I just want to say that TLO is single-handedly the reason I discovered esports and my love of the entire industry, and am a Team Liquid fan. Thank you for all the wonderful replays I watched so many years ago on HuskyStarcraft and the tournament vods. You've had a greater impact on my life than I could ever put into words.
Ooofff man! Seeing TLO brought so many good memories! - Mr Harstem after many years of not playing Starcraft I am now logging many hours into your channel and I am loving it, thinking of going back to this amazing game, and I gotta tell you, the older names really pull me back in. Dude you are really good, ty for your content! Uh Day9, Bomber, Ira, Whitera, Stephano, MVP, Naniwa..... heck even Husky would be good to see again.. anyhow, nerding out.. out!
Stephano still shows up in group stages. I actually saw a Naniwa game sometime earlier this year, but it was just a ladder replay. The rest still belong to the past, sadly. =[ RIP Geoff "iNcontrol" Robinson. I gotta give a shout to the modern era - the glory days are now: Clem, Maru, Reynor, Serral, Trap, MaxPax, Dark, Rogue, Bunny, Marinelord, Heromarine, Parting The games and drama have never been better!
@@jacobunderwood4957 Drama?! sign me in! - Now I feel super disconnected from the actual scene.. where is this magical content you speak of and how can one come about to watch some international SC2 tourney?
@@juanarenas739 The GSL, now days, is on AfreecaTV eSports (ru-vid.com/show-UCK5eBtuoj_HkdXKHNmBLAXgvideos). There have been some really strong upsets this season - Rogue is considered the best Zerg in Korea (2-time Blizzcon world champ, maybe best in the world, still, but Reynor from Italy, Serral from Finland and lately Clem from France challenge that claim). Rogue was just beat in the GSL RO4 by Zest, who's been up and down a lot, but hasn't been to the RO4 in like 3 years (Protoss hasn't been taking major tournaments much in Legacy, so since like 2016). On the other side of the RO4, Cure beat Trap - another big upset. Trap is pretty easily considered the best Protoss in the world. The finals are now between Zest and Cure, happening Thursday. Maru is up to 4 GSL wins and is still strong, trying for his G5L achievement. To jump a bit into the recent past, BlizzCon's 2018 World Championships, where a foreigner, Serral, took the title for the first time away from the Koreans. Harstem, Pig & Lambo are putting out some supreme content. Wardi is a content machine, Lowko's still kicking around, strong as ever. BeastyQT and Winter are still locked on the SC content. All these have strong RU-vid involvement. Some of the other big casters from the past are still doing it, ZombieGrub, Rotterdam, Maynard - mostly just on Twitch, though. Florencio's cheese has never smelt stronger. We've even been seeing some of the best players stream their first-person ladder games, Serral, Reynor, Clem, HeroMarine, Parting. Parting's comeback story is another *chef's kiss* awesome bit of drama, even including a 1-pylon ramp block against Solar in the GSL. TY finally won a GSL recently, but he's now left for the military. DRG and Dream also came back after their military service and are showing impressive games. I'm missing soooo much, but I'll stop there.
Great to see TLO, when I followed SC2 a decade ago he was a big name and I loved his play style. Very creative but calculated. Congratulations on your Doctor TLO!
It will always be LiquidTLO for me, my word the early days of WOL were fun, the game was new (and broken af) and my first game of SC2 I ever watched had Dario in it.
15 points today. Not my best or my worst. I kept underestimating the players for the first three rounds. Maybe I'm in a bad mood today. I finally got it corrected in round 4. . . . R1: G2 - 3 Points R2: S3 - 5 Points R3: D3 - 6 Points R4: D1 - 2 Points
When there's enough Rank Roulette sessions, there could be a Rank Roulette Rank Roulette (or Meta Rank Roulette) where a match is shown, then the distorted voice of the previous guest explains his ideas, then the current guest has to guess how many points the previous guest got.
Hmm, on the tool to check your results we can see the average community result. But the community result is based on the most voted rank, not the average. Shouldn't both use the same metric?
I'm standing at 3 points, I feel like people are cheating somehow based on the number of people at 0 and 1 points, it's like as many people as the rest of the ranks combined, I nailed it last week with gold 1, I wish this week it was the Terran we had to place because I think that would be a little easier, is this better or worse than last weeks? I feel like the protoss probably gets a lot of wins with those coinflip strats and that stops being effective at plat I think, I mean you'll still lose plenty of games lower but I think you could rise through the metal leagues quite easily playing that way. Hmmmm
I like how at 0:42 Harstem hold's some kind of journal instead of actual book because you can't find actual books nowadays when everyone got only eBooks. Really not convincing.
Man, at the title I was about "TLO IS BACK" just to get let down by just washed up sc2 players rate more inferior players. Nah, I was like "Wtf my HERO beside HUSKY is going to rate the newbies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
