Koth: Legion vs Mondragon

Trek-PL managed to win three straight King of the hill events, which ended the second season and made him the king. But we had to to set the king aside and the job to find a new one began. The first two challengers for the position as new king of the hill will be: Germany ToT)Mondragon( and Australia POS_Legionnaire.
Challenger presentation #1 - ToT)Mondragon(mondi.jpg
NameChristoph
Age17
Location Neumarkt, Germany Germany
Race Zerg


ToT)Mondragon( is one of Europe's best Brood War players at the moment, with a good recent record in his belt: Winner of the first sGPL (GosuGamers Power Leauge), beating the former King of the hill Trek-PL in the final with 3-1. He is also a member in the German national team. His zerg is very unpredictable and hard to play against. You can find replays of ToT)Mondragon( here!

Challenger presentation #2 - POS_Legionnairelegionnarie.jpg
NamePeter Neate
Age22
LocationBrissie, Australia Australia (Currently living in Seoul, Korea)
Race Protoss

POS_Legionnaire is one of the few non-korean pro-gamers in Korea at the moment. As a member of the korean Pro-gamer clan P.O.S (Pirates of Space) he is a big threat to ToT)Mondragon('s Zerg. POS_Legionnaire plays Protoss and he is doing it really well at the moment, he was in the top in one of the WSL (WGTour Speed Ladder) finals. POS_Legionnaire is a member of the Austrailian national team as well. You can find replays with POS_Legionnaire here!Maps

Namja Iyagi 1.0 will be the first map. And after that it's losers pick.Information about the battleThe match will take place Monday 19th of January, 16.00 CET on Battle.net. A full coverage of the event will be updated later on.
CoverageThe match has begun! I've only got very little information, but poGDI just reported to me that Mondragon took the lead by winning the first game on Namja Iyagi. More updates coming.

Second update: Okay, sorry for the delay in updates, but there was a massive lag when I tried to tab from the game. Anyways, we've done a pause now by both players' request. It was 03.00 at Leg's place at the moment, and I fully respect this decision. Anyway, as the pause came, the results were 3-2 (1-0, 2-0, 2-1, 3-1, 3-2) in favour of Germany ToT)Mondragon(. Match coverage is under construction.

Third update:
The first game started out on Namja Iyagi. The first game sat the pattern of the whole match, a Protoss versus Zerg battle, quite similar games all of them. The game lasted quite long but ended up with Legionnaire being contained by lurkers and Mondragon finishing him up with guardians. This is somewhat the major look of the battles - therefore I won't go into details on every one of them since it will be mostly boring and repetative. Legionnaire used corsairs and dark templars a lot, especially in game four on Gamea Gowon. One of his dark templars had 27 kills, mostly drones. It was to me a suprising result so far and I'm really looking forward to the ending of the match, which will be played as soon as possible.

Look at an interesting screenshot in the third game, where Legionnaire made a protoss wall-in which Mondragon had to take a wild card at and try to destroy, by attacking it's only pylon:

Fourth update: Today the sixth game of this king of the hill match was played. Not too exiting game this either, though. Another game in the same pattern as before, lurkers, templars, zealots, dark templars, lings and hydras. That's about it. It was on Vertigo this time though, and Mondragon kept dropping Leg's main, this time using ultralisks as well. Here's a screenshot of the final drop:

Congratulations to Mondragon for winning yet another event here at GosuGamers, last time it was the Power League that he won, which I'm sure you haven't missed. The next challenger is not yet announced, we may publish a poll about it later on. Great work indeed! Norti asked, "should we call him the king now?" No, not yet. If you know how this works then you know that there are two more challengers awaiting until Mondragon can claim the king title and secure the hill. If he loses, that means he is out of it. Here's the match overview:
