banner from fomos.krMBCGame are hosting a series of show matches with a twist.
Each match will be a seven game series using a 'Skins' prize system.Source: An article from fomos.kr. Watchable on the YaoYuan stream.
Format
The term 'skins' comes from golf, for a tournament where the prize money based on winning individual holes. Win the hole/game, win the 'skin'. For this tournament, winning the first game will net the progamer 100,000 KRW (~100 USD), while the next game is worth 200,000 KRW (~200 USD) and so forth. There will also be bonuses for streaks, like winning 2 games in a row will net a 200,000 KRW (~200 USD) bonus, etc. Thus, with a perfect score on the day, a player could end up with a total prize of more than 5,000,000 KRW (~5000 USD).
Prize money per game| Game | Prize (KRW) | Prize (USD) | | 1 | ₩100,000 | $100 | | 2 | ₩200,000 | $200 | | 3 | ₩300,000 | $300 | | 4 | ₩400,000 | $400 | | 5 | ₩500,000 | $500 | | 6 | ₩600,000 | $600 | | 7 | ₩900,000 | $900 |
Bonus money for streaks| Streak | Bonus (KRW) | Bonus (USD) | | 3 | ₩500,000 | $500 | | 5 | ₩1,000,000 | $1000 | | 7 | ₩2,000,000 | $2000 |
Charity (Thanks to Passenger)
The event is also supporting the 'Beautiful Foundation' by donating 10% of each player's prize money to the foundation in their name.

dang, flash is gonna make a lot of money from this event ^^
|
Hwasin against Stork, Bisu vs Anytime. Those could be quite good, particularly if Hwasin/Anytime deliver.
I don't like Savior's chances though : '(
|
Can you watch these, perchance, on TVants streams from Yaoyuan? Don't they have straight MBC streams?
|
sort of reminiscent of the KT-KTF leagues
i honestly miss them. imo they were the best competitions that showed off who really was the best at the time
|
since there's a prize for a 7-game win streak, they're playing all seven games? I'm not sure how much I am looking forward to 7 games of tvt mastery by 910 and go.go DDD:
savior and sea however <3
|
that is so cool! wish savior is out of slump rite now
|
3/11 Tue : (T)910 vs (T)go.go
Shit I am looking forward to this match

given anytime and bisu's recent performance it is far more likely it is bisu who will have to step his game up

Omg. Is nO.1 commentating or playing? He used to be my favourite terran progamer back in 2002 (because, unlike the other T's he couldn't beat Zerg at all, which means Yellow got a few wins, and he could destroy any Terran, which means Boxer lost a few games). I remember some epic TvTs with him playing.
This is going to be so awesom, and Flash is going to make such a killing.

lol shit 7 games i didnt see the numbers on the left side i thought it was just like 4 games or somtehing loolll shit TvT Bo7 ?! -__-
anyway whats the 'twist' ? just the usage of the 'skins' prize system?
looking forward to see savior play even though i have no hope in him haha. 
|
i dont understand how it works
there will be 7 games because there is a possibility of 7 game streak but how the matchup in round will be determined ? There are a possibility of 12 players so all players wont play all players ? So will it works like that ?
one player with 1-0 will meet in 2nd round a player with 1-0, in the 3rd round one player with 2-0 will have more chance to play a player with 2-0 ?
The best players meet the best players ?
Or is it random ?
Also how the list of player is determined ?
The list Anytime, Bisu, Sea, Free, Hwasin, Stork, Flash, Go.go (because he has good stats of proleague) is ok
But 910 ??? Savior ? Come on where is JAEDONG ????? And luxury ????? WHERE ARE THE ZERG ?????? WHERE IS MIND ALSO ????
i hope the last group is Jaedong vs MInd
Also what will be the maps ?? New maps ?
edit : Ha nevermind, i read the previous post it is a BO7 ? Not 7 BO1 ?
|
Hong Kong20321 Posts
yea bo7 between each of hte 2 players
e.g:
910 vs go.go Bo7 on one day then sea vs savior next time whatever
|
Melbourne5338 Posts
As far as I can guess from the article. They're going to play all 7 games as there is money for each game. 100000 -> 700000 KRW prize for winning the game. This doesn't seem like an invitational tournament, so really the invite criteria is similar to B.Net Attack where they get whoever they want. 910 and Go.Go while a weird choice, have a nice rivalry going on from one of the group select stages when go.go said 910 sucked at starcraft while 910 called him a bug abusing terran.
We'll just probably have to see after the first match to see exactly how the format works.
Luckily, no one will really mind missing 7 TvT games between two mediocre terrans.
|
thx and will the match be on liquidbet ?
|
Melbourne5338 Posts
Probably not, as the details kinda iffy at the moment. Maybe if they have a season after this and we understand it better. But by that time, we'll probably be in full swing with proleagues and starleagues such that there should enough bets to keep you company.
|
Why does savior have the chance (or the burden) to play twice? I guess jaedong refused because of finals and then they took savior twice?
I hope he performes well even tough i root for sea and flash. To loose 0-7 would be pretty crazy.
|
Hong Kong20321 Posts
well i'm sure this is more a fun tournament than anything so its not too much of a burden for the players to play this :\
|
why only 1 zerg
|
fun tournament but with prizes, for me when there is prize there is no laid back tournament
|
so sweet, savior vs sea and flash
cant wait yarrr
|
OMG OMG [NC]..nO.1 ! Haven't heard of him for ages !
Great players and matches coming up ! I wish they would release replays =P
|
time for savior's revenge ;]
|
Any idea what the map pool is?
Savior/Flash is going to be painful.
|
|
|
Why is 910 in there o_O
WOW SOUNDS FUN THOUGH

He's really trying to break out of that slump

i don't know if you're being serious but the replay date for that practice game with memory is september 2007

REACH vs BOXER 7 GAME SET GOGOGOGO
haha, that would be so lethargic
|
Did anyone else think "skins vs. shirts" at first ?
|
This is interesting... how about tasteless commentates?

the first two match map sets are up on the calendar

Melbourne5338 Posts
added to OP, interesting maps
|
so no live streams, i dont even know how to watch the replays
|
Sea and Flash are both so lucky.... I mean, I doubt Savior could even win a single game even if his life depended on it. Super uber winning streak ensured.
|
hmm interesting so this is a bo7 ? the players have to win 4 games ? But if there is a note about a 7 games streak then there will be 7 games played ?
hmm so 7 games ! And intersting maps = fun to watch
|
No, I dont think this is BO7. Player will play all 7 games, and win money for each game. But what I am curious is that : the winner will have to face each other right ? Or it is a round robin format ?
Well, stork vs Hwasin 3 days after OSL final. Hope that the win over Flash will give Stork momentum to roll over Hwasin.
|
ps
savior is going to rape sea and end his slump
you heard it here first
|
map pool is awsome for first two matchup !
looknig forward for a great some great TvT game

Arcadia 2 is sacred ground for Savior. He is 13-1 on Arcadia 1 and 2. Playing on it will help him get back to the Pringles days
|
why inst this leage on Liquidbets¿
|
MBC just non stop with surprises, should get Tasteless back.
good thing Hwasin isnt playing some chump or his teammate.
"Let me skin 7 times in a row and we'll split"
First match up is so meh -__- 7 tvt games and mid tier level.
|
Why oh why wont they give us a jaedong vs hwasin match
|
is GOMTV going through some sort of maintenence right now? Does anybody know if this is going to be on GOMTV?
|

GOM =/= MBC Game. GOM only shows those matches that they sponsor. You will need to have an MBC stream to watch.
|

technically gom don't sponsor the survivor league yet though still show it.
i think they only show major leagues.
|
Hm, this will probably count in the same way the GSI did, special events on the tlpd. I'm looking forward to the Savior/Sea game myself, even if the indication is so far Savior'll get rolled.

is there a live MBC stream
|
Oh my god. Seven (7) TvT games could take about a couple of hours.. like 4-5? This will entertain me during the day, yay! ;D I'm @ work so I will rely on 4 hours of live reports! ;p
|
This is on way too late. I may stay up and watch the first game, but there's no way I can watch many of them.
|
is there any advancement in this? i mean, if they win one bo7, do they play the winner of the other bo7?
|
oh fuck, i forgot day light saving is on.
In order to watch this I would have to stay up to 2:30am.
Fuck this.
|
for those asking for where to watch this, it looks like yaoyuan is streaming it
|
Has anyone got yaoyuan to work?

omg bisu vs anytime, that will be nice..
i want to see BO7 Jaedong vs Flash and Jaedong vs Bisu
|
SAVIOR IS BACK! SAVIOR IS BACK!
Gone are the days of cracklings with no crack. adrenals are overflowing.
|
7 games is too much, see how good savior preformed, he litterly outplayed Flash the first 3 games. But then he might have lost some focus, or got some money under the table hard to believe he dominating steak ended just after the 3 game break..
I have never seen Flash so out of control. even though they are my 2 favorite players I find it hard to look at 7 games in a row with them

Ripped manly men are nothing to Bisu. The fact he's got best to PvP against makes me demand a Bisu victory.

ANYTIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEee is the fucking man.

Some of the numbers can be so misleading...
I.E.: O_O,$2mil?
But, still looking forward to this match. Hoping Bisu gets out of his slump, Savior wins a game and... no 50 min TvTs =D.

wtf? reach? common i'd rather see yellow (the storm zerg, not yarnc) instead >.>
