Man Grubby looks extremely uncomfortable/nervous. I don't know how his meditating or whatever works for him but to me he doesn't look like he's in the right mindset for competition. o_O

That's what he always does, he tries to keep his cool. He's been a competitor for so many years, I think he knows what works .


I dunno I've been following Grubby for a while but I haven't seen him like this before. It took him a while to choose those maps and just seems more emotional to everything right now.

Random according to Liquipedia, and as for skill level, I'm not sure but assuming at least Masters?

Liquipedia lists him as random, but Terran comes to mind for some reason. I don't know about his rank but I assume it's decent based upon how big of a gamer he is, I'm assuming he's played enough to be diamond/masters, but I have nothing to support this.

Someone not following the Korean scene said he was a no name! Trust the man, he must be an authority on the matter


Yeah I mean we were watching WCS Korea right? It wasn't like this was the European scene or WCS Europe!

HOTS masters, I think he was in diamond in WOL. When he started commentating his game knowledge was so bad only Apollo could help him out :D

He was diamond at the very start of his casting but I believe he achieved masters during WoL I believe before he joined mouz.

If name is based off results like he said, wouldnt that make nearly every foreigner a no name?

I.... I guess so.

I think it exposes how ridiculous it is for people to say people are known by results alone. FFS, only one guy can win every tournament. It's not like there's one a week and it's common to be a champion.


Basically it's claiming that a "no-name" Korean = Hasn't won a GSL/ MLG/ DH, which is hilarious because those Koreans can still beat the best (let alone the average) foreigner.


Yeah that is probably the main reason for the decline of SC2 as e-sport.


I hear there's a tombstone already picked out for e-sports.


Well the other games seems to being doing okay. No of course SC2 is not going die completely but I honestly think that KESPAs movement into SC2 is in a long term perspective will cause a dramatic reduction in the amount of people watching SC2.

Korea was already heavily dominating before, now they started to dominate twice as hard and that was the last thing SC2 needed. Not only do we have a situation were 95 out of the 100 best players are from one country which of course is terrible thing on it own. However to make things even worse have 90% of these players almost no means for connecting to an audience outside of Korea.

Not only do they have a introverted/none public personalities but are also none exclusively monolingual, only communicating in a language that extremely few people outside of South Korea understand.

So yeah, it is just bad all around for SC2 as a whole.


You realize there's a whole lot of games other than SC2, DotA2 and LoL right?



Yeah, but I do however not realize how that information relates to my post


You say "Well the other games seems to being doing okay. " even though SC2 is almost consistently the #3 game on Twitch, sometimes even #2. How is it doing so poorly again?


It is not, but I think if they current trends continues with introverted monolingual Korean players winning a close to every tournament it will do before long.

Stephano retiring, NA scene being semi dead and Korea being twice as strong as ever in SC2. Does not look good to me, of course it will be large in Korea so it wont go away completely.


It's not even close to being large in Korea... that's a huge part of the problem. So you have a scene with a shitton of insane talent, that's very cut-throat, but there isn't quite that much local interest for it. Why do you think so many Koreans compete abroad or want to join foreign teams?

Think about it from that perspective as well.
