I would like to say in behalf of the Philippines..

we <3 ret, we always enjoy you're live streams!

go go go and be the best foreigner! ^^
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

p.s.s : I advise anyone to watch Jaedong vs Iris with subtitles on Python, korean commentators have awesome game knowledge.

Can anyone link me to this?

btw if you're going to do multiple p.s.'s you should add more p's not more s's - p.s. stands for post script so p.p.s. stands for post post script (post being a prefix that means "after")

Really sweet read

I have tried and failed many times to get good at SC. I always run into the problem where I get steamrolled and don't understand what to do to fix it. Meh, maybe ill give it a try again sometime before SC2 comes out

I'd like to say thanks to Ret for all the joy that I feel when I watch him play. I'm sure we all wish him the best in all his pursuits including (especially ) StarCraft!

Nice writing ret. Plz give some insight to ZvZ. I knew the other insights, but ZvZ im often totally clueless to why I won or lost.

And more streaming. I love watching you play, it has really helped me alot!

Thanks for taking the time to explain what/who helped you get better. I really wish a Gosu protoss would take the time to explain the timings for all the mu's. Thanks

Important tip Clear must have left out: in ZvT you have to remember to build a sunken. (oh, I don't know, on Colo 2 for example, vs. vulture harass maybe?)

Seriously though, this was an incredibly awesome blog, thanks for the insights / sharing.
