The World Cyber Games champion Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen continues to flex his muscles as he defeats June "Lyn" Park in the ESL Continental Finals in Seoul, Korea.



Viewers could see Grubby take out Lyn in a thrilling best-of-three Orc mirror series accompanied by shoutcaster Kevin "RotterdaM" van der Kooi's tone. Another championship title to put on the long list of achievements for Grubby after impressive creeping and hero control in the final.

Lyn was able to win the first game on Echo Isles, after both players teched to the accustomed Grunts, Raiders and Spirit Walkers. A well performed creepjack by Lyn tipped scales over to Lyn's favour, who could them take out a handful of Grubby's grunts in order to raze the Dutchman's base.

But Grubby turned things around in the forthcoming two games on Secret Valley and Lost Temple after intense micro management, aggressive creeping and higher hero leveling.

The two Orc players Grubby and Lyn could see themselves leaving the GStar Festival with one win each, as Lyn claimed the IeSF Invitational tournament earlier this week.
