This is great news for me. I'm a big Grubby fan and hope he'll do great in SC2.

I wonder if he'll stick with EG when he switches over to SC2. I personally would love to see 4Kings v2

Good news...there is no doubt he will will be awesome in sc2, too, since he has proven to have the best gamesense in wc3 around.

Assuming he is going to play Toss?!?!

Anyhow, it will be totally awesome when he officially makes the switch. The competition in SC2 is so much fiercer than in WC3 though so expecting him to be the same beast in SC2 is not realistic, but he will for SURE be a force to be reckon with.

Right now the competition is fiercer, but don't forget that at one time WC3 had a very vibrant and competitive scene. There were a lot of top players across Europe and Korea and the scene was actually pretty big. Never reached the level of StarCraft of course, but I think it was bigger than the SC2 scene is right now. That will change, of course, as time goes by.

This is great news; Grubby was a big reason for what success WC3 did have professionally, and was one of the 5 most influential players through the life of that game.

I'd love to see him play protoss, as that is the most orc-like of the SC2 races. He reinvented Orc in WC3 a few times, so it'll be interesting to see if he can have as much influence after he switches. In the meantime, I may just see if I can get some of his replays from his run in the eStars Championships. He lost to Moon in the finals, but Grubby/Moon fights are always entertaining.

I'd be excited to see Sky and Moon switch, and maybe have a few of the big 5 Korean Undead players come out of retirement.

Grubby was by far my favorite War3 progamer, I've watched countless reps of him when I was playing War3. I'm very glad that he's making the switch. Manuel Schenkhuizen fighting!

Grubby played a little bit in beta too as Terran. Also this is kinda old news for me and maybe more dutch people. He already said in an Interview at midnight launch in Rotterdam where he was signing Games that he was most likely gonna play SC2 Competitively.

Interview here!!! O.o

nice.

Also, mandatory nationalism: WOOO GRUBBY, dutch pride!

It's his wife now lol. I think it's great that Grubby is switching to SC2 soon. He may be winning a good amount of WC3 tournaments, but I think it's best to switch ASAP. He is a talented player, but I dunno how good he was in SC1, or how well he played in the SC2 beta. From what I make it out, if he sticks with WC3 until tournaments are vanishing one by one, it may be late for him to compete at a top level in SC2. I know that SC2 is still young and there isn't a lot of big tournaments yet, but if you plan to play at a high level, I think it's best to start soon.

It's not too late in the least. Are you crazy? You think the pros we have now are it?

SC2 is going to have at least a 10 year run, likely longer than that considering the expansion spacings and general promotion of eSports. What the scene looks like now is nothing like what it will be even a year from now.


I know that, which is why I said the SC2 scene is still young. If Grubby waits like 2 or so years, he might be behind. The game will continue to develop just like any other game, but if Grubby switches soon then he'll have a better edge compared to switching in like 2012 or whatever. WC3 players that switched to SC2 haven't found too big of a success since it is mainly SC1 players winning tournaments or placing high (MorroW, IdrA, Tester, White-ra, etc). Not saying that WC3 can't do it because players like Demuslim, lucifron, etc are doing well. It's that SC1 is obviously more similar than WC3.

I was under the impression that Grubby played P?

Check out his showmatch vs Garimto, for example:


Also, I'm hoping for Grubby vs MaDFrOg match in SC2...=]

Loved Grubby in WC3, in fact I think everyone did. He and Moon were the two pros everyone respected.

This is great news. Grubby is a beast. No doubt this guy will excel n SC2.

This is old news though. He already stated he might switch to SC2 next year after finishing his career of WC3 in 2010. This interwiew was shown on Day9's KOTB countdown party.

Its always struck me that, of the 3 races in SC2, Toss are the closest to a WC3-type playstyle. That is, relatively small armies with fewer number of units, but greater emphasis on micro, particularly when it comes to spellcasting/using abilities. For example, a Zealot/Stalker/Sentry army which forces the player to skillfully use forcefields, guardian shields and blink to outperform enemy armies of equivalent cost is significantly closer to a WC3-style playstyle than a Bioball or T1 Zerg army would be. I have a feeling that, of all the races, Toss may have the most potential to really reward the crazy micro skills of top WC3 players. Hell, they even have a "hero" unit of sorts, albeit one that kinda sucks
