The time has come for our twenty-first 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!)
When: Monday, Jun 11 11:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) (we will also broadcast the match repeatedly afterwards!)
Creator has now taken out TSL.Polt and x6.Sleep to remain champion of IPL Fight Club! This week he faces another Code S caliber monster in the form of Liquid`Taeja! Can he keep up his streak, or will Taeja cause some terrible, terrible damage in this week's match?

well Taeja is usually no competition for creator.... next one pls!
I guess they want to avoid team kills in the fight club.
Well Creator vs Marineking would be such a great match to watch, teamkills don't matter....
Given that there's good money on the line team kills can lead to absurdly stupid mind gaming from both players which could lead to bad/ one sided games so it's probably safer to just invite a strong TvPer who isn't a team mate.

Well Creator is one of the best protoss players out there, he'll for sure win over Taeja.

Why ? Its very old style from Taeja, Flash just copied this from current top players, Taeja pioneered it in fact many month ago in fact
It's not a "style" - it's the willingness to engage vs Colossi and Forcefields with pure bio and the ability to micro multiple groups of bio. I've seen people do the build before, and I've also seen them run and avoid straight-up engagements when the Colossus is out in most cases.

Very risky indeed, but it forces the opponent to act quickly and perhaps make brash decisions in the heat of the moment.

Hm ok in Entombed Valley i guess ? He had a big lead when colo were out, and everybody take fights in open vs colo forcefields, kinda like siegetanks. And splitting bio like that is something every terran does on entombed cuz of the 2 entrances, since defending player has to rely on that obnoxious small ramp and zealot are bad in that case etc

I can recap if u want i wont lr tho too much work. So on metropolis Taeja goes banshee expand, creator who double expand + robo (lol wtf), Taeja obv starts down half the supply but creator mess up multitasking, loses 15 probes and stalkers to 2 banshees, taeja scouts 3rd early and takes his won, goes for a pdd banshee +1 rines 4 medivacs timing ad creator dies since he is on pure blink stalkers and none of his up/tech had kicked in. Taeja did some fancy observer snipe with the raven and the invincible banshees helped a bit
-- Atlantis both double expo, taeja off 15cc, goes for wonky tanks + upgrades(MKP did that before vs parting), with bunkers to be safe, predicts the 8 gate from creator nicely -- LOL 2tanks + 3 bunker is no match for warpgate, taeja defends but loses 24 workers, creator doesnt save his units tho -- WORDS CANT DESCRIBE TAEJA HANDSOMENESS -- drop tanks on cretor 4th, so that they cover his bio units who attack the third, total mess for creator, still lives but taeja reverses the 20 supply lead, same upgrades, Taeja attacks 3rd again with mass bio, creator had lost 2colo before, no archons ( 10 sec missing on templar archive), Taeja 50 supply and a base up, and wins after creator gets mad and counter attack
Meh hope we'll get to see his tvz, theres not that many available from his new style in tournament play and i think hes the best in the world at the matchup, at least pure bio raven style, really want to see him beat mkp and that ipl feeds him zergs

you're mistaking bomber for taeja, though taeja does have some good tvz.

If nobody defeats Taeja does he just stay on indefinitely?
Yes. And with every week the bounty on his head will increase by an extra $100 added on top of the $500 for winning. Taeja will of course also get $500 for every week he wins.

No both play that style, watch taeja vs sheth at redbull lan. bomber is really good at it, but hes more of a tvp and tvt expert i feel, his tvz relys mostly on him being so smart and good at macro, but i feel like taeja is more comfortable at being aggressive, so he might be a tiny bit better in the match up. He was said to be unbeatable tvz by korean pros before the patch, and he himself was saying zerg is too weak vs terran lol...
Now who will get the million dollar bounty on taeja head is the question lol

same with puma at ipl4 T_T
and DreamHack Stockholm
creator was at dreamhack? o.O
he probably interpreted your post as puma gets his face stomped at ipl events. Puma got stomped at ipl4 and really really stomped at DH stockholm.

Ah, sense this makes. I meant that, yeah, Creator got stomped by Jjakji in ToC and Creator also got stomped by PuMa at IPL4 and now by TaeJa in FC in pretty similar fashion (misengages)

MKP's TvT is not unbeatable, and he also got knocked out of Ro16 Code S by Taeja last season so who knows xD.
Anyway, I love both players, and don't want either one to lose. So sad they'll have to face each other T_T
