Showmatch If you have ever wondered what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, then this is the event you want to watch. Hydra has proven over the last few months that he is no joke, coming out swinging at every event he has been in. But Kas, historically, is a super-solid Terran who practices mainly on the ladder. This form of practice prepares him for anything his opponents can throw at him. The longer the game goes, the more of Hydra's life that ticks away. Polygon Gaming is super excited to present what is sure to be a world-shattering event.

Kas is one of the longest standing veterans of the scene. Just the fact that the survived the test of time is a testament to his skill. I think it will be closer than some think. Either way excited to see him compete.
With Hydra ranking in @ 12 and Kas @ 129 World according to Aliguilac this show match is reminiscent of the late Muhammad Ali's fight against George Foreman. Foreman was the heavy favorite, dispatching of his last opponents with ease. Ali was on his way out or so the analysts said. Many feared for his health. The veteran Ali stuck to the ropes for 7 rounds, absorbing punch after punch, taking in his opponents weaknesses. Finally, in the last moments of the 8th round Ali lands a combination which is so fast it's hards to see and demands a few rewinds to fully enjoy. 51:45
