I cheer for White-Ra, but to be impartial, I think Stephano has 95% chances to win this. Probably White-Ra can take 1 or 2 maps if Stephano will not take it too seriously.

wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut? 5k for a showmatch? this is ridiculous
free 1k for whitera and 4k for stephano

don't think whitera has much of a chance here
stephanos's zvp is the best of all foreigners and certainly one of the best in the world

Also, fun thing:

A random showmatch will give Stephano as much money (minus 200$) as getting 4th place at the IEM World Championship.

I find hosting a 5k $ showmatch kinda stupid, this is too muchthey could add a bit of the money in the prize for the players who get like 6th, 7th, etc place at the event.

White-Ra will lose so badly =/

The Zerg's cost-efficient early and late game units is too much unless you're MC.

HAHAHAHAHA OMFG ROFL

Fuck all these morons on TL.. Yeah Stephano has a good roach build where he maxes out at 12 mins vs toss.. whatever.... you guys are all forgetting about Whitera's skills man!!.. his PvZ is REALLY GOOD too... I've seen Whitera slam players like Nerchio doing troll builds like mass carrier rush off 2 base into 3 base into WIN !!
You guys are morons if you think whitera aint gonna put up a decent fight.. in fact my moneys on whitera FTW!!

and dont get me wrong.. Stephano is a great player n all.. but he has predictable builds, and i hope whitera slams his french ass!!.. its just gonna suck cos it will be casted by catspyjamas... omg that guy is like a walking commercial.. i dont care that hes fat or anything.. hes just BAD... why cant we get incontrol and uncontrollable to cast together.. that would be cute and fucking awesome :D

gogo protoss power!!!!! zerg imba

I really like Cats' Pajamas and Doa, not as much as I like dapollo and TB but CP and Doa are very good and have good chemistry. Not sure why they don't get more love.

Sigh, time to play Cleo. The match will reach 4-4 with Stephano taking the win with 5-4. There will be an early all-in once from Steph, probably 2 from White-Ra.

Calling it.

Oh, and don't mistake my 4-4 tie as if they are equal players.

It's publicity. A lot of the live viewers are not going to be familiar with Esports, so it is important to show them how big it is.

I do think that Stephano has a greater chance of winning, but White-Ra is more than capable of taking several maps and possibly the whole match. If we look at their major tournament records:

White-Ra 3:2 Stephano at the Shoutcraft Invitational (yes, this is before IPL3 but it's not like Stephano doubled his skills right before IPL3)
White-Ra 1:2 Stephano at MLG Orlando Open Bracket
White-Ra 0:2 Stephano during the Sennheiser Cup
White-Ra 1:0 Stephano during Go4SC2 http://www.esl.eu/eu/sc2/go4sc2/cup71/rankings/

So those tournaments add up to White-Ra 5:6 Stephano.
If you want recent results, White-Ra beat Stephano on ladder just this week: http://www.twitch.tv/whitera/b/310502208?t=53m40s

This certainly will be worth watching. I would be very surprised for Stephano to 5-0, 5-1 or even 5-2. Given it's a BO9, a win for White-Ra is unlikely but a 5-0 or 5-1 for Stephano is much more unlikely.
I think it's finally time to admit it might not be the year of Pet
