Get to know your WCS players: China Edition

Interviews by monk and digmouse.

We continue our series of interviews with WCS America Challenger League players, this time looking across the ocean to China. Yesterday we had Jim and Top, today we have MacSed and XY!

What SC2 unit represents you best, and why?
Oracle, subtle and vile.

Who is your favorite player and why?
Rain, he is very solid and is very good at making comebacks.

One thing you would change about StarCraft II.
Ignite Afterburners now requires 50 energy.

Form a team with any other 5 players, not including those currently on your team.
Flash, Rain, Soulkey, Life, INnoVation.

Who will win Season 1 of AM, EU, KR?
Soukey for KR, aLive for AM, I can't really say for EU.

Name some movie titles that describe your style

[image loading]
Most notable accomplishment/Proudest moment in SC2
At the beginning of my career, I was able to win for my clan in a ace opportunity in a clan war. Though we eventually lost, I was really proud of that.

Your biggest strengths and weaknesses as a player?
I'm good at multitasking but in direct engagements, I'm not strong enough.

What SC2 unit represents you best, and why?

Who will win Season 1 of AM, EU, KR?
INnoVation wins KR, and I believe EU and AM will be won by Korean players as well.

If you could play in AM or EU without lag, which would you pick?
AM.

How many years would it take for China to become the best in the world at StarCraft II if it were an Olympic sport?
It's too far to reach tbh.

What did you think of your last match against (P)Hellokitty?

At least he is being realistic.
I wouldn't say never, but at least a decade under the most ideal conditions.
The foreign scene as a whole can catch up in half the time, but to say a single region can catch up in a year or two is unrealistic.
Even with a population and great eSports infrastructure like China, I don't see them ever getting there.

Why would it sadden you? It seems pretty reasonnable that youngsters don't know about those things. They never had to use them in the first place.

Random question: What's the correct name for the CD thingy? We in Germany called it "Discman", but I'm not sure that this is the real english name (just like the germans say "handy" for mobile phone)...

Floppy discs, walkmen and VHS tapes are not that old c'mon...

I'm almost 25 and I used all of them during my childhood, taping DBZ episodes because they would air on TV during class time. The first thing I would do when I got back home was to eagerly rewind the tape and hope I had programmed the VHS correctly!

Kids from the 2000 are spoiled brats!

it's hard to judge what's the standard for "the best in the world" though.
Jim is currently one of the top Kr ladder players.
I think another chinese player is around rank 20 Kr GM.
with such strong players leading the competition, I won't be surprised to see China catchup if the game was more popular.
not to mention how ridiculously fast China is improving when it comes to olympics, they are starting to get gold in swimming where it is normally dominated by the western countries like Australia.

Well, there is actually some good Zerg in China.
The Better of them are Xigua, Comm and Toodming.
And ZooCourage made it quite far in the NA qualifier.
Not to forget the most popular guy in the Chinese SC2 scene, F91.
