EPTLOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – March 29, 2011. – Today, Evil Geniuses (EG), one of the world’s leading professional gaming brands, has parted ways with Manuel “Grubby” Schenkhuizen and closed the WarCraft III division indefinitely.
Schenkhuizen has been a tremendous asset to Team EG since signing with the company in 2009. He not only represented EG well in terms of results, but in promoting EG's brand globally. In 2010 alone, Manuel achieved numerous podium placements including second place finishes at both the World Cyber Games Grand Finals and the International E-Sports Federation.
"I would like to thank EG for my time spent in the team. I wish everyone all the best in the future as well. Shout-out to EG.CS, been a pleasure getting to know you and hanging out together." Schenkhuizen said.
“It was an honor to have Manuel representing Team EG around the world,” said Scott Smith, Managing Director for Evil Geniuses. “We wish him nothing but good luck in the future.”

It looks like the WC3 division of EG has been disbanded, which led to Grubby and EG going their seperate ways.
Grubby mentioned this in his MLG Dallas blog.
I saw EG put up the announcement regarding the end of our contract, so that means I’m officially released from the WC3 squad and we’ll be going our separate ways. Thanks again to EG for the time we’ve shared.
SourceThe main question is who will he decide to play for because I am sure he will have a lot of offers on the table. Will he just decide to go the way of White-Ra and be on a one man/small team, form his own team or just be an independent pro since he has the name, reputation and cash to do it?
Good Luck Grubby & EG!

Rumour has it one of EG sponsors is giving him a personal sponsorship so I will name which two I think are going to be candidates for it: Intel or Jinx Clothing
