TLO has done it! He has achieved 10/10 beard points and will be enjoying a well-deserved trim.

Presenting the TLO Beard in its fully evolved form:

Dario, you are an inspiration to all of us!

I, for one, believe it is time to recognize the most terrifying force on the e-sports scene today: The TLO Beard.

At first I wondered whether the TLO Beard, as a newcomer to the esports scene, in fact deserved its own fanclub. But after some inquiry, my doubts were alleviated.

I have it on good authority that the only things more manly than the TLO Beard are the SR-71 Blackbird, Chuck Norris' chest hair, and the 1972 Miami Dolphins--the latter being debatable. Ron Jeremy is on the record as saying that the TLO Beard is "damn impressive" and so manly that "[it] makes my entire career and body of work just seem somewhat, you know, inadequate."

I attempted to contact the head coach of Prime for comment before creating this thread, but at the Beard's mere mention he began mumbling incoherently and cowering in terror. I cannot be sure, but he appeared to be making some desperate, wordless, and likely futile appeal to his god.

Here's to the Beard.

I dont understand. Do we have a fanclub for everyone now? Yeah I know, TLOs beard is a great entertainer, but are we ever gonna see TLOs beard winning an MLG? I dont think so. Can you really say you think TLObeard has even the slightest chance of getting into code S? or even code A?
I just dont know man. wait till the beard at least participates in some high level tournaments. Maybe he'll be as good as TLO one day, but I think this is just premature.

we are far past having only fanclubs for players, plenty of entertainers, even models with no knowledge about starcraft(sporrer) get fanclubs here on tl so there is absolutely know reason to deny someone as important for the esports scene as tlo's beard a fanclub

I couldnt agree more.

Besides, TL desperately needs more beards and chest hair, and less QQ and whining.

Edit: OP, sign me the fuck up!

As The TLO Beard matured, Nestea and MVP fell into Code A, Slayers_Boxer decided to coach full-time, EG stopped winning despite having its best players training in Korea, and Terran failed to make it to GSL Code S finals. Coincidence? I think not.

TLO does not have a Beard, the Beard has a TLO. Therefor it should be called The Beard's TLO fanclub.

Jokes aside, sign me up!
