WC3L KotH #26: HoT defending his title

[s]event_68[/s]

The Russian Undead player Happy was selected for the task to end HoT's King of the Hill era, but failed miserably. He left the battleground with his tail between his legs while HoT still is the undisputed king of the hill after tonight's 3-0 victory.

The 26th edition of WC3L's King of the Hill was played tonight, where Happy tried to steal HoT's prestigius crown. HoT obtained the title after beating the French superstar ToD in three straight games. Since then he has defended his title once, against RotterdaM, taking the Orc player down with 3-1.

Happy - a slight GosuBet favourite

HoT is ranked 5th with 1311 points in our database while Happy resides at 25th place with 1150 points. Despite the big difference in the database the GosuBet users held Happy as a slight favourite with 57% of the 2368 gold betted. What was expected to be a close and even match actually became kind of one-sided. Mykhaylo "HoT" Novopashyn showed the Russian youngster why he is the current title defender by defeating him on three straight maps - namely Echo Isles, Twisted Meadows and Turtle Rock.

Is HoT unstoppable?

After three staight wins with a map difference of 6-1 HoT is still on top of the WC3L hill. Will he be able to break the WC3L KotH record of five straight wins, currently held by Check? Up to this point, HoT has faced all races except his own - Night Elf. Will his mirror matchup be his fall or an extension of his reign and who will be his next opponent?
