TEH POLL: + Show Spoiler + Poll: Who wins ?Strelok (154) 51% GoOdy (150) 49% 304 total votes Your vote: Who wins ? (Vote): Strelok (Vote): GoOdy
Hey folks!
it's me again today with even another showmatch of the "SHOWMATCHPALOOZA Showatch Series" (awesome name, right?!). This one though is going to be quite a special one and only suits those who are are tougher than tough, super resilient and have a lot of time! Bring a beer and some snacks ... well bring a barrel and a 7 course menu.
it is going to be a Bo11 TvT bewteen GoOdy and Strelok for a 150$ cash prize!
Now you might be (even rightfully) asking "omg Goody, wtf TvT, OMGWTF Bo11? Are you insane?" The answer is: 'I am special' hehe. The idea of doing this is actually not my own but from one of my viewers. So about two weeks, I was streaming a weekly cup or some other showmatch I was thinking out loud what other - not so standart - events I could do. One troll then said something like " Haha, why don't you just let GoOdy play a Bo11 TvT ...". And thought "Sure, why not." 
Other people do 24 hour streams. I just let GoOdy play a Bo11 TvT.
Why Strelok? So the first player that came to my mind was Strelok, since I always wanted to make some showmatches with or invited him to my own tournament series but unfortunately we were never able to get something worked out. Last week when the DIMAGA vs HasuObs showmatch was supposed to start and Dimaga was not showing Strelok called Dimaga (both are from the Ukraine) and even offered himself to play, but both HasuObs and me decided it's best to replace a Zerg with another Zerg player. I was not able to get in contact with Strelok right away and needed to go on with the planning for the event, so I asked other terrans and some of the responses I got were seomthing like: " FUCK NO " , "WTF U CRAZY?" etc. pp. So I even do appreciate it even more that Strelok is man enough for this stamina demanding task!
So here are the facts:
Prize Money: 150$ (100$ 1st, 50$ participation prize).+ Show Spoiler +If someone wants to donate a little to the prize pool, I would not mind at all. People were donating about 45$ to "the cause" I will come up with the rest of the money, but since you can't make a lot of money with streaming. I would appreciate a little help (Spoiler free) VODs:+ Show Spoiler + Bo11 Game 1, Game 2 , Game 3, Game 4, Game 5, Game 6, Game 7, Game 8, Game 9, Game 10, Game 11 Format: Bo11

WTF U CRAZY? Can't wait to see it though ^^ GL to both players!
|
Amazing. I will buy a ton of popcorn and beer.
|
fuck yea! will be at GFs on friday, definately gonna watch the vods tho gotta improve TvT
|
I can't believe Strelok agreed to do this lol I remember that he raged about playing Goody on numerous occasions and now he plays a bo11, just insane :D
Already made up your mind about the maps? bo11 tvt could definitely allow 1-2 new maps, like the ones ESV uses in their Korean Weekly (+cough+ Katrina, Ithaca +cough+) :D
|
You should have a prize for viewers that stick it out and watch the whole match, start-to-finish. They definite deserve a medal.
|
Turtle mode on!

time to order a keg for this marathon

Really interested in seeing longer series. Bo3s and Bo1s tell you almost nothing about player skill.
|
Bo11 with goodie involved? This may take longer than the sheth/destiny stream-athon :D
All jokes aside this is awesome ^^
|
ROFL, BO11 could take hours, though if i were Strelok i'd cheese a bit to speeden things up a bit. Though i guess Goody is pretty good at holding cheeses, because i can imagine everyone does that on the ladder to him.
|
|
Bo11 against GoOdy... you sure Strelok is good to play for three days straight?
|
Last games i saw Strelok vs Goody went pretty good for Strelok, and weren´t even THAT long. Who knows, perhaps its over with a 6:2 or something like that, and goes under 5 hours overall oO.
Could also be that both are in great form and we get 11 Mech-turtle-TvTs á 50 minutes and Endrey needs 2 or 3 days 
|
Oh my god....
This is seriously just asking for trouble LOL. unbelievable.
|
Oooh nice, always love your showmatches. This one is really special though, hope you have the stamina aswell ;p
|
Holy crap. Bo11? I bet there will be some really fun openers used. Are you allowing race changes mid series?
|
Goody does 5 rax reaper every game, ez pz
