Right folks, the German King of the Hill is back.
The last season of our tournament series ended in December 2014 with EnjoYmE defeating Bakuryu in a close series by 3-2. That result was considered an upset if you take Bakuryu's strong results prior into consideration.
So, our current King should be very confident going into the next best of five series, against no other then aLc.Sum
Who?
If your not that oldschool and don't recognize the name right here, let me bring you up to date: Sum, better known as GlC.Sum or Sum[F2F] is as oldschool as you can get. He started playing back on the (in)famous U.S.West Server and was already considered one of the better german Protoss players by the time ICCup became popular. He holds a high rank of A- on said server to give you an impression of his former level of play and played for about six years in the Ger-B Team.
As always, the question is not, how good our "comebacks" once were, but how good they can become within a relatively short training period. Well we had the pleasure to watch a bit over Sum's shoulder. He quickly improved his play training with players like vOddy and played some games on fish.
In short, you can expect the series to be a close one. For our second season, we mixed up the mappool a bit and came up with this:
Two of these maps will be vetoed by the players, the format is a best of five
Here's the rest you want to know in a nutshell:
When: Friday the 5th of June, 20:00 CET, or just look at the calendar
