Welcome to The Hot Seat, a King of the Hill showmatch series hosted by JoRoSaR and facilitated by DingIt.

Each week we will be inviting players to compete in a Best-of-9, winner-takes-all for a showmatch that results in the winners building a bounty and playing for a larger prize pool the next time around!

The format is Bo9. The map list is as follows:

Coda LE
Echo LE
Expedition Lost
Vaani Research Station
Cactus Valley LE
Inferno Pools
Iron Fortress LE

Game 1: Starting map decided by vetoes (coinflip to determine who vetoes first).

Games 2-7: Loser of the previous game picks from remaining maps in the map pool.

Games 8-9: If there is a Game 8 (i.e. score is 4-3), a new round of map vetoes begins. The player who vetoed second before the start of the showmatch, vetoes first this time. We veto down to 3 maps. Player on the lower score picks the map for Game 8. If there is a game 9, the losing player picks between the two remaining maps.

Example: Score is PartinG 3-4 Life and the 3 maps after Game 8 vetoes are Code, Echo & Iron Fortress...PartinG picks Echo for Game 8, and if there is a Game 9, Life can choose between Coda & Iron Fortress.

The above rule allows for players to focus on the maps they are most familiar with, when the match gets down to the final few all-important games.

Our showmatch series starts at a bounty of $150. The winner stays on to play next week, and $75 gets added to the bounty next time around. If a challenger defeats the King of the Hill, they take that player's bounty and start from $150 the following week as they begin to build a bounty of their own!

If Hydra wins, he starts to build his bounty winning $150, and next week plays for $225 as he attempts to increase his bounty further.

If Solar wins, he takes home Hydra's bounty of $150 and gets to start building his own from the next week onwards!

The prize fund each week is (currently) capped at a maximum of $375 (four wins), but may increase in the future.
