Thanks for this. I love learning about top players from other countries. Are there any interviews from the Love(?) clan? Those guys are pretty good too.

he was a very promising, upraising player back in WC3 beating many topstars and then he suddenly disappeared. Glad to see him back in the scene and good Luck to him.
keep it deep! @zulison

For those of you curious about his alias, XiaoT is short for XiaoTemplar, which means little templar (Since he considers himself to be short). This was his original alias in BW, then he carried it over to WC3. Now to SC2! :D

Haha, exactly what I thought :D

Because he was orc in wc3. Everyone knows Orc players turn into Toss players.

Had the potential to be the best player ever in wc3, itll be great seeing what he can do in sc2.

That's why Lyn is Toss?

Bullshit about oGs. Unless this is a mis-translation.


Oh please, their 16 hour training regimen is known far across the lands.

Practice time is 12 to 4, dinner, then 7 to 11, then free time until 3 am, but they mostly use that time to play.

Awesome interview. I like the fact that his team practises 8-10 hours a day. Comparing that to Idra's 3-4 hrs/day, over time I think we'll see a massive rise in sick killer Chinese players.


Idra practices 14hr/day. He told me that.

Don't believe it. I remember IdrA saying that the amount is counter-productive since he learned it the hard way back when he was a SC1 pro in Korea. He practices half the amount now unless there's a tournament coming up.

IdrA said recently on OneMoreGame that he and Machine do 3-4 hours a day on average.

Yess, it is so so great to have someone from China take a strong hand in the Esports community. He also recently beat Idra 2-0 in a very convincing series a few days ago. Please,, xiaOt become the next great brotoss! All us chinese american protosses are rooting for you!
