Manuel "Grubby" Schenkhuizen (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈmaˑnyˌwɛl ˈsxɛŋkˌɦœyzə(n)]; born 11 May 1986, Nieuwegein), is a Dutch professional PC gamer. He has been competing in eSports in the real-time strategy game Warcraft III (WC3) and Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. As an Orc player, Schenkhuizen has won more than 38 LAN tournaments, of which 6 are World Championships.[1] Grubby has been known for being part of one of the most successful WC3 teams in history, namely the British 4Kings. Later teams include the Danish MeetYourMakers and the North-American Evil Geniuses. Grubby enjoys a large fan base throughout the world and especially in China. He's sometimes characterized as being not one of the fastest players, but one that compensates with smart and effective play styles.

eSports career

Schenkhuizen has been in three professional teams throughout his career. His stay in Four-Kings (4K) lasted from October 2003 until January 2008. From January 2008 until January 2009 he featured in MeetYourMakers (MYM). Since April 2009 until April 2011, Grubby has been in Evil Geniuses (EG). Together with the multi-gaming team Four-Kings, Schenkhuizen had been on an undefeated streak for over a year. In the past, he has formed strong 2 versus 2 teams with Arvid "Myth" Fekken, Yoan "ToD" Merlo and Olav "Creolophus" Undheim. In 2008, 4K discontinued their Warcraft III team and all the players went their own way. After the disbanding of the team MeetYourMakers in January 2009, Grubby and his then team mate Jang Jae Ho parted ways. He has since then joined the clan EvilGeniuses with his wife[2] Cassandra "PpG" Ng. His major tournament victories include the World Cyber Games in 2004,[3][4] the Electronic Sports World Cup in 2005,[5] the World Series of Video Games in 2006, the World Cyber Games 2008,[6] World e-Sports Masters in 2009 and e-Stars 2009King of the Game, SeoulSouth Korea

His accomplishments in the two World Cyber Games victories have led him to be included in the tournament's hall of fame.[7] Schenkhuizen is the only WC3 player to have won both the WCG and the ESWC title. He's also one of the longest playing professional players of Warcraft 3. His total prize money earnings exceed $160,000 USD.[8] Schenkhuizen is the protagonist in the documentary film Beyond the Game.[9]

In 2011, Schenkhuizen moved from Warcraft III to StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. He has an exclusive sponsorship deal with SteelSeries.[10]
