A native of Quebec, Canada, Patry actually started his competitive career as part of the Quebec Junior Provincial Ski Team. By high school, Patry had already become the world��s premier Starcraft gamer and also the first-ever non-Korean professional gamer in South Korea. Residing in South Korea since 2000, he reached celebrity status in both the gaming and mainstream media of his adopted homeland. TheGrrr�� gradually built his profile online, but it wasn��t until this year that he made the step into major live tournaments with appearances at the PokerStars.net APPT events in Manila and Seoul. He was a massive chip leader midway through Day Two of the APPT Macau: Asian Poker Open Main Event, but rode the roller coaster late in the day before consolidating his spot in the final nine. He is a member of Team PokerStars.
