They've had 2 TvTs, check the Liquipedia page.

With regard to this match - i can't even get excited about the result. Sea is simply not ready for high level opponents, in my humble opinion.
Nevertheless, 10 wins in a row, yay!

Fun games, even if a lopsided end result. Everytime I watch Sea, he keeps getting better!

I guess IPL want to avoid mirror matches, they never do that

They've stated numerous times in past episodes that they would try to avoid mirror matches. Why? Because most people seem to hate them and they are generally shorter than normal match ups. However, in this case I think they really need to throw a curve-ball at HyuN with a Zerg player. Although Rain doesn't sound like a bad choice either! Although he has the OSL to practice. MC and DRG are formidable opponents either way.

At this point, I say throw the whole no mirror except TvT rule out the window. If the players are popular enough, people will watch a mirror, you can't just exclude 1/3 of the game's match-ups for some arbitrary rule. DRG vs Hyun would get way more views than Hyun roflstomping some mid tier foreigner anyway.

Let's get a real opponent for Hyun this time eh instead of a populairity contest, Sea is improving greatly but to put him out there was just silly to start with.

Grats to Hyun.

I would say if you get another Terran (which I recommend don't even bother if you want Hyun to lose), get Jjakji.

Otherwise, get a Protoss player. I would actually highly recommend this in fact.

And to all you fools who keep saying "Sea is not good yet", and whatever non-sense, realize that Hyun has gone 5-1 vs Major, 5-3 vs Byun, 5-3 vs Gumiho, and also 5-0 against aLive. Just because Sea lost 5-1 to a Zerg player that has been crushing everyone does not say much about him in regards to his skill sense.

Mindboggingly silly that Sea was picked (to me at least), someone absolutely top tier is needed to knock HyuN off now, and Sea absolutely isn't that yet.

Hi guys.

I'm the SC2 Operations Manager and I am the one that decides Fight Club participants.

I am working on getting many other players listed in this thread.

It's not always possible. Players don't respond, players decline. I get the best players I can as often as possible. On general principle, I don't want to reinvite players until it's been a calendar year (approaching soon) because many players still haven't had a chance to play that want to.

Without naming individual players, most have declined due to Code S, OSL, scheduling or other reasons, some have been unreachable.

That said, I am not ruling out ZvZs anymore and have been wanting Life for two weeks now. He's a little busy with Code S finals though.
