The time has come for our thirty-sixth 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.

I think ByuN should lose this, he is facing against HyuN's good MU, and ByuN hasn't been the most dominant Terran recently. Also, this is the Tyler Durden Zerg's playground, so he has the momentum and comfortability advantage.

HyuN 5-3 ByuN

Remove the Y's out of both their names and you get "Hun Bun".

This is a great contender for best match purely in terms of names of opponents.

I'm not a fan of Byun, but I hope someone can finally dethrone Hyun.

Byun 5-1. I believe. I like hyun, but byun has been my favorite terran ever since the first season of Code A in 2011.

So pumped for this, Hyun is guna win 5-2

I'm surprised IPL picked a terran for this considering how close Hyun's code A match is.

Will he be trying a different playstyle so that Yoda doesn't get too much film on him?

Byunjwa 5-0 because he's that good.

Realistically though I do slightly favour hyun just because byun's an amazing TvZ player but the issue is byun is really late game oriented past his funky early game builds, that's the direct opposite of hyun who screams "FUCK HIVE TECH I GOT BANELINGS" and byun's ability to defend the big mid game timings has been somewhat of a weak spot for the byunjwa. He'll still win 5-0 because he's god.
