That was just bad build order choice from Grubby.
When you play obs blink, you race vs T production/eco/stim+medivac.
Grubby played a slower, eco focused version of the build. But the race vs T tech was lost. And blink vs stimmed mm is useless.

The difference between Koreans and foreigners in terms of mechanical proficiency was pretty evident there. Still hoping Grubby will have some smart tactics to pull back though. Go Grubby!


Stings APM was about 100 higher then Grubby's, but I would be curious to see Grubby's APM during that epic game vs. sLivko, that was some definite mechanical proficiency . Let's hope he does not get shaken, I have always been impressed by Grubby's positive attitude. Go Grubby!!

Grubby's strong point was never his mechanics in WC3 but he out thought everyone (Also fuck blademaster). Iirc from his blogs in Korea his first priority was to improve his APM and mechanics so I imagine it's improved from his WC3 days.


Thanks for the info xAdra, I have always been a StarCraft player, so its nice to hear a bit more about how he played in WC3. Hope we see some outthinking soon!!

Grubby plays really shaky, dunno what that's about. Being in his first big final in SC2 takes its toll I suppose.

It also feels like sting is just playing really smart, he's doing the exact reaction required to shut down grubby's choices so grubby looks worse by virtue of sting's ability to counter him


2 base blink >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 4 rax marines, unless you work hard to corner yourself with blink on cooldown : - (

man, it's painful being a grubster fan

Grubby loses a lot of PvT's by defending early aggression poorly. Bomber and Mvp killed him every game with a standard two medivac stim timing the last time they played.

MC vs Sting would have been a better final even if MC isn't in great form.

I think the one base blink stalker play is a lot more likely to work than the 2 base version, the timing seems sharper. But sting is so good, this could be a quick 3-0. But grubby has his mouth open, good sign!
