Idk why they picked him for the show match? I mean seriously..They could have picked ANYBODY to play it maybe the result wouldn't be 2-0. I mean seriously.. for a Korean Starcraft event they pick some Wc3 player that has barely played the game..No offense to gruby but still.. Korea has a lot more to pick from then a Wc3 player.. | ||

I think it was common knowledge to everyone that Garimto was going to have a field day with Grubby. I'm not a war3 player, but Grubby is a common name for anyone that follows Esports, and thus it makes for an interesting match. | ||

Let me break it down for you: Garimto - Ex PRO BW Grubby - Most dominant War3 player Garimto + Grubby = Huge audience with many interested fans from both sides | ||

That has nothing to do with a match being interesting. The games were just bad. | ||

I don't think he will ever really make it into the sc2 scene. I imagine after wc3 fully dies out he will partner up with esports people and be the next fatal1ty. =P | ||

If you read the quote of the guy i quoted he stated that they could have done a better job picking a better player to face Garimto. I don't care how interesting the game was, all i'm saying is that picking Grubby to face Garimto will attract more of an audience because of his name, not the caliber of his skills. I'm confident that the main objective of this showcase was simply to attract a broader set of viewers. | ||

Other than that it was entertaining to watch. I really think Grubby should have won the second game, despite many mistakes walking into tank lines because he was very far ahead after that first push or two. | ||

Blizzard does not have to convince WC3 players to hop on the SC2 train, they know their game has zero future. It is the people who have been playing BW for such a long time and the many people who aspire to be BW professions they need to convince to play SC2. Tester vs. Garimto would have been a much better showmatch and accomplish their goal (if that was it) better than Grubby vs. Garimto | ||
