Sponsoring a Bo7 between 2 pros of your choice

Hi guys & gals,

So we've been getting some great support for the Dank Templars weekly SC2 newsletter, and wanted to say thank you!

We've also always been interested in sponsoring events, so we're starting out small with a self-organized event, called "The People's Challenge".

Here's how it works:
- YOU vote on the 2 pro-gamers you want to see go head-to-head in a Bo7.
- YOU vote on the 2 commentators you want to cast the Bo7 (the commentators can cast the Bo7 directly on their streams).
- WE organize & finance the event through matcherino, starting off with a prize pool of $125 ($100 to the winner of the Bo7, $25 to the loser).

Now, we love democracy. We'll try to always pick the 2 players / commentators with the most votes. But depending on their availability / interest (and good old fashioned polling trolling, such as the Deez Nuts moment), this may not be possible: in this case, we will go down the list in voting order.

This is our provisional schedule for the 1st edition of The People's Challenge:
- The voting phase will be open for two weeks (until January 3, 2021); we'll provide updates on the rankings on Reddit throughout that period
- On the week of January 4, 2021, we will confirm the participants (both on the player and caster side), set up the matcherino event with the $125 prize pool, and confirm the time of the event!

Also, anyone can vote - you don't have to be a free subscriber to the Dank Templars Newsletter (although that would help!).

Is this something that you guys are interested in? I don't think I've seen other events where people can directly vote for the players they want to see in a showmatch (we may be wrong on this one). But in any case, we wanted to try it out!

For more details, and to vote, click here!

Please let me know if we missed someone (both on the caster and player front). We included an 'other' option in case we did, but would like to be comprehensive anyways.

Thanks and glhf!

Dark vs Serral rematch would be nice for the sake of competition.

I think there'd be a higher chance for Tasteless to get out of bed early and cast this pro bono, but yeah that'd be great

For the next one of the series I d recomend getting people just write in their Players and Casters.
Otherwise at least pic the Players by a more standardised method (like top 30 Alligulac or whatever)
Why is Seither in this list and MaxPax isn t?
No disrespect, but MaxPax is way more noteable in 2020 than him.

For our list, we went with the top players by EPT points, but we understand that some players may be left out (MaxPax should definitely be in the list) - we like your idea to just have an open field instead of set options! Given that the number of responses isn't in the thousands, we should be able to deal with any input discrepancies ourselves (such as spelling mistakes, etc.). Thanks for the suggestion, we'll try it out for the next series!

Players: Serral (45), TY (22), Maru (19), ByuN (17), Dark (16), PartinG (13), Harstem (12), Rogue (12), Reynor (11), Clem (9)

Commentators: Artosis (44), Tasteless (38), Rotti (26), ZombieGrub (17), PiG (17), Lowko (17), Day9 (17), Winter (14), CatZ (12), Maynarde (11)


Really curious if you get someone like Serral or Maru into a 100$ Bo7. For Artosis and Tasteless it might depend on the players you actually get.

Still this is an amazing idear, lets see how it pans out

EPT points is quite allright I gues. It s probably just because MaxPax wasn t eligible to play in the first half of 2020 and improved rapidly over the 2nd half. So his EPT Rank is naturally just way lower than what you d expect of him in his current form.
I m sorry for my harch critic then, I honestly didn t even realise that Seither had so many EPT points, so it never occured to me, that you could ve choosen the EPT standing. Wich is defnatly a good way to determine some ranking amongst the players, as it s also used for our world championchips
