This should be an interesting match-up, but it really doesn't matter much who wins to be honest.

It's actually kind of silly and more of a pissing match when two really good players battle it out heads-up. The same energy focused at a game with fishier players is liable to have greater rewards with less risks.

Almost anyone is capable of beating another player on any given day.

Is Patrik doing it to get more publicity for himself or just for the sake of going up against Doyle?
