Ladies and Gentleman,

reps)Defi and Hyeon proudly present you a new show match series. This saturday, 12th May at 16:00 CEST, the first clash will go down.



[image loading]

Image by Gecko[xp]

We all know our first contender very well. None other than the Hungarian monster sas.Sziky is going up against one of Korean finest young talents. Sziky made had his first major appearance back in the third ESL Major Series 2008 where he beat Mondragon. Ever since he grew even stronger, now holds more than ten titles at defiler.ru, won everything there is left and rules the foreign scene with an iron fist.

The other player will be the Korean Terran iOps]..Han. With more than 1500 points in the public FISH Ladder this player must not be underestimated. We all know too well how strong Koreans are. Time to prove we still have worthy contestants!



Details

      Date: Saturday, 12. May @ 16:00 CEST(stream dates/time can be fixed)
      Players: Sziky vs. iOps]..Han (aka. di_neo.g)
      Casters: SuperNovaManiac & sas.Draw
      Maps: All Fighting Spirit
      Location: Fish
      Modus: Best of Seven
      Organizer: Hyeon
      Sponsor: reps)Defi

I wanna keep BW live.
It's always nice to watch top non-koreans playing vs good koreans and also it gives us some more chances to get koreans for foreign scene (i mean involving them in some showmatches and start streaming for foreigners).

WHOA! Awesome ^^ Can't wait to watch Sziky own up some koreans! Hope there's more of these :D


EDIT: You probably should have put Sziky's name in the title so people are more interested

It's great that new events like these are coming up, I always love seeing Sziky play. I do however have a suggestion to make which would improve the impact which this showmatch would make on the community. That is, the cast, no offense to Draw and SNM, but you should use some people more recognized for casting, also there should probably be a Russian cast.

should definitively say in title that it's a show match between sziky and a korean rather than between heyon and defi.

Thank you, already Eywa- sent me a message about this.

Reason why i made title "Defi & Hyeon Showmatch" is because of this.
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=291015
The title is "reps) showmatches" and no one said anything about the titles(is it because of the word 'showmatches'?).

Anyhow, hope the title doesn't mess up this showmatch, so please let it go.
Thank you.

I contacted Sayle, Hacklebeast and said they are all busy.
We already talked about russian casters and Defi said he's going to ask Pro7ect to cast replays in russian.

Thanks anyway.

Thank you.

It is just that alot of people will think (well I did at least :p ) that it is a match of you vs Defi. Not that it matters to much, but you might get more viewers if you rephrase the title.

Anyway this is an awesome initiative, thank you very much for giving us viewers another cast to look out for ! GLGL Sziky!

It seems this title makes you confused. Sorry about that.
I've been looking for "title edit" option here but can't find it.

2 excellent players playing for the prize of gloating rights. I love seeing stuff like this. Best of luck to the two of you! Love even more that its some pro ZvT/TvZ we get to see.

Thank you for this! For some reason im more psyched about this than I am for the upcomming PL-season. It is just so damn nice to se a foreigner that is really up there amongst the top korean amateurs. GOGO SZIKY!
Bisu[about JD]=I was scared (laughs). The force emanating from his facial expression was so manly that I was even a little jealous.

I understand the choice to let Draw cast since he's very knowledgable and very good. But what could SNM bring to the cast? Will he be translating what the korean casters say or something?
