3rd Superfight: Tossgirl gets to pick her opponent. Her opponents are allowed to decline. If all 5 of her selected opponents decline, she automatically gets the winning money.
3rd Superfight main event will be: 2006 Shinhan Season 2 OSL Champion vs Pringles Season 2 MSL Champion
That's great news! In some other thread I don't remember who TL-er came with the idea of clashing two champions. Well, sometimes dreams come true! Looking forward for great games.
yeah OSL vs MSL champ is awesome, i guess OGN/MBCGame wouldn't want to set something like that up because if their champ loses there's bound to be this sentiment their network is inferior (even if it makes no sense), bravo for CJ.
looking forward to nada vs reach and tossgirl's event too, not so much sea vs canata (TvT)

Saviors vs Savior bwahahahahahaha :p
That would be too funny if such a thing ever happened. "Err sorry guys better get last years guy or something cause It's hard even for me to play myself."
Nice! My favorite T vs my favorite P Hope Reach shows he's the man PvT. Sadly he's facing NaDa who is in great shape, and a TvP monster. I just hope it wont be a 3-0 rape. 5 games FTW!
Sea vs Canata ? MEH
OSL vs MSL winner might be fun if Savior doesnt win MSL. Otherwise I predict rape
Ahh Sea vs Canata?? This might be okay, but chances are each game will be like 1 hour long and a really boring turtlefest -_-;;
reach vs nada will be good, do these two have any history together? I think id rather see reach vs nal_ra cause they made for a great semifinal in osl a few years back.

Is it supposed to be Shinhan OSL Season 3? Shinhan 2 Champ was Casy, wasn't it?
Shinhan OSL opened 3time, you know. but Ongamenet are calling first Shinhan OSL officially Shinhan 2005, and 2nd and 3rd Shinhan 2006 (season 1, 2). so Shinhan3 that you mean could call 'Shinhan 2006 OSL season2'.
Savior must die to the OSL champ. CJ believes in their chances at the MSL title so they want to totally shit on the OSL champ this showmatch to boost their team... LOL I love CJ. EVIL... EVIL!!!

rofl yea that's what im thinking.
and that poster i nearly thought nada was saviorr=. = nada doesnt have curly hair wtf lol
omg
CJ is awesome.
too bad they're near the bottom of the proleague now wtf? haha.
oh well sSAVIOR FIGHTING!
im hoping for a OSL winner -> nada MSL winner -> savior matchup ^_^
omg Sea[Shield] vs Canata!!!!!! Did you see the last time they met at Shin Peak of BaekDu?? That was an insane game!!! Insanely close till the very end. And with NUKES!!!!! I wonder who will come out as a winner this time.
Tossgirl vs. Zergman. Except Tossgirl doesn't actually play toss, that traitor. T_T
These new superfights look very exciting though. It seems a little bit unfair that CJ just gets to select whoever it wants, but he end product is something good for the community--besides, they're not picking CJ players all the time (ever yet), so they're upholding integrity (as well as ratings, I suppose).

After seeing Tossgirl vs Yellow on the All-Star Proleague, it would be embarassing if she played anyone, but a foreigner. The Yellow game made Tossgirl look so amateurish like JulyZerg destroying In_dove.
Sucks to be in Tossgirl's situation where she is singled out because she is a girl. This SuperFight is like having Mumyung pick someone from SKT Terran lineup.
i love to see savior vs casy, he's the only big name terran that haven't got raped by the maestro but ninja toss vs savior is cool too, need more zvp vods. savior kills p mercilessly, with different strat every game

nah, shes made $ and is lucky to be a girl or she'd never have been recognized. she should pick draco or better yet suncow, that would effing hilarious.
tossgirl isn't that bad of a player, she could most likely compete with top amatures and lower-tier pros, it's just that the top-tier players such as kespa 30, are pretty much.. out of her level
Can't wait for Reach vs Nada event. Normally i don't give a shit about who vs who is playing . If they provide good games thats perfect . But when Reach plays...

Insane as in insanely boring. There is no way I would watch 5 games of that over again.

Superfight was never intended to be a boxer sendoff... Savior vs Boxer was planned long before he announced he would be joining the military, it just so happened that the timing of the event was around the same time he was joining so they threw in boxer/yellow for the ratings and well it looks like it was a success... i remember someone saying that CJ media wanted in on the SC scene (one of their motives behind sponsering GO i suppose) and so logically another superfight would be natural personally i think this superfight will be just as epic as the last.. propblem is reach is kinda slumping.. so a more appropraite match for nada *could* have been done (nada vs kingdom perhaps as kingdom is showing form) but nevertheless, superfight is hopefully here to stay and is a wonderful idea.

This would actually be a really good idea, itd be one way for foriegners to gain some glory, and bring in the next generation of foriegners.. Itd also be good for draco's publicity, especially if he won
Did you know... in 1790, construction on the White House was started
Everyone is acting like it's already a foregone conclusion that "Champion vs Champion" is Savior vs Casy. But isn't Pringles 2 THIS SEASON? Isn't Shinhan 2 THIS SEASON? Casy is already OUT of this season's OSL, meaning he cannot possibly be participating in the Superfight.
I highly doubt Tossgirl will choose a foreigner. I see no reason why she would. The player she has the most history with is definetly Yellow. I don't think she would challenge someone in better form than Yellow anyway and Yellow is without a doubt one of the biggest names in this business (regardless of his current results), so it would be a good opportunity for her. And that recent game against Yellow...ugh...I don't think EITHER player wants to remember that one. Aside from that, Tossgirl actually has a good record against Yellow. -_-
No doubt it would be cool if she picked Draco, but I'm not going to bother keeping my fingers crossed.
i can't think of any other matchup that's more intriguing than casy vs savior. Casy still has the best tvz in the world I think. Don't know why they would have canata vs sea, they're both great players but it's tvt.
Though in the past people (including myself) have called Tornado Terran, but apparently his real nickname is Genius. MSL likes to have nicknames for every player.

YellOw[ArnC] is... Crazy?
I always thought Tornado Terran is named such after NaDa, like how Storm Zerg style is named after YellOw.
Yeah, I think [arnc] is crazy. silver is MVP -.-;; why?
The warcraft superfight is like a last effort to boost the korean warcraft scene. they arent doing too well in a market saturated with starcraft fans T_T.
anyway. it would be interesting to see how this turns out. the world scene is like growing faster and their players are getting better and better while korea stood still. they still have their squad of Uders that can destroy any other nation's lineup but 5 guys is not going to save korea.
it is a shame to see that no other NE stood up after Moon's slump. If Moon wins, he defends the reputation that Korea is still number 1 even tho that fact only is debatable. if he loses then it just proves the inevitable. i dunno, either way will have benefits + consquences. i hope the korea fans appreciates this and see it as some kind of rivalry so ratings will be good. i somehow feel that if moon wins then no one will pay attention to war3 and if moon loses maybe it will get people to put more effort to develope the scene.
Still. Don't matter if moon is in slump or not. It would be retarded to count him out in any match. He is the reason that NE was called imbalanced during the past two years. He was the reason that blizzard patched the game. He was like the single NE player that is ahead of everyone either. he was the player to beat for as long as war3 scene was alive.
Some progamers havre two nicknames. NaDa is one of them. Tornado Terran is both a nickname for NaDa and a nickname for the gaming style he popularized. NaDa is THE Tornado Terran.
It's a little like how Ra has two nicknames: Dreamer and Flower Protoss.
I've never been one to oggle over Tossgirl, and maybe I'm just horny at the moment, but she looks quite hot in that picture.
And I never knew NaDa had any muscle definition. I always thought he had twig arms.

That game from Rush Hour? She wasn't exactly "pwned" by Mondy at all. It was a game where fingers were crossed, and either could have lost any second in the last parts of the game.

I think they could save a foreigner match for another superfight... even though it's a little racist. Haha, drawing a parallel, that would be like some Asians Title or Black People Cup in mainstream sports here.
Really though, there are only two matches announced so far for the third superfight.

Yes and no. Unlike the USA, Korea is pretty much all one ethnicity, BUT, since Draco is a foreigner living in Korea, it could be played off more as a non-native match, so "Europeans in the NBA Game OMG This Title Is So Long" would be a better analogy.
Both Starcraft and Warcraft3 games will be best of five. Winner of showmatch will receive a prize approximately 3000 dollars and winners of both Starcraft and Warcraft3 will receive a prize approximately 10,000 dollars. In the meantime, WEG also announced the match-ups for the third WEG SuperFight. The champion of OnGameNet StarLeague and the champion of MBC StarLeague will give us a thrilling game without doubt. Apart from this, TossGirl will point five players to play with her for the showmatch. If all five players give up playing with her, she will own a prize about 10,000 dollars automatically.
If anyone would be interested in how much money is involved there. Source: http://www.sk-gaming.com/
