Don't like the fact that you have to either win a bsg/be a substantial contributor (calrify this please, is it just strategy/quality posts or monetary contributions?).

This should be open to everyone to view as it looks like you have put alot of work into it, i assume sc2sea.com is trying to be the teamliquid of sea, tl does not charge for any of it's strategy forums or whatnot.

Letting this information be viewable by anyone will help to grow the average skill level of lower league players on sea (and other servers) and it will allow higher tier players to also contribute with their knowledge (or fixing mistakes if any are found in the guide)

Gerlan this is obviously a time-consuming project and I'm sure Nirvana/whoever else is updating it won't be charging an excessive fee for access. With the huge amount of work Nirvana puts into running the site and constant events already I only think its fair that he gets fed :P.

Seriously though, sc2sea is awesome, and growing exponentially, but will never be a teamliquid, not for atleast another 5 or 10 years (assuming we see the English-speaking SEA e-sports community grow drastically). Till then whilst growing the site is admirable, it won't be bringing in any more income then a small pittance.

Also there are many top players on NA who post snippets on TL advertising their detailed guides just like this one, and they charge for them. So yeah basically just saying its not gunna cost alot and i think charging for it is the right idea.

Peace

On TL strategy forum you usually have to sort through the crap to find pieces of gold. Even then you cant be sure its real gold.

Sure, the strategy forums have improved recently but when I see stuff like 1 base +1 speedling builds that dont show the author wanting to take any expansions at all...
