The time has come for our thirty-fifth IGN Pro League Fight Club! This is a weekly king of the hill showmatch series. Basically, there will be a 1 vs. 1 best of 9 showmatch each and every week, where the winner will earn a $500 prize and a $100 bounty on their head. For example, if a player wins three weeks in a row they will have earned $1,500 and a $300 bounty. If a NEW challenger defeats him, they will earn $500 for the showmatch, take the $300 bounty home, and have a new $100 bounty placed on their head for each week that they win.

Oh wow, I thought this hadn't been going on. Turns out Hyun was just winning all of them since I last checked.

Still with how strong Hyun is in FC and all his momentum I have a hard time believing he won't take this handily.

Sorry I really don't think GuMiho will be easy money. While I do agree some of his previous matchups (aka the foreigners) were mismatched, GuMiho can definitely beat HyuN on any given day if he brings his A game.

I AM SO PUMPED FOR THIS MATCH.

Hyun is on fire, and gumiho on his day is better than anyone in the world. I want Hyun to win but I really just want an epic series going all 9 games.

I agree that in some FC's Hyun has been mismatched but don't make light of his winning streak.

He has beaten Squirtle, Alive, Grubby and Crank, all of which are fantastic players.

Thank you IPL for providing such an epic matchup

HYUN FIGHTING!!!!!

I always love IPL FC and this will be one of the best yet! I'm sort of rooting for Gumiho although Hyun extending his win streak would be awesome too.

Meh.Still think Hyun can take this although it will be tougher.

But it is Bo9s and Hyun is so freaking good in long series.

Squirtle, Alive, Crank and grubby are all pretty good.

Gumiho is probably toughest after squirtle though

Oh yay, Gumiho, should be in for some ridiculously long games =D. I don't know who to root for though, hopefully this will be a close series but I can see either player making it 1 sided if they're having an off day.
