To say that China has not been having the best few years in Dota 2 is an understatement.
Once dominating the scene, the region now struggles to reestablish itself as a major force in international competition.

Hi Monet, thanks for taking the time ahead of the event to chat with us.
You must have so much on your mind to focus on right now.This is not your first TI.
In fact, it is your 5th and you have had varying results so far.
The teams results from this year have ranged.
But ultimately what really matters is our own teams results and performance.
There is definitely a bit of pressure to bring glory back to China.
Mobile games are dominating our market and everyone else prefers playing mobile.
You will see fewer new players coming from this region let alone pro players.
What do you think of the format this year, compared to previous years and formats?
This new format is refreshing and find it interesting.
Obviously, you would want to win it all, but if you dont who do you think will?
I would prefer to take it one step at a time.
I have not thought of a particular placement as well.
