Extreme Masters II - MYM]Grubby > fire_de

The Extreme Masters match of Netherlands Orc MYM]Grubby against Germany Human Fire.de will be played LIVE at the Intel Friday Night Game in Germany, Cologne tomorrow (8th February 2008) at 8 PM CET.

Competition between Grubby and Fire.de was never that fierce until Extreme Masters I, where Fire.de did unexpectedly well by beating both Grubby and ToD in the group stage. This allowed the German player to finish first in his group and proceeded to finish top 4 in Extreme Masters I.

The former SK player who claimed to have retired from professional gaming some time ago, did not really retire, or at least not yet for good. He is still seen partaking in several tournaments.

This match will indeed prove to see if fire_de is still capable in competing among the top-notch players.

Statement from
Netherlands MYM]Grubby

Match vs LiiLD.C.
Lately I've met LiiLD.C. quite a lot, for example in ZOTAC cup finals. We played also on LAN now and then and maybe we will again when MYM plays vs PGS for WC3L. He is a tough opponent and has been getting tougher, and also Elf is pretty imbalanced. Last time I only won 3/2, so it will be hard to keep a good result. Still I think I am pretty good vs Elf, and with the most fair map pool in the world, that of EM, I should be able to do a good performance. In spite of all this, D.C. and me already played each other a while ago and instead I will be facing Fire_de. He is German and he is Human, and he has thought about retiring for a while. I don't think I need to say anything else. GL to us both but more to me cuz fire has towers!

P.S. LiiLD.C. wished Pamela Anderson was his mother!"

Statement from Germany fire_de

Hey,

Friday is gonna be the moment of truth. Am I still capable of beating a real top player or not?
Grubby has shown great results lately and sort of overcome his bad (depending on what u label as bad) results of the past year. Also, he probably has recieved a motivation boost by joining MYM and I dont think he wants to lose his first offline match for his new team.

Personally I really dislike playing vs orc lately, because I do not know how to play against certain hero combinations. I wont mention here which one I mean, but there arent really too many, so most people will be able to figure out which one I mean.
The playing style of orc vs hu has really evolved in the past months and I havent been able to adjust 100% to it, as seen in my catastrophic games against Rob.

Nevertheless I will enjoy playing infront of the audience in cologne and hope that we can show a great performance for the audience!

Good luck, Fire"

I don't know how you see that as an insult. I have great respect for German Humans, and he's good despite having retired before...

EDIT: to #7 not #8, getting used to this system :D

P.S. LiiLD.C. wished Pamela Anderson was his mother!" lol

Well in my memory Grubby always will be in the top and I could not belive that any german human player even with towers can kick away Grubby from the Hill,that's just impossible...

P.S. This is just my opinion :-)

Go Grubby. Although Fire_De is also a very well player. Hopefully Grubby will be able to beat him Go MYM.

I hope fire.de wins. Underdogs are always the best winners(fight harder, have more to prove etc). Plus the fact that everyone has written this off as a walk in the park for Grubby I would hope Fire.de shows everyone that you shouldn't count someone out because they aren't signed to the best team, or have a lot of wins (however important that may be). Just because Fire.de isn't on the best team in the world doesn't mean he isn't a very talented and skilled player or capable of taking out other top players.
