Grubby: "I did notice there are some Grubby haters"

ImageManuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen spoke to Tobias "quiZZ" Stahmer team manager of mTw in a video interview conducted at the recent World eSports Masters tournament in China.



When asked about the difference between the WEM an event organised by Koreans and held in China and other Chinese events Grubby stated he believes the Koreans are still ahead of the Chinese in terms of organising. "That is a big difference with a lot of Chinese organisers who may be experienced in how to do a Chinese event but unable to take care of the foreigners very well," said Grubby.

"Grubby: "I think the Koreans are very professional and still ahead of the Chinese in regards to organising tournaments."
"What you could see here there were tons of translators that made the foreigners very comfortable I think, and I think the Koreans are very professional and still ahead of the Chinese in regards to organising tournaments. I think it was a very well done tourmament here."

Grubby also replied to whether he believes the new patch favours him. "I think Orc is a little stronger but it is still very hard against Night Elf and Human. I'm not saying it is imba but it is hard," admitted Grubby, "I do not think there is any justification in the latest imba whining there has been. I think the balance is better than ever before maybe."

He also comments on the "Grubby Haters" which prey on his performances, "I do not think it is worth paying attention to people who are a hater one day then a fan the next day," said Grubby, "I've seen change in people and if that is all they care about doing with their life then that is fine by me."

"I did notice there are some Grubby haters and other players do not seem to have a lot of haters like that, so I think there must be something special about me which make these people dedicate their life to me," said Grubby chuckling, "I feel honoured in a funny kind of way."

"Grubby: Of course I want to be there for the fans that have come here hoping for an autograph or something. I do it for them, not for me"
And for those who saw the readmore video of Grubby being chased by fans he answered how he is dealing with the attention he receives. "DO I enjoy it? .. Well I like it and of course I want to be there for the fans that have come here hoping for an autograph or something. I do it for them, not for me. I'm really ok with it except when they crowd around you and you can not breathe any more," said Grubby with a grin on his face."
