TEH POLL: + Show Spoiler +
Hey folks!
it's me again today with even another showmatch of the "SHOWMATCHPALOOZA Showatch Series" (awesome name, right?!). This one though is going to be quite a special one and only suits those who are are tougher than tough, super resilient and have a lot of time! Bring a beer and some snacks ... well bring a barrel and a 7 course menu.
it is going to be a Bo11 TvT bewteen GoOdy and Strelok for a 150$ cash prize!
Now you might be (even rightfully) asking "omg Goody, wtf TvT, OMGWTF Bo11? Are you insane?" The answer is: 'I am special' hehe. The idea of doing this is actually not my own but from one of my viewers. So about two weeks, I was streaming a weekly cup or some other showmatch I was thinking out loud what other - not so standart - events I could do. One troll then said something like " Haha, why don't you just let GoOdy play a Bo11 TvT ...". And thought "Sure, why not."
Other people do 24 hour streams. I just let GoOdy play a Bo11 TvT.
Why Strelok?
So the first player that came to my mind was Strelok, since I always wanted to make some showmatches with or invited him to my own tournament series but unfortunately we were never able to get something worked out. Last week when the DIMAGA vs HasuObs showmatch was supposed to start and Dimaga was not showing Strelok called Dimaga (both are from the Ukraine) and even offered himself to play, but both HasuObs and me decided it's best to replace a Zerg with another Zerg player. I was not able to get in contact with Strelok right away and needed to go on with the planning for the event, so I asked other terrans and some of the responses I got were seomthing like: " FUCK NO " , "WTF U CRAZY?" etc. pp. So I even do appreciate it even more that Strelok is man enough for this stamina demanding task!
So here are the facts:
Prize Money: 150$ (100$ 1st, 50$ participation prize).+ Show Spoiler +
If someone wants to donate a little to the prize pool, I would not mind at all. People were donating about 45$ to "the cause" I will come up with the rest of the money, but since you can't make a lot of money with streaming. I would appreciate a little help
