>> STREAM IS HERE!!! <<

compLexity Gaming is proud to announce WEEK 11 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 11:

Who: + Show Spoiler +

Chad "Root.Minigun" Jones - Protoss
[image loading]

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

When: Friday, April 8th, 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's viewer giveaway is a sick, sick graphics card (GeForce GTX 560 Ti Fermi 1GB 256-bit) from compLexity Gaming's sponsor PNY! ($260 value!)

So come join us for the eleventh ever edition of "The V" and see if Minigun from Root Gaming can topple the four-time champion (defeating PainUser 4-1, SjoW 4-1, LzGaMeR 4-1, and StrifeCro 4-0), compLexity CrunCher!

That is a great matchup, two of the most promising up and coming NA players.

Cruncher's been on a roll in this series, but I think Minigun's got this.

Nice, I don't particularly like PvP (or any matches involving P at all :p), but I'll try and watch, since Cruncher being in NASL over Minigun was one of the biggest topics in the NASL thread.

PvP really? Come on guys, I bet you like 70% of your audience hates this matchup. I mean I love both players quite a lot, but aren't interested in watching a PvP whatsoever.

The fact is, CrunCher has shown us that he's pretty damn solid against both Terran (PainUser, SjoW, LzGaMeR three weeks in a row) and Zerg (IdrA in TSL3 and StrifeCro in the Week 10), and part of the game is facing other players with the same set of units. I for one am VERY curious to see how well CrunCher handles a Protoss opponent like Minigun who practices constantly with KiWiKaKi, DdoRo, and other top players.

I'd prefer it if everyone watched! Mirror matches are just as much a part of the game as the other matchups, good players can win all 3. =)

PvP, crunchers worst match up. Probably most P's worst match up. Gotta support cruncher though.

Honestly, I like these guys about the same so I can't choose a winner right now

Cruncher has been super impressive though, winning against everyone!

I don't know much about Cruncher's PvP but Mini's has gotten pretty solid lately. that in addition to my fanboyism for Minigun makes me think it'll go in his favor. 4-3 though cause it's PvP
