banner from fomos.krMBCGame are hosting a series of show matches with a twist. Each match will be a seven game series using a 'Skins' prize system.Source: An article from fomos.kr. Watchable on the YaoYuan stream.
Format The term 'skins' comes from golf, for a tournament where the prize money based on winning individual holes. Win the hole/game, win the 'skin'. For this tournament, winning the first game will net the progamer 100,000 KRW (~100 USD), while the next game is worth 200,000 KRW (~200 USD) and so forth. There will also be bonuses for streaks, like winning 2 games in a row will net a 200,000 KRW (~200 USD) bonus, etc. Thus, with a perfect score on the day, a player could end up with a total prize of more than 5,000,000 KRW (~5000 USD).

dang, flash is gonna make a lot of money from this event ^^

Hwasin against Stork, Bisu vs Anytime. Those could be quite good, particularly if Hwasin/Anytime deliver.
I don't like Savior's chances though : '(
|
Can you watch these, perchance, on TVants streams from Yaoyuan? Don't they have straight MBC streams?
|
sort of reminiscent of the KT-KTF leagues i honestly miss them. imo they were the best competitions that showed off who really was the best at the time
|
since there's a prize for a 7-game win streak, they're playing all seven games? I'm not sure how much I am looking forward to 7 games of tvt mastery by 910 and go.go DDD:
savior and sea however <3
|
that is so cool! wish savior is out of slump rite now
|
3/11 Tue : (T)910 vs (T)go.go Shit I am looking forward to this match

given anytime and bisu's recent performance it is far more likely it is bisu who will have to step his game up

Omg. Is nO.1 commentating or playing? He used to be my favourite terran progamer back in 2002 (because, unlike the other T's he couldn't beat Zerg at all, which means Yellow got a few wins, and he could destroy any Terran, which means Boxer lost a few games). I remember some epic TvTs with him playing.
This is going to be so awesom, and Flash is going to make such a killing.
