The time has come for our thirtieth 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.

IPL Fight Club

When: Monday, Aug 20 11:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) (we will also broadcast the match repeatedly afterwards!)

TSL's HyuN put an end to StarTale Squirtle's reign of tyranny, then bulldozed over Root.MajOr last week. He is looking to join the very exclusive three-win club today, but he'll need to get past CranK! CranK is a former SlayerS Protoss that recently garnered some support from TotalBiscuit and Reddit to make a trip to MLG Raleigh. Playing against HyuN here should act as a nice warm-up! Will he have the skills necessary to take down HyuN?

CranK is a good PvZ'er, but HyuN is on a different level. I think 5-2 for HyuN, but could end up even more one-sided.

I think HyuN will win but as far as I remember Crank had a good PvZ so hopefully it will be good

5-3 Crank or 5-4 Crank ( a little biased since I am a protoss and I want to see 1 win.)

Edit: Can anyone from Ipl tell me when HD and Painuser will cast again? or what happened to them?

So many PvZs in IPL FC. Maybe you could break your no mirrors rule. Nobody wold mind seeing TvT, and I'd have no problems whatsoever with PvP and ZvZ.

I don't think there is a no mirrors rule. Marineking played TaeJa. they might just try to avoid it but it has happened at least once

EDIT:
Polt vs Sjow
Ganzi vs Kas
Marineking vs TaeJa
for the complete list of mirrors, so only TvT has been played so far

It's clear that they'd rather not have a PvP or ZvZ though -- a soft rule rather. Bo7 PvP would be pretty funny though.
