That just means France has a really high # of wars fought in. Those don't really explain if France tends to win wars. I used to have the same attitude of "don't hate on france" but taking a European history course... I mean, it's pretty bad.
Come on.... Your whole argument is based on how subective the list is, and you make subective comments yourself. "Personally, I think ", " where they were so decimated that I'm counting that as a loss " ?
And if you think it's too subective for you, then just look at french win/lose ratio. It's not bad at all, at least not bad enough to associate the country with losing.
edit : oh and btw : "A. France gets into wars alot because it's in Europe."
It also means they won a shitload of them.
And " That's clearly untrue, and France lost all of those wars except the first world war "
yeah, they lost all those wars but one... wich means they lost one of them lol.
But let's stop with this, as nicky said war sux, and only americans think war history has any impact on one country's value, which is bullshit.
Nony rox, glad i could play him on iccup some months ago.

Just wow at the people crying about real life racial imbalances.
China wins because they have 1 billion people and can 1a2a3a4a5a their way to victory.
On a serious note, stop disrespecting Nony by turning this thread into a senseless debate about France's superiority/inferiority.

Each year every pro team gets 2 or 3 special progamer licenses to give out to promising individuals that have not passed courage. Idra got one of those, because he proved himself against the estro B-team. Since he has a license and a team, he can compete in OSL/MSL qualifiers and play in Proleague if his team puts him on the roster.
Normally, players have to pass courage to earn a progamer license. They are then considered semi-pro until a pro team picks them up. Nony already has a team, so if he passes courage he will be a fully licensed true progamer. No foreigner has ever passed courage, they were all granted special licenses or were there before courage existed.
If Nony wins courage, he will be the first foreigner to ever do so, and be seen as a more legitimate player than Idra in the eyes of many Koreans because he will have passed the test that other Koreans have to, instead of getting special treatment for being a foreigner. I know other Koreans get special licenses as well, but having to pass courage will earn Nony more respect.

they did.. atleast Assem did, what Legionnaire passed was the "old" courage league which was different in some way.

someone can verify this? or make some rewind and tell wich year they reach that

Legionnaire won a harder version of courage. I don't remember his post, but I believe 512 or 256 players played in his courage, and hmmm, I cannot remember the details but he had a post long ago explaining it and why it was more difficult. I believe his courage win is the most impressive to date, if any others won it.

Literally the most frustrating thing any sc player could ever do. o.O

Just as Nick said, Leg has won a different version of courage, and Assem was the only foreigner who won courage apart from him.
