Shin RagnaroK Hee Bum, has joined PSISTORM Gaming Shin Hee Bum will move to USA and is looking to play in WCS, once he obtains P1 visa.
The player will also change his ID from Ragnarok to HB]heebeom
The Zerg player nowadays is a known streamer in the Korean and foreign community, but he qualified for the last 2 seasons of GSL and used to post good results, especially known for his GSTL performances, for teams TSL, IM and AZUBU
|
Good for RagnaroK, he's shown the occasional strong result in qualifiers/online cups lately. If he practices hard he could go far in wcs events
|
Best of luck to him in WCS
|
Ragnarok will dominate WCS.
|
Best of luck to him!
Kinda sad that he is not Terran . Even more ZvZ in the top8 of WCS tournaments.
|
Ragnarok isnt good enough to dominate the top foreigners but he should get top 8 quite a bit, similar to True.

Intriguing!
PSISTORM really pushing Blizzard to examine their rules headed into 2019
|
I hope he doesn't have too much trouble with his visa. Not a fan of the name change though--seems like a downgrade.

It's his initials. He's strayed down the same path as KangHo did. Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Ragnarok is such a cool ID. I'd like him to rethink if the change is really needed.

Every name changer wants to be TY but ends up being KangHo

HB stands for his name. Like MC for Min Cheul.

Tbh i would have LOVED to see Bunny or Keen doing that since foreign scene has mainly zerg champions (and protoss when Neeb is hot). But still good luck Ragnarok, I can see him doing top 4 but not winning.

(though, to be fair, this worked/works much better for JD, MC and TY, BH doesn't sound right)

I hope he does well, has been around for a long time. The new ID is heebeom or HB?

The foreign scene is so lacking in terrans that even if Bunny and Ragnarok were of the same level (and Bunny is quite a bit better), Bunny would have a much better chance.

Also Korean terrans are the bane of foreigner protoss, even Neeb at his peak would struggle. But I'd favor serral over non-top korean terran.

Neeb's struggled even with the lesser korean terrans like jjakji iirc

He lost 1-2 last year, though he also went 2-3 against TY in the GSL vs. The World, and I feel like TY was a much better TvPer than jjakji. Neeb hasn't played enough against Korean Terrans offline in general, though he has certainly played Koreans of Bunny's level or higher and won against them in an online setting (of course online being a much different setting than offline).

After that series he spent the entire following year slumping and getting smashed by just about everyone.

Glad to see Ragnarok still around, making moves and now traveling to the US! Best of luck to him. The Circuit just got a little bit harder.
|
How does PSISTORM spend so much money into hiring new players ? I mean it is great, just wondering.

About his name change:
I guess we could call him HB just like Jaedong and JD.
But it's Heebeom for now.

Yes, afterwards he wasn't doing that great in general, so I wouldn't really say, that Korean Terrans were his problem. I'm just surprised how people come to this conclusion. I don't think there are that many foreign protosses in general who are at top level. Namely, Neeb and Showtime.

Pretty cool to see a new face in the WCS scene. Those saying he's gonna come over here and dominate though :')

will that be pronounced "he-bum"? looking forward to the jokes if so

That's not better though.

It all depends on the Visa process. From what pengwin said during the original announcement, Valencia is unlikely and Montreal's more realistic, but things might have changed since then.

so are we going to see Ragnarok as part of the Curcuit in 2019? any news?
