To be honest, if I didn't learn French at all here in Quebec, I'd be missing out on the country and would probably be hating it here. Well, in Québec people are wary of their language. If you step on it, it's exactly like stepping on the whole culture itself. its the same everywhere. From my experience with foreign countires people are rather friendly with foreigners and always want to help out and if they know any bit at all will try to communicate in your language. But it's the effort that counts. They want to see you try to speak in their language. If youre there for years and dont even put in any effort people will think youre lazy and disrespectful. Really? Everywhere? Or are you just making random shit up right now in order to have something to say? I'd love to see you on a 12 hour schedule every day while still squeezing in lessons in $randomlanguage in order to become fluent in it. People that are "rather friendly with foreigners" won't give a shit about whether you speak their language or not as long as you know how to behave. I've lived in Greece for a while and while learning a few common words and phrases makes a nice impression, it has absolutely no impact on how you're regarded as a person. The secret formula is proper behavior. Same for friends from school which happened to end up going to universities in various countries and living there. The only people that are really, seriously, bitchy about people not being able to speak their language are the french. I'm not trying to troll here in any way, but the french are so extremely patriotic that it's not even funny anymore. Americans have nothing on that.
Well I'm not sure if I quite agree, but yeah at least over here in Finland no one expects you to speak Finnish and we'll happily speak English to the best of our abilities.
I guess that's true for like France or Germany but yeah it's not like that everywhere. I'm not really into that kind of an attitude anyway.

Sign me up, IdrA is one of my favorite players in and out of games. He prefers to speak the truth and I can relate. Too bad hes moving back, he had a good chance at GSL.

Damn the Stan "Grack" song on TL open #14 made me travel way back in my memory. Go Grack! Thanks Chill, Artosis, TL, and the creator of the Stan "Grack" song.

That song was really well thought ^_^

Morrow just came short of a win again. Idras word is LAW (albeit by one game)

Someone needs to make a poster called "Grack to the Future" with Greg dressed up as Michael J. Fox.

*Sigh* Why?

Idras not in GSL anymore. Oh well. Go Ret!

Has 'Idra' and 'Merchandise' ever been in the same sentence together? I think Idra could be one of the most marketable SC2 players going around (or maybe that's just in my head).
I for one would be very happy to walk around in a shirt emblazoned with 'Release the Gracken!' and maybe Idra's face.
If small underground metal bands can produce shirts (which supposedly makes up for a fair amount of their revenue), I wonder why pro-gamers couldn't?

Some time ago I started delaying the updates intentionally and am doing them in chunks instead. I think that this way it is easier for people who don't read absolutely every post to keep track with what's new.
I am also going to add a new category to the OP for links to the updates for even easier access.
(also, for some reason I am unable to edit the OP at the moment but hopefully the mods would help me with that)

I'm still waiting for the IdrA T-Shirt that has his "If you don't get mad when you lose, you don't care enough." quote.

I would love an IdrA doll with one of those strings in the back.
When you pull it, it uses catchy phrases such as
"Apologize for playing that race"
"Making carriers is a good talent toi have."
etc :D

Or better yet, a custom GG button with IdrA's face on it. You hit it expecting IdrA's voice that says:"GG", but instead, nothing happens.

I respect him 
he owned clide/zenio
Made me LOL my ass off!
IDRA YOU ROCK BRAH!

I totally agree with the merchandise idea. I have been wondering the samething too. Why don't teams release their shirts (like how we get to buy football teams' shirts) and shirts with references to their players (like band shirts)? They would make quite a few more bucks, especially the big teams
