People are really jumping the gun with grubby hate here, hes not very good obviously but he shows promise and history shows hes a successful RTS player, to compare him to Bitbybit is ridiculous. If you are willing to say something that dumb then you are just blindly hating him for no real reason.

Well said, I agree.
I don't see why people expected him to go far in this tournament with barely a month of practice and still practicing in Warcraft 3 parallel.
Personally, I am very impressed of him putting such a great fight out against two very top and experienced players.
I thought Nony and Sarens would just stomp all over him, if Grubby gives this game one or two months of full time practice, he might already do magic.

Grubby was playing in beta, and a little on release. Maybe started playing competitively 3 weeks ago. Or started putting more time and effort into the game at the time of 3 weeks ago. But he has played a good amount previously.


Which equates to literally nothing when you're up against pros who's been playing 10+ hours a day since beta.

Yeah i was very impressed by grubbys play as well. I like his unit movement and he seems to have very good map awareness. Also, that probe surround in game 3 vs sarens.. fuck yeah,

I understand there's a lot of WC3 hate, but Grubby is one guy I'd really like to see well. I never followed the WC3, but there was some interview on WC3 player's reactions to SC2 and Grubby's response totally won over. He's such a likeable guy, the SC community would be better off embracing him then all the hate.

Grubby shows he has the dedication to become a very good player. He will stop doing stupid attacks and making bad calls when he gains more experience. As of now, as many have said he is very promising and i can't wait to see my favorite War3 player start winning!(i usually don't think so much of war3 players since i'm a bw fanboy but grubby's personality makes me want to see him succeed ^^).

From what I can see, he needs to focus on his macro first. He had 3 bases with a ton of probes and he did not construct any gateways. And even before that, he stopped macroing after he expanded to his natural. These are in my opinion big mistakes.

It's not like he doesn't have the practice partners to succeed and yeah, he's been playing a lot longer than 3 weeks. He's been putting more time and effort into the game. That is for sure. He still has a lot of hurdles to overcome like Mad Frog.


Around Christmas he had < 100 ladder games + some 2v2 with Cassandra. That's close to nothing over six months, especially if you're not practicing just playing around.

edit: also, it's time to put the BW vs WC3 discussion to rest, it's quite clear there's no real difference what background you came from. However those who have gone through the Korean BW practice regime are ahead, not because they played BW but because of years of practice in pro-houses.

Yea but he is 3 weeks into the game and already he's doing better then most, even if he was pro war 3 player his macro was impressive for his game time. If he keeps practicing.. Code A in a couple seasons possibly?

A lot of the best SC2 players outside of Korean are ex-WC3'ers and Grubby is and was better than all of them so he should be able to make his mark on the foreign SC2 scene with enough practice.

Regardless of the 3wks practice or still-playing-wc3, the LT game was very boring. Two 200 armies just watching each other for 30mins.

As of right now, grubby's not up to par. He's just a face in the crowd for SC2.

The move surround of a marine with probes was so funny. Like closing the eye to the ex-wc3 fans. Grubby has his own uncopable style relying on control. If this can transfer into sc2 we are up for some very entertaining games from him )).

Maybe new people, from sc2 or wc3 should go watch fpvods of bisu, flash, jaedong and actually see what micro and macro are about.

People would argue far less.

He's going to get left behind and figured out and beaten badly if he doesn't start to commit soon.

Players in the GSL are making leaps and bounds in improvement everytime you see them. Squirtle for example, last season he was pretty mediocre or worse. Then come around the GSTL and he takes games from the best player in the world MVP convincingly and without cheese/all-ins. Grubby is plain going to be left behind if he doesn't make up his mind soon. This isn't the sort of game where you can just casually commit and try to base it off another RTS game experiance. It may help but at the level of play where you're trying to make a living off it constant practice is a requirement and not a suggestion.
