NVIDIA GosuGamers KOTH: SjoW expecting a tough series

Jeffrey "SjoW" Brusi will face Chris "HuK" Loranger in the third series of the NVIDIA GosuGamers King of the Hill this Friday.

The fifth-ranked Swedish Terran was invited by GosuGamers to battle the win-spreeing HuK. The 23-year-old from Stockholm is a member of Team Dignitas, and is focusing fully on StarCraft 2.

The King of the Hill, HuK, has defeated Stefan "MorroW" Andersson (4-1) and Dima "DIMAGA" Filipchuk (4-3), and has with that earned €200 EUR. SjoW have followed the series, and expects it to be tough.

- "I expect a very tough series. In my opinion HuK has defeated the best of players of their respective races. Except for maybe DIMAGA, but he is not far behind of IdrA," says SjoW to GosuGamers.

- "I think HuK is the best Protoss in the European-American region currently. He is also the most successful Protoss player tournament wise."

How would you describe HuK's play style?
- "Very economic based and macro oriented. But he can switch gears and be aggresive as well so he's not predictable. He also prefers Robo builds rather than High Templar builds. But he can play both, which is why I think he's currently the best Protoss around."

Do you see any details in HuK's game against Terran that you can pull as your advantage?
- "I haven't analyzed the last King of the Hill replays yet but I will do it later. But from the games I've played against HuK on the ladder, I have his style nailed down. But as the games might be played in the new patch, I'm expecting some new styles as well."

- "I feel like I'm in great shape. I think I have a well-rounded game against all races at the moment. And right now I'm totally focused on StarCraft 2, though I occasionally play poker which I have done professionally for three years," says SjoW. "But that's about to change to nothing since I'm so bored of it."
