During Montreal, PengWin got into an argument saying matches played from the Korean server to US West are entirely invalid because
Even I could beat someone like MajOr when they were playing from Korea.


I challenged PengWin saying he wouldn't even be able to take 5 games off of MajOr in a Bo39. He happily accepted the challenge, believing strongly in the power of cross server lag. MajOr heard about this and thought there was no way in hell PengWin would take that many games off of him in a Bo39, much less a Bo69.

Do cross server games hold any value or can PengWin prove his point that even he can knock out a top level player like MajOr when he plays cross server? Whose ego will be battered and bruised? Find out on the grudgematch!

Prizepool
Starting prize pool is $100. You can raise it if you decide to contribute! You can also add $1 by using the code specialpengwin.
https://matcherino.com/tournaments/8047/description


Format

Here are the rules.
  • PengWin has to win 5 games before MajOr wins 20.
  • Games will be played on US West while MajOr is in Korea and PengWin is on the East coast of the USA
  • 80% of the prize pool goes to the winner, but most important so does all of the ego and right in the argument.
  • Map pool will be the current ladder map pool and the SSL/GSL map pool.

Beautiful. Not sure if this will be the most boring or most exciting event in history but it's gonna be interesting nonetheless

Pengwin is 1100 rating vs Special's 2300. Special outclasses Pengwin. It should be like a low-mid GM vs Neeb sorta stomp, but according to Pengwin, cross server lag means that massive difference won't matter

Major will win easily, I don't even think I could win 20% be major. USW ping from KR is usually only like 120ish, maybe 150 max. 150 is annoying but it doesn't destroy your play.

Major is gonna win 20-0 if he dont play around. This is like a 1.5k mmr difference between these 2 players.

It would probably be fairer if you make it PengWin have to win 1 game before MajOr wins 100.

PengWin might be able to take a game with some really hilarious cheese though, you never really know. Although statistically he's gonna get thrashed.

I'm not sure if I wanna cheer you on, or watch the most vicious 20-0 in SC history.

ZvT on Arch of Janus is probably Pengwin's best chance. Though I don't it would say much about the effect of cross-server ping.

Its literally Bo25, not Bo39.
I live in Russia. I wear the fufaika, valenoks and the shapka-ushanka with the red star. I drink vodka straight from the samovar, and my riding bear plays on the balalaika.
