Orc Star Manuel "4K^Grubby" Schenkhuizen to forfeit his position as title defender for the World War Event.



If you have played Warcraft for even a day, you have heard the name of the player Netherlands Manuel Schenkhuizen aka Grubby being mentioned somewhere or the other. Regarded as the greatest Orc player of this game and one of the best overall in the game world wide, he hardly requires an introduction.

Recently, Grubby had played Korea Jae Wook "MYM]Lucifer" Noh for the World War Opening Showmatch, where the winner would stay and the loser would be out of the tournament. Grubby went on to win the match in a convincing 3:1 victory over his Undead opponent. This placed him on the throne and he awaited the challenger that would arise from a list of impressive names.

However, in a recent development and rather shocking revelation, Grubby has mentioned that he will in fact not be playing the final championship match. He says that the hectic schedule that he has followed over the last 3 years has left him relatively little time to spend with his family. With conflicting schedules of WSVG and Blizzard's Season 4 Qualifers which are clumped together leaving little time for refreshing himself and also taking its toll on him with the constant travelling, Grubby decided that he would not attend the final even though the MBC staff were very accomodating. He mentions that travelling over 14 hours within a small time gap would hardly leave him in a condition to compete.

Thus, Grubby decided to take sometime out for spending time with his family and his girlfriend who is also pretty popular herself, Singapore Cassandra aka PpG who will be joining him in Netherlands coming December. He states in his blog that while he wouldn't miss an event in Warcraft anytime and any place, there has to be sometime alloted for personal issues and this he believes is the right decision.
