[edit] Biography
Grubby is a Dutch professional PC gamer. He has been competing in eSports in the real-time strategy game WarCraft 3 (WC3) and WarCraft 3: The Frozen Throne as an Orc player. Grubby has won more than 38 LAN tournaments, of which 6 are World Championships.[1]
Rather than joining a team, Grubby decided to go for sole sponsorship. SteelSeries supported him throughout 2011, but the sponsorship was dropped due to not enough results. In early 2012, he announced Twitch.TV as his new sponsor.[2]
[edit] Wings of Liberty
Grubby began participating in notable tournaments in 2011 with his offline debut at Assembly Winter 2011.
Grubby was one of the 50 players invited to participate in the North American Starleague. He was placed into Division 1. He went 6-17 in his group, finishing with one win and 8 series losses.
Despite releasing largely marginal results, Grubby would demonstrate significant improvements in his play during Copenhagen Games Spring 2011 where he notably defeated players such as TLO and MorroW to take his first major tournament finish.
[edit] Korea
Grubby posted on his twitter on September 2nd that he would be flying out to Korea for a month to play in the IeSF 2011 World Championship. Grubby posted a Video Blog about his time in Korea training at the oGs-TL House.[3] Eventually he didn't try to qualify and moved back to Europe after taking 2nd Place at IeSF 2011 World Championship only losing to SjoW in the Finals.
[edit] Outside of Korea
Back in Europe his tournament results improved a lot in the first few weeks. Besides winning several smaller online tournaments he participated also in the Electronic Sports World Cup 2011 and finished 4th after losing to MaNa in the semi final and MarineKing in the bronze match.
