It was so cool to watch you play against Happy. You dont appreciate his dominance in the game until you feel the hopelessness of fighting into his skill. Makes watching those casted games where Happy gets pushed and tested that much more special.

[@txpstar]

@@lnacttive I didn't say it was. But it's also not easy to micro vs rifles. The focus is very strong and you have to be very reactive. Both of them were solid, But I felt grubby was above in this particular game

[@zxbc1]

Sok's micro is the worst among Koreans. It's probably worst among pros. His APM is like 150~ and doesn't even spike. He can't reliably manage a huge army that's micro intensive, that's why he cheeses with the old HU metas like casters and breakers or mass gryphons where all he needs to do is bolt + focus fire. Sok is the most overrated pro among the top ranked players, and it's evident because now as meta game changes his ranking is tanking straight down. But still, a good game by Grubby as he shows that even someone like him who isn't that competitive anymore can still easily dominate a game when the game is about micro.

[@Dangoboi]

@@lnacttive im not very good at warcraft 3. but when i play human i play pala rifle becuase it's the easiest army to micro

[@danielneves6855]

You need to play more times versus Happy 💪🏻 If he goes full ham every game, you will get better by playing versus him more often. Like Moon made you play better. Don't worry about losing. Against Happy is a matter of surviving for long as possible, try to score as many details as possible, every little advantage matters. With >3000MMR he is playing this game close to perfection, with almost zero mistakes conceded. It's insane honestly... your reaction whenever Happy appears on the loading screen is funny 😂 you take a couple of DEEP BREATHS.

[@nikoskarapavlos]

So many likes on this comment, I'll just share my opinion here, I don't speak on Grubby's behalf ofcourse but I don't think Grubby is interested in becoming better in that sense. Improving to become the best in the world only makes sense if you're competing in tournaments. Grubby has already achieved that and I feel that he has fulfilled that part for himself. It doesn't seem to me that he has the internal drive to go through that intense process again. And remember, it's not just about playing against better players and automatically getting better. You can't just casually play ladder games against Happy while streaming and expect to significantly improve. Ofcourse Grubby is capable of improving also in that way, and he proved that a few years ago, but real improvement requires focused, dedicated practice, something much more intense than just playing for fun or content creation. I feel that Grubby doesnt want to go down that path again he has a different life now its been so many years.

[@danielneves6855]

​@@nikoskarapavlos Yes, your perspective makes sense. The first match was wild. The moves behind that double surround looked inhuman. Just flawless micro. Happy moved the low hp ghoul to the right which caused the FS and the Grunts to move further into Happy's units. After finishing the low hp grunt he immediatly surrounded the FS with skeletons and ghouls while the DK just stood in his place before performing any additional action. It felt telegraphed. The cost of getting 1 ghoul from Happy cost Grubby his TP scroll and a Grunt - Every detail is a bargain against Happy. The final straw was that lone skeleton appearing while Grubby was creeping the gold mine. As soon as he moved the FS away, the DK with level 2 deathcoil was already there - he predicted every move. Uncanny game sense. Getting good enough to even challenge Happy seems a rabbit hole that Grubby is probably not interested. But Grubby said he plays better if he consistently faces better players. Maybe practicing against Happy can help him improve, even without dedicated practice to be honest. Also, while Grubby is no longer involved in the pro scene, you can verify that he has played Happy before and he did well against him. I bet if Grubby reviews this match he will find alot of mistakes that Happy exploited. I think Grubby got anxious when he saw Happy on the loading screen and performed worse as a result.

[@Fernandez218]

Grubby makes more money being himself and playing the twitch meta games. He gets way more money grinding streaming than playing tryhard for wc3 tournaments. they payouts for wc3 aren't enough. plus Happy is too dominant. even Lyn has been having very hard time with Happy and Lyn, even Grubby would say, is better than Grubby. Grubby would agree Lyn is a better orc in every matchup. He is the king of orcs.

[@maciekkrupa6851]

​@@danielneves6855. Iam not blind. I watched replay. Thanks for blind users podcast.

[@Vesdus]

I was really disappointed that Grubby didn't play that game out.

[@ageoflove1980]

The game against Happy? That was so over... Grubby took a huge gamble taking that camp because he felt he had to. If it worked he was still in it, if it didnt it was gg. It turned out to be the last. Still, it was probably the right decision because creeping like a madman did seem the only viable way forward in that game. There was no expo to harass and he couldnt straight up fight because he had no TP.

[@garagavia]

His Farseer died

[@ageoflove1980]

@garagavia He basically already lost the game with the double surround in the middle of the map. Losing a grunt, a TP and have the farseer low health against the best player in the world that early on... There is just no coming back from that. Especially since Happy never goes off-meta or take risks or anything that would potentially still provide some sort of way back in to the game. Literally the only chance was to get some insanely lucky item drops but even then it was extremely unlikely he would ever recover. When his farseer died even that small chance was gone and his chance to win was literally zero. When you keep playing when you cant win anymore you are just wasting everyone's time so the gg was the only right choice

[@Vesdus]

This guy is losing his mind trying to justify quitting a game where you have the opportunity to play against the best player in the world.

How neat! wait, did chat ask how deep the Melee rabbit hole goes? well there you go

[@Novica89]

What I don't understand is leaving your far seer surrounded and getting hit until he is at like under 100 hp or so and only then using the TP. I'm guessing that is a mistake due to not being sure whether to use TP or not and then deciding "i think I'm better off using it after all', ending up as an easy target for the opponent if he decides to rush in afterwards, while also using TP

[@E2O10]

It's more to give as much time as possible to maybe kill some of the opponents units. The goal is to tp at 1hp to do as much damage as possible, since orcs can go back and buy salves and be back up to full in no time. Of course, some times, the right move Is to tp immediately, but that's not always :)
