About[edit]

Showmatches[edit]
Two Archon Mode showmatches are programmed after all quarterfinals are played.

The Legends Showmatch features some of the greatest players in StarCraft and StarCraft II history: NesTea & YellOw teaming up to face Mvp & BoxeR in both a reprisal of Lim Jin Rok, the most storied Brood War rivalry, and a matchup of two Incredible Miracle teammates who were the most successful players from Wings of Liberty.[4]
