Everyone is practicing different amounts of time due to different commitments and levels of interest. Just because Grubby's reason is being a progamer at another game doesn't make him special. If he plays 4 hours of sc2 a day and 4 hours of wc3 a day, he can get top 3 in major tournaments in both as long as he's talented. If he does relatively poorly at sc2, I hope no one makes any excuses for him :o I wonder though. It's not just the time, it's that playing two different games which require different strategies, mechanics and thought processes might be a difficult balance. I don't know! I look forward to seeing how he does. | ||

But I wonder if you (or Grubby, for exemple), played like 8h a day, how would it be? | ||

I played WC3 for 8 years and after a few months of SC2 I can't even remember an opening. WC3 and SC2 are the complete oposites and the only thing in common between these games is the interface. Having said that I wish Grubby the best of luck in SC2 and I hope he becomes among the best players of this game. After all if there is a non-Korean player I would root for till the end, that's Grubby. I just remembered all the good times I had watching this guy play . Moon and Lyn are doing it well enough to have reached Open GSL2 so I doubt a player of similar caliber has trouble switching between the games. Playing games at that level for so long probably gives you an edge. I hope to see more of Grubby I always loved his Orc playstyle in WC3 and can't wait to see how he does in SC2. | ||

The idea that WC3 players have super amazing micro is completely false as far as I have seen. I refuse to believe that anybody on the planet has micro as good as Jaedong, not to mention his macro. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary from Moon in the GSL. | ||

Also I think it's to early to judge players like Moon and Lyn like I have said earlier. As for the Grubby vs Moon, it's like fighting over Bryant vs James or Manning vs Brady, let's just say they are both good and keep it at that. | ||

Grubby has been the best player when orc was considered the weakest race also, while night elf is the only race that was never considered weak. Grubby and Moon both started around the same time. There were RoC tournaments too. | ||

RoC and TFT are 2 WAY different games with different unit cost, units and build all together, so no, they don't count. | ||

Regardless of your opinion, there were RoC tournaments in which Moon was successful in. That's similar to saying all pro gamer success during SC2: Wings of Liberty didn't count when Heart of the Swarm is released. | ||
