TL Attack 2013 Episode 2 will happen on Wednesday, Feb 06 8:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00), just two days from now. VODs will be made available quickly following the broadcast.
For the second episode of 2013’s edition of TL Attack our guest will be Evil Genius’ Benjamin "DeMusliM" Baker. He’s from England and people used to call him the Devil Terran but we’re confident he has softened up enough to not suck the show into a dark abyss.
DeMuslim in his natural habitat.
VODs
In case you missed the previous episode with NaNiwa, the VODs are up on our YouTube Channel.
Hosts
As usual our hosts will be EG.iNcontroL and ROOT.CatZ. Last episode we saw NaNiwa learn Megaton Extreme right before our eyes, now it's time for DeMusliM's turn!
ROOT.CatZ EG.iNcontroL
Do you want to play?
OK so do you want to play against the special guest on the show, in front of potentially millions of tenths of hundreds of thousands of viewers? Here's your chance: create a cheerful in true TL Attack spirit using this template:
You can put anything you want on it, about any subject (the players, host, show, TL, ESPORTS in general, etc) and we'll even show it on stream before you play your match. Just post your cheerful in this thread with your battle.net ID (character + code) and we'll invite the winners during the show, so make sure to watch.
Last episode was all Wings of Liberty so this time around we will be doing entirely Heart of the Swarm, so study your most abusive builds for the expansion and see if you can take down a pro.
Come back Wednesday for some the exciting continuation of TL Attack!
TeamLiquid Attack! is a fun, casual event where a popular professional StarCraft 2 player plays custom 1v1s against community members. Typically, the player attempts creative or non-serious strategies while sharing friendly banter with the hosts. The show is a great way to get to know the personality of the popular player that might not normally be seen in serious ladder games or in tournaments.
Previous episodes of TL Attack can be found on TeamLiquid's YouTube Channel, featuring guests like NaNiwa, MorroW, White-Ra, Qxc, and Sheth.
Meh, I would've expected a player who has won something... anything in the last two years, but whatever,,,
Last episode was really nice, but I hope Incontrol and Cats have prepared some nice penalties this time, instead of trying to think something up on the fly like last time.
Im so happy i get to see my favorite foreigner on TL attack I remember chearing for him when his results weren't so high stacked Us true fans remember cheering for him so hard when he beat Nestea I was hyperventilating so hard I could hardly breathe Then his results at NASL everyone thought he would lose to sen Us true fans knew he would win and since then I have never lost faith The Devil Terran, my favorite foreigner you will always remain.

I do not wish to play my foreign hero Playing him my chances of winning would be 0 All I want is for the potential of him reading my poem That would make me happier then a refugee from Poland! If this would happen iNcontrol or CatZ, I would make fist pump and cheer My birthday is the day of this TL attack and it would bring me to tears All JohnStamos wants is for his efforts to get noticed All of my years at school i was made fun of and goaded So please I beg of you Hotbid im starting to get sappy If you gave me a shout out and read this on stream I would be happy I know I have not sent in a cheerful or anything like that, But surely this is JohnStamos's time to shine, Im up to bat! And if you give me this chance, it will be a homerun I will be so happy and I promise it will be fun! You have the chance to make my day So please relieve me for a moment of this depression for my sake As I type this poem I beg of you please Give me strength, give me that sweet release The relief I want, It his hard earned, fought My family is in ruins my father has been laid off There is not much work for him being 60 and only line of work in construction My head his seducing me to give in to deaths seduction Thank you in advance even if you do it or not Just read this please and give it some thought
kinda random but Catz is right about the British accents on Game of Thrones being because "that's what you want" for that kind of production. it's an American production based on a book series by an American author (and i'm pretty sure some of the actors are American), so it doesn't make sense otherwise for the accent to be in it. a girl i'm trying to get with is writing a paper on that exact issue and it seems i actually kinda listened to what she had to say about it.

Well yes, but the setting is clearly medieval (fictional of course) and there weren't that many Americans around at that time ^^

Just a random note, no one before the 1800's (maybe later, I'm not being date accurate) spoke or sounded like modern British people. British accents just happen to be some random catch-all that Americans use for the Medieval era, the ancient Greeks, Spartans...as well as things like Russians/Germans/Ukrainians/etc. whenever a show chooses to use English rather than the proper language+subtitles.
In other words, to Americans, British is an acceptable substitute for any foreign Europeans or any old civilization.

Cool poem! I just read it unfortunately, I can't say I would've read it outloud if I had seen it before, not because its not super cool, but because im not the most amazing voice for reading, and it might take a bit of time off the show. However, I'll make sure DeMusLim sees it if he hasn't. Happy birthday!

It's also heavily influenced by English history (War of the Roses, Hadrian's Wall). And I'm sure it's no coincidence the whole continent is shaped like Great Britain. I think it being so reminiscent of medieval England makes it more believable and allows you to get more engaged in the universe.

Thank you so much he has pmed me with this
"Original Message From DeMusliM: Hey man, read you're poem.
Was nice and I always appreciate things like this. Sounds like you're a little down, so I hope this PM may cheer you up just a tad
Have a lovely day ^^"
And so I replied
Thank you so much your blog was an inspiration I was out of air but you have given me some respiration When I was down on Christmas and received no presents Your stream turned that around and somehow made it pleasant And most recently my birthday the day I hate most Its a reminder of how little Ive accomplished socially with no girlfriend to boast Last year for example I just cried all day Whats a life with no purpose I thought to myself in the rain Hows a life supposed to stay cool and sane I suppose its ironic that I'm saddest on my birth date But today now I feel spirited enough to end this 5 years of depression Started off in middle school when I got acne and got all that oppression But now I feel things are starting to look up and now I have a mission You provoked this change in me and all you did was listen My lyrics my mind they are all i've got at the moment But to me now they feel golden as if they are god sent But god didn't get me here you did And yes before I was feeling a little down And this Pm has indeed cheered me up in fact I feel quite proud In closing know I will always cheer for you you've been the only one to treat me like a human being So now your not just my favorite foreigner you've surpassed my favorite korean If ever you need a cheerful or are just looking for a message to pass the time Just PM me and I will spit forth and bring out the rhymes
Word.
Thank you so much CatZ and Demuslim today I am filled with happiness!
well this was truly some under the radar super stealth shit considering it was an official event that wasn't even on the calendar a few hours before it began :o missed it entirely!
not like that's an issue for me personally, i'll watch the vod, but having two days' rather hidden notice is kind of weird for what should historically be an event worth a lot more than that.
