Take a look at Antoine Ruel's Hall of Fame profile and an interview with Ruel immediately after the induction ceremony here at the 2009 Magic World Championships.
The Ruels ARE the Magic Pro Tour in just about every way.
You have the Kai Budde talent
You have the Jon Finkel mindgame
You have the Karsten-like preparation
You have the Raph Levy dedication
The love of the game and the love of travel AND a good persona to back it ALL up to a magnificent representation of the entire Pro Tour experience. My hat off to the Ruel Brothers for making me see that I could possibly be on the top level of Magic, but still crack stupid jokes :P
During the interview it looks like Ruel is backing slightly away from the mic. I'm curious if he was just nervous, or felt like his personal space was in jeopardy.

The brotherly love magic has given the Ruels is truly remarkable, They're great guys and great players. The future is bright for them both.

Mic's a bit close to his face. He pulls back a little.
