PiGFEST 7.0 IS BACK!
No Starcraft at EWC? No problem. PiGFest is back to bring some scintillating games like always. Every iteration so far has brought amazing SC2 to the community and supported players in a time when Blizzard has abandoned its games and fans.

Well it's got Maru and Serral (and herO and Clem and Reynor) so it looks like I'll be tuning in.
We can finally decide who the GOAT is once and for all!

Congratulations to Percival for securing his spot in PiGFest 7.0! The other spot from today's qualifier will be a 4-way tie between Nicoract, Creator, lemon and YoungYakov which will be determined at a later time.
The final 2 spots will be determined in tomorrow's qualifier.

The prize pool slowly getting bigger too

Hypothetically, If MaxPax showed himself on webcam in a balaclava, would he have been allowed to play?

Introducing the showmatches for PiGFest 7.0!
What is a (pig sty) festival without some fun carnival sideshows?
First up we will have MaNa who will be doing a Twitch Plays showmatch. If you've never heard of it, it is exactly as it sounds - our Twitch audience will tell MaNa what to do on ladder! This is your chance to backseat with your Twitch GM knowledge.
Then we will have the StarCraft 2 GOAT himself, Serral, doing a Holdout Challenge. Noobs (aka volunteers) will have to 1v1 him and see how long they can stay in the game for. To thank Patrons for their continued support, everyone on the $500 Leviathan and $100 D-Town Tiers will be able to play, plus one person in the $25 Bacon Tier. All other participants will be chosen at random on the day.

Another Maru vs SHIN beatdown
|
Good first day. Looking forward to tuning in this weekend.
|
Shin actually played both games very close but Maru just knew how to navigate that late game TvZ well. And with how Maru answered in his interview, basically anyone but Protoss, it would be fun to see him switch to PvP at some point, lol.
