[HotS] Kill the
King 2 Finals Coverage: New Order of Bosses vs. Mouse Control
On July 12th, the ‘Kill the King 2’ Heroes of the Storm tournament
culminated in a finals match between New Order of Bosses, otherwise known as NOoB and captained by Nijo,
and Mouse Control, captained by Marcel. The round-robin tournament was part of a series of weekly amateur HotS tournaments created
and run by eSports Wall, a site for all things gaming and eSports. Fail House and
Wisey Gaming casted the final matches, finishing with a close, twenty-minute battle which
ended in a victory for NOoB.
Mouse Control featured the likes of Razilat playing Johanna,
SolidSMD playing Valla, Praedyn playing Rehgar, Filiberke playing Falstad, and
Larke playing Sylvanas. On the side of NOoB, Nijo played Muradin, Xact played
Kael’thas, Nazeebo was played by Slyte, Tyrande was played by Inrakie, and
Zolor played Malfurion.
The match was played on Sky Temple ,
one of Heroes of the Storm’s eight maps. On Sky Temple ,
players are required to capture three objectives periodically in order to destroy
the enemy team’s structures. The hard-fought match remained close throughout,
with the teams staying less than two levels apart for its entirety.
Despite the game’s closeness and Mouse Control gaining
a slight experience lead at one point, New Order of Bosses managed to use emerge
victorious through a series of critical objectives and team fights. With all structures
on the map demolished except each team’s core and keeps, Mouse Control gained
an important advantage, reaching level 20 and gaining a very strong set of
additional ability upgrades ahead of their opponents. With this advantage, MC
attempted to push NOoB’s bottom lane but took a few heavy hits from the
double-support team, giving NOoB the chance to capture the middle temple as
soon as it activated. In the fight which would ensue, excellent positioning and
well-targeted abilities allowed NOoB to eliminate all of MC’s players except
Larke and SolidSMD, creating an opportunity to push and destroy Mouse Control’s
core.
Good game and well played to both teams; you can find a VOD
