About GrifballHub

GrifballHub is a collaborative effort brought to you by several of the more active and well known members of the Rooster Teeth grifball community. Our goal is to provide you, the grifball enthusiast with news and insight on the game of grifball including its leagues and tournaments. We all share a similar passion for the game and through GrifballHub hope to help expand the community and its fanbase.

For now our focus will be on the U.S. leagues, both Pro and Amateur but we hope to eventually recruit more to the staff whom are capable of covering the remaining active grifball leagues.

Puptastrophe | Maintenance/Co-Creator
Puptastrophe (or Puppy), as he’s known by most, has been a part of the grifball community for more than a year now.

His love for the game began during the very first grifball double xp weekend.

It was an instant addiction which would lead to joining the Rooster Teeth league and playing for two seasons with Team HLC in the Spring and Summer before moving on to play with Bleep Bloop for the past two seasons.

When not participating as part of a team, Puppy can be found playing pick-up games with many of the community regulars. You can also be sure to find him playing each month in the grifball double xp playlist in Halo 3. Pup has earned 6,000 XP legitimately, though he’s often accused of boosting.

HighlndHellrazr | Writer/Co-Creator
Highland, as he’s best known, has been playing Grifball since the off-season between Spring and Summer League of 2008. His first experience with the game of Grifball was the first Double Experience Weekend where he jumped in, found a game type that didn’t require insane targeting abilities and the rest is history!

After contacting the people on the Grifball Welcoming Committee on RosterTeeth forums, he was shown the ropes by Moo Cow, introduced to Cleo Mouri (captain of HHDDVVDDBVD) and became a tank on that team. After a few weeks on HHDDVVDDBVD both Highlnd and Cleo were recruited to The 9th Wonders for Summer league where massive lolz were had.

After a bit of jumping around in the post-summer off season (9th Wonders, HLC, Bleep Bloop, Put It On The Pad) he settled in as the starting Tank and general hell raiser for his team, ROFLCOPTER. He plans to continue building his team with his captain through Spring league with high hopes of becoming a playoff contender.

Highland is also a very active member of the Grifball Welcoming Committee and often organizes Bum Rush Tournaments.

Dragon of Exile | Writer/Co-Creator
Known to many as Dragon, and to a few as Dan. Dragon has been an active part of the grifball community for the past year, finding out about the sport in the middle of the 2008 Winter League.

After no offers while searching for a team, Dragon decided to form a team based on his attitudes and weekend hobbies. Thus the Hard Liquor Chasers were born, which would begin their legacy in the first H3P tournament. Dragon for now continues to captain his bastardized team in the Legacy divisions.

Dragon known as a decent tank and a horrible ball runner. Often you can find him tanking his team into a shenanigan filled bomb plant, screaming like a girl as he’s chased carrying the ball, or just humming the Doug theme song. Don’t forget to watch out for Dragon’s love taps and hugs.

Dragon leads his team to fun and hopefully some wins, and now he looks to help lead this community into more fun.

Goosechecka | Writer/HubCast
Goosechecka, more commonly referred to as Goose or Goosey, started playing Grifball in Summer of 2008 and co-founded The Ways and Means Committee. She remained relatively unknown until the Winter 2009 Rookie All-Star match, where she was nominated and selected as a hybrid.

After the All-Star game, Goose was befriended by all-star teammate, HighlndHellrazr. Highlnd began including Goose in pick-up games and scrimmages, and showed her the ropes on the forum. Since then, Goose has been a regular and active member in the Grifball community.

Goose’s game of choice is Grifball, but you can also find her playing Halo 3 and Left 4 Dead. She’s known for her rants about rookie’s rights and is always on the lookout to volunteer or lend a helping hand.

CaptainR3dbeard | Editor
Known simply as Redbeard, he stumbled upon Grifball by chance during the Spring League of 2008.

His first interactions on the official grifball forums were with none other than Puptastrophe, who brought him into a few pick-up games with his teammates at HLC. He instantly became fascinated with this game of hammers, swords, and explosions.

Redbeard joined Eastern Standard Time for the Rookie Summer League of 2008, meeting the captain during the try-outs of a different team. He would later join Super Awesome Villains Forever for the Winter League of 2009, a team that shared their division with EST during the rookie league. In the final games of the Winter league, his team fell apart, leaving him teamless for a second time.

After seeing the way many of the legacy players treat rookie players, Redbeard decided that he too will begin the new season as coach for new players, hoping that he can bring a new level of play to the rookie league, allowing it to flourish. As a response to this, we joined the Grifball Welcoming committee, as well as GrifballHub, in hopes of being part of something amazing.

Toktyn | Writer/Video
Toktyn has been playing Grifball since the day it was debuted by RoosterTeeth but didn’t join a team until Spring League.

After his first season, he became strictly a tank and created the ever memorable Spawn Bonk!, best known by the growingly popular Spawn Bonk! Launch. After Spawn Bonk! dissipated, Toktyn joined That’s What She Said and has played with them ever since.

Toktyn was the first legit 5-star general in Grifball XXP and still spends a large portion of his weekends playing it when he can. Despite being the first, Puptastrophe has since surpassed him and holds the most xp in the playlist of anyone.

Outside of Grifball, Toktyn spends most of his time writing stories and scripts for films.

BobbyBirdseed | Writer/Editor/HubCast
Known by Bob or Birdseed, BobbyBirdseed just happened to find Grifball in a Double XP weekend, and he quickly grew to love the game.

Bob quickly became active on the grifball.com forums and then decided to captain his own amateur team, Baby Genesis Device, in Spring League 2009. BGD quickly became known after beating Team India then marched on to go 10-0. They finally lost to Hard Liquor Chasers in the 3rd round of playoffs. After the Spring season, his team fell apart, except for one loyal member, and he quickly joined up with some new friends to form a new team.

He doesn’t know what his future in the league holds, but you can guarantee he won’t be going away anytime soon.

His first involvement with GrifballHUB was when he offered his services to be Toktyn’s minion for the Grifball Commercial. He then offered to write and co-host in the HUBcast, GrifballHUB’s official podcast. He now has the mantle (although maybe self titled) “Official Amateur Correspondent of GrifballHUB.com”
