fantastic interview. The only thing that might have been better left unsaid was EE's explanation of why FATA was better than sing, out of courtesy to sing sing. I honestly have no idea how someone could get offended at any of the other answers.

He hates Xiao8's decision, because EE is a engineering student from a prestigious Canadian university with decent marks. Guaranteed a well paying job.
Even though he is quite successful in dota2, the rewards are still not worth it considering the risks he took.

So why did he do it? Because he loves the game.

Xiao8 on the other hand was never sacrificing anything to play the game, his income is still far far higher than the average chinese of his age, even without winning TI4.
Why did he quit then? Because he lost his love for the game. With monetary needs satisfied, there is nothing left.

Nothing wrong from an outsider's perspective, but for EE, he has the right to dislike Xiao8.

Also, for the people complaining about EE being too honest, have you people been tortured by PR drivel for so long that you obtained stockholm syndrome? Dota hasn't been corrupted by PR yet, if you want PR responses everywhere please go back to wherever you came from.

i doubt most of you dislike the person for any legitimate reason outside brain-washed standards of formality. yeah he isn't your typical formal, respectful guy, but why do you care? the fact you can hate the guy for being blunt goes to show how messed up our society is. he could be hitler for all i cared and i'd still value his honesty over lying in order to conform to some in-congruent fake identity, all in order to seek approval and maintain a manipulated image by the industry.

its so hilarious how hypocritical the majority of society is. you guys treat honest arrogance worst than the previous negative stigma's attributed to gays, and racists. we're all for free speech and acceptance right? anyone who can dislike a person for being honest seriously needs to get their head checked. you have more underlining issues and double-standards than the person you're criticizing. it's the sheep who want to keep everyone in line, to conform to a norm, those who are outspoken and different must be crucified. it's more of a reflection of your lopsided disgusting mentality than it is the person you're criticizing. i don't care if i'm muted, or banned, as long as i speak the truth.

it's HIS OPINION, why would you get offended? we all have our own opinions on who is better than who. i'd rather hear his judgment than a guy willing to repress his voice due to losing approval from society. yeah walk on egg shells your whole life, in fear of disapproval from the opinion of the masses.

Looking at people fighting hard for more "PR and communication" bullshit rather than a frank and transparent speach, what the hell ? Whatever I will never get it anyway.

Really great interview, I'm a huge fan of EE after I watched an interview of his for the first time. I love that he is blunt but, imo, doesn't speak out of line. Could do with more people with opinions like he does to keep everything lively ^_^

He wants to raise a family with his wife and build up China's amateur scene. Where did you get your baseless judgment from?

Refreshing interview, I admire people who tell it like it is. Although I disagree with him on xiao8, he's at a different stage in life anyways (marriage), he's blunt without being over the top. Keep them coming.

you can't expect a CEO and a player to answer the same way. Alex Garfield directly has to deal with the sponsors and is held to a different standard than any player. Not to mention the entire interview with him was HotBid trying to get him to say something. Which is also why he always refuses to do interviews.

Which of course makes the interview extremely boring and is why Alex Garfield doesn't do interviews...

Maybe better analogy would be almost every Korean sc2 player except mc and his gang.
the throws never bothered me anyway
