I dont know if anyone has mentioned this before, but after Ruby beat DaezanG in last years proleague match between MBC and ACE, Ruby made a halfassed salute to the camera with his left hand as some kind of ceremony.

For those who do not know about military rules, you are only allowed to salute with the right hand in the army, and the Airforce. The Navy permits left hand salutes, if you're somehow physically unable to use your right hand. A left hand salute is generally considered to be an insult.

Now I dont know if Ruby is left handed, but I hope hes aware of this when he goes in, or he'll very soon find out
Anyway heres the video.

wow I didn't know about the navy permitting left handed salutes. I read in some trivia book that armed forces all over the world all salute with their right hands.

He may not have made it on purpose ? I mean look after his gesture, seems like he said to himself : "oh dawg, i did it with the wrong arm, oh well whatever".
Plus he's young, he may not know that it was considered rude eh ?

I'm thinking that if it was on purpose, it would be an extremely rude gesture. Since he may probably doesn't have any military training, he probably wasn't trained quite as much to use the right hand (Heh, no pun intended), so I'm thinking it was an accident.

Since when are we all such huge fans of army discipline? Big fucking deal, especially if he's left handed.

I'm guessing that they have to salute so much that it should become second nature to them. I don't see how he could of screwed it up on accident unless he is dyslexic, in which case he probably wouldn't be able to play starcraft at this level.

Dyslexia has nothing to do this... After coming off a game though I can understand feeling a rush and using your dominant hand... Still stupid though.

I didn't know anything about saluting until I was 19 and asked my dad about it.

It clearly is something that only those who care about the very lame social habits of the military would care about. No normal person see's a left handed salute and gets up in arms, only weirdos.
