mTw.iNfeRnaL vs LLL.ret

March 13th 2010
8pm CET / 2pm EST

SC2, SC2, SC2! That's all you've been hearing about for the past few weeks, and rightly so. The game, or rather the beta of the game, has taken the community by storm. Beta keys are being sold illegally for exorbitant amounts, user streams are getting hits on a scale never seen before, and Team Liquid moderators are taking time off work to close all the argghgh-where-is-my-key nerd rage threads.

SC2 hit us like a freight train. We recovered, played a ton of ladder, and are now here to bring you the first in what we hope will be a series of matches that will keep you informed and entertained in the months to come. Here at TL we've always been serious about Starcraft, not only because SC is srs bznz, which it is, but because it's something we love doing.

Today, Team Liquid is proud to announce the first ever Starcraft 2 Liquibition. Our Broodwar Liquibition games were a cornerstone of foreign SC for many years. Bringing top foreign players together, we pitched them against each other in a take-no-prisoners Bo7 that gave us great, great Starcraft.

Now, many years down the road, we are proud to continue this tradition in presenting a face off between Patrick "iNfeRnaL" Möller and Jos "ret" de Kroon, two of Europe's finest players. The battle grounds will be as follows.

Blistering Sands

Lost Temple

Kulas Ravine

Scrap Station

Steppes of War

Desert Oasis

Metalpolis

Now, that's a lot of SC! Seven games of Starcraft 2 at its finest, all streamed live here on Team Liquid. So, be sure to be around next Saturday as these matches get under way. Join us on IRC, or just check out the Live Report thread - wherever you decide to hang, rest assured that it's going to be an awesome weekend. Bring on the beta hype!

This post was made by the Team Liquid Starcraft 2 Coverage Team. For more of TL's coverage, please visit the Team Liquid Starcraft 2 Beta Page.

Just a tip, check with Psyonic_Reaver on how to get the stream crystal clear and sharp.. It quite a difference compared to other SC2 streams.

Can't wait either way

I have to say, his stream is noticeably clearer and smoother (less laggy) than most others that I've seen.

lol.........TSL has just ended and now this.
How does the TL staff manage to be so fuckin awesome?

only problem is that these two are two of my most favourite SC1 players, so I won't know who to root for
