TLO: Perhaps best known for his beard, his name "The Little One" hardly reflects on how well this man plays Starcraft 2. Once Terran, now Zerg, whether it's WCS, Homestory Cup, or just ladder, he displays his skill to the world, while being incredibly like-able!

SJOW: RUMORS HAVE IT SWAPPING TO PROTOSS? It doesn't really matter, because whether he's playing Terran, Protoss, Zerg, or even Random, Sjow is a guy who will leave you impressed. SjoW is also known for having significantly lower APM than most of his opponents, but employs intelligent strategies and tactics to compensate for this.
+1 for the coolest glasses

VIBE: ROOT. GRANDMASTER. ZERG. What more needs to be said? Vibe is a really nice guy, and can often be found playing Wednesday Night Sprites, when he's not casting with Livibee. (Fun lil' story: I was impressed with how smart Vibe was, I casually asked him, during a SC2 Cast, if he'd like to play a showmatch sometime. He happily accepted, and that's why he's here today!)

NONY: Pronounced "Noony", this fine gentleman has been everywhere in Starcraft 2. From the pro scene, to the casually entertaining twitch streamer, you can often find many hilarious moments on his youtube channel. If you're looking for high level Protoss game play, from a genuinely entertaining fellah, Nony is your man.

and two other mystery players to warm us all up, from Quantic Gaming and Love Your Girlfriend!

This won't be pretty for Sjow. TLO might be extremely overshadowed by his teammates Taeja and Hero, but that doesn't change the fact that he is one of the top foreigns zergs out there who is standing his ground in the Premier league of WCS EU.

    (1374) SjoW  0-0  TLO (1607)     
-------------------------------------
      2.50% 4-0       0-4  13.18%

      9.06% 4-2       2-4  20.82%    
     10.92% 4-3       3-4  16.55%    
-------------------------------------
         28.49%        71.51%        

Median outcome: SjoW 2-4 TLO

You dont need a girlfriend to be on the team. We accept who every you chose to love and or wishing to love.

But if you do get a Significant other, make sure to love them on or off the team.

TLO and Nony! Come on!! Be interesting to see how Sjow does with his limited time as protoss. I hope we see some nice Macro games and not just 2 base all-ins from Sjow.

Also very interested in watching Nony play, haven't seen him play in a loooooooooong time.

Just saw a notice on login screen: there's scheduled b.net maintenance going on until approximately 11am PST. Hopefully it ends early and there won't be any problems with the start times in the morning.

Sjow is horrible vs Z as Toss. He doesn't really know any two base all-ins, and if TLO goes mutas to harass and basetrade, he can't handle the multitasking.

Ah so waking up to Blizzard maintenance issues is... ridiculous. When I went to bed there was no notification, I'm trying to contact all the players about postponing until the 12th (same times and everything) because I know TLO is busy on the 11th. Will update with whether we just play this out on EU/KR or hold the games due to latency. Sorry for this guys!

**Important update**

Due to concern about playing with lag for a show match, on either EU or KR, and that this is an event we can be flexible with, we have officially moved/postponed the times to be played 2 days from now. Maintenance was a real problem here, and it's my fault for not predicting me, so I apologize through this post not just to the players who have had their schedules upset by this, but also to the fans who were looking forward to the match

again, 3 show matches, back to back, will still happen, just 2 days from now! :-)

Really hope the rescheduling doesn't affect the viewership! This is a really awesome idea and I wish more little showmatches like this happened in the community and NA scene. <3 NoNy hope he does well. And Sjow hopefully plays P but I think he just does that for fun on ladder now. I'm pretty sure he still plays T for tournaments and what not.

Can you please list the times properly in the OP so they get localised as per your location... as someone who doesn't live in NA/Europe it gets annoying fast having to manually convert them, especially when the website does it for you...
