Manuel “Grubby” Schenkhuizen reiterated his desire for the championship of World E-sports Masters after proceeding to the semi-finals through a three-way tie-breakers in Group B.The Meet Your Makers player was sharing the second place of his group with ESWC 08 title holder Du Seop “WhO” Chang as WEM headed into the third match day and a win over his Chinese rival Xiaofeng “Sky” Li would steered him into the knock-out stage.
But he had to play a series of tie-breakers with aforementioned players following a defeat to Sky, while WhO afterwards lost to his compatriot Jae Ho “Moon” Jang, who has already cruised through the group stage with a 3-game winning streak.
In the following make-or-break tie-breakers, Grubby seized the day as he defeated both of Sky and WhO and booked a semi-finals meeting with “the most dominant player this year”, June "Lyn" Park of SK Gaming. In the post-match interview with Replays.Net, he talked about some behind scene stories today and revealed his intention of bringing home the prestigious title.
The full script of the translated interview is available in Replays.Net.

Tomorrow you will be playing against another Orc player - Lyn. Give some comments about this player.
Lyn is the most dominant player this year. That is because he is good in all match-ups, all the time. But I am not afraid of him. Orc mirror games can go either way. The better player will win. I can't accept losing this game, so I will give it my everything.
What is your goal for this tournament?
Grubby: My goal is number one. I am very serious about that. I made a promise that I will try not to break. Hope that luck will be on my side.

So except if some angry chinese fan was hidden in the cafe to record the games on his cell phone, we might never know how the tiebreaker went ^^
I ♥ this guy :)
If both don't make any bigger mistakes tommorow, one creejack or the better item will decide the map.
Orc mirror is all the same, not much variation, thus a bit random the outcome.
gogo Grubby,wanna C base trade! xD
