Congrats on the upper bracket seed here at the Bali Major.

Based on individual skills I feel that they are both very strong.

Right now even if I have to compare, I think both are equal.

Who else is a tough mid laner to play against right now?

Could be BetBoom’s GPK.

Because his laning ability and creep control are very good based on what I see.

I have nothing to say.

Perhaps it is because their play styles have some shortcomings.

I am not part of their teams, so I don’t really know.

Maybe the lineups couldn’t gel or execute and ended up not playing so well.

Youve been playing in China for 4 years now.

Do you ever miss being at home, have you ever considered returning to play in SEA?

Not really, because usually, every few months after the tours I will make a trip back home.

In regards to returning to SEA, maybe, I don’t know, no plans yet.

So far, based on what I see, we are playing better gradually.

I feel that the atmosphere and everything are pretty good.

So, shouldn’t be too big of a problem to compete in the upcoming matches.

Do you feel like you have a mentor role for the new guys on the team?

They don’t listen to me.

We just follow the coach’s lead.

Who is the most hard-working player on the team?

Our position 1 - shiro

How much of an impact does xiao8 have nowadays on the drafts?

Is the drafting part still his full responsibility?

Before the games, the whole team will discuss together and plan which heroes would be our priorities.

As for the coach, he will give us his feedback and advice.

You are one of the mid laners who played the most heroes in the group stage.

Usually, xiao8 will suggest what to use.

How does the mid lane feel in this meta?

The mid-lane, I think is more about the tempo.

As most of the focus will be on the sidelines to gain an advantage.

For mid, I think, it is easier to play.

Weve seen multiple teams using the Storm Spirit - Pugna combo during the groups.

Which of these two heroes feels broken and should any of them get a bit balanced before TI?

I feel Pugna is more crucial, as he can constantly mana regen Storm Spirit.

That allows Storm to go more aggressive.

Get kills, get out, regen, repeat.

But if Storm couldn’t get his regen, then he won’t be as powerful.

BoBoka mentioned in aninterview with usthat China is facing a drought of good mid laners right now.

The competitive scene in China does not have that many mid laners.

Maybe because in China we have lesser new blood now.

And the new players generally don’t play mid.

So that resulted in a shortage of mid laners.

Youve come very close to winning TI 10, which had the biggest prize pool.

I have nothing to say.

Because I won’t know how much this year’s TI prize pool will be without the Battle Pass.

But I feel it is not that important.

Alright, thank you for taking the time to talk to us!
