Our first few TL Opens were very successful events and we feel we're ready to host them more consistently. The guys that run TeamSpeak were already huge fans of Starcraft -- TLAF-Liquid's Ret in particular, so it was an easy decision for both of us to work together. TeamSpeak will also be providing us a dedicated server for TL users to chat together while watching events or playing Starcraft 2, so look out for that in the near future.
This is our first long-term sponsorship for TL Open so I hope the TL community supports TeamSpeak by taking the time to try out their program. We're all part of the same community and this partnership would not be possible if they weren't gamers at heart already.
Here are a few words from TeamSpeak's Peter Kirk:
Greetings TeamLiquid Community, TeamSpeak has always been a "from gamers for gamers" type of company - in fact back in 2000 the very first version (TeamSpeak 1) was actually made because the available tools out there were not satisfactory so we made a program for our clans internal use. Today, 10+ years later we are still all passionate gamers, playing all kinds of games. Myself I have been playing StarCraft in a clan since a few years (first Broodwar and now StarCraft 2). Naturally getting to know TeamLiquid is unavoidable as a StarCraft player, and we are happy to be able to give this great community something back by sponsoring these upcoming TeamLiquid Opens. Any of you out there that do not know TeamSpeak 3 yet should really give it a try. In my clan we use it as the main tool to connect the players. Hope to get to know some of you on the new TeamLiquid TS3 Public Server  Looking forward to some epic games!
About Our Sponsor
The TeamLiquid SC2 Open is proudly sponsored by TeamSpeak Systems GmbH, developers of popular TeamSpeak voice chat software for online gamers and now, with their latest TeamSpeak 3 SDK product, virtual worlds and integrated solutions. TeamSpeak enables groups of people to speak with one another over the Internet using their Windows, Mac, or Linux based computer, much like a telephone conference call. A TeamSpeak user will typically wear a headset with an integrated microphone and connect to his guild or clan's TeamSpeak server to chat with fellow team mates, discuss strategy in real-time, or facilitate online events.
TeamSpeak 3 features include: a global web server list, tabbed multi-server connectivity, tabbed text chatting, firewall friendly file transfer, user avatars, friends lists, and a fully customizable client UI supporting skins, sound packs, and plugins. TeamSpeak Systems GmbH is currently sponsoring a TeamSpeak 3 Addons Contest and giving away over $7,000 in cash and prizes, so go check it out! TeamSpeak is FREE to use for non-commercial entities.

Man I'm so excited. I participated in the last TL Open and it really gave me a feeling of what a tournament feels like. Though I lose quickly, it was a really motivating experience.
Got to train it now. |

| I'll definitely be able to practice for the later ones. Hope to do well. Teamspeak is awesome. I've used it to communicate with friends while playing Starcraft and other games like Call of Duty and America's Army. Glad to see they're still being awesome. |

| Exactly what this community needs, an ongoing, well run, high profile way for unknowns to make themselves known. Not that you guys don't have enough to do already but it would be cool to see a leaderboard of players' average results or overall records in these tournaments. Looking forward to trying TeamSpeak too, still haven't found a voice client all my friendslist can agree on. |

| The amount of quality tournaments is really going bananas. Plus getting a TS server for TL sponsored by TS themselves is pretty epic. |

| This sponsor really makes sense. I would have never tried teamspeak, but with TS servers for the TL open, I will definitely give it a try. |
