Flawless infi eliminates Grubby in groupstage

ImageXuwen "Infi" Wang played almost perfectly in his match against an out of shape Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen in the group stage of Extreme Masters Chengdu.



The first game was standard play by Infi on Echo Isles going for Archmage and Mountain King with the typical tier2 push. Grubby on the other hand went for an unusual strategy, choosing Tauren Chieftain second with wyverns, which proved extremely ineffective against usual Human tier2. Infi's micro was exceptional, and with the magic damage of the sorceress and piercing damage of the water elementals, he made quick work of Grubby's army.

Second match was on Secret Valley and Grubby went Farseer and attempted a harassment, but Infi fended off his harassment well and was able to do some early damage to Grubby's economy with burrow focusing. At tier2 Infi went beastmaster and pushed Grubby's base, with Grubby only able to pick off a handful of units and eventually resorted to headhunters and demolishers in a last attempt to fight Infi off but was ultimately unsuccessful.

Manuel 'GrubbY' Schenkhuizen seemed out of shape in his matches, in particular versus an in-form ReMinD, losing his match versus the Korean 2-0. However, nothing should be taken away from infi who played incredibly well in both his games against the WCG winner.
