November 16th 2008
1100 PS / 1400 EST / 2000 CET
The time for epic battle approaches! Next Sunday, Teamliquid will engage in it's second staff battle vs the commentary site SC2GG!
TeamLiquid vs. SC2GG
Game 1:  OneOther < Othello >  Deus_073
Game 2: Hot_Bid < Blue Storm >  WorldCommunist8
Game 3: Carnac / Cow < Python > MrBitter / JWD
Game 4: DeadVessel < Chupung-Ryeong > Vaul
Game 5: Insane < Byzantium 2 > Cholera
Game 6: Rage < Medusa > Psyonic_Reaver
Game 7: Chill < Andromeda > Salv
If GosuGamers was TeamLiquid's annoying little brother, SC2GG would be TeamLiquid's little brother's classmate's friend's father's plumber. With the expectations set high after the 5-2 thumping of GG.net, can TL follow up with a convincing win over the upstart commentary site? Or will SC2GG, backed by their legions of youtube fans, make their commentary a reality? SC2GG is certainly the underdog. TeamLiquid's users and staff expect nothing less than a 7-0 sweep. But despite constantly playing the martyr card on the TL forums, SC2GG does not want to settle for "respectable". They're in it to win it.
The match kicks off with translation team member OneOther facing off against Deus in a PvT on Othello. What does 강간 translate to? Rape. In the second set, apprentice wizard Hot_Bid (aka R1CH[NamE]) comes out of BW retirement to attempt to stop the god-like hacker WorldCommunist8 from erasing TeamLiquid from existence.
Set three has something Proleague doesn't: 2v2. Inactive since World War 2, German Protoss Carnac teams up with Belgian Zerg and #1 Poster Cow to invade France punish the SC2GG newswriting team of MrBitter and JWD.
Set four is a story of heart, will, and resurgence. DeadVessel has accounted for 50% of all TL.net staff losses, falling to the GG.net Terran Groove during the last showmatch. After his loss to Groove, DeadVessel secluded himself for 30 days, agonizing over the replay and sporting his big red FAIL icon. To punish himself, DV refused to make new IDs for at least 6 hours. Now comes his second and possibly final chance at redemption. Can he change the result this time against the SC2GG caster Vaul? Same matchup. Same map. Different pressure.
Insane won a 2v2 with GTR against GG.net. That alone is enough to make him a hero, but he's back for more. His opponent in Set Five? SC2GG's "as good as Korean commentators" Cholera, who has been quoted as saying "if I had a choice between winning a million dollars or killing all of TeamLiquid's users' families, I would undoubtedly do both."
Set six pits SC2GG's harshest critic outside of China, Rage, against the SC2GG commentator Psyonic_Reaver, who helped set up this showmatch. We should all thank him for his efforts, because without him this match would not happen. However, instead of thanking him we will serve him up a big plate of loss.
The final set has the biggest hype. TL hesitates to call this the "Ace" set, unless "Ace" really means when one team is up 6-0 and the other is desperately trying to get one win. Commentator, Strategy Forum king, and the most hated person on the TL forums, Chill, will play Salv, who is in charge of SC2GG's strategy section. These two love each other, and by love we mean "hate with a passion."
For the past week Staff members have been at a secret bootcamp in the wilderness. Their skill has reached such extreme levels that flawless victory is almost guarenteed and great victory will be brought to TeamLiquid. Rather than practicing ownage by commentary, Chill has simply been binge drinking which he insists will give him the power of flame and mockery come game day - we'll see what Moletrap has to say about that.
As always, matches will be broadcast live and like any good sequel will include lasers explosions and mbs flashing lights.
LETS GET IT ON!Last edit: 2008-11-10 04:21:24 |

Getting "guarenteed" spelled right could help my confidence in Tl.net, yep.
