Me:可以给我们介绍一下你的背景？你什么时候成为职业选手？
XiGua:大家好,我是iG战队战队XiGua,我06,07年曾经做过2年魔兽争霸职业选手,sc2是09年开始成为职业选手的
Me:瓜哥，我本人很惊讶了。你升级的那一瞬间，你怎么感觉了？
XiGua:到了27岁这个年纪,我已经忘记年轻时胜利的冲动和喜悦了.说实话,年纪大了.可能淡定得多了.
Me: 可以跟我们说一下你职业电竞上最开心的那一天呢？什么事发生了？
XiGua:最开心的应该是打魔兽和队里的队友一群训练的时候,因为当时很苦很苦.我们有7个人,但是只有2个床.大家都为了出成绩,刻苦的练习,我很多时候都是靠着椅子上睡觉,醒了洗把脸刷牙接着练.但是这种感觉真的很奇妙,特别特别开心..后来拿到魔兽争霸3WCG全国第2..
Me: 据说中国的父母对职业电竞的展元不好了。。。你的家对你的职业怎么感觉？
XiGua:他们都是开放式教育,所以对我也挺放心的..但是其他中国选手就不一定能开心的打电竞到这么大的岁数了.我也很期待中国电竞能得到释放.给大家见识到更多的中国选手.
Me: 你最喜欢的菜是什么？我本人很喜欢四川辣子鸡丁和夫妻肺片，甚至每一次想到四川口味，口水流起来。
XiGua:四川火锅吧,还有很多好吃的东西.要是你来四川了,我会让你流更多的口水下来..
Me: 你最喜欢的演员是谁？歌手呢？
XiGua:演员周星驰.歌手周杰伦..他们都是人生起伏很大,很有个性,而且都是靠实力拼出来的,实力超群..我喜欢这样的明星.
Me: 除了SC2之外，你打其他游戏吗？
XiGua:说实话,我对其他游戏的热情不会超过1个星期,每次放松玩其他游戏.我都会觉得枯燥和乏味.不是因为太简单,就是因为不能成为主宰者.我喜欢当一个指挥者的感觉.虽然年纪上来了.但是我还是不喜欢输的感觉..
Me: 你觉得中国有一个愿意住在国外，长期跟一个欧美SC2团队培训的选手吗？
XiGua:肯定肯定的会有,而且更多的欧美选手可能更愿意找韩国选手吧?因为网络问题,中国选手能争取的东西实在是太少了,欧美俱乐部根本不知道中国有很多选手是有多刻苦,有多少的能耐.在我看来不管是欧美选手也好,韩国选手也好,他们只是比中国选手的环境好罢了.没有什么特别突出的天才存在..非常期待能有一个中国选手能去欧美线下战队训练.打破魔兽以来的不变的定律吧.
Me: 你有个特别很不喜欢的对手吗？
XiGua:没有吧?每天和韩国选手练习,经历多了,也就不觉得有什么了.
Me: 我记得2013年的WCS，你两次打了WCS NA。今年你总算升级了线下部分。Ro16开始时候，你有个特别不想打得玩家？大概你的队友MacSed？
XiGua:中国选手和虫族我都不想打,我一直都不怎么会打Z vZ..Macsed还没有打完.但是我觉得他一定会晋级..
Me: 你有什么话想跟西方朋友说吗？
XiGua:我很热爱sc2,即使以后退役了,也会继续热爱sc2.也请大家继续关注sc2..不要因为它太困难就轻言放弃.反而它也能锻炼你的毅力.培养你的性格.也会对你也许多帮助.

me: Could you introduce yourself and your background to us? And when did you become a pro gamer?
XiGua:Hello everyone, I am Invictus Gaming's XiGua, in 2006 and 2007 I played professional Warcraft 3. I made the switch to SC2 in 2009 and became a pro player.
me: XiGua bro, I was really suprised [by him advancing]. How did you feel when you advanced [out of your group]?
XiGua: I'm 27 years old... I've already forgotten the feeling of being young and getting excited and filled with joy. To tell the truth, I'm old. I stay calm a lot.
me: Could you tell us the happiest day of your life as a pro gamer? What happened?
XiGua:The happiest... That should be the days when I was practicing with my teammates in WC3, because those days it was really really bitter. There were seven of us altogether but only two beds. Everyone was practicing very very hard to produce results. A lot of the time I was leaning on my chair sleeping. Then I would just wake up wash my face shower brush my teeth and just continue practicing. This kind of feeling was wonderful, I was really really happy. Afterwards I took second prize in WCG's nationals for WC3.
me:It is said that in China parents don't have a good outlook towards eSports. How does your family feel about your career?
XiGua: They are both open-minded and educated, so they place a lot of trust in me. But other Chinese players can't happily compete to my age. I really hope that one day eSports in China can be liberated from this stigma. It would give more sensibility to chinese players.
me: What's your favorite food? I really like Sichuanese Food, Spicy Chicken Bits and especially a dish known as Fu Qi Fei Pian. Every time I think of these foods my saliva starts flowing.

XiGua: I really like Sichuanese Hot Pot and a lot of other delicious things. If you come to Sichuan I'll make you even hungrier.

me: Who is your favorite actor? What about singers?
XiGua: My favorite actor is Stephen Chow, and my favorite singer would have to be Jay Chou. They both moved up really high in life and both of them really have personality. Adding to that, they both had to put all of their effort in to their work to come out on top - outstanding strength. I like these kinds of superstars.

me: Besides SC2, do you play any other games?
XiGua: To tell the truth, I can't be passionate with any other game for more than a week. Every time I relax and play another game I start to think they are dry, tedious, and uninteresting. They are either too simple or it's because I can't be dominating in the game. I like to be a commander, that kind of feeling. Even though I'm quite the senior, I still don't like that lost feeling.
me: Do you think China will ever have a player that is willing to live and train abroad with western team?
XiGua: Absolutely, there must absolutely be at least one player out there. But at the same time western teams are more willing to take Korean players, right? The things that Chinese players will strive for really are too few... American and European teams simply don't know China has many players that are very arduous, and are quite capable. The way I see it, it doesn't matter if the Europeans and Americans are good, it doesn't matter if the Koreans are good, its just that their training environment is better. There is nothing particularly outstanding or talented in existence... And I'm really looking forward to the day that a Chinese player joins an American or European team for training. Let's break the post-WC3 status quo!
me: Do you have a particularly unliked player? [here I mean as a rival]
XiGua: I guess not. Every day I practice with Koreans [on ladder], I never thought anything of them.
me: I remember in WCS NA 2013 you competed twice. This year you finally advanced to the offline portion. When the Round of 16 begins, is there anyone in particular that you don't want to play against? Maybe your teammate macsed?
XiGua: The Chinese players and other zergs I really don't want to play against. I always seem to perform poorly in ZvZ. And Macsed hasn't finished his run in the Rond of 32 yet. But I think he is certain to advance.
me: Is there anything else you would like to say to western friends?
XiGua: I really love Starcraft 2. Even if I retire later, I will continue to love SC2. Also everyone please continue to support SC2. don't give up just because the game is too difficult. On the contrary, the game will train your perseverance. It will raise your personality. It may also even help you.
