 Grubby. Read up on what mindset he came into IEM with, from being a last-minute stand-in.Check it out at http://gosugamers.net/starcraft2/news/18829-grubby-everything-good-that-happened-to-me-i-owe-to-warcraft GosuGamers: Grubby, you arrived here yesterday as a last replacement in your group and you had a really rough time in the first day. Can you just walk us through your experience thus far at IEM? Grubby: Yeah, as you said I came as a last minute replacement and did not know the tournament maps or exactly who was in my group. There were a lot of protosses but I didn't do any particular training, just ladder practice. But I wanted to help ESL in having a player in the group and I was next in the ranking of the people who could actually make it. Thus, in that way I guess I deserve it due to my HomeStory Cup performance but normally I would have done more particular preparation. Still, I figured I give it a shot: if it goes well - great, if not I'll try not to guilt myself. I started off with a rough loss against MC, then HasuObs also played really really well. Against Elfi, I was up one-nill and I felt I was doing really well in the second game but I missed my forcefield and he walked down the ramp and I shouldn't have let him get out that way. GosuGamers: PvP is a very volatile match but would that if you had a decent time to prepare you would have done much better? Grubby: Well, having to play only one match-up can be considered some kind of an advantage but at the same time I felt that with having so many protosses, no one will go 5-0 in the group. I'm not the one to say that PvP is a luck match-up, I don´t believe that, but on the other hand I know that it's extremely difficult to go 10-0 in a group with four other protosses. I expected that everyone will be trading blows and as you can see no one ever went 4-1. But yeah, I think with more preparation in PvP I would have had a wider spectrum of strategies. I have some that work quite well but there are other that I am not quite familiar with and I try to adapt to them on the fly. But I can't complain - I am here after all, I am watching the games, having fun and it's still really nice to be here. | ||

I know it sucks to see you favorite players go out one by one, but he's in a position where he's expected to be (or at least pretend to be) a bit more objective, I really don't care about what players he likes and it's certainly not neccessary to hear all that negativity, specially towards a group of highly skilled players whose only 'fault' is being korean. | ||

Koreans after group phase: 66,6% But I think foreigners performed not that bad so far. MC and Supernova only 3:2 + instead of Violet/Jyp Socke could have easily andvanced, too. | ||

I think they count first, who had won more maps, then the difference and then head-to-head. | ||

Killer would have 9-5, which is better than the 8-4 of PuMa according to the rulebook and would therefore be 1st in the group.

Depends on what you expect I suppose. I expected IdrA to beat MMA! Across groups somehow! But yeah, foreigners did quite well in group B and D. Just maybe not the fan favorites in terms of foreigners. | ||

And indeed, Bitter is a overrated caster, he is so freaking biased, and also have poor game senses about what is going to happen during the game. I have nothing aganist the guy, seems a really cool person, but as a caster, imo he suck. And balance seems much much better than some months ago, most races have 50%+-5. | ||

If I understand correctly, MMA, MC, Feast and Puma are in the Quarterfinals. That leaves 8 players for the RO16... I'm so confused. | ||

This seems to give kind of an advantage for the quarterfinal #1, with more rest for the semifinal, except you don't know who your opponent is until the following day anyway. Still, you could have a PvP determining your next opponent. Sorry if this sounds stupid, but how does the RO16 work? If I understand correctly, MMA, MC, Feast and Puma are in the Quarterfinals. That leaves 8 players for the RO16... I'm so confused. There's basically just two consecutive rounds of 8, with the 4 from the first round advancing to play the 4 seeded players in the next round. | ||
