Liquipedia was really happy to have been a big part of TeamLiquid's MLG Anaheim portal, being featured in big banners. The results have been incredible. We've received a lot of messages from people all around the globe checking Liquipedia for updates, using their computers or phones, and, though I'm not one to boast, these figures speak for themselves (thx to R1CH).

Pretty amazing - Liquipedia wants to be the primary source of StarCraft related knowledge and on the discipline of keeping track of tournaments we're doing extremely well. As we heard:

As we heard: Here's something: people in the back stage at MLG had Liquipedia open for the results. So yeah

The main point, though, is the following: The MLG Anaheim articles could not have been such a success if they had not been updated accurately and often. We have our contributors to thank for that. To quote my colleague Noam:



[22:13] <Noam> so far i havent been able to make a single score edit count

[22:13] <Noam> every time i go in and click edit i get the "someone else has.."

[22:13] <Noam> these guys are too good



Today we want to hail these people. It's been good to see some regulars as well as new names appear among the editors and we could name people like JBright, Wren, 2par, Deyster, Aoe2fan and Dezzimal but, to be honest, the list goes



What also went down was Assembly Summer. There, our contributors also helped destitute viewers to find the most accurate results in record time. We salute everyone who helped out and present the List of Contributors:

There is however one person in particular we'd like to acknowledge: Blahz0r, whose contributions by now run into the hundreds. Last but not least, a huge shoutout to everyone on the TeamLiquid Twitter account, who have provided us with superfast result updates throughout the events.What also went down was Assembly Summer.

By salle

When StarCraft 2 and Liquipedia 2 started, one might have drawn the conclusion that the strategy section of LP2 would be as great as its predecessor's. But sadly, that's not the case... yet. Due to strategies evolving so fast in the new game because of balancing patches, a lot of strategy articles were outdated before they were even completed. So there were fewer and fewer contributions to the strategy section.



This doesn't mean it's terrible or that no one uses it. In fact in the last 30 days, the three races' main strategy pages have had between 200k and 230k page views each. If you Google "Protoss/Terran/Zerg Strategies," these pages are typically the number one result. So there are a lot of people looking up strategies on LP2 but the amount of contributions to the strategy section as a whole isn't up to the challenge.
