May your return trip home recharge your batteries, instill confidence, determination, pride, and other often considered positive outcomes. Go have some fun and return to Korea with a fresh mindset. Please.

WCG rankings arent very accurate though.. Like some countries compete in just one or two games while others are active in tons of them.

Kinda hard to measure that anyways, but I guess we've been really succesful per capita atleast!

Congrats to Sweden for having such a kickass player. :D

That reminds me of FIFA world ranking for soccer. Interesting but pretty much bullshit. (or at least lagging heavily behind at times.)

If that would be the case then it would show that they actually used what I wrote, and I guess I would prefer that over them just doing their own thing and failing miserably anyway. Although really, all I did was explain some verbally to my father, and also wrote some 1.5 pages or so on the subject during the breaks between TSL3 games. 8)

Yes, it's in the printed version, as you can see in the OP.

Nice that you got into an article btw FA :D It's usually the father's name, but having the mother's (or even both) is getting more common I think. There's some stuff where noble surnames can only be inherited from fathers though. Silly traditions

Nice that you got into an article btw FA :D The child gets the mothers last name unless you decide otherwise. Wives usually take the husbands last name but not always (my dad took my mothers last name when they married for example).
Thanks!

So what if it has existed since 2001? I know many rankings that have existed longer and are complete crap.
On a side note, I remember you sending me a incomprehensible and somewhat offensive pm in another thread because I made a harmless comment about Goody. Maybe you should just relax and let people have opinions instead of going around the forums telling people what to do or think.

In Counter-Strike, yes. But i don't think so that in anything else.
It's great to see that Sweden is welcoming Jinro like that
|
OOOOOORRRRRR look at hes face he's so happy. I feal so proud and he's not even my Son!
Jinro baby taking over the world
|
I have a question. If Jinro's mother's name is Katherine Walsh and his father's name is Peter Karlsson (according to the article), shouldnt jinro's last name be Karlsson (Not Walsh?)
Last time i checked its fathers last name not mothers
