EPTeven if grubbys skill level was equal/higher than boxers thats not what its about. war3 was neither big nor old enough for someone to be the equivalent of boxer (i dont look down on war3, i played for 4-5 years and watched tournaments till sc2 came out, grubby is also my favorite war3 player).

I would go crazy if he would join mousesports but some sponsors of mouz are kinda focused on germany so i doubt they would sign such an international superstar. SK seems like they have all their money in CS 1.6 for this year. MTW, dunno if they could afford him. | ||

Finally someone who actually knows what he's talking about. Also, what Longshank said. | ||

(against MYM, WE, Mouz i think can't remember off the top of my head). It was SOOO sick. I'm betting he is going to be picked up by MYM, Mouz, or SK. Really good European teams that have been in the scene for a long time. Then again, it could totally be a suprise. Again, as posted earlier by myself. 4K didnt end pretty. Also, from what I get out of his "/Qry Grubby" interview (posted the link earlier) he didnt sound all too sad that his contract with MYM (yep he briefly was on the same team with Moon) wasnt continued. The internets is so amusing, all this speculation without any information whatsoever. Just be patient guys. Grubby wont be homeless. €: + Show Spoiler + But I do agree, the old Wc3 days with 4k being the real kings was so awesome. Definitely started my E-Sport passion | ||

SK seems like they have all their money in CS 1.6 for this year. MTW, dunno if they could afford him. The current 'MYM' is just Wicked e-Sports rebranded, not 'the' MYM of Denmark that was the real legendary team. Regardless, MYM wouldn't pick him up because they dont want to waste all of their money (they did plenty of that with their CS team). Regardless, he'll be fine where he'ss heading. | ||

Grubby has the professionalism (his wife is his management), has the fan-base, has the experience, has the sponsor interest (SteelSeries, he's one of the main "faces", even before joining EG). If there is ONE person I would put my money on to successfully fly solo, its Grubby. Although, I still think EG should have kept him, they are a sponsor driven organization who needs to have people talking about their brand, Good or Bad (preferably the first of course), Grubby creates interest and that's what investors want. ..and maybe this announcement has created the buzz they want just before MLG (O.O), just kiddin' still april first ya'know. | ||

I know Grubby was legendary in WC3, but has he brought anything to SC2 yet? How new is he, exactly? I know Moon has brought results already... has he been playing SC2 for far longer than Grubby? (I don't know much about WC3, but afaik, Moon and Grubby are relatively comparable... so I'd think that their results in SC2 would be too.) | ||

(I don't know much about WC3, but afaik, Moon and Grubby are relatively comparable... so I'd think that their results in SC2 would be too.) I think Grubby has the most potential between him and Moon. If you watch Grubby's stream you will see amazing unit control. (He actually gets probes into the enemy base when the opponent is guarding the ramp(most get stopped but you see the panic in the other player trying to stop it).) Hopefully he gets far enough in MLG this weekend to get some broadcasted games shown. | ||

Mystery solved? There's also 2 other logos, the one on the top right side of his jersey appears to say Grubby, so some kind of personal logo or something? Not sure what the lower logo is. | ||
