The time has come for our forty-fourth 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.

IPL Fight Club

When: Sunday, Jan 08 12:00am GMT (GMT+00:00) (we will also broadcast the match repeatedly afterwards!)

Western Wolves Sting has surprised everyone repeatedly in the past month. No one would have called him to win IEM Signapore and he was a hopeless underdog against FXO.Leenock; however, he took down Leenock 5-4 in Fight Club and is the current champion. Can he walk the tightrope again to win 5-4 against Creator?

Creator.Prime is a multiple champion, but often is overlooked when considering the best Protoss in the world. He's one of the top 5 Protoss in the world, truly fearsome with his gateway play.

Finally giving second chances? I guess a lot of players decline the offer.

Creator 5-3 Sting

But who knows, Sting always has a trick up his sleeve, and he always has the tightrope curse on him.

Creator is awesome, but for some reason I think Sting can pull this off 5-4.

We made all players eligible for 2013. New season of Fight Club has arrived! We'll refresh the player pool every year from now on.

This still feels kind of... wrong without Hyun.

Creator 5-3.

I really like IPL fight club. I like the best of 9 format, gives players a chance to pull out the mind games and dust off/try out some unexpected builds.

Will HyuN be eligible again later this year since he lost the first series of FC season 2 or will he have to wait until 2014 to see him again? D:

Also 5-4 will be the final score in either player's favor because Tightrope Terran.

Isn't this the first series of 2013?

No. Leenock beat HyuN and Sting beat Leenock... This is the third...

edit - They called it season 2 of Fight Club when HyuN vs. Leenock was on... Now I'm confused... ~.~
