>> STREAM IS HERE!!! <<

compLexity Gaming is proud to announce WEEK 10 of its biggest initiative in the StarCraft 2 community, The V! The best test of skill in SC2 is of course the 1 v 1, and we're going to showcase it every week with a best of 7 series between two invited players. The winner will receive $100, and the loser will just have to hang his head in shame as he types "gg." Whoever wins The V will be expected to play the very next week at the same time!

Here are the details for Week 10:

Who: + Show Spoiler +

Cong "EG.StrifeCro" Shu - Zerg
[image loading]

Abdulaziz "coL.CrunCher" Abed - Protoss
[image loading]

When: Friday, March 25th, 23:00 GMT (+00:00) (7 p.m. EDT, 4 p.m. PDT, Midnight CET)

Stream: >> STREAM IS HERE!!! <<

Cast by AskJoshy and potentially a compLexity Staff or Player co-caster. Stream can be seen on the front page of compLexityGaming.com

Format: Best of 7 series, map pool is as follows:

Game 1: Shattered Temple
Game 2: Backwater Gulch
Game 3: Terminus RE
Game 4: Metalopolis
Game 5: Typhon Peaks
Game 6: Xel'Naga Caverns
Game 7: Crossfire SE

In the event of a disconnect, the game replay will be reviewed by a player panel to determine if a re-game is necessary. If one player disconnects three times in a single night, he will forfeit the series and the non-disconnecting player will be asked back to the next V.

Prizes: The winner of the best of 7 series will receive $100 via Paypal and be invited to play again the following week. The loser will receive nothing. Every week we have a different giveaway for our viewers, so be sure to tune in for instructions on how to win! This week we are giving out a pro-gaming laser mouse worth $80 from QPadusa.com!

So come join us for the tenth ever edition of "The V" and see if StrifeCro from Evil Geniuses can topple the three-time champion (defeating PainUser 4-1, SjoW 4-1, and LzGaMeR 4-1), compLexity CrunCher! Please feel free to vote in the poll and leave a comment with your series score prediction!

I believe in strifecro, especially given how much practice he can get from an analytical protoss like Axslav :D

Hmmmmmmm. If StrifeCro can get pass Cruncher's early game aggression than he's guarantee to take the series. His late game ZvP is much better than most Zerg in NA ^_^

Thats interesting. I wonder if Cruncher and Idra have already played for TSL ro32 cause we know they're commentating from replays.

If not then Idra's gonna get to see Crunchers PvZ across at least 4 games, which is huge!

I also fear for Stifeco cause you know Cruncher's training PvZ HARD for Idra.

It's true we've seen CrunCher in only PvT situations so far on The V, but he's been practicing PvZ for weeks since the TSL 3 selection. Axslav should be a great training partner for StrifeCro, though!

He was the underdog to both PainUser and SjoW, two very well-established tournament winners. But, the fact that you're saying this makes me think CrunCher is starting to gain some respect around here. =P

Updated the original post with the mouse giveaway, worth $80 so be sure to watch the stream Friday night for your chance to win. =D

I think the matchup has contributed a lot to cruncher's success. We already know he has good pvt, but putting him pvt 3 weeks in a row was probably not the best Idea. I've seen a couple of his pvz games, and if strife plays smart and safe im sure he will win.

With the way I've been seeing infestors shredding Protoss armies since the patch, I think we will really see a great series tomorrow night.

sjow wasn't strong enough?

and I think StrifeCro is a good challenge, being that they're both former wc3 gamers who were good at different times :D

I'll probably start testing the stream around 5 or 5:30 p.m. EDT, playing music and goofing off in custom games if you want to trickle in early.

Game 1 - Close positions
Game 2 - Cannon Rush/Turtle
Game 3 - Turtle until 200/200 with cannons
Game 4 - Something else boring?

Time to watch the FXOpen invitational.

Cruncher playing extremely solid. Can't wait to see the results of his match against Idra this weekend in the TSL.

Edit: 4-0 Cruncher! Wonderful cast again Joshy! Always enjoying your casting you've improved so much since you started. GG's

Yeah, what's up with that? his game 1 and 2 vs LzGameR were the best, haven't seen someone get dominated so hard from start to finish in those two games.
