I'm reading through the original thread too, some things missing from OP (I think these are more recent updates):

1) Scarlett's guide apparently felt that she was somewhat impolite? Chinese OP says he didn't follow up w/ the guide but he got no such impression from her, so it might have been a misunderstanding.

2) Apparently they used internet accelerators (?) that have a trial period of 3 days, and when Inno's expired (since he started training on KR), he was able to buy a 1 month extension w/o talking to his guide/translator, showing that he actually knows a fair bit of chinese

3) Scarlett also knew about Huya (a chinese streaming service) and was able to search her way to it w/o a translator. So she also knows passable chinese.

4) What does Inno think of Lv Bu? Inno knows 3 kingdoms and knows his nickname, really likes it!! Aww. A few years ago, he apparently said he preferred Cao Cao (the leader of a different faction and probably one of the most wily strategists in the war, at least long term), but Inno no longer feels this way. Chinese OP is slightly sad, since Lv Bu is an idiot and asshole in 3 kingdoms lol*

5) He talks a bit about the chinese contestants too: IA is always practicing, but Time and [Mac?]sed are almost never there. When Macsed is there, he's sometimes soloqueueing DOTA. Seems like commentators also hung out (dinner, socializing) a lot w/ the chinese players, which probably contributed to a lack of practice and no Chinese players in the Ro8. He didn't get to talk much to Has, but Has was generally practicing and not very talkative.

* - To be specific, he tells Inno to be like the Lv Bu from his best battle (where he 1v2s against two of the top generals in the non-Lv-Bu tier and even escapes after one more general joins the fray) and not the one where he beats his own armymen and gets betrayed.

Ahhh, I miss RTK lore, it's all so epic lol

Thanks so much for this thread!

Inno's description is actually just what someone would expect from him. Also, the fact that he frequently watches League matches haha guess LoL will always be a shadow following him. At least that must mean he'll support his brother a lot when he debuts (or.. mock him when he loses, whatever is more likely)
