The time has come for our thirty-third 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.

HyuN is riding too much momentum to drop this against an average TvZ'er who stil cannot manage to really win a TvZ set. I predict 5-2 for HyuN, continuing this incredible streak.

"Average TvZ'er", his TvT and TvP is still world class, but his TvZ always looks shaky no matter which opponent he faces. Reminder he is facing HyuN, who has a really strong ZvT, capable of defeating any Terran.

I rarely bet against a fellow Zerg, but Alive is one hell of a player.
This should be a great series.

HyuN 5-0 Alive. Alive just doesn't have the TvZ to win this. Somebody who was flubbing series back when TvZ was terran favoured has very little chance now that it favours zerg.

Hyun takes this easily. TvZ is by far aLive's worst match up
5-2 Hyun

Hyun 5-2. Even before the patch Alive was only an average TvZer. Hyun has also improved leaps and bounds in his ZvZ and ZvP from a few months ago, i don't see why he shouldn't have improved his TvZ as well.

aLive has this, pretty comfortable series for him, hes two class above the likes HyuN played, except Squirtle and dont forget he lost to DRG 1-2 in a very close series.

aLive 5-3

YEEEEEEEEES! Finally a non-Protoss contender. This is Hyun's weakest matchup by far I think because of that aLive should take this, but I forsee a 5-3/5-4 either way. Momentum certainly has to be factored in though, anything can happen

Looking forward to it

aLive might be able to win, but no chance in hell is this a comfortable series for him. Though HyuN hasn't been making a huge splash in the GSL, he tears up online cups like crazy, and almost every interview I see from TSL players they all talk about how HyuN is the best in the house or their zerg players thanking him for giving them a build that won them a game etc.

If aLive wins(Which I don't think he will) it is not going to easy/comfortable....

While Alive is definitely the stiffest non-Squirtle competition he's had yet, you give Hyun way too little credit, especially considering it's an online event, Hyun's domain, basically.
