So this is not some kind of feedback, but much rather a question concerning the fact that there has been a pretty big lack of coverage of the recent events that happened. For example there was no recap of the GSTL finals (which were pretty sick, in my opinion) and only a really small preview of the Assembly thats going on right now. And there have also not been any kind of updates about the Assembly, while its going.

So I do not want to just straight up say that that is bad, but I do think, that if the TL staff is not able to give us coverage of events, you guys should give us a reason, or some kind of "Were sadly not able to cover this event for you, because of blah". Because, atleast for me, if i get that kind of message, I know that I dont have to expect a preview/recap. I think that is better then letting us stay in the dark

Well it´s always "If there is no preview, just do it yourself", most people (all?) came into their position by doing stuff, and not complain that there is nothing.

In regards Asus ROG:

and don´t forget TL.pro http://www.teamliquidpro.com/news/2012/08/01/hero-ret-and-taeja-at-asus-rog

This is all work by the staff and volunters, if you think that´s not enough go ahead and do more!

I know I sound pissed but no matter how sugar coat you after

So I do not want to just straight up say that that is bad

a bad taste stays for me...

It's true that there has been a lack of coverage lately but that's most likely due to TSL and the amount of work TL staff need to put in to get that working smoothly. Matches are played throughout the week and the writers need to get interviews and other pieces ready for the writeups that come out after the matches every weekend.

The good and the wise lead quiet lives. Neo's #1 Frenemy and nightmare.

Well, I agree that nothing about GSTL final is a bit meh, but I would not call http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=357561 a "really small preview" and the links above " not been any kind of updates about the Assembly".

TSL is for sure a big part of the work they have to do you are right.
It was just the demanding tone that upset me in the OP.

Edit: Looking at OPs post history I have to apologize. I really thought he just wanted to complain but reading his latest posts I think he´s really a TL fan and ok poster in the forum. So sorry if I overreacted!

Short answer is TSL4/understaffed. For a while it was just me/tree/wax on writing when fionn was busy due to RL. Was just me/tree working on IPL TAC, and Wax covering GSL/GSTL alone with me helping whenever I could. I think we're working on the understaffed thing though. GSTL recap I'm not sure what happened. ASUS ROG I think we have enough coverage. Liquipedia is enough for up-to-date results imo. Also, last OSL coming up, so expect something big for that. Even being understaffed, we're still covering a lot, with 1-2 articles per day if you look at the front page. We try.=(

Yeah I really appreciate the stuff you do

Just maybe some kind of message would be nice, so that we dont hope for nothing
