Welcome to LiquiScoop, the #1 weekly newsletter for everything that goes on in the Teamliquid.net forums! Here you'll find notable threads, notable posters, and some fun original content as well.
This week we have something special. As you may know, TL.net was selected to participate in Blizzard's Sandlot Tournament, but we have no official logo. For the next two weeks, LiquiScoop is holding a TL.net Logo Contest! The selected logo's creator will have their art featured on TL.net's front page and will receive a custom user icon! Details on where and how to submit below.
Before we get started, a big thanks to IntoTheWow and Zooey aka dronebabo for their tireless and somewhat arousing help. Without them, LiquiScoop would not happen. Enjoy!

I just wanted to let everyone know that it's starting to be broadcast around the world. I'm not sure exactly when it's going on air in the various territories, but I do know that it was recently shown in South Africa, and it should premier in Asia in September.
The documentary follows Seo Jihoon (Xellos) on his journey to the 2005 WCG Grand Finals. We document his progress through the WCG Korea National Finals, his training and his lifestyle.
The documentary includes never-before-seen sequences such as Xellos getting his brain tested (to see if pro gamers are physically different from normal human, much like athletes), Xellos hanging out with his mum (where we learn how he ended up as a pro gamer), and incredible footage of XELLOS ACTUALLY SMILING.
Also featured are Cho Gyu Nam (CJ team coach), Lee Jae Hoon (fOru) and Na Do Hyun (silent_control). Guillaume Patry (Grrr_ca) gets a whole segment to himself. You'll also catch glimpses of international gamers such as Legionnaire (really, really briefly), Androide, Blackman, and Fisheye.
The documentary is a very interesting watch, even for those who have no previous knowledge of StarCraft or ProGaming (aka sheep). My roommate who does not play computer games found himself cheering for Xellos and FOru by the end of the video. Get the entire documentary here, on TL.net's Torrent Tracker.

This thread is for the people who are fed up of all these fuckin' pussy "amagad my friend broke a nail what should i doooooo" threads. Here there will be no such whining. Only bad ass stuff.
Please note that while this thread is Not Safe For Work, containing plenty of nudity, gore, and profanity, it is quite possibly the only beacon of hope left for the true men in the vast ocean of "[R] Girl Advice" and "[H] My Vagina" threads. Be warned! Reading of this thread may cause hair growth and excessive heterosexuality.
Gene is going to Ithaca College, but he's just found out his roommate's gay! Naturally the first thing he thought of was the TL.net General Forum, where he asked for advice and words of encouragement in So I'm Going to College.... Surely he'd feel better after some reassurance from micronesia: + Show Spoiler +

Don't take this the wrong way but it reminds me of a story.....a friend of a friend had a gay roomate years ago in college...one day the guy is having unexplained problems with anal bleeding. Eventually he sets up a camera in his dorm secretly and discovers his roomate was drugging and raping him.

LiquiScoop Fanmail of the Week
Since this is our first week, we only had one letter submission!
Dear LiquidScoop,
I really love the new feature, as my party party lifestyle here in Argentina and my fulltime job of pimping underage girls to Danish giants does not allow me to check TL.net every day. I look forward to your reports each week! However, could you perhaps include more ninjas in your report? Perhaps... thousands of them?
Thank you very much for your time.
Sincerely, Anonymous
Send your fanmail to liquid.scoop@gmail.com, where no subject is taboo.
We hope you enjoyed our first edition, see you next week!
Would you like to contribute to LiquiScoop? PM Hot_Bid with any suggestions or comments.

btw nice formatting, good use of spoilers etc.
I second that...
because I work now (no longer 24/7 scing) I only get to check the hot topics (<<<< under the general tab on the left) and that's only during lunchtime. Hence, I miss a lot of stuff, as I don't have a computer at home.
omg such good writings Twisted lol, that was short and clear
Keep'em up, man, don't let circumstances stop you! Even when you hear "nuclear launch detected" please don't worry - i'll be there myself to kill the fucking ghost just to let you make this job done!
When Johnny Jones was serenading Mary, He sure could quote a lot of poetry But he'd much rather tell her what he learned in his speller When they both attended PS thirty-three....
(chorus) "A," you're adorable, "B," you're so beautiful, "C," you're a cutie full of charms. "D," you're a darling and "E," you're exciting And "F," you're a feather in my arms. "G," you look good to me, "H," you're so heavenly, "I," you're the one I idolize. "J," we're like Jack and Jill, "K," you're so kissable, "L," is the lovelight in your eyes.
"M," "N," "O," "P," I could go on all day. "Q," "R," "S," "T," alphabetically speaking, you're OK.
U," made my life complete, "V," means you're very sweet, Double-"U" "X" "Y" "Zee." It's fun to wander through the alphabet with you To tell you what you mean to me. (repeat the chorus)

lol he got banned for this? JLIG? NICE NEWS! When I was with GosuGamers I tried to organize a News of The Month column... but some random person does/did it for WGTour.
Holy ddong Hot_Bid this is such a good idea. Hopefully you'll be able to keep it up. I would love to help out but unfortunately my father, the cheap bastard, feels that since I'm the only one with a computer in the house internet is no longer needed.
So I only get to TL.net a few times a week and this will definitely help me save time by avoiding pointless and stupid forums and go directly to the ones that are good or make me laugh.
For every American that laughed at the users this section, there are ten that believed "adorably" is actually word (it's not).
Pretty sure you're a complete idiot.

No-one gets to act like a tool to hot_bid (or any staff member for that matter), especially when they have fuckall posts.
