looks drawish

1. Kx Ke4 2. Kf2 Kd3 3. Rx

Instead of 3. Rxc2, why not Ke1?

1.Kxg2 Ke4 2.Kf2 Kd3 3.Ke1 doesn't White win?

It does. But looking closer, you notice that it would be a draw if white had the move, and the e-pawn is useless.

But 1. Kxg2 Ke4 2. Kf2 e1=Q+ 3. Kxe1 Kd3 is zugzwang and (dead) draw.
