Never watched Reynad's videos, just know of him that he streams HS. I was just curious what this whole "salt" thing is with him and why everytime the HS Card "Salty Dog" is mentioned it's paralleled to him?
Salt refers to how "tilted" or angry a player becomes when they believe they should've won a game and lost it due to "complete luck" as they say. Reynad is known as the saltiest player simply because he expresses this "salt" openly. An example of a salty sentence could be "He topdecked the won card that would've won him the game"

A deck is successful not when it wins, but when it does what you built it to do.
reynad is pretty awesome player for me.. yes i enjoy watching him getting all salty and losing to the most impossible RNG but he is solid player anyway :)
In the 1500s salty meant racy or inappropriate. So sailors (renowned for their foulmouths) were often described as Salty(this is the origin of the term Salty Dog). Somehow in American culture around the 1920s it started to be used as slang for when a sailor got upset. A sailor would trash a place and someone would ask "why did he get so salty?" its continued on to the point that anytime someone gets annoyed they're "getting salty".
Reynad is well known both for getting annoyed at RNG, his viewers, other players, etc and for using foul language. So pretty much he fits both descriptions of salty. He is the king of salt. When Salty Dog was announced it wasn't long (I saw it within hours of the card announcement) before people were photoshopping his face onto the card. He is the Salty Dog.
