Polt
Polt took down one of the best Wings of Liberty players, Creator.Prime last week, and he's back to take all of HyuN's Fight Club glory. HyuN had an outstanding run last year, but Polt advanced further at IPL 5 and has proved his mettle over and over in live events. On top of that, he lives in Austin! The hometown hero doesn't have to travel at all - he's studying English at UT Austin - while HyuN will be fresh in from Korea. Note: this may be the only match-up in which IPL staff are not biased towards HyuN. We're great friends with Polt and I know I'm rooting for a 6-5, all-the way, nail-biter in favor of ... damn, I just can't decide who to root for!

VS.

Quantic.HyuN
HyuN performed so well in Fight Club, we renamed it HyuN Club. The kid went 14-1 against some of the best players in the world - PartinG, Squirtle, GuMiho, Life etc. - and only lost to Leenock fresh off of a win from IPL 5 and the MLG Fall Championship. However, SXSW won't be played in HyuN's bedroom, and he'll be jet-lagged, playing on new maps, and hoping to live up to everyone's expectations. Can the HyuN reclaim his title and become the Ultimate Fight Club Champion?
