On the 24th of May, we will be hosting the second installment of the SteelSeries King of the Hill tournament. This time around the Fnatic boys will be taking on the European side of Natus Vincere. With WCS qualification over and a break in most international events everyone has had a lot of time to practice and prepare for this event.
We will kick off the event at 20:00 CET on Friday, the 24th of May. The Fnatic boys were victorious in their first KOTH battle against Copenhagen Wolves. This means that Fnatic will be playing with a $500 bounty on their head, coupled with a recently loss to Na`Vi in ESL Team League the boys have a lot to play for. The event will be casted in English by Kaj "Lyrlian" Landman, on Twitch TV. We will also have Hireling casting the event in Russian from his Twitch Channel. We will also have special guest appearances throughout the show featuring Harstem and other StarCraft 2 players guest casting the remaining matches and answering questions.
During the show you will also have the ability to win some prizes. Our host will be giving away a SteelSeries QCK+ Mousepad Fnatic Edition, so if you're interested in winning that you will have to pay attention throughout the show and follow Lyrlian's instructions!
We would like to thank our sponsor SteelSeries for making all of this possible, you can check out their Facebook and Twitter where you can find all kinds of cool stuff. Prior to the event start we will also have a lot of awesome features for the fans who show up early.

Hope to see you all there on the 24th for an evening of high level SC2 action. Should be great fun having Pro players cast alongside myself (:

Silly Harstem you only play 1 match! And hopefully cast a few too :D
|
seems a bit silly to not have your ace play a normal match. looks a lot more like they just wanted 5 players to actually play a match. looks and sounds fun tho. plus i quite enjoyed your casting of wcs eu.

The last one of these was epic! I think fnatic will take but it wont be that easy as I bet Navi really want that money :D

Why did both teams decide not to use their best players, SaSe and BabyKnight? lol

Perhaps they are busy with WCS and so (BabyKnight at least) but also things like this are good opportunities to send out some of the lesser known players on the team to get some experience in team league matches etc and build their confidence. Best example would probably be Incredible Miracle, who always put out their 'unknown' players to give them experience and then a lot of them turned into absolutely incredible players.

Correct, BabyKnight is busy with WCS EU Finals, don't know about SaSe though

@Harstem will be co-casting the matches with me (the ones he isnt playing in obviously)

Nice series, great casting Lyrlian (you're getting really good!) and Harstem! Looking forward to the next one.
I do feel that an organisation such as Fnatic needs some top caliber players for HotS though..they finalised they're European lineup during WoL, and it hasn't transitioned well at all into HotS so far.
