Thats a neat showmatch idea, pitting the current asl vs ksl champ. Like it way better than a generic jd vs bisu (or comparable) showmatch.

this reminds me of the OSL vs MSL winner that was done back in the day. Only difference is that this is at blizzcon, and likely once a year, assuming they bring it back next time as well.

if the top 4 for ASL and the top 4 for KSL were completely unique players (sadly rain was in both top 4), we could even do a proleague style 4 1v1s and an ace match for KSL vs ASL. I think that would be awesome too.

those never happened.

you're probably getting confused with the gomtv classic showmatch between the winner of season 2 (jaedong) and season 3 (bisu) with the infamous "ITS CALLED HOLD POSITION BRO" call by SDM on andromeda when bisu failed to hold position his zeals on the ramp.

Should be a even show match of top players and scbw talent so it’ll be cool to spread the popularity of the game at a high exposure event like blizzconn.

If last beats rain, that will cement him as the #2 best in the world IMO.

Assuming that rain plays his best... He is hot or cold these days

Great news for the BW croud. If the stream/attendance is high perhaps bigger and better things are on the cards?.

No Flash makes me sad but Rain vs Last has potential to be a quality series.

I'm kind of upset by the phrasing in that post by Blizzard. Here's what I'm talking about:

https://imgur.com/a/mAMe58p

I'm not trying to fanboy Flash here, but it's really a slap in the face for him. Not only he wins 3 ASLs in a row, but ABSOLUTELY NO ONE IS NEAR HIS LEVEL OF PLAY. Ask anyone, any pro about this and they will say the same thing. Just throwing that phrase: "[...] exhibition match that should settle all debate on who is the world’s top StarCraft player." is absolutely ignorant. Flash is THE BEST player post Kespa era PERIOD. Theres nothing to 'debate' here, Blizzard...

It's a bit silly but honestly anyone who actually follows BW knows it's just a thing to hype up the match. No one's forgetting about Flash (as proven by literally the first few comments).
MMOs kill APM. However Proleague plus BW Proscene music increase APM -> 100. 이제동 Fighting! Highest ranked Jaedong owner in FPL10 = clearly #1 Jaedong fan~! <- Keeping my sig from 2010

yeah I was also a little but suspicious of that wording but it is what it is. They just want to build hype for the match, to be fair it will be very exciting, Last has proven that he has greatly fixed his TvP and Rain needs a good PvT challenge to prove that even though his PvZ is very weak, his other two matchups are still solid rocks.
