When we started Teamliquid eight years ago, we had a vision of being the best StarCraft site in the world. Back then, this wasn't a very difficult accomplishment. What we didn't realize is what being the best SC site in the world could lead to. Teamliquid is an amazing place and it's a joy to be a part of TL's community. We have 150 staff members and nearly two million unique visitors per month -- it's all pretty surreal. For eight long years we ran this site as volunteers simply because we had a shared passion. I guess you could say we shared two passions, one being SC and one being TL. The first passion was at the base of our foundation, but the second one became more and more important over time.
