Nonetheless, the competition is fierce at ESL One Malaysia as well.
How do you like Malaysia so far?
Personally, I quite like it here.
I am from Canton/Guangdong.
It has very similar vibes to Guangdong.
But the rest of the team, whether they like it here, I dont know about that.
We were quite confident.
We just practiced and prepared for this event the same way we always do.
Do you feel confident that you will take them down in the finals?
To me, it feels just like another match.
I know that the Chinese fans call Aster the tea team or the tea master team ().
Could you explain a bit to the western fans this meme and why your home fans call you that?
I cant spell it out now but, yeah, its mainly just that.
Who is the most superstitious player on your team?
It should be Siamese.Cat.
It feels that the changes are quite reasonable and normal.
It is easier to execute Boulder Smash, you’re able to just kick the closest unit over.
To me, Earth Spirit really depends on the situation and thats the only way we will pick it.
Because of his overall power level, he is quite weak.
Is Earth Spirit more suited for mid-lane now because of all the spell amplification talents?
I think it depends on the player himself.
For example, someone like Topson, maybe he will play it mid.
Aster is one of the teams that secured its direct invite to TI11, congrats on that too.
Have you all started preparing for it?
I feel that since the patch update, everyone from our team has started analyzing and experimenting with heroes.
What are the team morale and confidence levels heading into the most important tournament of the year?
So far we are pleased and in a good mental state.
For how long do you plan to bootcamp before TI11?
When we return to China we have to quarantine.
So I guess it should be around mid of September we will begin our bootcamp.
Is there anything that you might want to say to your fans at the end of our interview?
Thank you so much for your support.
And lets work hard together!
