This was GuMiho's first time playing HotS... I doubt he would make it no matter who he faced. (Taken from Leenock Code A interview - http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=398382 )

Oh cool. Hoping to see some ridiculously abusive builds to steal >_>

Can probably count on MKP to do just that.

Oh...it's pre-hellbatdrop nerf

I think he would at least know about them. It's not like no one in the FXO house is playing HoTS. He could probably ask Lucky and he'd be like "omg medivac boosts and hellbats"
