January, 28st: Notforu > Yayba

KOTH

Ladies and Gentlemen, dear unique StarCraft community and ardent admirers of the best computer game in the field of eSports, take a seat, lean back, relax, get something to eat and light a cigar, because it is Monday soon again and we present you the herald in a new age of entertainment, the "MeetYourMakers King of the Hill broadcasted by ESL TV" continues!

Maybe we should give Russian Fede- Zerg 3D.Notforu - hail to the king - the nickname "favorites nightmare" since he took down in the last two weeks White-Ra and Strelok, both considered as some of the best players in Europe those days.

This week it will be one of those young, rising and very promising Polish players taking on Notforu. Are you ready for Poland Protoss Yayba?

yayba

This guy is quite known in scene since he participated last year in a couple of different offline events in Poland where he showed solid performances and was actually on Polish GL07 able to knock out Dreiven. At the moment he is without team, god knows why! So he spends his time on ICCup and is playing a lot of games over there lately. Actually he is the best ranked Polish player there, overall in 1n1 ladder on rank 11, surrounded by a bunch of Koreans.

Further we announce a new map. The very oldschool Lost Temple will be replaced by the MSL map Blue Storm 1.1. You can take a look at the map here.

Update #1:

Yayba just told us that LRM made him an offer to join their team, he accepted!

Update #2:
Notforu is able to gain the third victory in a row and is still standing on the MYM KOTH. The next KOTH will take place in two weeks!

Let's hear what the King has to say:

Notforu, you just took down Yayba in the MYM KOTH. Tell me something about the games.
- I cannot say, really =) It was just that I tried hard and my best on every single map. And at least two last games were good for me. I really liked them. Yayba played good, but unfourtunately he was a bit unlucky, but he is good player anyway. Actually I don't know how I was able to win this second game on Crater, this was his one from the star on.

Yayba showed a good early game, while you just dominated mid and late game. The early game, something you need to improve?
Notforu- Well maybe, I don't know. I think I am more or less equal in both parts.

On Monty Hall, Yayba tried to rush you with double gates in your base. Why did you have the perfect counter for it? Did you expect that cheese?
- No, no =) That was luck, as I mentioned before already. I thought he was going to expo and I decided to change strat form macro to all-in rush. But luckily he wanted to cheese me. After that I produced a good game.

Some people complained about the maps and their balance. Do you agree?
- If you ask me, I think Ungoro is maybe not the best choice of a map, but overall I like all maps. As a principle, if you want to be best, play any maps and learn to handle them. We could change roster of maps from time to time maybe, since it might be more fun and it would produce different games.

You took down some of Europe's best players within three weeks. Did you prepare for each match? Do you plan to stay as the King of the Hill forever?
- No, I didn't prepare in a special way. I just played five maps before I faced Ra and Strelok with some Russian friends. Actually I don't have a plan to stay KOTH for eternity =) I just want to play some good players, the top ones of Europe. And to play them I will do all I can! It is really hard for me to play good ladder games. And I think over 1000 other players can beat me in the KOTH!

 

The match will be broadcasted on Monday live at 21 CET - click in to the free stream here. Further your favourite two ESL TV hosts Germany Christian Wopen and Germany Ulli Schulze are going to cast these matches again.


Enjoy and add your prediction right now to the comments -
is Notforu beatable?

Nfu is overrated? He took down Ra and Strelok and won WCG Russia, I think that says more then thousand words :)

And RoV will be replaced next week. It is here cause I had the idea to great a journey through SC map history, from very old to very new maps. But maybe it is time to close that decade ;)

Ya that sucks, but sometimes the machines > humans. I am sure they tried everything possible to get it working. At least I uploaded the replays quick, also a VOD will be up soon.
