We are happy to announce a showmatch between Ziktomini and Vera Lynn. This match will be ZvZ, one of the mirror-matchups we all seem to worry about (and another head-butt between the English and the Irish!). It will all come down to timings, micro and last but not least, skill, for both of these players to win this showmatch.

About Ziktomini:
Ziktomini is a British Zerg player that hasn’t been out there for long. We know him best for his winnings at DreamHack Open: Summer where he made it to the Ro32 stage where he beat well-known players like Stephano and Bly. He also won the WCS United Kingdom Finals where he beat DeMuslim with 2-1. He is part of the team, Western Wolves.
About Vera:
Vera is an Irish Zerg player on both NA and EU. She has been Grandmaster on NA since since season 7, placing 48th at close of season. As of this season she is one of the few female players who is GM on EU being consistently in the top 100. Vera is quite an unknown player, currently teamless, who is trying to turn pro and compete in more tournaments. Aside from high-level StarCraft II-play, she regularly gives free coaching on her stream to viewers and casts a number of tournaments.

| Not enough ZvZ showmatches, should be interesting GL to both! Glad Zikto is getting his names out there more after his WCS win, always does well in the EU dailies. |

| Ziktomini will win in a fairly one-sided way I think |

| This is going to be a really close match both are strong players but it is ZvZ. I have the feeling that Ziktomini will pull out ahead with a 5-3 win. Best of luck to both players~! I can't wait to watch this :D |

| Hard to predict when I haven't ever seen Vera play before, but it's always exciting when new names try to rise so I'll make sure to watch this! And since I lived in Ireland for a while, I'm gonna have to cheer for her. It's rare to get the chance to cheer for Ireland in SC2 |

| It's pretty hard to pick a winner Ziktomini just won WCS but I've seen him getting owned by Vera a few times should be fun to watch. |

Two GM level players in a coin-flip match-up...
... gonna be 5-4 or 5-3 one way or another, me thinks. The skill of the players involved is pretty close.Last edit: 2012-08-08 22:43:19 |

Very nice selection of players.
I love it when show matches help lesser known players receive some recognition  |

| Technically this is also the top Irish (that I know of) versus the top British (WCS) player showmatch. |
