Practice makes perfect.

I wish the best of luck to Grubby in all his endeavors, but I hope he realizes how vital a team is.

Through our newly released website (http://egsinc.org/), we have presented a small portion of things to come for gaming in Europe. You can read the press releases on the website.

Now we’d like to share some more fantastic and exciting news with the international community. We are very happy and very honored to announce we are partnering up with Manuel “Grubby” Schenkhuizen. Grubby has been a professional gaming athlete since 2003, traveling all over the world for his profession. He specializes in Real-Time Strategy games and has won six world championships and over a hundred other tournaments. Manuel is also a fantastic person, known as one of the best gamers of the world, if not the best in his segment.

To support the community even more we have chosen a route into Starcraft 2 and we are very eager supporting talents with a long-lasting list of achievements. We want them to monetize their value as much as possible and give them ways and means to further develop as their “own” Brand.


You can now win these Jerseys

From the press release: “EGS operates game content and game competitions on television and the Internet, featuring both paid and free online game competitions, as well as live gaming events on national and international TV channels. In this way, thus far undiscovered gaming talents on the internet will grow to become international TV stars. The best thing is – anybody can enter the competitive gaming scene.”

Additionally, the new Internet platform EGSonline.eu will allow the game audience to connect and play competitively on all major games. Soon you can access this platform on http://egsonline.eu and http://gameseries.tv .” [The websites will enter BETA state soon.]

“We see the need for a fully funded, budgeted and complete format. Making sure gamers are happy and paid their hard-earned prize money is a first positive step in eSports events.
It doesn’t stop here. We also have experience and a strategical road-map when it comes to helping players develop themselves in the eSports scene.”

Manuel has chosen to move on as a solo player. We want to make sure Manuel can grow to exponential heights. One of his dreams is to bring a Starcraft 2 series to Europe. With the upcoming EGSonline.eu the new tier 1 competitive gaming internet platform owned by EGS and the events we offer, with the budgeted prize money. We are sure we can offer Manuel everything he needs to make Starcraft 2 in Europe a major success.

Grubby Starcraft 2 Series – GSS
“For us Manuel is of extraordinary value in Europe as well as for venturing into Asia; we hope Manuel can facilitate a bridge between Asia and Europe.[…]

Together with Manuel we will deploy the “Grubby Starcraft 2 Series”, an online and off-line league which will be one of the most exhilarating SC2 Series Europe has seen thus far. On top of that, Manuel will have full access to both our TV-Studio and funding to bring epic matches and entertainment to Europe. We want to make sure our events are a full show with mainstream entertainment, an experience for both gamers and visitors. Everybody should come home with warm feelings and chills of excitement of what has been an exhilarating couple of days while visiting our events.”

We will expand on the GSS later this week.

Funding
EGS has sold a minority share of 30% to the provincial government. With the funding of the local government, KMM group and Technofund Flevoland, we are sure we can bring gamers a long-lasting and welcome new initiative.

for people who are wondering whats up with the rest of 4K,

-ToD is playing for Millennium, even won 2 tournametns last month ( vs Adellscott in the final on lan and beat Mana 3-0 in the Millenium cup ), rapidly making its way to atleast top 5 Toss Europe.
-Fury is playing for RG, Fury is quite a good Terran but unfortunately didnt have that much luck yet on his side tournament Wise.
-Creo Just studying, indeed went inactive after Winning WCG ( actually went inactive after 2nd place of eswc and winning blizzcon, then qualified while being inactive for WCG since the Norwegian scene wasnt that great, practised 1 week and won WCG, still my favorite E-sport story of all time, just to go inactive again, sick baller, hero forever. )
-LiiLDC Is playing a little bit of StarCraft II but nothing serious on a competitive level, atleast not yet, he's a _very_ good Handball player, playing quite close to the Swedish top so I can understand if he wants to give that a go, certainly cause Handball is quite a big thing in Sverige!
-Zeus Not doing anything within E-sports actively, still have contact with him though, great guy ;p, his life took quite a switch but I'm not here to throw out his private life :D
-Demuslim Guess we all know that
-FoV Living the good life in Asia, not really playing sc II.

Ontopic, gl to grubs :D just a matter of time before he will be succesfull. But being as succesfull as in Wc3 is gonna be close to impossible.
