![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/HSkHgO3.png) Now that MLG is behind us and we have some more down time between major events and fresh seasons of team leagues starting up Clarity will be hosting it's second Academy Showdown! A few weeks back we challenged Complexity’s Academy and they answered the call in stride. The series went all the way to game nine with quite a few epic series from start to finish. At the end of it all Clarity was able to pull out the win 5-4 after going up 4-0 at the start. For our second Showdown we have been extended a challenge to Quantic Gaming’s Academy and are happy to say they’ve accepted! We are very excited to test our strength against their solid roster and see if Clarity can take home another win. We’re putting up $100 for every showmatch just to raise the stakes a bit. Tune in for this match on Saturday 7/13 at 9PM EST for the showmatch. It will be cast and covered by our very own Wyrd and ZombieGrub! You will find all of the details below. These showdowns will be recurring to some extent, but not on any particular, set schedule. Our next opponent is already being scheduled. If you’re interested in challenging us, we would be more than happy to oblige. Feel free to shoot an email over to: clarityacademy@gmail.com if you would like any more information or would like to set something up! ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/T5AkONn.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/jvoAGK9.png) As stated above, our second opponent for the Academy Showdown series will be Quantic Gaming’s Academy. Quantic is an established brand that we’re very excited to test our strength against. Quantic has done a fantastic job over the last few months since they revived themselves and have taken the scene by storm, picking up some great rising talent to bolster their Academy roster. Quantic Gaming Roster: Protoss:Bubbles Fiery GGanDoL shinyA  Zerg:Jakebake Glon Lowko kaitlyn Phog  Terran:Macgeoli Paradise YuMe While the Clarity Academy is fairly new, it’s line up is incredibly solid.

Gogo Clarity~

excited for this

I love both of these teams but I have to root for Clarity here! Bails has started to get some well-deserved recognition and could be a huge factor, but I also think that Intense can do some damage. Since I'm a member of the Clarity Gaming Community Team I know more about their guys than the Quantic players so I'm definitely biased. That being said, I'm curious to see how Lowko does if he gets in the lineup - his YT channel is incredibly helpful for Zerg builds and general playstyles. Also, how funny would it be if Bubbles gets cannon rushed?
|
Can't wait to watch! Should be a blast~
|
CG roster so much more well-rounded, but Qntc has some cool people. My mind says Clarity but my heart says Quantic.
|
phog and bubbles are really strong players, but I believe in clarityy c:
then again i'm biasedd
|
Updated the OP with map pool and starting map. Waiting to on Quantic to finalize a starter and I will update those ASAP.
Getting excited for this to go down tomorrow!

I think our team should just draw straws to see who goes first, because any of us will all kill ez anyway
|
Aaaaaaaaand starting matchup is set. Clarity.mewby vs. Quantic.Phog TvZ on Neo Planet S
|
Probably would've been more evenly matched to put out the Clarity Community team here vs Quantic Academy. Hopefully the five games aren't too boring.

Only person on Quantic who is actually decent is Phog, and that's only because he's Zerg.
|

Bails, Badcop, Elige. It not only hindered their play, but also hindered our choice in fielding players as we were on the phone with the ISP (resetting the connection and modem while trouble shooting a fix) during game 1 & 2 trying to get something resolved for the rest of the match. Unfortunately it didn't help. Well, perhaps next time!
