I don't know of course whether Grubby left, or EG decided not to keep him now that WC3 is done.

But I can say that if EG didn't keep him, I'm not surprised at all. He was a great WC3 player, but that doesn't mean he's a SC2 "just add water" pro-gamer. He may get better, yes, but that's taking a risk that a team really doesn't need to take. TBH he's just riding his WC3 fame into SC2 and I think EG made a smart move by not signing him onto SC2 until he's proven himself to be good. (Assuming it was EG's decision)
I don't Micro, I FEMTO. That's 9 orders of magnitude more extreme.

This is a big loss for EG as Grubby is a worthwhile team member regardless of current results. Something I can't quite say for the rest of their roster aside from IdrA and incontrol.


Um, I believe you are forgetting about Axslav and Demuslim.


But DeMuslim right now isn't play cause he broke his hand so he isn't active now so yeah, and well Axslav isn't doing as well as some other players


Have you even SEEN Axslav play lately? Was it him dismantling almost every player in the Team Liquid that wasn't good? Or was it him forgetting how to lose PvP? AxSlav has been rollllllllllling people, but there just aren't tournaments here Stateside for him to dive into. He's going to make a splash soon.

EDIT: April.... Fool's?

why can't he be a part of their sc2 team?

i'm guessing that he got a different offer that he liked more. Just wait a few days and see if something gets announced.

Yeah Axslav has been on a tear lately. I think people base all of their opinions on NA players on whether or not they were top 16 at MLG Dallas 2010.

I think it's understandable. EG already has a great line up, and Grubby is still unproven in SC2. But knowing Grubby's skill and dedication, he'll prove himself really soon, and get picked up easily.

No. It's not a joke. Read the thread. It'd also be a stupid and unfunny thing to joke about.

Did you ever watched him playing sc2? He actually shows great skill, he learns incredibly fast and shows off some of the best sc2 micro. More than that, he is a decent, well manared guy, so how do you come to the conclusion, that EG didn't keep him?

I think he might join a more European focused team regardless how many offers he gets, but we'll see what happens. Good luck to Grubby!

A lot of people leaving teams around this time, but anyway.

I wonder what will happen with NASL, didn't they say you have to be in a team?

The end of 4k was not pretty. Dont think that would happen.
Here he talks about that, great documentary about the grubstar
/QRY Grubby
Just gotta be patient. He´ll find the right place for himself.


Thanks for the link. The video felt a bit long but had some good insights into Grubby's life as a pro gamer. The story of how he met his wife was interesting, and he seems to be a very nice and mild mannered dude.

I was a bit curious what teams Grubby had been on, and from some googling, found that Grubby joined team EG in April of 2009. That means the 31st of March (yesterday) would mark the end of a two year period since he signed with EG. Assuming they negotiated yearly contracts, the end of last month would also mark the time the expiration of the most recent contract. Grubby was one of the very top WC3 pros and must have had an impressive salary playing for EG's Warcraft team. After his switch to SC2, his negotiating power undoubtedly diminished, and it's not hard to believe that he and EG would have trouble coming up with a new contract. Hopefully Grubby will do well at MLG and in the NASL and find a new team. I'll be cheering for him!

I guess with the collapse of wc3 division of EG, his contract also fell through?

I mean, Grubby is an amazing talent and player, with sick potential - but in the world of WC3 his contract must have been for CRAZY money, and probably more than any player like IdrA got - and he isnt that valuable at sc2 yet....

Which suprises me, given how corporate all teams are, and how much of a perfect person/player/proffesional/household name Grubby is.

Yeah I wish it was more clear on him parting with EG all together or just their WC3 division. I would think that EG would want him to stay in the family since he decided to make the switch to SC2. Maybe he found a more lucrative deal out there and EG let him go to pursue it. If that's the case then I applaud EG, if not then I'm kind of sad about the whole thing.

I think grubby was probably as good as some of the EG guys, the only difference is he was probably being paid more than anyone else on the team and they couldnt justify the salary.
