That has nothing to do with a match being interesting. The games were just bad. 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.
They hosted that event in Korea. Why should they pick a WC3 player over a BW player? Doesn't make sense.

watched the game on scrap station and god does garimto play terrible, especialle the first mins of part 2. he only won because grubby amazingly managed to play even worse.
|
Garrito make a couple of mistake in SS, but win..., imba marauder and tank.
I hope blizzard fix terran
Second game LT, Garrito play very good and the win is more logic than first.

Those were some atrocious games on both sides. On scrap station Garimto knows that Grubby hasn't expanded and is going for some sort of 1 base DT 4 gate 1 robo 1 stargate stupidity build, so there's only one possible thing Grubby can do - kill him before his economy becomes way too strong. But instead Garimto breaks down the middle rocks, then when his natural comes under attack (no tanks in position), Garimto doesn't even bother gradually seige/unseige over to his natural, instead he amoves his tanks into Grubby's army. Builds were bad, micro was bad, strategy was bad. If Blizzard wants people to take SC2 seriously as a professional game, maybe they should find some people who are taking it seriously for showmatches.

pretty sure grubby have done better than any of you talkin shit would have with only 150 games played

So? He played bad games and Blizzard could have picked 100 better players to vs. against Garimto.

That has nothing to do with a match being interesting. The games were just bad. Precisely, but that's what they wanted. If anything this proves the game actually requires practice and experience to master, and not just general progamer skill.
For someone who isn't into sc2, the games were fun and tempting enough, so mission accomplished; also covering the fans of 2 very popular existing games with the choice of players.

grubby has been doing so many War3 tournaments the past couple months I'm surprised he even knows the tech tree quite yet.
|
idk about you guys but i like how this was done at an korean event on june 24th, yet we dont have beta back yet...I understand marketing and everything but wtf?!
|
Why almost every other poster misspells Garimto's nick? Even OP
But I would say very interesting matches, for a showmatch. Can't even describe to how great is to see Garimto playing x) Hope he sticks with sc2 in the future too.
Nice to see some changes for the archons, even though only different attack animation
|
Grubby played Terran for almost the entirety of the SC2 beta. He probably chose Protoss because it would be a more interesting series.
|
i'm sad that neither of them are zerg players

Second game LT, Garrito play very good and the win is more logic than first. That was my first impression... but, Grubby made zero air against an opponent with no anti-air. Sort of deserved to lose.
|
I was rooting for grubby, even though it was hopeless haha.
|
Looked like grubby didn't really know what to do by looking at his unit mixture he was just trying to mass the "hard" counter units like immortal.
|
Its just a fun exhibition game between 2 ppl with somewhat big names in esport scene. No point nit picking details.
Good to see sc2 being promoted, hope it lives up to the franchise
|
Grubby did really well considering that hasn't played all that much.
|
The match itself was fine, but really only 1 match? It should have been like a week long event with multiple headline matches between the top BW players.

Im not trying to be a dick on purpose, but going 4 warpgates, citidal, shrine, robo, stargate AND forge all off one base is pretty disgusting. after 10 games i could've told him that is retarded...
His choice to expand to 12 on LT also makes zero sense to me, unless it was just a pure gamble hoping garimto wouldnt see it...

Oh damn I gotta check this out. Can't wait to give this a watch, thanks for the heads up/whoever found the youtube vids.
