Our Danish star player   Henrik "Wralth" Hansen has been chosen to attend the very first round of WC3R's King of the Hill. His opponent will be the fellow countryman   Juri "Rosenkill" Rosenkilde, and they will face each other in Best of five series.

This Saturday the Danish warcraft 3 site, WC3Replays.dk, will be hosting their first King of the Hill round, and picked out among the top gamers in DK is our very own   T.MH]Wralth. 

I caught hold of  FlaskeWanker who is WC3R KOTH head admin and asked him a few questions about their new King of the Hill project.

NoHopeAtALL: Hi there Flaske. Before we start could you quick introduce yourself? Flaske: Hi my name is Kasper Nørgaard. I am 18 years old and am Admin at WC3Replays.dk and former manager for Boom town Copenhagen (BTc) NoHopeAtALL: right, now let's get down to business. I've noticed that you have launched a new King of the Hill project at WC3R. Could you please tell us more about it? Flaske: The KOTH project started by request from our users, who apparently missed some exiting games featuring hand picked players. And who afterward, inspired by WC3L and GosuGamers, asked us to launch a King of the Hill tournament. NoHopeAtALL: Well it is good to see that your KOTH project is up and running. Is the tournament for Danes only? Or will you try and get some international players to participate as well?  Flaske: The project is called KOTH.dk and will therefore only involve players from the Danish warcraft 3 scene. We have no plans of extending the project and try and get hold of international players. Neither do I think it would be easy since KOTH is already held to other places. NoHopeAtALL: yes I agree on that and further more I believe that the attendance of the big boys require a fair amount of money. Is there any prize money involved in your tournament? Flaske: Well, WC3Replays.dk is an addfree site which means that we have no money available. And that is also a reason not to try and get big names outside the Danish border to participate. I will nevertheless try and dig out something for the final 4 players, who will decide who is to be crowned king of kings. NoHopeAtALL: Beautiful work to keep an active Warcraft 3 site like that. You speak of 4 finalist is it possible that they will face each other offline? Or is the entire tournament held online? Flaske: Thanks. Well at the moment it looks like it will be held online, but if the users show a huge interest to support the project I might try and work something out. NoHopeAtALL: Let us hope the users will support the project. Now what are your own expectation to the upcoming game and the whole King of the Hill project? Flaske: I expect Wralth to win but if Rosinkill is in a great shape he might be able to fight back. Of cause there will be some level difference but that is inevitable when only Danes are invited, but I hope to see 3-5 nice games. I'm looking forward to see some nice games and I hope that the people will support the project and get some cosy evenings among the best players that Denmark has to offer. If the users like it then I have done my job. NoHopeAtALL: A honourable goal. Well Flaske thank you for your time I wish you, and the WC3R site, the best of luck in the future. Any last shout outs? Flaske: No problem. I would like to thank Team MYM-Raptor.Gaming for supporting us with one of your players and enlighten our Project to the international gaming scene.

And with that said and done let's carry on.

The mappool for WC3Replays.dk's King of the Hill:

• Lost Temple - RoC • Echo Isle • Gnoll Wood TFT • Turtle Rock • Twisted Meadows • Terenas Stand • Tirisfal Glades

    









The game format is Best-of-5 and a King can sit on the throne for no more than 3 times. There will be held x-rounds of the KOTH and eventually will the top 4 Kings be hand picked to play KOTK - King of the Kings.

And now let's have a closer look on the two participating players:

Name: Henrik Hansen
Age: 17 years 
ID: Wralth
Race:  
Country: Denmark   
City: Copenhagen  
Team: Team MYM.Raptor-Gaming
 
Wralth is definitely one of the best players Denmark has to offer at the moment. He recently proved that by reaching the Final at WCG DK where he almost defeated fnatic.Bjarke. Besides his WCG DK result Wralth finished 2nd at the Danish ESWC 2005 qualifier and 3rd at the Danish Acon5 qualifier.


Name: Juri Rosenkilde 
Age: 18 years 
ID: Rosenkill 
Race:  
Country: Denmark  
City: Vallensbæk  
Clan: Team InCorrect

Rosenkill is, no doubt, a talented young player who is about to reach to top on the Danish Warcraft 3 scene. He is a member of clan InCo who are doing very good in the Danish WC3 League where they are sharing the #1 spot with team e9gma-gaming. Even though Wralth is the favourite for the win Rosenkill should be able to put up a strong fight.

Before the start of the games I got hold of both players and here is what they had to say:

 T.MH]Wralth:

I'm really looking forward to this match since I practiced a lot, and was just waiting for a good match. Rosenkill ,I heard, is really good using fiends against NE so I think it will be a very exiting match.

 InCo.Rosenkill:

I Hope to see a good and exiting match. I’m happy to participate in WC3R’s KOTH since it gives me a chance to prove what I’m capable of and besides that get an opportunity to play against a real gosu (Wralfie). Even though I do not expect to win I hope to put up a strong fight and maybe make a surprise.

The first round of WC3R's KOTH is to played the 5th of November at 15:00 CET.

MeetYourMakers wishes both players the best of luck and may the best player win.

Rosenkill has rather surprisingly taken the lead in his KOTH match against Wralth. He started out winning game 1 and 2 before Wralth changed to orc and took home an important victory on Tirisfal Glades.

Yet again playing orc Wralth managed to take another win and, by that, making the overall score even before the final game

After losing game 1 and 2 Wralth changed his race to Orc and took the following 3 games to secure an overall win.

Rosenkill did much better than expected and nearly took the win, which would have been a major surprise.

Congratulations to Wralth for taking the very first WC3R KOTH we'll look forward to who the next challenger will be.
