Ruin is the mysterious 'Hong Deok' that every LG-IM player thanks in their winners interviews.
Interesting to read up he was kicked out of STX Soul's practice squad for playing in an Afreeca tournament hosted by 1a2a3a.

Finished watching the vods. Ragnarok pretty much being one of the best zergs we've seen in HotS so far, and Ruin is insaaaaane. :o Such amazing multitasking against MMA.

Good games, but I hated all the balance talk by wolf (protoss) and khaldor (zerg). Both of them kept hyping up all the new / cool stuff that P/Z can do and kept giving balance critique on how to nerf terrans

This has always been true for foreign casters,talk show hosts, etc. There are very very few terran players. That is why shows like SOTG have a pretty big bias.

Was pretty funny to see Khaldor say how good reapers openings were and Ragnarok shut it down pretty easily with lings and queens.

My favourite part was Khaldor implying none of the terrans used the builds that are good, and played into Ragnarok's hand, lol.

Watching MMA vs a zerg player was such a delight. So many memories brought back. Reminds me of old TvZs before the queen patch. Good times.

Wolf seemed to be rolling with the conversation more IMO. Khaldor, while still a really good caster, has always been quite the zerg homer -.-...but yea it was a bit excessive; all the "new stuff" terran get can also be applied to Zerg: SH, Viper, Ultras, Hydras (since he was listing a bunch of revamped units/upgrades).

What is UP with these casters constantly talking about Terran being a PROBLEM? What is this nonsense? Constantly talking about widow mines and medivacs being a PROBLEM vs Protoss. Like it HAS to be changed. Reapers vs Zerg are TOO good. I haven't seen pro games where this stuff is even close to being a problem yet

You could "see" more shit when you're laddering facing it yourself.

Irrelevant...

Anyway, Ruin just played better than every Protoss player I've seen in WoL.

Well, it sucks that Axiom-Acer lost, but I really enjoyed MMA's games, even the game he lost against Ruin. Ruin really had a great debut. Good for him.

And MMA's TvZ against Ragnarok....not as dominant as he was late 2011, but he's got that entertaining multi-drop style back.

LG-IM didn't even need their known players to crush face.

What do you mean irrelevant? They see so often that of course the complaints will crop up. I'm just wishing for at more objectively as the other races have some super buff stuff now too (Vipers/VRs).

Ruin played really well in game 5 vs MMA. I was thoroughly impressed. Some good decisions on his part paired with some poor ones by MMA. I feel like if MMA dropped a bit more later in the game or was a bit more aggressive he could have pulled out a win.
