Kind of cocky if you ask me. Pick a side Grubby, war is coming.

He will be mediocre at SC2 and keep placing top in WC3. That's about it. Or rather, that's my feelings/thoughts about it.

Grubby is my hero and I will support him forever no matter how bad he is at SC2.

Even if he wants to play protoss, I will cheer for my orc brother.

Anyways just give it time, if SC2 takes over China chances are tournaments for WC3 will die out and he'll dedicate his time fully to SC2. I swear, people on these forums act as if you ever do anything other than SC2 you will fail miserably and die in a fire or something.


Why do you take his comment as an insult? He's just saying that Grubby might not be very good at the game right away. Which as you correctly pointed out, is true for everyone. No-one said he wouldn't be good because he plays WC3, chill.

Please, don't turn this into a WC3 vs Starcraft thread.
I think esports is pretty nice.

it's not that you'll be miserable or die in a fire, but you won't win major tournaments

how is moon as a hybrid player? i know nothing of war3 pretty much but I know "grubby" and "moon". And if moon got into the GSL ro32? ro16? w/e he got to and only practice for a few weeks b4 GSL, the sky is the limit. once grubby learns the syntax for sc2 as opposed to wc3 he will most likely be very good. And I wouldn't be surprised if he made top 8, sc2 is a lot of about luck seeing how big of a joke allins are atm.


People keep saying this but Moon had like a thousand games under his belt on his ladder account and was pretty active before his GSL matches, and again before his code A tiebreakers. He was definitely practicing hard, and he's been playing the game off and on since beta.

Most of those were as terran he had just recently switched to zerg and I shouldnt have to remind you how bad a few terrans looked switching to zerg in the last few months. You say a thousand games but thats a lot less games than other players of that level because he is still concentrating on WC3 or he was. I am hoping that next year he gets more time to put into it.

That said I dont think it is a given that the best BW/WC3 players will be the best SC2 players, we have already seen that not to be the case so far. Though if anyone can then it would be Grubby or Moon.

There will be big prize money WC3 tournaments next year its already been announced for 2011 if you take the court case into consideration WC3 actually looks more stable to me next year than BW.

I wouldnt call Boxer, Nada and July scrubs, ok they arent the current best and lesser players have done better than them. But none of the current best WC3 have switched full time either and some lesser WC3 players have done very well (Rain, Naama). I am not trying to start a WC3/SC argument just saying dont expect players to neatly fall in line of pecking order because they wont its a different game.

Kas, DeMusliM, Naniwa and SjoW were nothing compared to Grubby in wc3, this is basically the best of the best switching over from wc3. He's going to be one of the top players in europe in a year!

No, people like Jaedong or Flash who are the best BW players currently around still officially only play BW.
This post is clearly not a hurr, as you can see from the graph, the durr never intersects with the derp.

If you mention how some lesser WC3 players have done well then what about irOn, FD, ZergBong, IdrA?

Well my thoughts are you will have a hard time playing 2 games and succeed in both but good luck to him. The hours he will need to put sounds tiresome.

That's awesome, I loved to watch Grubby's exciting play when I was playing WC3. If we can get just a few games coming close to the quality of his WC3's play, that would be awesome.

His decision to become a hybrid player makes some sense. He placed 2nd at the last WCG, so he can obviously still compete at a high level. With that in mind there is plenty of incentive to continue playing warcraft 3, though as the European warcraft players all start switching games (I see at least 15 big name wc3 players in euro top 100 already) I think he will either have to travel a lot more to compete (to china most likely) or switch over. Until then really no reason to drop wc3 as far as I can see.

well I don't think anyone would be naive enough to think that being at the top of one game means they will be at the VERY TOP of another game. but clearly there has been a strong correlation between being a strong player in wc3/bw and being a strong player in sc2.

Obviously, I was merely saying what he was saying. I think if you top of a game you must have talent and the mindset to be top of any game. Maybe not every top but still competitive.
