The time has come for our forty-ninth IGN Pro League Fight Club! In this special edition IPL Fight Club, we've got our current Champion, Polt, facing off against our returning Champion, HyuN, in a Bo11 for $8,000 dollars and all the marbles at the Palmer Events Center in Austin, Texas. This match will be played in Wings of Liberty.

(Wiki)IPL Fight Club

When: Friday, Mar 08 9:30pm GMT (GMT+00:00) (we will also broadcast the match repeatedly afterwards!)




Polt
Polt took down one of the best Wings of Liberty players, Creator.Prime last week, and he's back to take all of HyuN's Fight Club glory. HyuN had an outstanding run last year, but Polt advanced further at IPL 5 and has proved his mettle over and over in live events. On top of that, he lives in Austin! The hometown hero doesn't have to travel at all - he's studying English at UT Austin - while HyuN will be fresh in from Korea. Note: this may be the only match-up in which IPL staff are not biased towards HyuN. We're great friends with Polt and I know I'm rooting for a 6-5, all-the way, nail-biter in favor of ... damn, I just can't decide who to root for!

Quantic.HyuN
HyuN performed so well in Fight Club, we renamed it HyuN Club. The kid went 14-1 against some of the best players in the world - PartinG, Squirtle, GuMiho, Life etc. - and only lost to Leenock fresh off of a win from IPL 5 and the MLG Fall Championship. However, SXSW won't be played in HyuN's bedroom, and he'll be jet-lagged, playing on new maps, and hoping to live up to everyone's expectations. Can the HyuN reclaim his title and become the Ultimate Fight Club Champion?

With everyone gone at SXSW, we haven't had time to sit down and plan out how we'll address the IPTL Finals. We'll have more news next week. I know it sounds straight forward, but I don't want to promise anything and then be unable to deliver. People don't like it when you cancel things last minute...

Bummed that it's WoL, but I'll probably watch anyways.

A bit disappointed that it had to become WoL, but this should still be an epic match. Being WoL and all, and looking at their TvZ and ZvTs, I would say HyuN is favored here by a long shot, but Polt might be able to pull off some victories.

HyuN 6-3 Polt

(P.S. Does this count as an official FC, and the winner continues to next week? Or is this a standalone showmatch under the guise of a FC?)

Wait... so Poilt takes out Creator in HoTS after Creator's streak in WoL and then go back to WoL O.o?

So Creator lost his shot at $8000 in WoL by losing in HoTS after 4 win in WoL? Not sure how that works but OK.

We asked Creator if he'd like to pause his streak until he felt comfortable playing HotS. He declined and decided to continue straight into HotS. HyuN and Polt were already decided as the SXSW Showmatch, and it was just coincidence that Polt was the fight club champion at the time and we thought, hey, this would be a fun theme!

Why was HotS not available during this event? IEM got HotS servers, and if IEM can get HotS, surely IPL could, or am I just forgoing/ignorant of an important detail? People expected HotS because it would continue the trend of FC, but the sudden change to WoL did come suddenly, and it caught people off guard. Any reason why WoL was chosen? Would appreciate an answer if you can give one IPL.

Conspiracy theory: Hyun has in fact become IPL Hyun and the $5000 for winning this event is part of his salary, they are playing on WoL to ensure his victory.

I'm onto you guys...

Pretty sure the split is $5,000/$3,000. So the loser still makes more than most tournament winners get.

Polt is a TvP master, but against Z in WoL, I don't think it's gonna be close
