Hello everyone,

Alot of you know me well from 2011 as one of the known unorthodox Terran players out there. Others who don't know me, welcome and hope you get to know me better!

I used to be a part of vVv Gaming and recently wasn't upholding the new requirements due to the management change. Hence, I am not on a team anymore. I love vVv for being that team out there to take in a casual player like myself who never ever thought of competing at live events. Since then I gained a bad rep for being on the team, but I didn't care what others thought so much. I was the only player on vVv to come 1 game from championship bracket at MLG Providence, which I still hold proud to myself. Thank you vVv for doing what I would have never dreamed of doing.

For all of you out there RuFF isn't gone, but just starting again! This entire year has been a big flunk of RL issues moving, relationship, and school. I have partnerships with Twitch.tv and Own3d.tv, and still plan to use my partners to stream content for all of you.

For my viewers out there, thanks for being awesome and watching me even though I was only active maybe once a week during the year! For this new year you all will be seeing me streaming probably 4+ hrs every weekday and possible weekends. I will also be looking for a new team to call home and get the experience and practice I need to go further like I did back in the day.

I'm not dead in the SC2 Community yet! So if your interested in crazy thor drops, silly marine timing attacks, mass reapers against zerg. Hit up my stream at:

http://www.own3d.tv/vVvRuFF (This may change because of leaving the team)

Also if your interested in coaching you can find me at z33k.com. I used to be the head terran coach at hotkeyit.com and my RL job is teaching! So, I know how to coach!

Thanks everyone!

vVv isn't really well known, as i've never seen any of their players compete, much less place. I am sure you can find a new team to pick you up. (Shameless plug for FXOpen.NA, who could use players)

I've not heard of you until now, but if you are truely "unothadox", that means you innovate your own builds rather than follow like a mindless sheep, and I hope the best for you.

I heard OF vVv but assumed they died a long time ago 0.o Anyways gl on the future, sucks that you have to write your own 'I
'm leaving post'....I'm guessing vVv doesn't do well at promoting themselves?

Shortizz pretty much summed it all up


i will never forget owning you on ladder and you were so enraged you started writing a lot of bm stuff about me including that you were famous and i was stream sniping you.

the funny thing about that was i had never heard of you before and was streaming too and me and the 10 people who were watching just fell of our chairs laughing...

you really acted like some kind of a starcraft superstar XD

And about the various builds that you use you are talking so much?you only 1 base marine/medivac/stim timing all-in every single game against protoss.and you've been using it for a year now?

im sorry but you just arent significant enough to post such threads... you are not a sc2 superstar,please come down to earth.

I was thinking, isn't this advertising?

Yes, doing the currently strongest, most stable and optimal builds is 'being a mindless sheep' and not simply using logic.

This is specifically against Twitch's partnership contract. You may want to revisit this...

Regardless, good luck finding a new team. I do find it weird that vVv released you as I literally know like 1-2 other people on their main roster, or whatever it is now... @_@;;

I've learned quite a few cool builds and ways to abuse the matchup watching Ruffs stream over the past year. Proxy inbase rax float/bunker in the corner tvp, 5 rax marine into reaper into stim timing or 2star tvz, etc. I don't think there are many streamers out there that go so far beyond the current meta (except maybe dragon troll games)

All the times ive played/watched people play you, your "unorthodox builds" are just all-ins

The world is a better place without another bitbybit.Prime

All i wish for you that you change your playstyle in HoTS.

Does TL really need threads about no-name players leaving a no-name team? I don't mean to be rude, but if this happened every time a player of your caliber left a team of vvv's caliber, this would be an extremely flooded forum. This isn't news by any means.

I think it takes a lot of creativity to think of his builds, it also makes the game interesting for both players and for most observers.
