Sase had sound problems during that match and paused the game to alt tab and fix it when he returned grubby resumed the game. Sase paused again and said to grubby i have sound problems. Grubby resumed with the comment i dont care.


One day,WSVG China,All of the matchs 16-8 is over except Grubby's game.But Grubby refuse to start the game without any explanation.He insist on to start the game next day.That takes a lot of trouble for the matchs of 8-4.He did not care that and the millions of fans at all!
That is a fews example of Grubby showing his bad manner.


I think everyone should follow grubby, he is so mannered, and you Ret:D go to hell!

Well in my opinion the grubby thread did seem a little self centered and what not so I can kinda see where Ret is coming from.

Granted being a lurker most the time i didn't comment in the Grubby thread, but i think I can comment in this thread about how I think the Grubby thread was kinda attention whoring.

Why do so many people think this is fucking funny. Is it the cool thing now to bash on another progamer's thread about helping somebody out. I don't care if you don't think the mentor-ship that Grubby is doing is going to work, trolling him about it is useless and doesn't mean much.

Ret vs Grubby is currently 6-5. So yea, Ret your so baller for smashing Grubby LOL.

Grubby is a God, while you will never ever achieve the things he has in his life. I actually used to like you Ret, just felt that you needed somebody to mentor you, because you make the same exact mistakes now as you did 6 months ago, which is ironic because you make fun of a programer that has done litterally 3x as much as you for trying to help someone out. Maybe you should ask if Grubby can give you some tips? Because while your skill is stagnating Grubby is better every single day. I just lost the little respect I did have for you


what mentorship does grubby have?



Grubby made a post, person above me posted the link. Grubby will be helping mentor/coach an up-and-coming protoss player. The grubby fanboys (myself) included are angry for multiple reasons.


Demuslim bashing Grubby on stream, along with Ret/Demuslim not showing Grubby the respect he deservs.
I'll put it in different terms:
Grubby is in the same boat as White-Ra, which is incidentally the boat that is a bit behind Boxer's Boat.
Ret is in a boat about 2 footfields back and is nothing compared to the above mentioned players. Ret is another
decent player while Grubby is an Esports Figure

Personally I'm not a die-hard fan for either players. I like them, but certainly can't say I'm fan. In spite of this, I still feel this is offensive to Grubby, even if it was just a joke. As a TL player he should be representing his team with a good image. This just makes me think otherwise. Though these are just my morals. Not everyone is offended by everything. You make the assumption that people are pretty much all the same.

Grubby is without a doubt above this and either ignores it or laughs about it.

The thing that I think that pisses people off, is that Demuslim and Ret, as the elementary school boys they are, offend a player/ a symbol who Does make a difference in E-sports...while at interviews you hear the two boys "caring" so much about E-sports..

If you try to be funny in public, think well before you write something..

Goswer. We get mad because we see a Progamer making fun of another Progamer openly, and not just using trollish words.

Would you like me to copy/paste the parts from his post that make Ret seem like an outright Dick? Im not saying he is doing it in bad words. But TL shouldn't support posts like this, bashing other players isn't cool. Especially when your bashing a player that means a great deal to esports, while you yourself mean literally shit.

Esports could live without Ret, but Grubby helped shape what Esports has come to be. Its like making fun of fucking White-Ra, why do it?






edit: And just like the person above me posted. Grubby is in a class of his own. He will laugh this off and just ignore it because thats how awesome he is. But ret should realize if he wants to grow his fanbase he should treat his betters with more respect

EG is not even worth talking about, but Ret. Common wouldve not expected that from you or generally a Liquid player. Im not a huge Grubby fan but i really think its not nice to do such a thing. Well you lost a fan right here.....

I really must be missing why this is so offensive to some people?

To me it just seems like a joking parody, it's not being particularly mean to Grubby? Just some light ribbing, completely normal/acceptable levels at least compared to what I'm used to (but I've seen people say 2GD hated TB and stuff when it was just British banter).

I don't think Grubby is the type of person who would be offended by this, but obviously I can't speak for him. But I really don't see what is so nasty/offensive about this.

Too bad you don't have thick skin like him then.

Oh boy, do I hear another self centered opinion on the matter...
Why dont you go ahead and tell all the theists "I dont get what you guys warship god, he doesnt exist. I mean it's clear to me why don't you guys see the obvious?"
No matter how much you try to justify your stance, people will always have different view. Realize that in your life quick, it will help you so much effort.

You have a long way ahead of you in your life brother....

Can you just point out which bits are offensive to you at least? I'm not going to argue you shouldn't be offended but I just don't see what's offensive about it personally.

While in the other corner we have a big population of the Starcraft scene and TL in particular that would praise Ret for his amazing aim and immaculate bladder control if he so was to pee Demuslim in the eye, while Demuslim in his turn would be overjoyed for finally being noticed by the cool guys. That's just how Team Liquid works.

Funny or not, this line proves that it wasn't done in good hearted nature - "But I'll be honest and say that it's I mainly because I want everybody in the community to think I'm awesome and kiss my ass"
