Here's why I've watched Grubby for as long as we've been able to watch replays of WC3 and why I think he's pro; when they were supposed to all meet mid and the weird Orc player just took advantage and attacked Grubby's base instead, a potentially game ending manipulation, Grubby just laughed and lit up. That's a sustainable competitive reaction. NICE WORK WARCHIEF!!!!

One of the big reasons Chinese like WC3 and SK don't as much also comes down to the sorts of strategy and tactics that dominate, and this goes back to their styles of warfare based on their geography for centuries and centuries.
China, at least beyond like 800BCE, had lots of land to expand to, open land and hills, mountains and forests, deserts and pasture land fit for their smaller cavalry forces than everyone north, northeast and west of them. Wu Zi, Sun Tzu, Zhuge Liang all speak to the same ideas of taking a forward position and reacting to the enemy based on knowledge of their forces, the terrain etc etc, but campaign strategy, movements of troops and logistics, always mattered more than battlefield tactics. They always came second during the foundations of Chinese warfare, and would only really be drastically expanded upon later during the Tang and particularly the Song.
The Koreans on the other hand come from a mixture of three different military heritages. First, the Steppe people who settled in northern Korea, creating the first Korean kingdom that wasn't basically a city-state, or maybe few-cities-state. At this time, ~400BCE at the earliest, Chinese classics begin to reach Korea, and start to mix with the Steppe peoples in northern Korean, and all the different groups within the region of Korea. Gojoseon was a kingdom in the region that is now the borderlands of North Korea and China, and through them Chinese culture spread into the other two groups. Then, around 200BCE, the Korean Gojoseon line were overthrown by a general from one of the Chinese kingdoms, and this further spread Chinese culture into Korea.
But Korea is a very different landscape to China, surround nearly entirely by water, but with a remarkably defensive borderland mountain range. And that was where the Koreans made their stand, like 8 times in Korean history. Against Chinese, Jurchins, Mongols, Chinese some more, Khitans, Chinese yet again. They lost some, but never without inflicting massive, massive casualties.
Meanwhile, they still had the Steppe north of them, and excelled in mounted warfare. And had sea all around them, so got good at naval warfare. Their defensive infantry tactics based around extremely fortified positions (which the Japanese also loved, as did the Chinese in the late Song) was combined with raids. The Steppe raids they never lost the ability to do, at least the northern kingdoms. The raids over mountains, the sea raids.

And this shows up in SC2. Harassment of bases, building up defensive positions for all three races being probably 2/3 of non-cheese strategies. Obviously no navy, but even the way they usually play with air matches; they don't go for the giant air death balls without going lots of harass first, almost always.
Where WC3 there are a million different very intricate strategies, particularly that utilize logistics (creeping effectively and knowing what to build with heroes) and lots of trickery. Lots of shutdowns, lots of debuffing.
Also most of the "undead" Chinese censorship was because of laws during Mao's era. People drew him with skeletons, so they outlawed depictions of skeletons. So they drew him with emaciated husks of people, they outlawed that.
God that was longwinded. I am sorry.

No resurrection at 37 minutes made me cry inside.

Loving the FFA content, please keep them coming :D

[tylerallan]

FFAs are just peak entertainment. Love it so much

[Kievlar]

This is super fun FFA!!! Action-packed, light-hearted! Super cool!

[Towelgravy]

26:08 Haha you lived long enough to become the villain. The moment they attacked each other was the moment YOU became a teamer. That's the worst part about 4 player FFA's.. one player always leaves at the start and then unless one dude is staying seperate and booming while the other two dudes fight it out-- it's always a 2v1.

[ASquidWithC]

Would be cool if down the line you did a video on your thoughts comparing the differences between LoL/Dota/HoTS

[chillinpandastudio]

Cool game! Sad to see so many people in chat being offended for some guy who's clearly just having a bit of fun and banter with their favorite streamer, though. Does he come off as a little weird? Sure, but not to the point to deserve such an amount of hate and rude comments. Some of you should really take a good, hard look at yourselves first and grow slightly thicker skin if such miniscule comments somehow hurt you (especially when they're not even directed at you).
