Story #1:
So as many of you are aware, Destiny and Sheth did a 24-hour stream/charity drive yesterday. Thousands and thousands of you tuned in to help generate ad revenue (being matched by justintv/twitchtv!), participate, donate, and have a good time.
From Destiny's paypal alone, the SC community raised over $20,000!
With Sheth's paypal donations and the ad revenue being matched by twitch.tv the total is close to $30,000!
It's so incredibly amazing to be a part of such a generous and charitable community and I hope you all are proud of yourselves (because I'm certainly proud of you).
Check out www.doctorswithoutborders.org/ so see some of the causes this helps support.
And for community story #2:
It had been brought up before, but with some invigoration and organization from every one's favorite korean/english and english/english translator Orange Milkis, it looks like reddit (aka r/starcraft) will be banding together to bring MKP to the next MLG event in Orlando. According to the post over on milkis's tumblr MKP will be allowed to represent r/starcraft with a reddit patch while competing. http://whitecosmos.tumblr.com/post/10204196871/update-on-mkp-to-mlg
Make sure you all check his blog and of course http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft

Lastly, Story #3
In less global news, a few dedicated fans have come forward and approached Destiny, Minigun, and myself in hopes of putting on a 2v2 show match series centered around team GaB! Thanks to their initial donation, we are happy to announce season 1 of the GaB show matches. The first 5 events are covered and will be brought to you every other Sunday. After that we will gauge if the demand (and the prize $$) is there for a season 2.
You can find the TL event thread here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=265362#1
