These are the only way I stay in touch with current events as I am currently in a super busy time in my life. Thanks again, and I will say thanks every week
I have a really busy work week and hang around 15 hours a day at my job! Thanks so much for this, it really helps us casuals who are absolutely in love with this scene .
It was a pretty good week in Starcraft 2, even though Squirtle didn't win , at least I got to see Ace best two Prime players in a completely unexpected manner.

Agreed.
That aside, thanks as always dude!! These things are a lifesaver for people like me who don't have close to enough time to monitor the forums / screddit every day.

I don't know if I think it should be included. I twas pretty awesome and a bit back and forth even as the map was being mined out, but the last 15-20 minutes was extremely boring.
I'm not sure that Classic left for his mandatory two year military service. Ghostking says that he left for 'reserve army training' and talked about him going through the qualifers when he returns, not typical talk for someone doing their two years' service. Reserves have to go through training sessions occasionally, but that doesn't mean they're to be deployed.

I skim r/starcraft and TeamLiquid for recommended matches. If the recommended match is part of a series, I typically link to the first match in the series, and not the match itself.
"This Week in Starcraft" is undoubtedly one of my favorite regular articles/threads to go to on TL, thank you Juicyjames for putting these out there. They keep me informed about some of the best games happening, and allow me to know of important BW/SC2 news without having to lurk TL all the time.
Have you considered adding another tab in there for "The Drama?" I only ask this because it seems like every week, there's a new issue poking the butt of esports, or shitting up the threads on TL, that people aren't aware of until way after the event happened (I learned about ROOTDestiny getting in trouble for his language only by the time he started mouthing off about his ban). It might be better to avoid touching such topics completely, but I think it's still a part of the community, as bad as it can get. Spreading such knowledge could certainly change opinions of certain sponsors, players, teams, etc. are involved, but it can just as easily lead to some people reading about it in these articles and making shitty posts about it.
I don't know, it's just an idea. Just like asking a mod to suggest some hilarious closed threads for viewing pleasure, or notifications of things to come in next week's goodies (like events, patches, etc). I suggest these so I can help these articles improve in any way possible, so even more will read and contribute, like a plague of awesome proportions! PLAY-GUU!(I could also help with graphics, but you already have shiroiusagi for that~)
I look forward to next week's write-up, and hope you consider my suggestions. See you, space cowboy! :>
