined, I recall going over the Articles subforum and browsing all the rare translated interviews TL had with Korean pros as well as other legendary threads such as Progaming Gossip and having great laughs at Underwater Basket Weaving Enthusiasts and Where can i download more ram? As years have gone by, I've seen many aspects of this site change. From massive BW fanboys back a few years ago to the insane amount of SC2 fanboys that now populate the site, the change has been pretty incredible. The logo's changed, the layout's changed, and I can even customize like everything on the main page of TL. No spoilers, customizable left and right sidebars, and it even comes with the ability to hide sections. My old comp crashed a couple years ago, so the oldest pic I have of TL is from 2010. Here's what it looked like a couple years back. By the way, nice name CSheep. + Show Spoiler +
A few years back, I recall LR threads were quite possibly the most essential threads alive. With just a few people having access to grainy eye-straining streams, every fanboy sat at their comp refreshing the hell out of LR threads just to kind of sense how Boxer or Yellow were faring in game. Nowadays, I can just load up whatever stream I want and many times I can enjoy it in high definition. Users now stream 24/7 around the clock, so you're almost never itching for more entertainment. If I'm bored and there are no events on (pretty rare these days), I can simply look over at Live Streams on the right and see that Destiny is streaming and that's always great entertainment.
When I stopped playing SC2 a year back, I always wondered if I'd ever come to TL again. Why come to TL if you don't care about Starcraft games? Pretty dumb in hindsight. Nowadays, even though I don't play BW or SC2, it's still a daily routine for me to just click the TL tab on my bookmarks and browse through the General or Blog or Sports and Games section. Even though I haven't played BW in ages, I've really enjoyed playing various other games with other TL members, from playing Fantasy games to MOBAs to MMORPGs, it's been a great experience to play with other people that have the same interests as you. So to all you kids out there on TS right now, it's been great harassing you guys all the time.
Even though I don't see myself playing any SC games in a long time, I know that TL will still be that online home for me. Since I'm bored, you guys can feel free to ask me anything and I'll attempt to answer to my best ability.

Of course I saved it Sheep. Stuff like that doesn't happen every day. Pretty legendary stuff.

Yes, but you're only the second best cannon rusher in SC2. HB is #1

Canada has such a busted-ass east coast Why is it called east coast?
It's not. Canadians almost never say "east coast" unless they are referring to the actual coast, e.g. Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and so on, and that's very rare as the term "maritimes" is used instead. The term used to refer to Ontario eastwards is "Eastern Canada."

Zig has like 1 champ he can play. You have one role you can play. I take 4 trolls on my team and I'll just ban Kass.
If team euro went botlane and jangle (assume w/e positions you want) VS kamille and trollvex bot with Abenson jungling da ree singa, who would win? Who would you be cheering on?
