- "My brief stint on palying in the (much cooler) living room is now at an end, and I'm back to my attic gaming room," writes the 24-year-old Orc player.
- "It's significant to me, but probably only to me, and I don't know why it's important. Perhaps it's because I did do some kind of 'moving' before both of the WCG's that I won," says Grubby and ends with the words "It's gotta happen now!".
Grubby won the World Cyber Games back in 2004 after defeating Tae Min "Zacard" Hwang, and recently in 2008 after eliminating Jae Ho "Moon" Jang.
2010 will most likely be the last year the World Cyber Games will feature WarCraft 3 in the game list. Should Grubby manage to claim this championship as his, he will be the only player in World Cyber Games history to have ever won it three times.
