Creo quit after he won WCG (or ESWC or whatever it was), he did a quick comeback for WEM in China last year without having played at all since his last event. I think he took a couple of games off of some of the best players around even in 2010..

.. however he said he isn't coming back to the eSport scene

I am so happy for grubby, he is such a nice person. One of my friends played ladder with him back in the wc3 days and told me great stories about how nice he is and talented.

It is crazy that he has come this far with only 2½ month of sc2 gaming. He will be a beast soon if he continues !

cool news. Glad some players are starting to do individual sponsors and such. I think it makes more sense for SC2 tbh.

Man, first ROOT shaping it up and now this. Nothing could make me more happy as a fan.
Good luck to Grubby, it's really fun seeing him progress and go to the top of sc2. And it's fun watching him even though he isn't there just yet.

The website is witty, too.

I wish him the best!

His head is huge in the picture with fans, and I love how whenever he is playing his mouth is slightly open rofl.

Anyway I really hope he picks up some more players onto his team, would be cool if he does a BoxeR like thing.

Been watching quite a bit of Grubby's stream recently and really become a fan of the guy. He seems to be improving so much and is such a manner guy, cannot help but root for him and his team in the future.

I'm interested to see where this goes. It's cool that he already has a sponsor.

Great news.

I used to follow WC3 scene a lot, and I can say this guy was truly revolutionary. I remember all the whinings from Orc players back when Orc was considered underpowered, and then he elevated the race to the point of almost overpowered. I daresay what he did is comparable to Boxer's feats with Terran, or Savior's feats with Zerg.

grubby is the only player who is progressing at what I would call a scary pace. Watch out for this guy

Is it just me ... or does he look like he has a massive head in those photos? In proportion to his whole body I mean

Im not sure if he just left EG, but it was pretty recent that EG disbanded their War3 division

Hope they don't bring the Blademaster to SC2. This guy would steamroll everyone =D

Grubby should be like Boxer! Recruit the most badass no-names in the talent pool and stomp everyone. Boxer did it twice, Grubby can definitely do it once.

Btw once they implement the ability to chronoboost your DTs in Legacy of the Void Grubby will have his blademaster.

I'm really happy for Grubby, I wasn't really a fan of his until I watched that documentary about him. I don't know the link... But, after watching that, he really seems like a very down to earth, very nice guy. I wish him all the best.

I think it would be better if he stayed in EG for a while? I think the team can improve Grubby seeing how much potential he have. A one man team is a little strange considering he just started SC2. White-ra isn't the same since he played BW and been playing sc2 since beta.
But GL and best wishes to Grubby
