FXOpen International KOTH #5 Saturday, Sep 10 3:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
With the announcement of the FXOpen e-Sports $20,000 Live KOTH, the FXOpen KOTH is sure to be one of the most competitive events on the calendar. This competition will see some of the best players across all three servers compete in a king of the hill style format where ladder points and $300 cash is up for grabs for players who accrue the most wins. Keep track of the standings by total wins and ladder points on the FXOpen KOTH Thread or the FXOpen e-Sports Forums.
This event takes place twice each weekend with both the KOTH Korea event on the KR server and KOTH International on the EU server. Each episode features exciting competitive players from GSL stars to underrated team practice heroes. Ladder points accrued for performing also contribute towards eventual offline events with much larger prizepools to be announced later in the year, and strong performances in the KOTH lead of course to potential invites to the $20,000 offline KOTH event.
All invited competitors will play in order against the winner of the previous match. After all competitors have played, the player standing undefeated at the end will recieve $100 (AU$), and the player with the longest win-streak of the night will recieve $200 (AU$). Ladder points for the event will also be awarded as below:

Euro server pretty unplayable from any of the SEA nations.

It's only an estimate based on when players should be online and in the channel ready to play, and is more designed so that players aren't waiting around for a long time rather than a stream schedule.

SarenS and sYz are pretty good too! But that was such a weird game. All of those thors made it so that SarenS couldn't build more scvs to build another cc or supply depot. To be able to get an economy again, he'd have to suicide his thors, but if he suicided his thors, he'd have let sYz's mutalisks kill his last building, which was the PF. Really weird, I keep thinking there must've been a way for SarenS to come back, but there really was no way.
I would've favored or had sYz even against all of his opponents so far (of course that doesn't mean he would've won), but the heavy hitters are coming up. Stephano, Tarson, and Nerchio if it gets that far. It'll be extremely tough.

He's been good for ages, just nobody on TL pays attention to EU weekly cups.
Which is unfortunate for them, because ever since I started following them, I gained the magical ability to predict good players before everyone realizes they're good.

It's like following the KR weeklies and then being all "I told you so" when someone gosu breaks through in the GSL =p

Impressive run from Syz!
Amen to this. EU weekly tournaments have so much talent which many people just dont see.
He's won 10 games in a row now and almost every single one of them has just been his opponent doing some weird mistake that shouldn't really happen ^^. I don't get it T__T
Part of sYz's improvement I'm sure is down to joining Blast as well, they've got the best group of players that your average TLer doesn't know which should make for a solid practice environment

I'll never get over the IEM preview on here that predicted MaNa to go 0-3 in his group. It always annoys me when nobody follows Europe.

Actually, that preview was written by one of our staff members who follows the European scene almost more than nearly anyone else. In their defense, that was a super tough group, PuMa, Stephano, SaSe, and MaNa, all tremendously good.
Most wins: BLAST|sYz (11, yes 11 wins) - $200 Last man standing: BLAST|sYz - $100
Keep your eyes peeled for next week's International KOTH - I'll be posting it much earlier.
Congratulations to sYz for probably the sickest performance we've seen in a KOTH so far, and thanks to the viewers and I hope you had a good time! ^^
Also, keep watching the FXOpen stream as we're rebroadcasting last weeks Korean King of the Hill (featuring guys like Polt, MarineKing, Leenock, XiGua).
