![]() In the first round, NaNiwa and Scarlett (who is going by the name TossImba) go up to two and three bases respectively. It was revealed at the end of the matchup that the winner takes 11.2 Bitcoins (~$7300 at a current exchange of $650/BTC) and the loser, 2.8 (~$1800). I am guessing the split is 12-to-2 but they are surprisingly quiet about those details. It is not entirely winner takes all but the loser will get a very little amount of it. NaNiwa and Scarlett are competing for 14 Bitcoins which brings the value up near $9000 USD. The Protoss got picked apart by Viper abductions pulling units one at a time into the Zerg ball.ĭestiny wins round three, the entire matchup, and a whole single Bitcoin. Destiny then moved out with a pile of Roaches, Hydralisks, and Vipers. The Oracle did survive and continued to annoy and distract. He did manage to send his Zealots to Destiny's third base and kill it, however, despite losing most of his army. He moved out onto creep and got wrecked before using his Mothership Core to recall home. On two bases he went down the Stargate path and picked up his Void Ray after one Oracle with sentries composition from the first game. He did not even place his first pylon before aborting that mission and going home. At the other end of the map he noticed Destiny opened with a very early pool. In the ace match between the two players, iNcontroL starts with his first cannon rush. ![]() At the end of the match, iNcontroL helped Destiny's micro by pushing down his natural ramp and almost entirely surrounding his own army in Zerg. The rest of Destiny's control was sufficient enough, however, to push iNcontroL back into his natural base. Destiny, in the middle of the game, noted "some call me the NA version of Life" with his amazing Zergling micromanagement skills. He then lost every one as they were surrounded by iNcontroL's probes. Destiny got an earlier Spawning Pool than iNcontroL expected and was able to enter his main base with four Zerglings. The second game opened with a different type of flare. INcontroL wins round one and plays his victory music. A few more instances of running head-first into brick walls and eventually the Protoss deathball succeeded. Eventually this back and forth worked its way up to BroodLord and Swarm Host versus Tempests and a full Mothership. Both players pushed their unconventional play against one another and get decimated several times. iNcontroL used some great forcefields to trap and wreck the Zerg swarm while, to the surprise of the casters, getting out an Oracle and few Void Rays. The first game between iNcontroL and Destiny begun with a Stargate opening versus a flood of Zerglings. The full article contains summaries of each game. Read on after the teaser break for spoilers as we update throughout the event. The VoDs will be available later at his Youtube. The stream is running now at TotalBiscuit's Twitch account. iNcontroL was a prominent player in the Starcraft: Brood War era while Destiny got popular in the StarCraft 2 Beta through Wings of Liberty. The latter pairing are two very comedic personalities. Also, they just announced an opening act for a single Bitcoin prize: iNcontroL versus Destiny in a best of 3. The headlining act is Scarlett versus NaNiwa in a best of 7 matchup. The English casters are TotalBiscuit and IdrA with several other languages provided including Portuguese and Vietnamese. Currently, after a little issue in China, it is worth about $7000 to $8000 USD. At the time of the announcement, the 12 Bitcoin prize was valued at about $10,000. TotalBiscuit decided to create a StarCraft 2 tournament where they are the prize. So Bitcoins are becoming popular and a legitimate currency. Update: The main series prize pool was increased to 14 BTC in addition to 1 BTC for the intro match.
