As a fellow SEA player I thought I might give a little insight on some of pet's little comments made in the interview.

David Gore is a New Zealand zerg player who is a year old than petraeus, he is GM on the NA Server last I ckecked. His ID Is MightyKiwi.

For the Zerg chat we used to have a pretty active one, however, certain players stopped complaining about Terran and so it is basically dead now.

Lastly, #dedication is a hashtag used by fray players as a sort of degrading thing to someone who isn't playing sc2. For example, "OMG I JUST GOT LEVEL 30 IN LEAGUE" "wow get some #dedication". From there it's pretty much just what you say in the sea scene. Petraeus is largely the main reason it's popular due to his immense #dedication.

Oh and Cam is a "retired" Zerg player from australia who's Mum is famous amongst sc players. As a sea player your bread and butter shoutouts are sponsors, team, specific people and Cam's Mum.

Yes we spell it mum in Australia, deal with it.

As anti-militarism as I usually am, I don't think it's all that accurate to refer to Petraeus as "disgraced". I mean, his military career is usually regarded as highly competent and free of any serious controversy, with the possible exception of when some policymakers used his military-media campaign information as if it were not intended for military purposes. The sex scandal didn't really say anything about his job, it just made it unlikely for him to ever be able to enter politics.

Great interview, btw. You did a good job of trying to bring out the best responses from Petraeus, although it didn't always work.

You need to do these interviews WAY more often with the english-speaking players at least. Or translated versions from other languages. This had me cracking up, I'm gonna try to catch his games now...

Also, is the title a spoof on Colbert's "Better know a District" segment?

Theory is when you know everything but nothing works. Practice is when everything works but no one knows why. In our lab, theory and practice are combined: nothing works and no one knows why.

It's something we use to push each other to greater levels in SC2 and I think has been a driving factor to why fray is one of the best SC2 teams in SEA.

He sure is an interesting and often misunderstood kid. People tend to single him out as being bad manner, yet in reality he is actually incredibly funny. His stream is becoming rather popular too and he has come a long way from the shy 15 year old I accosted at an internet cafe to a dedicated, commentating, GM on three server player.

I am proud of you kiddo!
