I hope you liked this short player profile, its not an complete list as there is much more content about Grubby out there.
My goal was to show you why people are calling him an esport Legend and why he has so many fans around the world.
I am following Grubby through wins and looses since 2004 and till now i am impressed with his intelligent and thoughtfull play both in wc3 and SC2 as well as his personality and his professionalism towards the game.
Please forgive me my "fanboyism" but feel free to add additional content to this thread
