wc3 with grubby (and ppg..) is becoming so commercializing and "people", really ridiculous..

why u guys care so much? he know he did something wrong and he apologize to the ppl which he did wrong to. its fly&yumiko and mouz decision if they accept it or not.

Even though this is probably a PR gag to improve the image of MYM in general, it's good grubby gave some sort of statement anyway.
I don't see why he is bringing in every dissatisfaction he has with chinese tournaments when this has nothing to do with the replay-watching issue. It doesn't really make you look better by putting the spotlight on the allegedly bad and unprofessional chinese tournament organizers.

I watch those chinese warcraft commentators regularly and yes they shout stuff like what the player should be doing and also shout the names of the units the players are making. But they do this in every game as their style of shoutcasting and grubby portrayed it as them purposely shoutcasting in favor of mym's opponent which couldn't be further from the truth.
By the way, they always use "warden" and never use the chinese equivalent in all the times I watched the streams and not because they want to help Tod which is quite a big accusation in itself.

It began as a nice and informative interview and ended in a big wall of text.

So he did something wrong. There's no denial. There's an apology.

So... I don't get what the issue is? Apparently all you people criticizing him are perfect ? He made a mistake, everyone makes mistakes, get over it. Unless you're perfect (please feel free to prove me wrong), you're just hypocrites jumping on someone who has made the mistake, rather than yourself.

How would you feel if you were in his position? Sometimes you do things which in hindsight clearly should not have been done or acted on impulse instead of reasoning.

prick

Ah...
GL .

It's easy to say sorry at the end imo. I'm pretty sure he knew what he was doing, maybe he should have thought about it at that point. I do admit it's nice he apologizes, but still doesn't change my feeling that he knew what he was doing.

Can we drop this n/c.. people still going on about it, bragging like a bunch of old gossip-chicks.
Fly has its peace with it according to replays.net, so why cant you just accept that it wasnt a big deal.

wc3 need your help

wc3 in love ;)

yes everyone is not perfect
but i dont think i can always make mistakes and then come to apologize
grubby was able to avoid this absolutely
and he isnt that sincere in this iview imo

It's at least as morally as football players faking fouls to get a free kick... and btw a pretty smart move I guess no1 has ever thought of

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has to have one!..

Here's mine: What's happened, has happened. Though Grubby didn't violate any rule of the league he was playing, he broke the unwritten rules of good sportsmanship.

He admitted that he did the wrong thing by viewing the replay, but I can in a way understand what he did. I could see myself in a situation that I want to see and learn, because someone succeeded in a thing I tried to prevent. Not necessarily to find out something to beat the opponent, though this is possible too, but merely to satisfy your lust for knowledge and to have a chance of understanding what you did wrong there and there. As for myself, that's the best way to learn. :p

After such an incident, there's not much one can do. He can say he's sorry, he doesn't have to be sorry. In a way, it's admitting: Guilty as charged.. But if he'd go on with: "...punish me with anything you see necessary." most of the people around here would be blaming him of "hypocricy" etc. So, what's the idea of doing anything in Grubbys position?..

I personally think he has now understood what kind of harm his actions caused to his opponents chances and wanted to apologize from the whole scene, rather than only Fly and the WC3L -staff - which he did right on spot, based on the interview.

It may not fix anything, but it's the only thing I see he could do.

Has anyone read through the WCG rules? If so, point out for me plz which rule states that players can not watch other's replays during the tournament. I've personally checked the WCG rules one by one and don't see that rule at all. But I do see one that players shall not do anything to harm fair play spirit( I don't remember the exact wording but the meaning is for sure), which is also stated in WC3L rules. I think Sky was punished according to this rule and he accepted. I don't see why Grubby then should be an exception.
