If this guy is Malaysian Chinese, their Mandarin is heavily affected by English, Cantonese and the Malaysian language. You better be cautious, cause he'll probably be unable to communicate well with Chinese players. | ||

These blogs are pretty enjoyable. Nice that other organizations are willing to chip in and help foreigners in a foreign land. | ||

Nice that other organizations are willing to chip in and help foreigners in a foreign land. As someone who moved to China, it's not always easy to live there which is why we try to take good care of western teams. XiiTuzi, Orrin and Scarlett did an amazing job at making their life in China more comfortable. | ||

Does it actually make a noticeable difference for Dota2? Since I'm not someone who played on different monitors,I can't really see a big difference, but many players actually complained about the monitors. Arteezy has been playing on 144 for a while before playing our tournament and told le on several occasions that the difference is huge. We didn't really know about this, but now we do. We will try to provide better monitors for our next event. | ||

But at the very least imo tournaments should inform players well in advance what sort of monitors they are using. As I said, I think one can get used to playing on a monitor with a lower refresh rate, but I can definitely see it being really annoying if you go into a tournament and only then you realize what monitors they have and the first game you play is an official game. If you inform the players beforehand they can adjust their monitors at home accordingly and get used to it a few days in advance if they wish to do so. | ||

She is considered very good because she shows initiative, cares about the players, and tries really hard. Whether her mandarin is good or not is irrelevant. The players and staff understand her and she does a good job with her role. Maybe her title should be liason, or communicator, or something instead of translator, but whatever you call it she's fantastic at her job and deserves all the credit she gets. There's a million people who can speak manadarin and english that would not make good translators. | ||

Yeah Yeah, she did a lot besides translation so she's far more than just a translator, and she absolutely deserves huge credit for that. But I'm just saying on the translation front, her mandarin is pretty unnatural, the wording and pronunciation sometimes is confusing. | ||

I thought her mandarin was fine and I'm a native speaker, she's obviously very lacking in vocabulary which one would expect from non-indigenous speakers but generally I think she did a good job conveying both sides. | ||
