Well, dear players and viewers, let's shed some light on the current situation in the King of the Hill tournament.
Let's start with the bad news.
I've decided to finish the tournament this year. The final game will take place at the end of December 2013, where the one and only true King of the Hill will be determined, and they will take the Crown and the cash prize.
This is a well-considered and balanced decision. Perhaps there will be something special in the future, but I definitely don't want to commit to another full year of KotH – there simply might not be enough time, and the monotony is tiring. Let the tournament end on time and leave pleasant impressions (I hope it does:)).
About the tournament itself.
Currently, the top five places are occupied by the following players:
1) twaryna — 17.5
2) HellLighT — 12
3) ProtosArchon — 10.5
4) Amiloo — 8
5) Maretti / KobRa_RR — 6
As we can see, the gap between twaryna and his closest competitors is starting to narrow. Considering that twaryna has already been eliminated 4 times, his chances of being eliminated again are minimal, i.e., the others just need to hurry up and score the missing points (if they're lucky). Let's see what happens.
It is worth noting the sharp rise of HellLighT, who managed to climb from the very bottom of the table to 2nd place in one go, winning as many as 7 (!) games in a row (a new record), only losing to ProtosArchon in the end, for which he received a whole 4 points.
Also, there is some not-so-pleasant news - in September, we learned that one of the main contenders for the victory - Amiloo - has become inactive. It's a pity that such players leave us, so to speak, at the peak of their heroic career. I hope life will make its adjustments and he will return to us.
Regarding the templates: Jebus Cross is still leading by a large margin, followed by 8mm6a, and 2sm4d(3) and 6lm10a share third place.
The prize pool currently amounts to $104. Apparently, that's how much people value the maximum prize for first place in the Heroic competition :). Well, in any case, it's already nice. From today until December 31, I will not update the data on the size of the prize pool; if anyone else wants to add a little something, let it be a small surprise for the King.
That's all for now.
This was numOne. Good luck!
