写在IEST失利之后:Grubby可能放弃兽族

　　(Things aren''t the way they used to be - Human / Elf dominates all tournaments, and each orc map is being systematically removed. Is there a reason that SV, LT, Maelstrom, Gnoll Wood are being dropped by many tournament organisations? What of Turtle Rock (has never ever been good for Orc), Terenas Stand (has been good against Undead for a couple of months, never been good against Human& Elf), Twisted Meadows (good map for Orc against Human only! Or so they said... guess militia creeping has something to say about this), Echo Isles (decent map)? Why have爐hese maps stood the test of time for more than 4 years?) 

　　(If you knew me, you knew I''ve never limited myself to one race. I once was Orc, until Dryad/Bear drove me to explore the possibilities of Night Elf and more importantly abandon Orc. I once was Elf until I decided a human was going to win WCG 2003 for sure- I wanted to be that human and I got closer than I ever could''ve with Night Elf. I once was Human, until I decided TFT offered new possibilities to the Orc race, my first love, and I solidified my presence in the scene with Orc. Many players see switching race as a weakness - I allow you your beliefs without passing judgment. I see the choice of switching race as a strength, one that inspires creativity, offers enjoyment, stimulates new thought processes, keeps opponents off-balance and can create chance where before you saw only defeat. You can not convince me that changing race is a weakness. Sticking with a strategy, or race, where you know it leads to defeat, is a weakness. Now it all comes back to me, and I wonder if I shall take a look on the other side.) 

　　如今已经不是当年的世界了——人类和暗夜统治了所有的比赛，同时每一张兽族的地图都被去除。有什么理由SV, LT, Maelstrom, Gnoll Wood这些地图被很多的比赛去掉？为什么不是TR（从来就不是兽族的主场），TS(曾经有一段时间对打不死有利，很不好打人族和暗夜),TM(只是打人族有利 ，我想遍地的民兵对此会很有意见)，EI(比较平衡)？为什么这些地图在比赛中已经用了四年之久？

　　如果你知道我的话，你就会知道我从来没有将自己限制在一个种族。我曾经是用兽族，直到精灵/熊促使我去开发暗夜的可能战术同时更重要的是我放弃了兽族。我曾经是精灵，直到我看到人族如此轻松的赢得了WCG2003，我想成为那样的一名human选手，于是我比当初学暗夜更加努力的去学习人类。我曾经是人类，直到冰封王座给兽族提供了新的可能性，我的初恋，于是我又坚定了用兽族的决心。许多选手视换族是软弱的表现，也许你们并没错。但我认为换族是一种力量，他能促使我创新，提供快乐，刺激你产生新的想法，让选手不再为不平衡苦恼，还能创造机会--以前你只能看到失败。你不能强迫我认为换族是懦弱的表现。坚持一种只能带来失败的战术或种族才是懦弱。现在我想通了，我想知道是否我应该考虑换族
