SteelSeries have published an article entitled "Grubby - King of the Orcs" in which they spoke to legendary WC3 player Grubby who switched to SC2 in 2011.

SteelSeries have continued their 1on1 series in which they interview a well known professional gamer about his career. This time they talked to the legendary WC3 player, and recent SC2 convert,

Manuel 'Grubby' Schenkhuizen in a piece entitled "Grubby - King of the Orcs". As well as his lengthy career Grubby addresses the importance of his life partner

Cassandra in his journey.

Speaking about Cassandra's help:

"She is taking care of a lot of the promoting. She was the one that made me start regular Twitter updates and is who reminds me to update my social media accounts."

What Grubby's career might have been like without his eventual wife:

"Without Cassandra I would have quit long ago. WarCraft III is in essence a lonely game. And not being alone when I travel is a huge reason to why I’m still here."

Grubby's philosophy:

"In every single thing I do, I ask myself: Will this help me perform better? If not, then why do it?"

During his wildly successful career in WC3 Grubby was able to win WCG, WSVG, Blizzcon, ESWC, DreamHack, IEM, e-Stars and WEM events. In SC2 he struggled early on at Assembly Winter 2011 and MLG Dallas but has since achieved his first LAN success in the form of a third place at Copenhagen Games in April of this year.
