Guillaume Patry, known in the gaming world as Grrrr..., is a celebrated Canadian professional gamer hailing from Quebec City. Born on June nineteenth, nineteen eighty-two, he made his mark in the competitive gaming scene as a StarCraft player, achieving the prestigious title of world champion in nineteen ninety-nine. Patry's unique approach as a random player set him apart, and upon moving to Korea, he honed his skills focusing on the Protoss race, innovating strategies that would influence the game's meta for years to come.
His career was highlighted by significant victories, including winning the Hanaro OSL, the first-ever OSL tournament, and consistently placing high in various competitions. However, by early two thousand four, Patry's interest in StarCraft began to wane, leading to his retirement from professional gaming.
Post-retirement, he briefly ventured into gambling alongside fellow gamer Bertrand Grospellier but soon stepped away from that lifestyle. Reports suggest that he has since taken on a more conventional role as an ordinary staff member in a company, although he has expressed a desire to return to the professional gaming scene, particularly with the anticipated release of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty.
In addition to his gaming career, Patry has made appearances in television, serving as a panelist on the talk show Non-Summit and participating in the variety-travel show Where Is My Friend's Home in South Korea. In May two thousand fifteen, he signed a management contract with JTBC, further expanding his presence in the entertainment industry. Most recently, in twenty twenty-three, he starred in Season 1 of the Netflix original series The Devil's Plan, where he faced various problem-solving challenges and social dynamics, although he was the first contestant eliminated.
