| Rules, maps and other information of importanceDate: 2004-09-07
The game format is as usual best out of seven. Each game will last until the winner is determined.
All of the games must be played with BWScanner, and if there is to be any shoutcast via Winamp or in some other way, the players are not allowed to listen to it while playing. Should any of the players be caught cheating they will automatically lose the game and be banned from future events on GosuGamers.net.
The first game is on  Nostalgia, and then the loser of the previous game will choose a map from this new made map pool, where  Dahlia of Jungle and  Gorky Island have replaced Detonation Xnote and  U-Boat 2004:
Enter the Dragon 2004
|  Neo Guillotine
| Nostalgia
| JR's Memory
|  Namja Iyagi 1.0
| Dahlia of Jungle
| Neo Gaema Gowon
| Gorky Island
| Luna
| Lost Temple
|  Legacy of char |
| Current King of the Hill - Nal_Testie | Name | Nick Perentesis
| | Age | 19
| | Location | Canada
| | Race | Random |
Nal_Testie is one of the best players around these days, and he has impressed a lot in events like Face 2 Face, WCT, WGTour 2on2 with ToT)Mondragon( and let's not forget Canada's National Team, which is about to face  Finland in the last semi-final in the ClanBase Nations Cup. Testie has never made it to the WCG Grand finals, even though he has tried to qualify four times. Testie took the crown and throne from SuKeR, who was close to winning the season. Will Testie be able to do what SuKeR didn't do? Well, this is one obstacle he will have to climb.
| Challenger - Eriador[pG] | Name | Eivind Leknes
| | Age | 20
| | Location |  Norway
| | Race | Random |
Eriador is one of the top Nordic players, which he showed in Stockholm 31st of July, in the Norwegian WCG preliminaries where he ended up winning the ticket to San Fransisco. Later on he also faced Finland's WCG winner Clawson in an Face 2 Face game, which Eriador won with 3-2. He is an important member of the Norwegian National Team and of the team [pG]. Will Eriador push Testie down the Hill and claim his throne? On Saturday you'll find out.

| Interview with TestieAlright, good work Testie!
You won 4-0... surprised?
- Kinda.
Not really though.
What do you think about the way you and Eriador played? Did you or he do any big mistakes?
- The games were full of mistakes on both parts. Neither of us played to our full potential. But Eriadors main mistake was doing builds that weren't so good. We were both kinda making up builds on the fly. But some of his builds were based on "hoping" what I was. IE: On the Legacy of Char game, he was hoping I was protoss. But I randomed Terran. ! Mine were just all around safe builds.
Well, the TvT on Namja mine was kinda risky. ;D
=) but he plays TvT so little that I figured he wouldn't get a scanner so the wraiths would still work well.
Yes it was... It was a calculated risk from you, if he had taken them your expansion was pretty.. open. Who's gonna stop you now?
- But I think no one will stop me, unless they play Random.
=)
Because RvR can always start off with a bit of luck that can't be changed.
Really? We could bring in a korean... And you'd still be unstopable?
- Bring Iloveoov himself. I will eat him.
Oh yeah!
- Though maybe not... rvring vs him... I think i'd really
Really be scared to get TvsT vs a guy of his level =D
Okay now, a closing comment, anything you'd like to say?
Alright, good luck in the future, and we'll see you at the next KOTH!
- Yar!!!
Interview with Eriador | |
0-4, that's gotta hurt... What happened?
- meh, it doesn't really hurt
he played better and had a slight bit more luck, although I'm definitely not blaming that
I said before the game that it would depend heavily on what matchups we got, and unfortunately I did not get the matchups I was hoping for in either of the 4 games
and well he had a better day
not much else to say, I got ¤#")! =]
What were you hoping for then? Could you have beaten him in some MUs?
- well
to break down the maps
on nostalgia I hoped for pvt or zvp
char (I picked the wrong version of char, for some reason my map wasn't marked properly so I got that horrible version 2.0 instead of neo legacy of char) I hoped for either zvp or pvt
namja I hoped for something other than him being terran
luna I dunno what I hoped for really, I haven't played that much, but I would definitely have preferred zvp or mostly anything other than zvt. during that game I kinda wanted to just beat him quick or something and that influenced my play
making me suck pretty hard
but oh well
Who do you think will be able to beat him?
- oh there's plenty of players who "can" if they have the day or he does not have the day.
trek has already beat him in f2f, he can do it in koth too. mondragon beat him 4-0 not too long ago if I remember correctly
these best of 7 series don't really show much regarding who the better player is, although testie definitely was the better player today, no question about that, and I'm confident that if we played another series tomorrow the outcome could be at least pretty close to reversed.
Will we see you have a good day @ WCG?
- not to take anything away from his victory though, testie is a very good player
I'm quite certain I will. I love playing on lan, and unlike most other players it makes me better instead of worse
prizes are also a great motivator
Any closing comments, anything you'd like to say to Testie?
- hm
good game well played, and I hope you die ;)
also include a <3.
Also thanks to starcraftgamers.com for giving me this great opportunity to experience prisonsex
Good luck on WCG and in the future!
