A fairly mediocre Terran player who's most notable for getting banned from Clan Wars S1 for making fun of Minigun's illnesses. He's also kind of known for doing some off-the-wall builds too, like mass Reaper.
We thought RuFF would be an interesting choice because he likes to play non-standard games, it is likely that we will get to see some cool builds designed around the double harvest mod
kinda off match subject but on twitch to you still just have source quality only ask is because my internet sucks and its really hard to watch i still do but would be nice if there were a low or medium option.

unfortunately twitch only offers quality options for partnered streams because of the strain that it puts on their system, we have applied for partnership recently but were declined

the mineral difference means timings are outta the window thats why its so weird lol
main thing is getting games played on the mod, worst case its something that blizz can tuck away for a rainy day a couple of years down the line if they want to fresh the game up when the timings are figured out to the point of boredom

Cheese, early agression and cutting out workers for a bigger army - these tactics seem more valid for DH9. I don't think they are OP though. If the defender knew about the new timings and aggression posibilities, he would be better prepared. For example - that match where Scarlett went roaches on 8 mineral-mining workers. RuFF was surprised to see it so early and was not prepared. But if he knew that could happen, he could have scouted a bit earlier and raise an appriopriate defense - e.g. have a bunker actually finished.
In early days of WoL there were openers that people didn't know how to respond, too.
