A month will improve his play but its not like its going to change his career around. Hes a mediocre foreigner in a time where the best foreigners are comparable to mediocre koreans. I dont get these pilgrimages players have been doing lately, qxc, drewbie, grubby etc. Either go to Korea and stay so you can compete, join one of the two pro houses outside of korea, or resign yourself to the irrelevance and low pay of being an amateur, which is what you are.

Grubby is the Walshy of warcraft 3. Overhyped to all extent. I'll have to look again at his results, but I'm pretty sure he was over celebrated and pretty always placing #2 or #3

Don't doubt Grubby because he's only going to be there a month. QXC was in Korea about a month when he all-killed IM, just the higher skill of the ladder in Korea makes players better there.

I really wish the best for Grubby but everyone should know right now that he (nor anyone else) will EVER see the same kind of success that he had in War3. Being solid in sc2 is infinitely harder than it was in war3 for 2 reasons. One, luck plays a much greater role in Starcraft (even despite random item drop chances and unit/heroes not having a set amount of damage). Two, the competition is fiercer.

But one month does not change enough. He will become a much better player, but after 2-3 months the game has changed so much again in Korea that a lot of what he has learned will already be outdated again. Training as good as it gets for one out of 12 months will not get him to the very top of the competition. I like Grubby as much as anyone and I actually want him to do very well, but I don't see it happening. He has been a mediocre foreigner the whole year and shown no real signs of improvement.
And qxc did very well in that all-kill, but since then, he still has not made any impact in the following MLGs or any other tournaments that I've heard of. He is still in school full-time, so I guess we'll only see how good he can be after he is finished with that. But also in his case, one month just ddidn't change much except one day of fame.

edit: After all this negativity, of course this is a step in the right direction and I hope he can turn thinks around for his SC2 career.

You're just ignorant, the only player that can compete with him is moon. And who the fuck is "Walshy"??
