**If Admins could change the title from Avilo to [IS]Binksi and to a showmatch I would be grateful(on the TL calendar as well), as Avilo has been replaced**



Are you prepared for what is quite possibly the biggest SC2 Event to happen within 12 hours of the WCS GSL CODE S KAPPA KOREA MANGO SIX SEASON ONE FINALS?



Of course not, here's some info:



****Major Edit: Avilo did not realize he had scheduled the match when he had previously committed to a LAN, and has been replaced with Infinity Seven Binski****



Time: Saturday June 1st 2013 - 1200EST - 900PST - 1800CEST - 100KST

Place:

Who: Insidious' Bonk vs Avilo Infinity Seven Binski!

What: Bo9 Showmatch

Why: For 100$ and endless NA bragging rights





Alright, now you're primed up, time to introduce your heroes, competing in a showmatch that will be remembered for days, if not weeks!



Hailing from Pennsylvania, a man with more determination than Innovation's TvZ, a man who knows his way around pylons placed more suspiciously than the motives of Team Eclypsia, a man who likes his women like he likes his build orders: tight entertaining and little bit less than standard, I give you...From Team Insidious...



-----------------------------------BONK-----------------------------------









Another beautiful American hero putting his hand into the ring, a Terran who has ventured where no Terran has gone before, the late...late game. Not to be constricted to a single style or strategy though, AVILO, like the bald eagle, will not hesitate to let things fly. Whether it be proxy buildings, nuclear and/or seeker missiles, you can count on Avilo to have another trick up his headband.



Unfortunately Avilo did not realize until after he scheduled the match with the match sponsor(who is providing the prize pool of the match) that he was previously committed to attending the DC LAN. As the match time was already set and agreed upon, I am proud to introduce the new challenger, hailing from Team Infinity Seven:



----------------------------------------------BINSKI------------------------------------------

I know of them and have played them but why are you calling it a grudgematch other than the fact that Bonk is Protoss. Always seemed like a manner guy to me.

It's a grudematch because both are mid-high NA GMs who meet on the ladder occasionally, nothing but friendly competition between them so far as I know. Until Saturday.



And as every high master-GM knows, players start to have histories together after hitting each other on the ladder several times(especially when they both stream), and this will be their opportunity to fight it out for both bragging rights, and cold electronic cash to back it up.

edit: This is happening at noon or midnight on Saturday? there's a DC LAN going on June 1st, I want to make sure I don't conflict with this and avilo can still make the LAN...hopefully he can play these matches from the LAN center or something if it's at noon.

This just seems more like a showmatch from what I've seen in the thread? Well either way good luck to both players :p This isn't a real grudge match unless there is something more than $100 on the line. I wish the BW grudge matches would come backThis just seems more like a showmatch from what I've seen in the thread? Well either way good luck to both players :p Anime is cuter than you.

I want Bonk to win because he has a cooler name. "How are you?" "I am fine, because it is not normal to scream in pain."
