I think this month in korea might be what turns him into a top foreigner. He's being doing ok in europe, and after training with the best of the best he will be kicking all sorts of ass; i mean, the guy is an rts legend and is obviously incredibly talented. Gogogo! | ||

1 month can help so much all you have to do is look at Fenix, hoping to see Grubby improve lots in that month with another stint In Korea for a while longer in the future to seriously improve!!! | ||

Although not amazing - especially these days - Check is also a WC3 player and at least code A material. There are also more than enough European WC3 players sitting a little below the very peak of top level international players. | ||

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. | ||

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. My hostility is a direct result of content of your comment. If you don't see how it could be in any way offensive, you should ask yourself if you'd say that out loud in front of Grubby's face. If there's one thing Grubby knows how to do, it's how to train. He probably knows better than you or I how to allocate his time for maximum improvement while he's in Korea. He will be fine, and he will improve at his own rate. Even if there's little chance of him making Code A, there's no reason to discourage him from going to Korea or from trying out, especially if he's going to be there anyways. It's a good way to measure your skill, for one thing, and it's always beneficial to experience the Code A qualifiers at least once so you know what it's like to play in that sort of environment. | ||

Not that this is directed at you, but thinking that WC3 skill => SC2 skill is even more naive than thinking SC1 skill => SC2 skill... I mean, in the latter case, at least it's a sequel. It's useful to be have previously been a pro at a RTS rather than being a complete amateur, of course, but it doesn't translate over completely. Besides, with a wife and all, I feel like Grubby's priorities (like many aged SC1 players and gamers) will have begun to shift. Most players don't decline to physically deteriorating with age, but because they can't put as much time into it. Plus being one of the undisputed best at WC3 might dull that hunger for a championship that a lot of other older players have. I don't doubt his passion, but I just don't believe that Grubby will ever become a dominant force in SC2. | ||

These extended trips to the "mecca of ESPORTS" help teach forgeiners why and how the Koreans stay so far ahead. I just hope that more and more forgeiners take the korean method to their own team houses and practice schedules. | ||

He knows how to handle himself, he knows how to appear in public, he knows to be passionate about ESPORTS and he knows how to freakingly work hard and practice. I'm actually glad he went solo, I hope even more sponsors attach unto Grubby. I would barely wish so strongly for someone else so remote and away from my real life, but for such special individuals I can't help but to wish them the best. White-Ra is another one of this kind, obviously. I'm glad he is going to Korea, he will work hard, as usual, and hopefully return stronger than ever. | ||

grubby is without doubt one of the most intelligent pro gamers out there, will he get an code A spot ... doubtfull but why not hope he does, if any one knows how to compete and beat koreans it's him. different game maybe but practice and xp are a great tool. and grubby got plenty of that in his career. Hope you do well Grubby, best of luck. | ||

And by that I mean, the ability to make it deep into Code A Qualifiers, possibly qualify, and to be very competitive at all foreign tournaments, probably a top foreigner. So to hear that he'll be there for only 1 month, well it's positive, but I don't know if we'll see much of a difference or if he has a shot to qualify for code A. Also it's possible that I don't have an accurate idea of his current skill level, because I hear he got better. Best of luck to him though. | ||

Anyway, we've seen what this time has done for SaSe (watch his stream, he's a beast) Fenix and everybody else in the world who ever went to korea for any reason (yes, they all became gosu). Also, Grubby is known around those parts somewhat I'd imagine from his WC3 days, even though WC3 is more of a china thing. I know that there will be people who say "well he's not already the best player EVAR, why would he botherlol??" (amended version). And it's obviously that he wants to get better. He wants to go SC2 full-time (at least it looks like it) and this is an excellent start. Grubby fightiiing! Bladmaster imba. | ||

Without knowing both sides to the story, I'll say this much; GameGune isn't in Korea, whether it was the event (where this incident occured) held in Mexico or in Spain I'm not sure - all I know is it's irrelevant to this topic. | ||

But Grubby has massively improved since NASL, I think he won a few of KOTH recently and bet pretty much all European best players (even though he also lost against them all as well), which shows that he has potential. Hope he finds a serious Korean house too, otherwise his training practice will be near useless. | ||

He doesn't play in Korea to get seeded or good money, he plays to improve himself. What's the point of playing in MLG and your skill will still be the same? He's already richer than all MLG players anyway. | ||

The average progamer spends around 10 hours a day practice, so that is 300 hours of Korean practice for him. Maybe he'll stay more who knows. | ||

Your post is so negative and untrue it's not even to be taken serieus. Grubby is not top of europe you are right but saying he has not improved in his 7 months of play is just talking out of your ass. This is not NASL anymore, he played bad there that is true, but take some time and see some of his showmatches or his stream and you will see his play is getting really good. How 1 month of korea can turn negative is a question to me, any time you can get there is a great learning experience, there is no downside on it ... yet people will find one. | ||

Well I guess you can say that, but Fenix had no recent results worthy of mention before he went to Korea and is tearing it up there, so I think it's safe to say he improved or at the very least stopped slumping. | ||

Why am I still surprised... all those negative comments *shakes head*. Makes me sad. I can't decide if some people (posters) are just Grumpy Old Men or Spoiled Children. It's very easy to be happy and exited for someone. To celebrate his or hers accomplishments. It's a choice to be negative - don't be that guy - | ||

I wish he was staying longer =\ 1 month of training 8+ hours a day seems plenty to me. And as successful as he was in WC3, he knows how to train efficiently. | ||

i hope he works his ass off, there's a lot of gaming legends that bring some serious attention to SC2... IF THEY STOP SLACKING!!! not really, grubby is good, but it would be awesome if he played some straight up sc2 and was high tier gosu. I believe grubby :D | ||

I went up to him at MLG Raleigh and he replied really warmly to me. Keep in mind he doesn't have to, he's awesome at games and he has a hot wife. But I could tell he really appreciated it. Best of luck to Grubby | ||

I would not call a wc3 player most talented rts player of all time... I'm sure some of these BW gods deserve that title much more. Nonetheless Grubby is a sick talent. Calling him a second class pro is stupid! He knows what it takes to become good. | ||
