The time has come for our forty-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.

IPL Fight Club

When: Tuesday, Jan 15 12:00am GMT (GMT+00:00) (we will also broadcast the match repeatedly afterwards!)

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.

Creator.Prime

Liquid.Zenio has gradually slipped out of relevance. Now, he's dropped out of Code A, and the only glory left to him is as a solid opener in team leagues; however, we still have faith in him. It takes real cojones to stick in the GSL 14 seasons in a row. Zenio still has a lot of excellent play left to show, and hopefully he'll take the surprise win here.

Mmh, I really like Zenio but I think Creator is out of his league. Hopefully he can put up a good fight, his games usually are quite fun to see.

I'd say Creator beats Zenio 99% of the time.

I love me some Zenio, I hope he does well but safe money is on creator. Ah well, hopefully there will be some scrappy late game craziness to entertain us all.

I truly doubt Zenio can even go beyond one game here, Creator is on a different level compared to him really.

Creator 5-1 Zenio

Zenio is screwed. Then again, Sting was able to upset Leenock in a Bo9 here no less, so Zenio winning isn't an impossibility. 6 pool to victory

But Sting had won a somewhat difficult tournament right before he beat Leenock..

Zenio's recent ZvP accomplishments are beating HasuObs and HotS pro White-Ra and closely edging out Titan while losing to ROX.KIS.Pomi and in a Proleague BO1 to free.

I'm not convinced.

BO1 or BO3, maybe. BO9? Uh-uh.

They're setting creator up for a massive bounty for hyun to make his grand return to claim because IPL has not given quite enough money to hyun yet.

They've already got Maka, Check and HongUn lined up for the following weeks.

I mentioned this in one of your other threads already as well, but all your time entries are still in 2012, which is why it says Sunday January 15th instead of Tuesday January 15th (in CET timezone). Please update your templates to 2013.

Thats the plan, have HyuN get a personal sponsorship with IGN by having him defeat Creator's 13 game streak. Then he continues a second reign of terror that goes on to infinity.
