After the announcement on Weibo today, 15sui and Romantic officially started to play for Team LP. 15sui, also known as 14sui and 生者 on Liquipedia and in China, he is a very young player from China. Since he is always called as "生者", so let us explain for you the meaning of these words.

生 means living, pronouns as "sheng". And 者 is a suffix right here, like '-er', '-ist', pronouns as "zhe". However, according to the Official Announcement by Team LP, they set his ID as 15sui. I guess we may change our habit and call him as 15sui in the future.

HuG's out from the offline! Colorful and Linguagua for the last spot.

After the games yesterday, we have the top 4 for the Pro division and Open division in the WGL May qualifier. And today, we are going to have the Finals of the Open division

Since HuG was defeated and dropped from the May qualifier, he became completely no chance for the offline stage. At the same time, Colorful and Linguagua are both qualified as the second place from their group.

According to WGL the points system, Colorful and Linguagua are tied with same points. Both of them are having 30 points (including May Ladder). Which means the games today will decide that who will get the last Chinese spot of WGL offline stage. According to the points system, the first place will get 4 points, and the second place will get 3 points, but the third and fourth place will get 2 points (there are no match for third in monthly qualifier).

Yesterday, while TH000 was streaming, he predicted that both of them will lose to their opponent in Semi Finals, and we will have an additional game for the last spot.

Was TH000 DUNAI-ing? Or it is a good prediction? Let's stay with your favourite casters and watch the game later!

1. Life forfeited the qualification of NeXT Spring, Lyn will replace him to play in the offline event.
2. H&W’s Result: Moon vs Lawliet, and Life vs Sok.
3. Announcement of the games today!

Life forfeited the qualification of NeXT Spring, Lyn will replace him to play in the offline event.

On the last Saturday(18th May), Life said he wanted to give up before the game versus eer0. Luckily, after he got the advice from Infi’s wife, eer0 and other friends, Life came back to the game and won the chance to the offline tournament.

One day after, the last Sunday(19th May), Life was late to the NeXT Online Qualifier, but he was in the Top 6, so he still could be in the offline event. Somehow, when the official staff was discussing with him for buying the ticket of the venue, he refused to play once again.

Lyn won the additional game and replace Life to play in the offline event.

After all, NetEase made a decision, they let eer0 and Lyn to play an additional game, and the winner can get the chance to the offline event. The Game was started at yesterday 04:00pm (20th May, GMT+8), and Lyn won eer0 with 2:1. At last, Lyn will replace Life to play in the offline event.

Life wants to terminate the contract with Team RW.

Actually, this is not the first time that Life refused to play in the game. In 2016, the offline of Boss of Warcraft (aka 老板杯), Life was trying to leave the venue after he lost the previous game. In these few years, he also gave up the games in Douyu Cup, XiaoY Cup unreasonably a few times.

Moreover, after the case yesterday, Life said he wants to terminate the contract with Team RW (Rogue Warrior). Until now, we haven’t seen any response from Team RW, we will keep paying attention and following to this case.

H&W: Moon vs Lawliet, and Life vs Sok.

Yesterday, we had H&W China vs Korea Masters Group stage 2, Group B.

Besides the games against Human, Moon was still unbeatable in this month, and it’s still happening yesterday. Especially in the second set on TM (Twisted Meadows), Moon was scouting very good, he also built up his expansion and the Ancient of Wind in the right timing. The whole games was very desperate for Lawliet.

Life came back in the game after so many issues.

Although Life was having so much problems yesterday, but he still held the game and won the game against Sok. It is worth mentioning that, when TH000 and Infi were casting about this game, they were surprised that Sok chose Amazonia as his loser map. In their opinion, Amazonia is the worst map for Human when the Human playing against Night Elf in this patch.

Announcement of the games today!

We will continue H&W China vs Korea Masters, the Group Stage 2 today! Lyn vs Infi for the first ticket of Offline; and Focus vs eer0, the loser will be out from H&W.

Here is the Link of the full bracket(Liquipedia).

In the W-league playoffs, TH000 won W-League with his powerful strength with defeating the king of the Orcs, Lyn, the great Undead player, 120, and the Legendary Night Elf player, Moon. He also proved that he is "the ceiling of Warcraft III." And now, we are having an interview with TH000, how is he thinking about this tournament, and switching the race? Let take a look.

Q: Hi, TH. You won Moon in the final once again. It seems that Moon is hard to win you in the Finals. Do you think so?

TH000: My chances will be bigger in the final. In the final, my preparation before the game, my mentality and physical condition will be better. In fact, my win rate in the finals is very high, no matter who my opponent is. Meanwhile, Moon has been in the finals many times as well, so the win rate looks good for me.

Q: How did you prepare for the W league playoffs?

TH000: I have recently made a lot of preparations for this patch. W League is the second major tournament and the first offline event for this patch. Basically, beside eat and sleep, I am streaming, playing on ladders, ask others to practice with me, watching all the replays. At the same time, I analyzed the meaningful games very carefully.

In this time, I was still focusing on NE vs ORC, when this patch just released, I was not particularly good when I played against Orcs, I was much worse than Infi and Moon. So I worked more in my own weaknesses.

Q: How did you feel when you knew you were in the upper half with eer0, Sok and Lyn? Do you think the position of Infi is better?
TH000: Actually it's almost the same. In this patch, 6S+Focus+Lawliet is still relatively strong. The win rate between us will be like 60%-40% or 50%-50%. It is not particularly important that you meet which player, the more important thing is who can perform with our own strength by the time.

Remark: 6S means 6 super players, which means Infi, TH000, Moon, Lyn, Fly100%, eer0.

Q: You chose Night Elf to play against Lyn when you met him in the First Round. However, before this game you said that Night Elf is the weaker side in NE vs ORC; and the players such as Infi, Chaemiko and HawK have won HU vs ORC many times. Why did't you choose Human, which may be having the higher win rate? Do you think Human is harder than Night Elf when they are playing against Orcs?
TH000: I think both races are almost the same, but for non-top players, Night Elf is more difficult to play now (when playing against Orcs).

And why I didn't choose Human to play, because I am more disadvantageous in this patch. First, I can't choose Fire Lord first. In my understanding, Fire Lord > Blade Master, Far Seer > Fire Lord, Archmage > Far Seer, and Blade Master > Archmage. This is the main reason why I now reject HU vs ORC. Night Elf more tactical details that can be developed, so I want to use Night Elf to play. If there is one day, I've developed all the Night Elf's strategies, and the winning rate is still lower than 50%, I might go to practice the Fire Lord's Tower Rush.

Q: Previously, 120 stopped your winning streak in NE vs UD, so do you have confidence to get the revenge before the game? How did you adjust your mentality and strategies to play against 120?
TH000: Before we played, I think it is a close game, the win rate would be like 50%-50%. In the last WGL qualifier, it was the first time that I played against 120 and his expanding strategies. So I had't made a specialized for it. The main adjustment I made is I sent 3 wisps to the Gold Mine and detonated on there, and stopped him to creep the Gold Mine. In fact, I wanted to try and see the effect only, my mentality was relatively relaxed.

Q: Previously, 120 stopped your winning streak in NE vs UD, so do you have confidence to get the revenge before the game? How did you adjust your mentality and strategies to play against 120?
TH000: Before we played, I think it is a close game, the win rate would be like 50%-50%. In the last WGL qualifier, it was the first time that I played against 120 and his expanding strategies. So I had't made a specialized for it. The main adjustment I made is I sent 3 wisps to the Gold Mine and detonated on there, and stopped him to creep the Gold Mine. In fact, I wanted to try and see the effect only, my mentality was relatively relaxed.

Q: Can you analyze for us about the Finals? How did you come back in the disadvantaged opening? Which game is the most impressive for you in this series? Why?
TH000: In the first set on NI, he didn't train Glaive Throwers, so I didn't have any disadvantages in the whole set. I even had an advantage when I pulled down the Ancient of Protector.

On TM, the most important thing is I expanded on the island. Then, I had 70 supply of high-quality troops and he had 70 supply of mass Dryads. Even though my heroes' levels is 3 levels lower than him, I still could win with the micro in the direct fight.

The game on EI is the most impressive game for me. There were countless chances for me to type out gg by the time, but I didn't take it. In the last fight, I used 80 supply of troops to fight against his 70 supply of mass Dryads, and I fell behind 3 levels in heroes' levels. But I won! I feel so amazing, it is still amazing after watching the replay after the game~

Q: Let's talk about this tournament. What do you think about the W league playoffs? Are you looking forward to the second season?
TH000: W-League offline tournament is very good, I am looking forward to the second season.

Q: Let's talk about some relaxed topics. What happen make you feel unforgettable in this time?
TH000: Every single victory is hard to forget~ but it is not easy at all. Can you give me a weaker opponent next time?

Q: This year is the year of Warcraft III Reforged edition, and it may be also the beginning of the revival of Warcraft III. There will be many offline games as well. In the first half of the year, are you confident to complete the epic of 6 consecutive championships (W League, NeXT, H&W, WCG Chinese qualifier, WCG Finals, WGL)?
TH000: Stop DUNAI on me again. I feel thankful if I can get another championship.

Remark: DUNAI: There is a situation when someone is confident and proclaim someone definitely win the game, but after his announcement, the situation reversed, the situation is considered as DUNAI in china.

Q: Last question, what is your opinion on the patch 1.31?
TH000: Undead is buffed too much, and Fire Orb is buffed too much. But I still expect that the official patch 1.31 will be more balanced than the PTR.

Translator: GLH

After a long wait, patch 1.30.4 was finally updated on Netease platform.
Let's see how TH000 talk about the changes.

We made a summary about what TH000 said in the video.

1. Kotg+Alchemist combo may be disappeared.

Kotg's cast range is reduced, and the damage of Alchemist's Acid Bomb is weakened, these changes made these two heroes weaker than patch 1.30.1, at the same time, Night Elves may play with Demon Hunter first or Warden first, probably Panda Second.
Kotg may be summoned only on the map that easy to get to level 3.

2. Spell Breakers get a really big buff.

When Human faces the summoning heroes, once it comes to the Tier 2, then Spell Breaker will play an unparalleled role. The Water Elemental of the Archmage, the Wolves of the Far Seer, the Skeletons of the Undead, and the Treants of the Kotg will basically be useless, and Human will be very strong in direct fight.

At the same time, the Dispel of Priests will no longer matter.

3. Night Elves get nerfed in overall.

Besides Kotg and Alchemist, the Glaive Throwers, Huntresses, Mountain Giants get nerfed, this change will effect the game of Night Elf vs Orc and Night Elf vs Human.

For example, Huntresses's Owl has to be upgraded now, it will be influential when Night Elf is playing against Blade Master, if Night Elf wants to expand in Tier 1, the timing will be fixed, this make the Orc is easier to get the chance to harass.
The food cost of MG is increased, this change makes Night Elf be weaker when they are using this unit to play against Human, they may consider to use Bears and Dryads again.
For Night Elf Mirror, we may not see mass Glaive Throwers mirror again.

However, these changes may not effect Night Elf vs Undead, Night Elves may still keep bullying the Undeads.

4. Human players have to create the strategies with Blood Mage.

Flame Strike will be useful in direct fight, and you can also use it to kill Peasants and Peons, meanwhile, Alchemist is nerfed, Human players really need to create some strategies with Blood Mage.

5. Human can try to replace the Guard Towers with Cannon Towers, when they are playing against Undead.

Two Cannon Towers may be as strong as 7-8 Guard Towers, and you can spend the other resources on Flying Machines to fight against Destroyers. But, this is basing on that you can expand and finish the Workshop successfully.

6. Necropolis and Acolytes rush is useless now.

Seems Blizzard doesn't like this strategy.

7. The Orcs have to face their nightmare again.

The opponents will go to cancel the Orcs' buildings again.

Dec 5th is the first day of WGL's round 8 to 4 (Quarter Final), and we will have Fly vs Moon, and Lyn vs FoCuS.

Before the game, most of the audiences predict Lyn and Moon will win in this round, of course this is reasonable. In the last three days, Fly asked TH000 to practice with him, and the result is very terrible. Fly was defeated by TH with 5-29.

Unbeatable strategy

Fly was going crazy

Is there any secret of TH played against Orc...?

Nope, TH was using the same strategy, summon KOG first and expand in Tier 1, and go for double BR for mass Huntresses, Archers or Mountain Giants and Dryads.

However, this strategy let Fly went crazy, he couldn't find a solution for this. At the beginning, TH lost two rounds on CH, after that, TH started playing seriously with the unbeatable strategy. Sometimes there were MGs, sometimes there were mass Huntresses, and even the KOG killed Fly's hero in the early game. Fly only got some wins when TH used Talons.

When TH was laughing so hard, Fly was going crazy, and said, this may be the "most balanced" patch ever.

Orc needs a completely new strategy

As our experiences, all the players would kept the strategy in secret, sometimes there were some "smoke bombs".

In the games that Fly vs TH000's NE, Fly tried Blade Master, Shadow Hunter, Far Seer first, and tried different strategies, like Raiders, Walkers, Headhunters, or TC second with Shamans. We could see that Fly was trying so hard to find a new strategy for ORC vs NE.

Seems Shamans are not the solution

Currently, NE has four advantages: they have powerful control, large vision, and they can expand very easily, recover in short time.

Powerful Control: Entangle by KOG is a nightmare of Orc, we always see that KOG win the fight on a whole army.

Large Vision: The Owl (Sentinel) and Ultravision let NE has a very great vision in the game, Lawliet used this advantage to kill Focus' hero in the recent games.
If BM went to scout, he might be killed probably; if BM didn't go to scout, Orc would lose all the information on the map.

Expand Easily: In the previous patch, NE is hard to expand when they played against Orc, because BM's scout is just too good. But now, KOG is too strong, BM has to hide from KOG.

Recover Soon: The Moon Wells effect the situation so much. After a fight, the Orcs need to recover for long time, and NE can recover very soon, and they even can finish a big camp during Orcs are recovering.

Never give up

HUM'S TR may be harder than this

Although Fly lost so much time, he is still finding the solution. On War3 history, the Orc had gone though a lot of hard games, whether Tower Rush by HUM, or NE's Talons.

When Fly was streaming, he said this is harder than HUM's TR(tower rush) during that time. By the time, he practiced with Sky so much times, and he didn't get a win. Beast Master with Tier2 TR, Firelord TR, AM and MK with Tier 2 TR, and Fly has gone though these situation.

VS Moon

Fly may need miracle to win

It's sure that Moon's NE is stronger than TH's NE, it look impossible for Fly to win tonight.

After WCG 2006, Sky said he went crazy when he was practicing with TeD, resulting 1-8 or 2-10, he had no solution to play against the Crypt Fiends. However, when he played against Gostop, Sky went for Double Barrack and mass Footmen, and miracle happened.

Fly may need a counter strategy and hope that Moon made some mistakes.

So, let's see if there is a miracle.

After Blizzard published Warcraft III Reforged, the players and fans are so excited. New edition is meaning more games, more tournaments and different feeling. Now, we have TH000 here to talk about Reforged edition.

Q: Hi, TH, thank you for coming here, in this year, Reforged edition is the biggest news for War3, how do you feel about this?
TH: Finally!

Q: We can see a lot of pictures, video and drafts on the internet now, how do you feel with these?
TH: Nowadays, we have a lot of remastered edition, whether games or movies, these are the great news for the old fans. Before Blizzcon, my fans said:"it's would be nice if they draw it better, even if they did this only."After Blizzcon, I saw some people are doubting to the view. However, I think they will say very good when they get it.
By the way, BM looks so similar to Samuro, and the Dread Lord is so similar to Mal'Ganis(He is just making joke).

Q: Did you play the War3 Campaigns? Which character or story do you like the most?
TH: Of course I did, and I really like Hellscream, he killed two half-gods!

Q: Blizzard said they will make this game easier, and make the new player easier to play, what would you do that you can make more new players play Warcraft?
TH: In my opinion, the campaigns are really easy to the new players, and you can choose the level, conquering a game with difficulty will have a sense of accomplishment right? And, if you want to make more new players, this is not enough if Blizzard just update the game, they have to host more big tournaments, with prizes.

Q: In you career, which moment is most impressive to you?
TH: PGL'08, I defeated Moon and won my first world championship.

Q: WGL offline tournament is coming soon, you are in the group of death, with Lyn, WFZ, Foggy, and other great players, do you have any idea to win?
TH: Don't think about the champion first, just play it step by step, be patient.

Q: May you analyze the situation about the other groups for us?
TH:
In group A, 120 will be qualified for sure, for others, I think Lawliet has the biggest chance.
For Group B, we have two Chinese players only, but I think they will be qualified too.
And Group C, Moon and Infi will be qualified, there is a big gap between others and them.
This prediction is absolutely accurate, I am not DUNAI!

Q: How do you feel with the new maps, CH and NI, do you think they are the more suitable than TR, AI for tournaments?
TH: This two maps are more balanced than TR and AI, but they are so similar to TS. I think we should make a big maps pool, and keep changing the maps, don't use the same maps always.

Q: In patch 1.30, Human are so hard in game, Infi and you always change the race to play against UD and Orc, will you do it in offline?
TH: I am going to choose NE to play against UD, but I will use Human to play against other races.

Q: In addition to the WGL, usually we host other tournaments too, and our schedule is full in this month. As a player, what kind of tournament do you like the most? Do you have any suggestion for tournaments nowadays?
TH: As a player, a professional event organization, a reasonable schedule, a popular tournament, and a highly prized competition, these are the most attractive points for me. However, War3 is hard to do thess nowadays, we play if we have any interest in playing.
Luckily we have some sponsors, it's better for players if we have more tournaments, if they can bring together and make a great tournament, it may be better.

Q: you are the streamer and player, so you have to take care of streams and games at the same time, how do you arrange your time between streaming and training? What is the biggest effect from streaming to a player?
TH: When I am streaming, ladder is enough for me to keep my hand in state. When the big tournament is coming soon, I will practice some special strategies, and keep thinking, sometimes I continue training after I turn off streaming.
If you started streaming, your details and ideas will be researched, this is the disadvantage for all streamer.

Q: According to the announcement, Reforged edition will be available next year, what do you want to say to the fans about Reforged edition?
TH: 2019 Jan 1st to 2019 Dec 31st are called "next year", wait patiently everyone!
