You can see where the rules have changed by looking for the '*' symbol
The King of the Hill is a 'winner stays on' competition which offers a chance to win money whilst promoting high level play. Prize money is increased for the longer someone is able to keep their throne, winning consecutive games in a row. In order to be the King, you must defeat the current King and contesters are chosen before each game in the Twitch chat by raffle.

The King must win consecutive games using each of the 5 factions. Once you have picked a faction you will not be able to play them again. The contester will pick the map that they wish to play from the map pool.
