>> STREAM IS HERE!!! <<


compLexity Gaming is proud to announce WEEK 10 of its biggest initiative in the StarCraft 2 community, The V! The best test of skill in SC2 is of course the 1 v 1, and we're going to showcase it every week with a best of 7 series between two invited players. The winner will receive $100, and the loser will just have to hang his head in shame as he types "gg." Whoever wins The V will be expected to play the very next week at the same time!

Here are the details for Week 10:

Who: + Show Spoiler +
Cong "EG.StrifeCro" Shu - Zerg
[image loading]

Abdulaziz "coL.CrunCher" Abed - Protoss
[image loading]

When: Friday, March 25th, 23:00 GMT (+00:00) (7 p.m. EDT, 4 p.m. PDT, Midnight CET)

Stream:
>> STREAM IS HERE!!! <<

Cast by AskJoshy and potentially a compLexity Staff or Player co-caster. Stream can be seen on the front page of compLexityGaming.com

Format: Best of 7 series, map pool is as follows:
  • Game 1: Shattered Temple
  • Game 2: Backwater Gulch
  • Game 3: Terminus RE
  • Game 4: Metalopolis
  • Game 5: Typhon Peaks
  • Game 6: Xel'Naga Caverns
  • Game 7: Crossfire SE

In the event of a disconnect, the game replay will be reviewed by a player panel to determine if a re-game is necessary. If one player disconnects three times in a single night, he will forfeit the series and the non-disconnecting player will be asked back to the next V.

Prizes: The winner of the best of 7 series will receive $100 via Paypal and be invited to play again the following week. The loser will receive nothing. Every week we have a different giveaway for our viewers, so be sure to tune in for instructions on how to win! This week we are giving out a pro-gaming laser mouse worth $80 from QPadusa.com!

So come join us for the tenth ever edition of "The V" and see if StrifeCro from Evil Geniuses can topple the three-time champion (defeating PainUser 4-1, SjoW 4-1, and LzGaMeR 4-1), compLexity CrunCher! Please feel free to vote in the poll and leave a comment with your series score prediction!

Hmmmmmmm. If StrifeCro can get pass Cruncher's early game aggression than he's guarantee to take the series. His late game ZvP is much better than most Zerg in NA ^_^

Cruncher will win it!!
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

Thats interesting. I wonder if Cruncher and Idra have already played for TSL ro32 cause we know they're commentating from replays.

If not then Idra's gonna get to see Crunchers PvZ across at least 4 games, which is huge!

I also fear for Stifeco cause you know Cruncher's training PvZ HARD for Idra.

It's true we've seen CrunCher in only PvT situations so far on The V, but he's been practicing PvZ for weeks since the TSL 3 selection. Axslav should be a great training partner for StrifeCro, though!

Team LiquidUnderneath it all they were really quite nice. They just got screwed up. Mostly by stuff that wasn't entirely their fault.

another easy 100$ for CrunCher, they gotta start sending out some stronger players.

He was the underdog to both PainUser and SjoW, two very well-established tournament winners. But, the fact that you're saying this makes me think CrunCher is starting to gain some respect around here. =P

Updated the original post with the mouse giveaway, worth $80 so be sure to watch the stream Friday night for your chance to win. =D

I think the matchup has contributed a lot to cruncher's success. We already know he has good pvt, but putting him pvt 3 weeks in a row was probably not the best Idea. I've seen a couple of his pvz games, and if strife plays smart and safe im sure he will win.

With the way I've been seeing infestors shredding Protoss armies since the patch, I think we will really see a great series tomorrow night.

sjow wasn't strong enough?

and I think StrifeCro is a good challenge, being that they're both former wc3 gamers who were good at different times :D

I'll probably start testing the stream around 5 or 5:30 p.m. EDT, playing music and goofing off in custom games if you want to trickle in early.
