H'okay so we had this really cool idea for a Queen of the Hill, but the other unnamed ladies we invited totally wussed out. Livibee & QueenE were still willing to have some fun in some sort of duel, so we went with old & classic: a showmatch
What: Bo7 showmatch $150 (100/50) Standard Ladder Map Pool - Starting on Overgrowth (Loser's pick after)
Server priority will go NA NA EU EU NA EU (Loser's pick for #7)
This one's not been labled under Money $peak$ because the money's coming out of pocket. We still plan to broadcast it in high quality, attach production etc, but this one's all about the fun. Since it might get asked, if you want to increase the prize pool for these two please send me a PM here on Team Liquid and we can get something sorted. (Or contact me on twitter @Rif_Kingz)
Well we saw Livibee still play a very good level zerg against good opponents like SeleCT. I have no idea who QueenE is or what level she's at. From Liquipedia I see she was totally owned early in every tournament she entered. I'll definitely tune in anyways !
I'm guessing the other ones invited were Spyte and Maddelisk, maybe Flo? (No point inviting Scarlett, she'd just win constantly.) Anyways too bad about the QotH thing but excited for this anyways (if I have good enough internet at the time to watch it :/ ) :D
Some of you should recognize this name, since he's donated to just about everyone in Sc2 at some point, but Tjockas has increased the prize pool by +$100! Now it's a $250 Bo7 (150/100) :-)
Based on the womens tournaments I participated in, I'd certainly expect Livibee here. (I don't remember if they've faced each other, but QueenE seems to consistently lose to Maddelisk whereas Livibee has beaten Maddelisk--and ZvZ is Maddelisk's best matchup, ZvP her worst).
But on the other hand, QueenE has been trying to go full time recently, so it wouldn't surprise me if she's improved a lot since those tournaments.
How can this be considered an even match-up is beyond me. I think Livibee is far better than QueenE. But this is definitely a match that will have me tuning in because the level will be good without being stellar like we usually see, which could prove interesting.
Hehe, people thinking that QueenE is getting rekt. I think she said on stream today that she has a positive record over Livibee in practice so I'm expecting a good series out of my favourite streamer!
I think it's going to be closer than Aligulac suggests. If QueenE can play defensively and maintain enough economy for stargate production when Livibee inevitably goes into mutas, I think she should take those games. I'm still going with Livibee 4-3 though.
This will be interesting; judging by the military hardcore training Livibee puts herself through with those 24hr streaming sessions, I think she has this; but maybe QueenE can turn things around to her advantage and make it a close match.

(10 minutes 40 seconds incase time stamp link doesn't work) I really enjoyed some of the player reactions we got from players in the past, I was really happy they agreed to do it as well!
But yea, TLDR All yesterday my computer suffered from hardcore BSOD issues and I only actually finished downloading and updating Sc2 like an hour before the event. Nothing I saved worked properly (including the initial cameras / FPS)

working on that right now! Expect them up later tonight
A lot of quick and dirty games ^^ Not the most enjoyable to watch, but good play from QueenE. She obviously prepared, she found a weakness and kept drilling it. Nice job pulling out the upset!
