I understand why this showmatch is being set up the way it is.

THAT SAID, do you think it would get more publicity/hype if they simply made it an FvJ showmatch (in an ideal world where both could do it, etc. etc.)? Which would be better to represent BW at Blizzcon?

THIS IS A PURELY THEORETICAL THOUGHT EXPERIMENT

As fun as it is, we used to watch FvJ so much because both of their skill levels were so phenomenal, it meant one had to eliminate the other to win tournaments. They both could have made it there on merit again - but JD lost to Last, and Flash lost to Snow, who lost to Rain. I approve of using the current tournaments, and the players who proved themselves recently, to play at Blizzcon.

very nice decision and a nice reward for the recent tournament winners.

Then the winner plays against the winner "Have At You 24".

Pretty sure JD can't leave Korea anymore before he completes his military service.

I'm looking forward to this, but I wish there was some prize money or a really cool trophy or something. A showmatch makes sense if they're doing famous/popular players to promote a new game, but this is the winners of 2 very competitive, prestigious tournaments.

I hope next year they make it something formal, so they can put some prestige/money on the line.

Should be a good show match. It’s funny how they never invite flash to blizzconn but I doubt he wants to leave Korea or wherever he lives anyway. Rain will probably be victorious vs last, last is good but rains pvt is in a whole nother level from what I’ve seen recently. Should be ggs.

FlaSh is very scared of flying so he doesn't want to fly if he can from what I remember.

Scared of flying? Lol. How is he gonna spend that 400k usd prize money he’s made in his career if he can’t take any trips to the bahamas. No wonder his skin is always that pasty color. Shame as he seems like such a smart guy and a natural star, blizzcon and American events would welcome someone like him with tons of love and adoration. There are also events in Europe and Russia that he could participate in although not that many anymore I guess.
