Warcraft 3 legend Grubby may decide to start playing Starcraft II professionally.

According to fragster.de the living legend Manuel 'Grubby' Schenkhuizen wants to start playing Starcraft 2 professionally in 2011. This excludes that Grubby will end his career after Warcraft 3.

Anyhow, Grubby wants to focus on the last big Warcraft competitions for this year. Next year he first wants to prove himself in online cups and tournaments and afterwards he may want to compete offline as well.

This announcement is a good index of Grubby playing Starcraft 2 in a while but under a different nickname.


Seems like more big war3 names are going to convert, but how will they stand up to the competition ?

should mention moon isn't planning to switch until next year as well

so it looks like they will allow the game to go on for another year before letting it die.

It's his wife now lol. I think it's great that Grubby is switching to SC2 soon. He may be winning a good amount of WC3 tournaments, but I think it's best to switch ASAP. He is a talented player, but I dunno how good he was in SC1, or how well he played in the SC2 beta. From what I make it out, if he sticks with WC3 until tournaments are vanishing one by one, it may be late for him to compete at a top level in SC2. I know that SC2 is still young and there isn't a lot of big tournaments yet, but if you plan to play at a high level, I think it's best to start soon.

Grubby is a very special Wc3 player. I guess after some time he'll do just fine in SC2.

There's still a few more big WC3 tourneys at the end of the year that he can win easy money (WCG, Blizzcon, etc.)

Well, I guess if the prize money is decent he has it going for him that the WC3 player-pool is so small.

Wow, I thought this news did already make it to TL earlier.
Damn, there goes my chance of making a news thread.

with his amazing talent it will be no problem for him to adapt.
besides i assume he already plays a bit here and there on the side - the first showmatch of sc2 i saw was at the regional finals in cologne 2009 and it was Grubby vs David Kim.

Well considering a lot of ex-wc3 pros switched succesfully I have no doubt Grubby will be able to switch easy to sc2 but whether he'll be sucessfull is another matter.
I wish the best of luck to him since he is/was one of the best wc3 players of all times and hopefully he can establish the same fame in sc2.

That would be sweet, and i would exspect him to play sc2 over time, and we already seen that wc3 are a force to be recon with(MadFrog, Demuslim, Lucifron ect)

all we need is Moon then
