At the moment our cash tournaments are still on hold, we'll be running these showmatches to keep everyone entertained while we finish preparing to re-launch them with the new format.

didnt see HwangSin since quite a while (Nasl group matches?)
HyuN should take this comfortably, although really like Hwangsin`s new hairstyle

I had to wince a little bit when I saw Hyun wasn't facing a Zerg. Sorry Hwangsin, this is going to be brutal.

I assume this is played Hyunline, and if it is; then Hyun wins by default. I'll stretch to 4-1.
|
I would be surprised if the score will be anything other than 4-0 or 4-1, pleasantly surprised I might add.
|
I have a hard time seeing Hyun losing this... he's just too good.
|
Hmmm, HyuN isn't playing as great as usual, but HwangSin isn't exactly Code S caliber. Expecting HyuN 4-1, but 4-2 is possible considering HyuN's condition.

HwangSin is good. I'm not expecting a 4-0 sweep from HyuN. I'd say 4-2.
|
Can't wait to cast this going to be loads of fun!
|
PvZ is rough right now, but I also think HwangSin is severely underrated. HwangSin has been working hard at his PvZ and will really come prepared. Should be a great series. I think HwangSin will surprise the naysayers and take the showmatch.

Arkanoid is incredibly boring most of the time and often ends up in build order loses.
I'm the one who picked the new map pool. We've had the same map pool for close to 6 months now that show the same stale, 3 base styles that has been the meta forever now. Made the map pool as diverse as possible bringing in fresh maps to hopefully show entertaining games. We will find out wednesday if this was a mistake or not ^_^

Hyun 4-3. I think we could be surprised though. Why are so many people voting against him?

All the maps are still very new. There was a time where Tal'darim altar was considered an amazing map. There was a time that entombed valley was considered one of the worst maps and now its one of the most balanced. We learn through doing. Already tried out caldium didn't really like the result it had with the viewers so trying out a few of the other kespa maps to see how it goes. Not everyone believes that Arkanoid is the worst of the kespa maps there are quite a few people who enjoy it quite a bit. If it turns out that the players/viewers for playhem do not enjoy any of the maps we have picked we can sub in different balanced maps and see how they do.

HwangSin is good but.. Hyun is a monster Hyun 4-1 probably.
|
Let's go Hwangsin!!!
And thank you Zoia for choosing the maps <3
|
|
|
This is going to be an epic match! :D I hope HwangSin can win!

HwangSin's definitely better than a lot of people give him credit for, but it's hard to imagine him actually winning a bo7 against Hyun. It seems like it could possibly go the way of the recent Minigun vs Scarlett match
|
I see 4-2 Hyun. Hwangsin is pretty good, and that's why I can give him 2 wins against the Hyunstoppable IPL Fight Club champ.
|
I'll just throw a bit of history here.
So back when in the Playhem dailies of Oct 2011-Feb 2012 and HyuN was still a monster, just didn't have his run in Fight Club just yet, these two met plenty of times. They always produced great series and they've both beaten each other several times.
I've known both of these guys for a long time, and I'm going to say it'll go 4-3, but I have no clue which of them will win.
What I do guarantee is that these games will be amazing. Especially if Hwanggie decides to throw out one of his crazy builds (The last showmatch we had him in he 10 min mothership rushed close-by-air spawn on metalopolis and it was amazing.)
|
Going to be sick! Pretty sure it will be me and unctious again
|
|
|
mothership build 4-0 hyun
|
|
|
Its Gosu vs Its Gosu, unless Sir Scoots is wrong, or i am stupid, and didnt corectly understand him
|
Both these guys are my friends, GO Hwangsin! GO HyuN!
|
|
|
That was just overwhelming.
Huh, HyuN used more TvZ style composition completely lacking in Roaches. The fact he went Ultras meant he knew he was ahead dramatically.
|
|
|
Mothership rush! Didn't help much
|
Could someone inform me on why Playhem isn't featured right now?
|
|
|
Eesh Hyun still going strong in online cups
|
|
|
I had fun being able to cast up the last 3 games. Congrats to Hyun for taking the series I was hoping the Icarus game would have been a little longer though
|
idk why anyone would of thought Hwangsin had a shot against Hyun...seems like an obvious mismatch.
