MYM]Grubby: A Progamer's Trophy Cabinet

Ever wondered what happened to those trophies and medals given out to progamers after each tournament? Some may store the trophies and medals away in some boxes, some would display them in their living room or bedroom perhaps. Others may showcase them in glass cabinets. At least Singapore myMYM]Cassandra knows what happened to the trophies and medals that one particular accomplished progamer received from his 5-year progaming career so far.

In her article, we will peek into MYM's 22 year old Warcraft III progamer, Netherlands Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen's trophy cabinet(s).

Grubby is arugably the most consistent progamer e-Sports has ever known, he had won countless of tournaments over the last five years. He is also the only progamer in the world who has both, the ESWC (Electronic Sports World Cup) and WCG (World Cyber Games) titles; having won ESWC in 2005, and WCG in 2004 and 2008. Grubby recently entered the WCG Hall of Fame.


Grubby fans during the WCG Finals 2008. Grubby is also very widely known as "The King of Orcs".

 

Grubby recently built himself a new gaming room in his new house. Having his own house also means more space for himself and his gaming passion. He wallpapered every inch of the walls himself, also with some help from his Dad. These trophy cabinets are positioned to the right of his gaming table.

"Grubby recently built himself a new gaming room in his new house. Having his own house also means more space for himself and his gaming passion."

Is it really an own house or is it rather something like a flat?

Maybe Grubby can open his own Museum soon, go for mor GOLD ;)
