[Music]
I think it's one of the reasons why I
made it the tunami for example because V
always is I'm gnome I'm gnome I mean
they're very interested when I when I
told them about it really good yeah yeah
I was say is
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
um I had a a cousin who was older than
me um and I would always watch him play
and he would play Warcraft 3 and then
later on World of Warcraft and I think
back then World of Warcraft was my
favorite game and that was my first like
real real computer game I played that
for um a lot of years I think four or
five years until I switched to Han and
then later on
DOTA I've always been a very competitive
person so even though I didn't like
um I didn't want to be like like a
professional or something I just always
wanted to compete so when I played
Heroes of new
Earth um I just ended up on some team
and we qualified for dream hack and once
I got there I realized like holy [ __ ]
playing like land tournaments and seeing
your teammates in real life like it's so
much fun and this is what I want to do
so after that I just decided okay I'm
going to try really hard to uh to make
this my uh my career
to become like a pro
player um well you have to really really
want it if you don't if you just kind of
want it then for sure there's no way you
can achieve it um you have to put in so
much work like more work than you could
ever
imagine um but if you if you think you
have what it
takes I say just like just go for it you
have to always try your best in every
game you play you have to play a lot you
have to try to learn from others
and I mean yeah just you're I feel like
if you want to become a pro you already
know what to do it's just about doing
it I think a good teammate is one that
uh listens to his teammates
and tries his best always um I think you
have to to be very good at taking
criticism
and not uh if if you're having if you're
in a bad mood if you're having a bad day
don't let it affect your teammates don't
uh yeah and if I consider myself a good
teammate I think I am actually I think
it's one of the reasons why uh I made it
the tunami for example because I'm
pretty easy to be in a team with I don't
uh yeah yeah I I would say so
uh in this bot or at
home okay at home I wake up around 9
maybe 8 or 9 pretty early um then I have
breakfast I chill a bit with like I take
a long time with my breakfast and then
after that I will usually play some
pops have like play pops maybe two or
three pops then have
lunch
then I go um for a little walk
outside to kind of prepare myself
mentally to play scrims make sure that
I'm thinking about the right things and
that I'm focused then I come back play
one more pop and then we play
scrims Then somewhere in between I have
dinner and then go to bed something like
that
uh no not not so much I mean they're
very interested when I when I tell them
about it but I don't maybe only my dad
will try to because he's always like
trying to help me in any way he can but
I don't think he knows so much about it
so he can't really give me the best
advice yes
um I think one he needs to
uh have have the respect from his
teammates he needs to earn that respect
and then two he needs to be
um kind of
strict sometimes in game he needs to
make some calls and make sure that
everybody listens um and three
um he needs to have a good relationship
with every single one of the players on
the team because otherwise you can't be
you can't Captain someone if you don't
have a good relationship with them
oh yeah yeah H well for me I think it's
just like the competition like I'm I'm a
very competitive person so I just think
it's super fun to compete
and and beat others basically I want to
prove that I'm I'm the best
so I think this career just like any
other sports career is best from like an
early age until you want to have kids
I think for me that's kind of the when I
when I decide I want to have kids um I
don't want to play anymore because it's
too stressful and it takes too much time
and then I won't have any time to see my
kids so I think depends when you want
kids you know maybe you want kids at 25
then it's 25 if you want 30 then it's
30 really good it was like
uh it was like somebody told me like
okay you're actually so good that we'll
pay you to play this game and it just
meant a lot to me because for so many
years I had just been playing and not
getting anything out of it and my
parents would like tell me like what the
[ __ ] are you doing like this is such a
waste of time they would always try
to go hang out with your friends go to
school blah blah blah but now that I was
earning money they could finally
understand okay if you can actually earn
money from this then it's maybe a good
idea so it meant a lot to me
I feel like I'm one of those type of
people I don't remember my matches so
clearly and I think I haven't had that
many like
the I I mean I remember all the from the
KF major qualifier I remember all those
games they were pretty good but we ended
up not
qualifying um I also remember on one of
my first teams uh when we made it
through the Open qualifier for the
Shanghai major I think at like 3:00 a.m.
at the night and we're all super happy
that was another match that like I was
really happy to
win well I do play guitar I played I I
played in maybe I don't know if people
know this but I played in a band where I
play bass and I can play the piano I can
play guitar
um I've played a lot of music throughout
my life uh so and I always stopped doing
that because it became I became so busy
with DOTA but otherwise I would probably
still play in a band
H I don't know there is a lot for
example we play gnomes versus sabur and
V he always says I'm gnome I'm gnome and
it makes everybody laugh laugh because V
is like a little shorter and then when
he says I'm gnome I'm gnome it's just
it's too funny it makes everybody
laugh well I was in China in December
that was a pretty cool experience it was
so different from the culture I'm from
maybe the states when I went there when
I was like 10 years old with my family
that was like probably the best vacation
of you
know I really really like Phoenix I wish
pad would pick it more for me because I
think it's really fun to play and you
get to it's always such a such a like un
the itch hero if you if they kill your
egg or if you like it can turn the team
fight other than Phoenix I mean Rubik
has always been one of my favorites I
used to say Oracle because I really I
think that hero is super fun to play but
that hero is kind of not so good right
now wyvern yeah wyvern is a good one I
really like Wy too
that's I feel like DOTA takes so much of
my time so when I finally have some time
I spend it with either my girlfriend or
my
family the best teammate well I think da
is a really good teammate he's always
like good at cheering us up and he's
always
very
um he he never says
anything in an angry way or like he's
always polite and tries his best works
very hard he plays more than any of us I
think um so I think da is a really
really good
team well I'm I'm sort of a bit newer to
DOTA so I don't I don't remember like
the old na'vi days so much um or some of
like the the Chinese teams but for me I
mean either how OG is right now I think
OG is like super cool team um or the old
EG um with PPD and fear and such I
really like those
teams well shout out to everyone who
keeps supporting na'vi um I think it's
really cool that you guys keep uh keep
cheering for us and it makes me very
happy when I see some positive comments
on Twitter or um on Facebook it's it
really feels good and and helps us win I
think so thank you to all to support us
