The new 90-minute special was aired this past Saturday. I watched it. It follows the manga pretty closely to the end of the Hokuto Cup selection tournament.
The episode 64 variant--originally this episode was made before the series started, for Jump Festa, like the Naruto special. Then Hotta Yumi used the story for her Sai sidestory in volume 18. And then they remade it slightly into episode 64 of the anime.
