Grubby is very smart riding the WC3 train for as long as possible before it completely dies out. WCG is still offering a large amount of prizes, so it is pretty stupid to just drop the game. He may also have some obligations to fulfill with EG regarding his contract, which is keeping him from switching sooner. Grubby fighting! | ||

Orc had not been nerfed for like 10 patches despite them sweeping most tournaments. He might be hoping to repeat that again - By waiting, he can choose the imba race better. Grubby was already owning with Orc when the metagame was in a phase where Orc was both weaker than HU and NE. It wasn't until early 2009 when people starting buying items for the blademaster straight from the beginning when Orc became OP, but Grubby has been around and dominating since at least 2005. | ||

He'll miss Blademastaah though :s. All in all, nice addition to a worthy benelux team. | ||

I only remember this from the "moon build" where he made planetary fortresses in his main and nat and Artosis proclaimed it the greatest build of all time | ||

Grubby have won WCG 2004 and a lot of other tourneys back when farseer was first hero. His understanding of meta game, timing and micro are awesome. Lyn is killing machine who implements standard very well. The rest of orcs became popular when imba BM was discovered i.e. Lucifron, Fly, Who... But you have to know that it's not easy to use BM. Multitasking is very important, BM always has to harass, while your army is creeping and defending base by burrow-peon micro. He is definitely better than lucifron, who indeed have been using orc in wc3 and terran in sc2 - imba races of each game. | ||

Truth. For a long, long time the WC3 scene was dominated by Human and NE players, with the Korean Undeads being few but consistently placing highly in tournaments. But for about 4-5 years Orc was represented by Grubby... and maybe one or two other flavor of the season orcs. It wasn't until about mid 2008 after Moon's second reign of terror that orc took over the scene. | ||

Lucifron picked up and performed well with Terran first day of beta. You know when roaches were the most OP unit in an RTS ever and when warpgates were on steroids. Also, it has shown that the BM isn't so imba after all now when people know how to deal with it, just look at recent tournaments, orcs aren't a big deal anymore, Except for Orc v UD, that matchup is still broken. | ||

Also, some guy at WMF was saying before SC 2 beta that Moon had been practicing with WMF B teamers and managed to actually beat some of them, that he considered him as a genius. I think Moon would definetly be as good as tester, if not better. | ||
