Breaker, I blame you that I'm hungry now and searching for recipes for Chili Chicken...

Nice interview! I still know XiGua from WC3 days! Great times!

I'm surprised no one sympathises with this:

XiGua:The happiest... That should be the days when I was practicing with my teammates in WC3, because those days it was really really cool. 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.


It sounds ridiculous.

Just wanna point out that

The things that Chinese players will strive for really are too few.


May sound a little misleading - Xigua meant that Chinese players have very little [tournaments] to strive for due to internet issues.

Dang, dem Chinese players all seem to have such a good work morale, and also always so mannered! And XiGua has a really cool personality on top of that typical Chinese go-get-it attitude. Really hope he and Macsed does well in WCS
Sad that no western teams haven't picked any Chinese players up yet.. I wonder if there are visa-difficulties or some type of politics / policy involved. I'm thinking like, maybe it would be too hard for a team to get a Chinese player out of China to play tournaments or something.
You must learn to allow patience and stillness to take over from anxiety and frantic activity... The good player is patient. He is observant, controlling his patience, and organizing his composure. When he sees an opportunity, he explodes.

Technically, Dignitas does still throw out Dream in the occasional team league. So that's something.

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.


Wow, dem feels. Really like XiGua. Honest, down to earth and seems optimistic. GL to him in the ro16!

"苦" literally means bitter. You're confusing it with 酷, same sound. (ku)
In context, he says it was very tough -> 7 ppl 2 beds etc.

I should keep a hand-written journal in Chinese. Would make me both more literate and more sensible. I've gotten lazy since I graduated.

The only objection I have to that statement is that Dream was studying for his undergraduate degree in the UK while he was on Dignitas if I'm not mistaken. A lot of pro players for any eSports game title from China will quit once they finish studying for their undergraduate degree.

Man, this guy seems really cool. I really like his last remark, that putting a lot of time into sc2 is not a waste of time.
