Yes thats unarguable its just that at the moment some people are using Moons recent results as some kind of WC3/BM penis measuring contest. I am just enjoying seeing my favourite heroes dukeing it out on a new game and hopefully we get a few epic matchups in the next few months in the GSL :D.

anyon eknow his username and id number? so i can stalk him on sc2ranks?
Is he going to the EG house in korea?!?! omg this is so exciting. TELL US MORE!!!!!!!!
|
grubby is selfish. he needs to only play sc2 so that he can become the best and entertain me.

Obligatory link to the awesome (but long) interview ESL TV did with him in 2009: link
Recent podcast in which inControl mentions grubby: link. Skip to about 1:03

Hes not gonna do very well until he drops WC3 but I see why he wants to stick with WC3 because theres not many top players left that are playing the game so its free money for him at tournaments. He is very talented though so we shall see how he does in sc2. He could pull off an upset here and there and win some cash but I don't see him winning tournaments.

If an athlete like Deon Sanders can play two sports and excel at a professional level, there's no reason why a gamer can't do the same. It'll be hard, but definitely not impossible. Best of luck to Grubby.

He played Protoss versus Garimto in a showmatch not too long ago.
If Grubby switches, he'll be in the top 5 EU. There's no doubt in my mind.

if thats what he maxes out at I can't help but think it sounds like a failure
top 5 europe when the top players are all in korea
in wc3 isn't he regarded as the best ever?
that's like flash switching to sc2 and having trouble placing top 4 in some NA tournament

If I was a woman, I'd be wet at that thought. Man I hope this EG house is happening and I know it's gonna rock if it does. EG guys keep saying it's happening but until it happens I won't be satisfied.
Anyway back to topic. Grubby IS one of the greatest war3 players of all time. He has talent dedication and the mindset needed to be competitive. You can't really speculate on how well he will do but there is potential there.

I think Grubby and Moon are pretty much on even footing in accompolishments and 'perceived skill level'.
Anyway, good to hear he really is switching to SC2 and i hope he can really translate those WC3 skills into this game.

Stop with this bs aobut "one of the greatest ever in wc3". He is THE greatest... His micro and macro are both so amazing. Plus his mind is made for strategy. If he goes to Korea's EG house omg... Grubby and Idra are going to get 1 and 2 in gsl.
|
I heard that he plays Terran but I would really love if he would be Protoss.

would be cool, but very unrealistic

Moon still plays Warcraft3 aswell and he did ro32 in GSL S3 so Grubby can place high indeed.
|
living orc legend! he sure has the potential to get one of the best in sc2
|
I doubt he'll be very good if he's still doing WC3. Just dont think you can prepare enough to be at that level for two different games. Wish him luck tough.
