I really hope the (British?) commentator Chumpesque starts commentating Sc2 games. He mumbles a tiny bit, but hes super intuitive and he really keeps the energy of a game going. I remember him saying something about being a big Grubby fan, thus the off-topic tangent.

Heres a commentary of Happy vs Grubby:

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



Was about to mention this, glad someone else did, because it's news a month old

Anyways, still good news though, the day SC2 was announced I really hoped it would unite the pro SC and WC3 players, and so far its doing a good job

Nice to see players willing to recognise when something is in its twilight years, and just channel all that talent into something else.

Looking forward to seeing how he does.

Another cool thing that I'm looking forward too over the coming years is a change in the average age of progamers, to finally break the myth that only the very young can play well.

As we see "second generation" progamers migrating from WC3 and SC to SC2, there will be many more approaching late 20s/early 30s, which is currently considered "grandpa" age. We already know that those players can be dominant (White-Ra anyone?) and I suspect that we'll see more great players who are older. With age comes experience... obviously some dexterity is lost, but I doubt it's enough to counteract the many extra years of practice.

It will be good for the scene, too. Who wants to get into gaming seriously if the only top gamers they see are 5+ years younger than them?

orc was severely underpowered for a long time. grubby also went emo at some point and made a blog about wanting to change his race to human because he was so fed up.

Pretty much yea. Orc was the underdog vs Hu and Ne for about 4-5 years until people finally discovered how to abuse the BM with items. Meanwhile, Grubby has been dominating the scene for years and years.

Has more to do with the buff to windwalk (walking through units) than item abuse, altough boots of speed are mandatory for blademaster usage.

was reading about Grubby in the dutch newspapers (NRC) a week back, it was an article on competitive gaming, and stated Grubby was a very famous world of warcraft player...

my face was never that deep in my palm after reading that ~.~
I'll bite this hand that feeds me, and take it for my own!

Uh what? Windwalk could walk through units since like 2004.

BUMP because of this:

http://www.assembly.org/winter11/news/steelseries-challenge-sc2-first-participants-chosen

As you can see the players include a wide array of recognizable names from all around Europe and beyond, from Danish 6pools to solid American Terran power and a variety of constant top performers in European leagues. However one name might strike out to many: Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen, the legendary Orc player from WarCraft III has finally joined the fray for real on the StarCraft side of things, making his first major tournament appearance. Does he have a say against established top-tier players such as Naama, SjoW and DeMusliM? We'll find out in two month's time!


seems like he wasn't lying, Grubby playing SCII :D

Oh god i'm super excited!

Grubby has to be one of my favourite gamers ever, let alone WarCraft 3 players. I wish him great success in the coming years of SC2, also I wonder what race he'll stick with
to live is to suffer
