Not sure how much a month will do for him, but it's definitely going to be a good experience. Better than nothing.

GL grubby , I hope he stays for more than 1 month , the more time he spends there the more likely we will finally get to see Wc3 grubby emerge in sc2 .

I don't think grubby is that close to the top of foreigners atm but if there is any player in the world that can get there and surpass that level with korean training its grubby.

Should be beneficial no matter what. Would be sick if he qualifies

*facepalm*

Grubby won a tournament qualifier and was invited to Korea to compete in it. Now that he'll be there, he's going to stop by Code A qualifiers along the way because, hell, why not? Do you get why he's there now? People have known about this for a month already.

Additionally, qxc has school, and Grubby has a wife. Are you going to ask them to stay in Korea full-time now?

Grubby will improve while he's there. Getting Code A would be nice, but unrealistic, and he probably knows this. As long as he's there though, why the hell not?

I dont get your attitude. Do you want Grubby to not go to Korea when he qualified to go just because he's a "mediocre foreigner"? Should Drewbie tell his team not to send him for the same reason? Are qxc, drewbie, grubby etc the best players? No they arent, but even a month or whatever time they spend in Korea will help them improve from where they are right now. If they get the opportunity to spend ANY time in Korea they should take it if only just for the experience alone. If by going to Korea they learn or improve at all from where they currently are then its worth it IMO.

*facepalm* I didnt know why he was there, whats with the unbridled hostility?

And no, as I said- last post- if you arent willing to go to a prohouse or live in korea permanently you my as well give up on starcraft. Going for a month is an immature adventure, at least in grubbys case its an adventure with minor potential for profit due to a tournament. If a person isnt willing to join a pro house or live in korea, they arent taking sc2 seriously, there being immature and short sighted. Basically "playing" around as a progamer, as they have no chance in accomplishing anything.

I watch Grubby play on his stream sometimes, and he seems better than his results indicate. I think it's just his game sense that really needs a lot of work. He could really use a good coach.

So instead of living alone with no team and playing SC2 in Holland, he will be living alone with no team and playing SC2 in Korea. I do not see that helping that much.

Grubby is one of the best RTS players ever and his rapid improvement will only continue and flourish when he trains with the current best in the world over in Korea.
