Warcraft 3: WC3L Season X Finals Preview - Four Kings

ToD makes up the other half of the two unbreakable pillars of Four Kings. This has been another impressive season for the Romantic Human, only losing one match against fnatic player, Xyligan. ToD’s lineup of opponents this season isn’t as packed as Grubby or Creolophus, but it still plays host to a ton of skilled players.

ToD started off the season with a clean 2:0 win against World Elite’s Night Elf ace, Check. ToD has always had kind words for Korea, which has been his second home away from France, but you wouldn’t know it by the way he’s treated its pro-gamers. He followed his demolition of Check with unkindly victories against SouthSea, Zacard, Shy and BerA.

Despite his recent proclamations about how he dislikes his matchup against the Orcish Horde, ToD managed to win all his matches.The story plays out the same for his matches against Night Elf which he took four to zero. His matchup against Undead are disputable, however. Officially, ToD played against two Undeads, but one match was against a manager who had to sub for absentee player. His one valid Undead opponent was against mouz player Happy, who promptly lost 2:0.

ToD’s only loss this season was against a fellow Human player, Xyligan. A single matchup can't prove anything substantial, coupled with the fact that this match wasn't even played -- it was a defwin for Xyligan. There are only a handful of Human players that ToD has to face this coming finals, and there's only one that he has to be completely wary of. The Frenchman can only hope that his peformance won’t be a case of de ja vu.

Ivica "Zeus[19]" Markovic and Sebastian "FuRy" Pesic
Primary Races: Night Elf and Undead
WC3L Season X Player Ranks: 16th and 17th
Home Map: Secret Valley/Terenas Stand and Twisted Meadows

Zeus[19] and FuRy are longtime members of Four Kings. For most of their later, eventide years on the team, they have been overlooked due to their lack of participation. This duo still gets much needed points for the team when called upon. Zeus[19] was able to win four of his six matches; FuRy two out of three.

Zeus[19] performed incredibly well against Night Elves, winning all three matches while dropping only one map. His games against Undeads are obviously his weakest, losing both to marginal UDs, XlorD and CanucK escaping with only one map win. FuRy, coming of a weak run from last season, was made to play only 3 matches—all against Night Elves—losing only to fnatic’s alpha elf, Satiini.
