The time has come for our fifth IGN Pro League Fight Club! This is a weekly king of the hill showmatch series. Basically, there will be a 1 vs. 1 best of 9 showmatch each and every week, where the winner will earn a $500 prize and a $100 bounty on their head. For example, if a player wins three weeks in a row they will have earned $1,500 and a $300 bounty. If a NEW challenger defeats him, they will earn $500 for the showmatch, take the $300 bounty home, and have a new $100 bounty placed on their head for each week that they win. (Similar to IPL Team Arena, but without the teams!)


Stream Link: http://www.ign.com/ipl


When: Sunday, Dec 18 1:00am GMT (GMT+00:00) (we will also have a European re-broadcast as usual at Sunday, Dec 18 5:30pm GMT (GMT+00:00))




The competitors of IPL Fight Club 5 are two titans of Terran terror. SlayerS`GanZi was the one to dethrone our first champion, Liquid`Sheth, and will now be facing the player that some folks consider to be the best player in all of Europe: Empire.Kas! Who will have the superior playstyle, build orders, and decision making in this best of 9 series?!

I don't see Ganzi losing a TvT to a foreigner, even though it is Kas. I predict 5-1

Wow, this one should be good, I think Ganzi wins, but Kas should be able to put up a good fight.
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

Too many good Slayers Terrans to practice with, and it is a best of 9, so upsets are unlikely, Ganzi heavy favorite here. I can just imagine Idra watching the whole match over Ganzi's shoulder in the Slayers house, grinning malevolently and petting a cat.

Ganzi's TvT isn't exceptional. It'll be closer than you think.

This will be a really good match. Kas probably has close to if not the best foreign TvT. Ganzi is a TvT monster as well.

Kas beat MKP 2-0 a week ago. | http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/World_Cyber_Games_2011/Main_Tournament

So it should definitely end up being close.

Well if Kas isn't nervous this can be close, if he is nervous this will be rape.

Kas is the best foreigner terran imo, a bit better than Thorzain mechanically even. But his nerves sometimes...

YES! Thank you IPL, finally some love for Empire! And deservedly so, Kas is maybe the best foreign Terran.

I always wanted to see him play some games against Korean terrans instead of just smashing foreigners in team leagues (and in high quality, not WCG 240p).

Plus it's online so Kas should be super comfortable. Or did they play when Kas was in Korea? I don't even know if he still is.

ThorZain and Kas are not really in the same league honestly. Not even close. Depending of the timezone (GanZi said he was tired against Sheth) it can be a somehow close serie on NA server.

Ganzi > MarineKing TvT
Kas > MarineKing TvT

Might be interesting. They both have ~equal lag (Ukraine to USA and Korea to USA are pretty similar), so it could be interesting. Still think Ganzi wins though.

Ganzi should have this definitively imo, but Kas is good.

5-2? Maybe 5-3? TvT isn't as coin-flippy as the other MMU's, which is pretty nice.

Best player in Europe? I think Sase, Thorzain, Morrow, and Mana are all better.
