Before the announcement of the ex-MYM Wc3 squad being signed by EG; LGN E-Sports was in the process of interviewing Manuel Grubby Schenkuizen. We touched base on many topics of interest including SCII, the state of E-Sports and the longevity of Wc3.

Q:After MYM dropped their Wc3 squad, and SC squad, what was your initial reaction?

A:I was shocked that MYM could make such a big mistake to drop the WC3 team without further negotiations, and after investing so heavily into it for years. Or in my case - for a year. Generally I don't think a team should pick me up and keep me for only a year, just when we're trying to build up something together. But things don't always turn out as planned.

I felt that ESNation dropping Starcraft showed that they have no interest in the future of eSports and continuing in it. Having a Starcraft team right now probably implies that you are prepping a team for Starcraft II. Outside of Korea Starcraft isn't that big anymore, so it's usually for that reason I guess. I felt bad for the MYM SC guys that I met, though, because I like them a lot.
