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!

Team Liquid's (Wiki)

Bunny defends his title against ALT's (Wiki)

Showtime!

Date: Thursday 23/Apr/2015
Time: 20:00 CET (Converted to your local timezone: 19:00 GMT (+00:00))

The main English stream will be live on Dingit with
JoRoSaR

The format is Bo9. The map list is as follows (new map pool):

Coda LE (2)
Echo LE (2)
Expedition Lost (2)
Vaani Research Station (2)
Cactus Valley LE (4)
Inferno Pools (4)
Iron Fortress LE (4)

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 Coda, Echo & Expedition Lost...PartinG picks Echo for Game 8, and if there is a Game 9, Life can choose between Coda & Expedition Lost.

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 ShoWTimE wins, he claims the bounty of $375 on Bunny, and next week plays for $150 as he attempts to build a bounty of his own.

If Bunny wins, he takes home $375 and his bounty remains at the maximum for the next challenger!

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

It's what happens when you use something that requires people to download extra plug-ins and such.

I finally decided to try this Dingit player after avoiding it for a while, and I was not a fan. It looks very nice, but on my old laptop it only runs smooth when I have it full screen, otherwise it is slow and framey and makes all my other stuff run slow as well.

And I often like to leave streams in the background and listen like radio while I do other stuff, so doing this for Dingit makes my whole comp run slow as hell. It even made my laptop straight crash during one game. In my opinion making your program work well for the majority of the systems running it is much more important than making it look nice.

Doesn't mean it can't improve, but right now I don't anticipate using it unless it is a must see series between amazing players

If Bunny was Bbyong, instead of retreating his natural into the main. He'd have taken the islands.
