I see grubby trying to attain a solo sponsorship. It was stated clearly in the article on the EG website that Grubby's decision to go down a path did not fall parallel with EG's.

This almost definitely isn't real but would be kind of cool if it was as it would be a great move for Grubby. That guy has all the potential in the world and a legion of followers from wc3 and is making new fans left and right and man it would be awesome to see Grubby on a euro team.

Of course it looks like a prank. Grubby is in the MLG right now without a sponsor. He flew to the usa and is paying all the cost associated with it without a sponsor if this is true. What would be even more weird is if EG flew him out and payed for him and then dumped him after they got him there before he even competes. And the timing of this would be such a shitty move by EG. Can you imagine the pressure and the overall effects on your mentality this would have literally a day before a huge tournament, Grubbys biggest in sc2 thus far.

The statement got to TL on prank day(can't write the date for some reasone) which is very poorly thought out by EG or just in very bad taste if the wanted to use the date to somehow dampen bad pr.

Besides all that Grubby is effectively a living legend in the rts genre. He has a ridiculous amount of fans and EG decides to dump him? The EG sc2 squad isn't really that strong. There's idra who's one of the worlds best but not doing to good and an injured deMuslim. The rest hasn't really accomplished much except semi-deep finishes in a MLG or two, which back then was like a 6k lan. But yeah I wonder why people think this is a joke

Couldn't they at least wait for MLG to finish before doing this? What if Grubby wins it?

You make it sound like flying to the US cost a fortune and that somehow EG kicked Grubby out against his will. Both not really true, or at least unconfirmed regarding the second part. Add to that it's not in the slightest bit funny as well as people knowing him having confirmed it in the thread and you have to ask yourself why people don't think this is a joke.

If it turns out to be a prank it would just be lame by all parties involved unless they somehow turn it into a huge announcement of something else.

"I saw EG put up the announcement regarding the end of our contract, so that means I’m officially released from the WC3 squad and we’ll be going our separate ways. Thanks again to EG for the time we’ve shared."

From watching Grubbys stream its safe to say leting him go was not the greatest idea its just hard to tell where he goes from here. He's got the talent and hopefully the drive to be great in SC2 hopefully an equally prestigious team grabs him.

Yep he definitely has the talent, lets hope he has the drive to be the best just like he did in WC3.. If there was one person in WC3 who you could say had "heart", it was no question Grubby. He didnt have the mechanics of a Moon or Lyn, but he always got the job done in the end with smarts and determination

if hes fully concentrated on SC2, Im gonna be excited to see how far he takes it in the next year
