I want to believe. Grubby, as a former orc player and long time fan, I am eagerly awaiting the day you start showing the amazing games you did in WC3. I still remember the game where I became your fan. It was a game on turtle rock when witch doctors were still used vs. human. You were fighting a seeming losing battle with your tauren chieftain deep in the red. He was so close to level 6 that when he fell I was not sure if you were able to pick resurrection or not. In a seeming retreat, you threw down a stasis trap and withdrew your battered army. However, you stopped mid retreat taking seemingly needless losses. It was at that moment your chieftain revived and threw down a terrible shockwave in the midst of your enemies caster line. No sooner did the chieftain deal his first wave of damage but the stasis trap, thrown in what formerly seemed as a desperate attempt, went off stunning the entire human army, giving the chieftain time to deal his second devastating shock wave, eliminating the entire caster line and decimating the opponents heroes. A seeming loss was instantly turned into victory and it was then that I realized that each step of that battle was planned and the outcome an inevitable part of it. Thanks for the memories, and hope of more to come in SC2.

Very dissapointed he chose the MLG caster gig over showing us play at DH, never thought Grubby would turn down a chance to succeed as a competitor.

In response to one of the first tournaments that incorporated professional players co-casting (forgot which it was), Slasher tweeted that he thought that players should not do this. I think his argument was that players are, in general, not as good at it compared to the professional casters and they should also not be "rewarded" for going out of the tournament early. The argument went back and forth between him and several other people, among them Huk, Incontrol, Wheat et al., where the general consensus was that pro players always have better insight into the game compared to even some of the best casters. Slasher, not understanding anything about the game, was a little slow to comprehend. After listening to Grubby and Idra give their game analyses at IEM the last couple days and Grubby also really bring excitement across like some of the best casters, Slasher SHOULD now feel really stupid about his statements.
