Should be close, but Stephano just had one week of vacation where he didn't play at all, so I'm giving the advantage to MC, who spent this time playing games against DongRaeGu.

i have no experience with cross server lag, so i dont know how crucial it really is, but this could be a big problem for mc. he needs his amazing forcie fields to defend the 12 min max out.

btw: will there be vods? probably wont be able to watch it but i really want to see it >_<


VODS are posted for the other previous Fight Clubs, so I assume the same will be the case for this one.

Lag can be a problem for both of them( i think stephano forfeited some na matches due to lag).Hopefully it will be tolerable for both players and it won't dictate games in such a way.

Also, will this be live?

That could REALLY go either way.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Stephano got crushed many times before by MC and he should take it easily this time as well the only problem is the cross-server lag which may cost him some games.

MC has a 5-0 record vs Stephano and almost never loses PvZ, this should be pretty easy for him.

I find it hard to get excited by cross server play.

Going to guess 5-3 MC.

It's kinda sad seeing people preemptively make excuses about cross-server lag. Koreans have really good internet, top teams shouldn't have game changing problems playing on foreign servers.

I guess it's another good reason to say "Stephano hasn't legitimately "proved himself" against top tier Koreans", should he win the showmatch.

It's not being used as an excuse for MC theoretically losing in most cases. People, me included, feel that lag ruins the legitimacy of anyone's win because it's just not proper conditions to be playing the game.

You could make both players play with their feet if you wanted and sure they'd both have an even playing feel but it wouldn't be a proper game.

Just listen to the pundits on SOTG when they talked about TSL4 and they mentioned it as well on the show before that. Cross server games are just bad for everyone, players and spectators regardless of who wins.

And you should stop denying that lag exists. I get 250ms connecting to NA from EU and I have good internet and am in western Europe. You can't play the game properly with 250ms.

I'm not denying the lag, I just don't think it's game changing. See my edited post.

EDIT: And I'm playing on NA from Estonia with a shitty connection. I don't get any lag whatsoever.

So why do Huk, Idra and Nestea just flat out refuse to play cross server if it doesn't matter?

Why did Artosis say he has no interest in game played by Koreans on the NA server because they're a waste of time?

If you don't think it's gamechanging then you just don't know what you're talking about. Imagine you're trying to split marines against banelings or land crucial forcefields with a small amount of delay. I've seen people like you with your "I just don't think it's a big deal" mentality, and they only stopped arguing once IdrA himself came into the thread and said that cross-server games are meaningless due to the lag. People like to say, "Well, it doesn't affect macro", but, yes, it does - it affects all aspects of someone's play. When you're a pro and you're trying to do everything to near perfection and you're used to playing with really good latency, lag simply throws you off.

I'm excited for this match just because of the names, but take the results with a massive grain of salt.

Calling MC to win this one, korean protosses have showed many times that they are perfectly capable of dealing with Stephanos ZvP and MC is one of the strongest PvZ players in korea.
I'm probably being ironic
