EPTI am not here to brag or anything i just want to thank grubby for just being an awesome part of e-sports in general, i myself cannot speak for e-sports at all, i have never contributed or donated, showed up at a stadium for volunteer work or anything like that. But i have followed the starcraft 2 scene like a stalker for the past 13 months now! And of all the pros i really have tried to interact with or researched just for the hell of it, Grubby stuck to me the most!
I maintain a huge interest in the pro gaming centered around starcraft 2 even if i grow bored or tired from the game, i have looked up tons of builds and commentaries of game plays, but its Grubby i believe is the biggest influence on my starcraft journey of life. But don't get me wrong i have not actually known about Manuel as long as i have idra, or teamliquid players a little bit after release, the people that were HUGE with the starcraft 2 release! Grubby is just such an awesome person in general, he gives commentaries while he plays and truly shows he has a passion for what he does in life. His life is a good thing to look upon for motivation, or to see a happy successful man arise out of nowhere!
Now one cannot deny in that video he is a very happy man just based off of first impressions, which i did not have when i had seen it myself, i had already known about his prestige in warcraft 3 at the time. But what i am getting at is Grubby is not just happy himself, he brings smiles to other people, hes the person that brings a chin up in a gloomy crowd! Today Manuel made me smile, after i got off a little bit of watching CatZ stream i headed to Grubby's because i noticed he was just now featured on Team Liquid for the day.
So i started just blabbing around in his twitch tv chat probably just talking about useless bull crap and starcraft 2 strategy like i am meta game god, but i noticed everyone talking about playing mono battles with him on his stream, and i noticed it on his ad logo setting he had for streaming ( which is pretty badass ) that u could sub to him and get a little cool logo, so i went to his twitch tv page and he mentioned how he would play mono battles sometimes with subs, i was able to purchase a month subscription through my credit card, and minutes later he said mono battle time!
That's when i noticed everyone with their tags and character codes up so i put up my name too! and about how i subbed him minutes before, after he stated he had a wave of new subs and that it was nice! he saw my post about how i just subbed and he stated through his cam "thanks for subscribing flying toilet!" word for word! he made me grin right away! That was the best damn 5 bucks i have ever spent and i am very happy that it benefited my new favorite gamer, move over demuslim looks like u have been replaced with your old time warcraft 3 rival/friend! ( as far as i believe ) And thanks for reading my little cool experience about how awesome of a pro gamer Grubby is!
P.S. If you want to see the video for proof ( not bragging D: ) ill give you the second he starts the mono battles map and seen my post, it was his last video February 14th around 9:00 PM central time at 2:06:43 is right when he starts to thank me!
