Hi Everyone, I'm pleased to announce another show match I am going to be putting on!

The $400 has been kindly sponsored by Plantronics Gaming - check them out on twitter + Facebook




If you would like to contribute, look below for how you can help make more events like this possible!

When? (all games are live)

Monday, Jul 21 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)

TLO (Z) v Grubby (P)

TLO, a long standing member of Team Liquid is a well established and successful European Zerg! At 39th in the WCS Global Standings TLo is a solid player With consistent results in events such as the Seat Story Cup, TLO will be ready to smash in the BO9!

Grubby, a Dutch Protoss player who is self represented has long been a hero of European eSports. A former WC3 pro player, Grubby has a huge following. Currently 63rd in the WCS rankings for 2014, Grubby was able to get to the RO16 in S2 of WCS EU!

What the stats say:

The main English stream will be

gb Madals


VODS: will be uploaded immediately after the showmatch to Youtube

There is $400 on the line. All 9 games will be played, each player will get $87.5 for taking part, then another $25 per win they get!

The $400 has been kindly sponsored by Plantronics Gaming - check them out on twitter + Facebook



If you would like to help more events like this happen though, please consider if you could....

[image loading]

There are 3 ways you can contribute that will allow me to put on more events in the future. As this is a new venture, please be assured that 100% of revenue is currently going into the prize pool for more events. I am not "paying" myself with these events.

So how can you help and contribute?
  1. Subscribe to my twitch channel. It is $5/month but means I have some consistent money to put on this sort of event / show match. More subs = more content.
  2. Consider donating! Not as fantastic as subs, as it isn't monthly and therefore I cannot plan around it but still is hugely helpful. You can donate any amount you want here: Click here to donate via Pay Pal
  3. Turn off Adblock when watching streams you enjoy. This one is simple, it is free and gives the broadcaster a SMALL amount of revenue per ad.

Good luck to both. Would love a close game and either player to take the last map.

Fence sitting? Me? Never!

I fear TLO would be in better shape, but hoping Grubby often finds a way to surprise!

Glad I should be getting home right around the start time.

Don't forget - all 9 games are played regardless as they get money per win, not map score! Map score still matters though as the winner will be with the winners of all my other showmatches which may matter in the future

I'm surprised that these stats are in Grubby's favour.
Hasn't TLO exceeded all expectations recently when he made a Ro32 or something?

Anyway, should be good, go Grubbster!

This is a good idea, although logistically when I am running 3+ showmatches per month it can become a nightmare tracking payments to who etc!

The best thing to do is to sub / donate to the channel - that allows me to put on more content as a whole. So while it may not go to a specific player - it goes to players as a whole and means more content

Man time just doesn't go by when you wait for something. I really want to see this now!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Does anyone know the mappool that's gonna be used for this? I wonder if Madals chose to use 'old' maps like Frost and Habitation Station, or if we're gonna get some funky fresh new maps. The latter would suit the way the bo.9 is set-up I feel (prize per map-win and all).
