In sports, China is always having two destined enemies, one is Japan, another is Korea. We will not talking about Japan now, but Korea. Korea is a neighbor country of China, and they are always winning us in sports, for example, we had been losing Korea team for 32 years in football.

In people's impressions, Warcraft III China Team as strong as they in Table Tennis. Therefore, you will know why the fans were so angry on 2016's China Team.

However, when we are recalling the result in history, what we said just know is not true.


Beginning: Is too hard for "the King" Sky to carry the whole team, get 0 in the first battle


In the beginning of Warcraft III, we had only Sky got the good result in the international tournament, the others were still having a big gap between the greatest players, even Xiaot and Suho. On the other hand, Korea Team were having the four king of Undead, Moon, Zacard, absolutely an All-Star team.

In the first battle, China Team got a fiasco. In 2006, StarsWar2, China Team's members were Sky, Suho, wNv.XiaoT, Gstar, GuangMo, but they lost the game to Korea Team with 6-0, and there were Moon, FoV, Zacard, Lucifer, Sweet, in Korea Team. The big gap let Chinese felt hopeless.

StarsWar2's result

StarsWar3 was held half year after StarsWar2, China Team had improved much, when they were facing the Korea Team without Moon, Lucifer and Fov, China Team lost to Korea Team by only one point, and won the this tournament with the higher win rate(Korean Team lost the series to Europe Team).

StarsWar3's result

As you can see, in the beginning of Warcraft III, China Team were having a big gap to Korea Team.


Golden age: Lot of great players showed in Korea, WE members got their first win


In 2007, Warcraft III were having a lot of tournaments, and there were a lot of freshmen showed themselves. The WE Chinese members, Fly100%, TH000 started to carry the team, in 2007 StarsWar4, both China Teams were having well play, they won Korea team in group stage, however, they lost in the elimination stage at the same time, lost the chance for the champion.


StarsWar 4's result

Expect StarsWar, another popular tournament was the PPS clan war between China vs Korea. In this tournament, China Team won Korea Team for the first time.

In 2008 PPS 3 clan war, China Team got the big win against Korea Team, resulting 8-3, meanwhile, Infi got the champion in the single competition, this was a big time for China Team.

PPS 3

However, although this is the time for Infi, TH000, Fly100%, Sky, China Team still was the disadvantaged team. After two years, Sky was injured, and made the arrangement orderless.

StarsWar 5


The underrated team win always, 2016's China Team got a big punch.


After 2010, Warcraft III was becoming unpopular, a lot of players chose to change to another game or retire, only the Chinese players kept active in this game. When WCG said they were stopping this tournament, Korean players chose to go to duty, only Chinese players were playing this game, Chinese become the main melody of this game.

After that, 2016's China Team went to the battle against Korea Team. And all of us know what happen in this battle, the underrated Korea team got the big win with Lyn's unbelievable performance, even worse, this Korea Team was not the strongest Korea Team, and China Team was having TH000, Infi. In this moment, Chinese were having bad days.

Total points:


Conclusion: China Team result is worse than Korea Team in team competition


Korea is a kingdom of E-Sports, so it is the goal of China in E-Sports. For China, Warcraft III was the proud and the one of few games that Chinese can win against Korean. However, the team competition result is showing we are the disadvantaged team although we have great result in single competition, even in the last few years of WCG, the time that Chinese were having big time in Warcraft III.

韩国胜 means Korean Won, 中国胜 means Chinese Won

Tomorrow, NeXT Warcraft III clan war China vs Korea will start the play, China team was underestimated because the last clan war and patch 1.30. Anyway, let's support the representative players of China, we hope they will have a good play in Guang Zhou.
