We are happy to announce a showmatch between desRow and Vera Lynn. With desRow being a pretty well-known player and Vera being quite the unknown player this ought to be an interesting showmatch. All of us have seen the lengths that some PvZ games go to and this might be another match to add to the epic PvZ list!

About desRow:
desRow's played Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos and became a competitive player in that scene. Despite achieving a decent skill level at the game, especially during the Frozen Throne era, he had no notable competitive achievements for that game. desRow shortly entered the StarCraft 2 scene and plays protoss. He moved to Korea to improve his gameplay in 2012 but soon returned due to personal circumstances.

gogo desrow the TRUE hunger
|
Could we get a short post-game interview with both players after the show match. Listening to both Vera and Desrow talk about the game is always informative and entertaining.
Go Vera!
/cheer "Prove it, prove it, prove it!"

I love both players but I'm siding on Vera on this one can't wait to see how she handles Desrow's late game Warp prism play.
Vera Fighting!

Vera is quite unproven, hope for some gg's.
desrow better win though 
|
Desrow is a brave man. There is quite a bit more than 75$ on the line for this guy.
|
Gl to both of the players! ^^ (But to Vera most of all)
|
I've played vera a few times on ladder!  gl both!

I wouldn't know about that, Des'row seems to be on fire lately...

|
since vera is top 100 on eu and top 50 on NA, shes prolly the favorite since desrow isnt capable of that oO
|
goodluck to both, think vera will take it
|
I've never heard of veralynn but I detest desrow so I'm rooting for her 100%

how so?
just played her a couple of times.... she's gonna destroy desrow lol

Yeah, I think Vera has this, after seeing the matches against EG.Machine - don't know about score though
|

|
This is going to be such a good match!
"If any foreign streams want to cast this event, please PM z33k.tv!" If only I wasn't going to be out of town this weekend I'd love to cast this 
|
3.5 hours to go for these two to show off their skills.
You've better been practicing! (yes, I'm talking to you Vera!)
glglgl
|
Good luck to both, i kinda want to see the Panda bear win though 
|
GL !!

Desrow with a 2-1 lead at the moment.

User was warned for this post
|
rofl i dont understand how desrow even has sponsors when he deliberately stays in the game building nexuses when its clearly over, its even more disturbing when i look at the people in desrows chat thinking its hilarious.
|
gogo desrow, funny building hide and seek
|
Desrow tries to put on cannons at VeraLynns third but it get shut down after causing no damage at all and he was way behind.
Vera drownes up hard but doesn't scout or prepair for the DT:s that comes and take out the main and third and the game is over short after that.
Desrow 3-1 Vera
Standard PvZ opening with P on two bases and Z on 3. Desrow goes stargate but does not do much damage. Vera builds an unscouted spire and send 15 mutas towards Desrow who is going for robotic bay and Vera wins soon after.
Desrow 3-2 Vera
|
Vera goes for a fast three hatch muta but Desrow charges in with a 8 gate attack that Vera can't hold.
Desrow 4-2 Vera
Congrats Desrow and well fought Vera!
|
desRow panda smashes another opponent. ![[image loading]](http://www.kolozzeum.com/forum/images/smilies/flex.gif)
Thanks for the games. Nice cast. ^^
|
So according to the casters, this wasn't her at her best. It didn't look that impressive compared to what people have described on the ladder, I wonder if it's nerves? Anyway, looking forward to her showmatch with Ziktomini, maybe she'll get over whatever it was
|
well gg... I have been a fan of Desrow for a long time and I've been following Vera ever since she started streaming. It was a fun match but I've seen Vera destroy kiddies on Gm ladder and this is certainly not a show of her current maximum output. Can't wait to see both players in there future show matches.
|
They would make a cute couple.
|
Desrow too good! Love ya buddy! You got this!! <3
|
Hm, that was fun, I look foward to both of their next showmatches can't say I've seen Vera's stream yet though o: hmm..
|
Desrow top 3 NA player now.

he's good, but this is a very debatable statement to make

wp drw you beat the girl up xD
no srsly wp

Vera is probably a better player then Desrow but it isn't that simple. Desrow has way more experience in a tournamnet setting and that tipped the scale.
When Vera starts to play more tourneys I think a lot of players will dread the Irish power!

well this wasn't a tournament match it's a showmatch. You just need to prepare for 1 person really
