TH000 claims emphatic KoTH victory

ImageMousesports' superstar, TH000, has dethroned SK's WhO in their King of The Hill match.





The reign of Du Seop 'WhO' Chang as King of The Hill came to an abrupt end today as he was humbled by Xiang 'TH000' Huang. The Chinese player won the series in three straight maps, giving Who no chance of victory.

Game one set a worrying tone for SK's orc man as he was tower rushed in under ten minutes on Twisted Meadows. TH000 got his first tower up just out of line of sight while Who was out creeping. By the time the Korean realised what was happening it was too late. One tower quickly became four and Who was too far behind to mount any comeback.

The second game lasted longer but was similarly one-sided. Melting Valley was the ma and it followed a very typical pattern. TH000 went for a Mountain King, fast expansion into Gryphons. Who tried to counter with an expansion of his own to fund mass Batriders but he hadn't even reached tier three when TH000 made his killer push. With such a huge resource deficit, hardly any bats and no Alchemist the outcome was inevitable: 2-0 for TH000.

Game three was another tower rush, albeit a longer one. At 12 minutes long, it was a pretty standard tier two push on Secret Valley that gave TH000 his third victory. All-in-all, the series was over so quickly that the commentators played a 2 vs 2 against community members in order to fulfill the time slot.
