This is great... really missed when IGN had fight club. I remember Hyun reeling off so many wins in a row... it was really his coming out party.

Oh yeah we should probably mention our foreign language casting teams.

O'Gaming will be casting in French.

CranK and Alicia will be casting in Korean.

Hyun's run through IGN Fight Club was career-defining.

I love King of the Hill formats, and while it's not likely, it'd be damn amazing to see someone really step up and hold the throne.

nice to see Blizzard is smart enough to sponsor online events with guys who really know what they are doing.

Notification of a change in rules

So we've been thinking a lot about how best to preserve players win streaks and give an eventual advantage to the current king. Our previous solution was to give the king an extra life after 3 wins, allowing them to lose once but remain king, assuming they did not lose to the same player twice. The problem with this system however is that in order to make it fair, we'd have to pay the winner of the match, whoever it might be. If the winner happens to be the challenger, who then has to play again, we end up without enough prize money to pay all 20 invitees (assuming they win to begin with). This would mean a scenario in which we'd have to bump somebody from the invite list, which would absolutely suck.

So I've decided to change the rules around a bit. Kings will no longer acquire an extra life. They will have to be on their toes all the time, since any loss will make them lose their throne. However, the current king can now choose the map from the map pool. There will be a 5 map pool which will reset upon exhaustion, so maps will be played 4 times per tournament. The king can choose any map that has not yet been used, so eventually, they may have to pick one that is disadvantageous to them once their favoured maps have been exhausted. This however does mean that the king has an edge against his challenger, while also ensuring that all of our invitees get to play.

Please bear with us, we will be trying to figure out the best way to do this tournament as the months go on, there may be further changes to the format. It's uncharted territory for us to do a King of the Hill of this type with this amount of money on the line.

Looking forward to watching you do so :D

Soooo hype, since when do Kespa players do any online stuff oO. Well I guess samsung does and some play TING or so, but still didn't expect big names. Also gonna be nice to see if innovation is really RIP or still has some skill but just not 100% atm.

I've to suppose that TB has a good relation with KeSPA, each Shoutcraft including Korean managed to have almost unreachable players. It's awesome to see talented people working together to produce some awesome content.

The top teams generally only allow players to play in online competition if they consider the organizer to be trustworthy. And also I guess the prize pool has to be right to get top players. KT and CJ basically don't play online tournaments at all, very few exceptions. TB is one of the few people who I've seen can get them for his online events.

Hype
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

It is a combination of factors. We built trust with Korean partners through Axiom and CranK is a major liason for us in South Korea. Various other SHOUTcraft events showed that we can do the job and are trustworthy. Blizzard backing also makes this a very safe bet for Korean teams. They know they'll get paid, they know the event will do well.

Years of work, some Blizzard magic and a bit of luck, is the answer I guess.

You ain't seen nothing yet, the full lineup for this event is maybe the most stacked online event you've ever seen, arguably better than the Sandisk events. It's going to be very exciting to reveal players during the event itself, I'm hoping it'll make it a must-watch.
