Guillaume Patry

Background

Guillaume Patry's career took off when he dominated the StarCraft scene as a random player, but his true impact came after arriving in Korea, where he specialized in Protoss. While Garimto is credited with pioneering many 'cheesy' strategies for the race, virtually every standard build order of the time was a direct result of Grrrr's innovations. His crowning achievement came when he won the Hanaro OSL, the first OSL ever held, and he also secured a king of kings tournament.

Over a long career, he placed high in numerous other competitions. However, his interest and performance in StarCraft eventually declined, leading to his retirement in early 2004. After stepping away from the game, he took up gambling with Bertrand Grospellier, a former French professional StarCraft player, though he later quit that as well. According to a report from FOMOS, Patry was living as an ordinary staff member of a company, but he mentioned the possibility of returning to professional gaming after the release of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty.

In 2015, he signed a management contract with JTBC, and he appeared as a panelist on the talk show Non-Summit and as a cast member on its spin-off travel show Where Is My Friend's Home. In 2023, he starred in Season 1 of the Netflix original series The Devil's Plan, a Korean reality show where contestants solve problem-solving challenges and navigate social dynamics. He was the first contestant eliminated.
