Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier against Lex "RaSZi" Veldhuis both former BW players fights eachother.
From 2+2
"original bet was 50k euro, but Lex said the total amount was 'sixfigs' (including sideaction), he didnt want to say an exact total."

From Lex website

Me:

- Did boxing for 1.5 years when I was 16. I trained once a week for a couple of months at the time, totalling 15-20 lessons. The footwork taught in boxing actually hurt me, cause it's different in kickboxing. It did give me good coordination for training.

- I've been in a couple streetfights.

- I have had a lot of injuries, most of them to the shin and ribs. I bruised 9 ribs total and nearly broke both my feet. After discussing the bet in 2009 August, I started doing some running in February, not taking it seriously till April. Then I bruised my ribs and injured my spleen. This was when we postponed the bet the first time. I wasn't able to train for 2.5 months. After WSOP in september I started doing some kickboxing training, but I overstretched my foot in October and couldn't fight till December. I started again and had a shin injury that made it unable for me to train for 1.5 months. during March I started training again, mostly working on cardio. I had a miniscus injury from running while I was in Vegas 2011 WSOP. I found a guy 2 months ago who fixed it without needing surgery and I have been training a few times a week since then.

I had a shitload of injuries. This is pretty common knowledge for the people who travel the EPT's or who are around me and Elky. It can be checked out. I just think it's important information for possible bets. I do think I'm more athletic than Elky. My coordination is better.



Elky:

- Had kickboxing lessons during the summer of 2009 in Vegas in preparation for a bet with Sorel.

- He has done a lot of stamina/strength training the past 2 years and has been doing a lot of research on eating healthy and nutricion.

- His coordination seems a bit bad and I don't think he is a natural athlete.

- After this WSOP he met up with Lincon Rodrigues, his new coach. Since then he has been training 4 hours a day and went to thailand for 3-4 weeks. Elky will confirm this, he has mentioned all this in interviews.

For anyone else who doesn't know... Elky was the second most successful foreigner ever to play Starcraft in Korea, and RaSZi was AKA Liquid`RaSZi.

So it really happened, eh?

Can someone give me a spoiler-tagged result? I'm at work and can't watch the video.

Raszi had much better technique, if I had to guess he trained much harder. Sick finish! The Dutch are overpowered in kickboxing

They could, but I assume they have moved on from starcraft a long time ago, so why would they.

Lex looked much better in the fight- also Elky seemed somewhat confused about the ruleset- Looked to me like he thought he'd be allowed to catch the kick and take him to the ground or something?

Looking at some of their posts the occationally post in threads and likely lurk the forums. Considering they are both long time members of the community, i woulden't be suprised if they did invest.
Know that you do enjoy your life, and that life is a year-long cycle in which after winter, summer always arrives.
