Photo by: ESLESL organisation has revealed the protagonists of its 36th edition of King of the Hill challenge. Chinese Human and Night Elf virtuoso Xiang 'TH000' Huang will brave current KotH champion Du Seop 'WhO' Chang in an exciting Bo5 on Thursday, 15th October at 16:00 CET.
'WhO' has been crowned KotH champion for a few months now, after dethroning former title holder Daniel 'ixi' Spenst aka 'XlorD' back in April with a 3-1 score. Since then, he didn't acquire any podium spot in the few tournaments he participated in. On the opposite side, 'TH000' has been very active lately as he came 2nd in EOG 2009 and took part in ESL Extreme Masters, Shadow League and NGL 3v3 Finals.
The previous encounters show that the Chinese defeated his opponent 5 times while the latter could grab victory in only two occasions. The last four confrontations went in favor of the former which sets him as front-runner without contest.
The maps line-up is the following:
1st Map: Twisted Meadows
2nd Map: Melting Valley
3rd Map: Secret Valley
4th Map: Ancient Isles
5th Map: Turtle Rock
N.B.: The games will be covered by ESL TV on the free stream.
