Sok's improving so much recently, and he has become one of the strongest Human player in the world after winning Fly100%, Moon and FoCuS and got the third place in Yule Cup. For Sok, I am afraid that we don't know him very well, so let us talking with him and try to know him.

Q: Hello Sok, thank you very much for accepting our interview. First of all, let's say hello to everyone!

Sok: Hello everyone, I am a Human player, Sok.

Q: Let's talk about your daily life. Because of your excellent dance performance, you have accumulated a lot of Chinese fans, so are you still teaching dance, or playing Warcraft III as full-time job?

Sok: Everyone seems to have misunderstood me. I am not a street dance teacher. I only taught primary school students how to stand upside down a long time ago... Nowadays I spend a lot of time for practicing Warcraft III.

Q: Recently, you won the third place in the Yule Cup, and this is your first time with excellent performance. How do you feel about this?

Sok: I am very happy to get into top three for the first time! I also did a lot of preparation and practice before the game, my effort gets paid!

Q: In fact, you were still struggling in the group stage a few months ago, and this time you reached into top three, how did you make such great progress?

Sok: As I mentioned above, the amount of practice and preparation for the game are more than usual, and I was lucky as well, the items were better than usual.

Q: You had used a few of special and interesting strategies to knocked down many famous players in this tournament. Are these tactics you think about yourself? Or is there a learning object?

Sok: In fact, LawLiet has helped me a lot, and I tried a lot of strategies when I was practicing with other race players, so I played better in this time. In addition, I also referred to the strategies and details of many other Human players, such as Infi, TH000, HawK, Chaemiko.

Q: Do you have any unique understanding of Blood Mage?

Sok: For Blood Mage, I saw Infi was using it, so I also tried to practice this hero, seems the effect is really good.

Q: Let's talk about the games. In this time, you won Moon with 3:1 in the BO5 series, but you lost to Foggy in the group stage with 0:2. There are many fans said that they were surprised about it. How do you think about them in Night vs Human? Are they having any difference? Or were you not perfect yet in the group stage?

Sok: I made some misjudgment when I was playing with Foggy, and the Foggy's offensive timing was particularly good, meanwhile, I think Foggy had the idea of ending the game in the early game, so I thought that the situation would be better after I held the attack, but in the end, I could not stop the attack. I will pay more attention to this when I play with him again in the future.

Q: Current, with the advent of the Reforged Edition, the professional e-sports system of Warcraft III has finally been established. How do you think of this? Are you considering to join a professional team?

Sok: I have been playing Warcraft III for ten years, and the news of releasing the remastered version is undoubtedly a great news, it also gave me the opportunity to play harder. For joining a team, definitely I want to join, but I just don't know if there is a chance for me.

Q: What do you think about the current balance? Do you think Human is weak? Which race do you think is the most IMBA?

Sok: I think Human is not weak, but their movement speed is slow, Human is weak in terms of operations. In addition to playing against the Orcs or Human, there are some restrictions on the strategies of fast tech and not expanding.

Q: With the outstanding performance in this time, many Chinese players and fans praise you as the future King of Human, may you talk to us about your future goals?

Sok: A King like Infi or TH000? I don't dare to be... I hope I can do my best to reach the highest standing I can be in the future.

Q: Finally, do you have anything to say to your fans?

Sok: My shape has a lot of ups and downs. When I am in good shape, I feel that I am playing well. But when my shape is bad, I will lose very easy. But I will work hard., I hope that everyone will not be too disappointed with me. Thank you.

In the Yule Cup final, 120 defeated Infi 4-3 to win the championship. In the last round, 120's acolyte scouting made a great achievements, but because of this, some people questioned about this scouting after the game. So what was in 120's mind at the time of the game?

Let's take a look at what 120 is saying.

Q: Hello, 120, first of all, thank you for accepting the interview of War3station, would you like to say hello to your fans first?

120: Hello.

Q: After a half-year low tide, you won the championship of Yule cup and returned to the throne like a formal king. What is your mood at this time?

120: Of course I am very happy for this, because I practiced a lot before the games, but still I had no confidence to win. After the game, I feel relieved.

Q: For this tournament, you said you had been practicing for 500 sets before the game. How did you do such a large amount of training for 1 week? Do you feel boring during the practice?

120: Originally, I had nothing to do at home recently, and I agreed to participate in an event which invited by NetEase, but I didn't go at last because of this tournament, and I wanted to study seriously the details in the game again, to see if I have the strength to win.

So recently I played against Night Elf on the ladder every day, if the ladder became very few players, I researched the details with Life. I didn't feel boring in the process, because if there is a detail that can be developed, I will try it in the next set. If it succeeds, I will be very happy.

Q: In the previous interview, you said there is only one advantaged map for Undead in the current maps pool. What is your understanding of map balance for current maps pool? What is the balance map in your opinion?

120: After a lot of tournaments, I found that the two new maps, NI and CH are simply Undead nightmares. It is really impossible to win against Night Elves and Orcs, especially their Air Force.

In patch 1.29, the most advantaged maps for Undead are AI and TR when play against Night Elf, but those two maps has been taken away, so the current maps pool is really bad for Undead.

95% of Night Elves will start with KotG first, so, Undead can hold in the game to the late game on TM, compared with other maps, TM is easier to play for Undead.

Q: In the Grand Final, you had a hard series, but you won the RW.Infi with Night Elf with 4:3 at last. What do you think of Infi's Night Elf? How is he different from several professional Night Elves in NE vs UD? In your opinion, Infi and other professional Night Elves, who is more difficult for you?

120: In current patch, this race is really suitable for Infi, including Moon, TH000. In this patch, Night Elf have to focus on their operation of economy and resources, so I think Infi = Moon> TH000 = Lawliet.

Q: In fact, in the last match, your acolyte scouting is very quintessential. Can you talk about the scouting? Why did you scout with that route?

120: After the patches change, UD vs NE has completely changed. Undead used to suppress against the Night Elves. But now, we are forced to expand and play the late game, so sometimes, it is more free when you are scouting.

If I say it is a process, I don’t know if I will be misunderstood, because there are 80% chances that the Acolyte will go back and expand.

When I started the game, I was thinking the game that when I was playing LawLiet, he chose to expand very early, and he had gained an advantage, so I think that Infi is also likely to play this way, and nowadays, the Night Elves basically are not creeping the 5-3-3 or Mercenary camp first. When I didn't scout him at the first two location I scouted, I was still a little panicked, so I had to make a choice, if I still didn't scout him, I would go expanding at the direction 4 o'clock.

Q: What do you think about Sok? You said that Sok has 50% chances to win you in the game, is that true?

120: I am looking forward about Sok, because I always practiced with him a year ago. He is a very powerful player when he was practicing, although his result is not very good in tournaments, but usually this kind of players will stand out sooner or later.

Q: Let's talk about some topics beside this tournament. What is your opinion on the Gargoyles? How do you think about the strategy of mTw.Lucifer, Dread Lord first, fast expand and mass Gargoyles?

120: Recently, I didn't see that Lucifer was playing against Night Elves with mass Gargoyles, at least I didn't see it. There are too many defects in this strategy. It is not a question of how he chose in the late game, but this strategy make Undead doesn't have too much space of micro[1].

Remark[1] by GLH: Space of Micro: It's a word I heard from Chinese players, when you have a good enough micro, the units with bigger space of micro will beat the units with smaller space of micro, for example: Mass Dryads could beat Mass Footmen, because Dryads have Slow and range attack, Mass Raiders could beat Mass Grunts, because Raiders has Ensnare.

Q: In the coming April, Happy will participate in an European offline tournament. There are Lucifer, Check, Chaemiko and Foggy as well, so are you optimistic about Happy?

120: Yes. I think Happy is a very stable player. Basically, he will not lose to the players who are weaker than him.

Q: Let us talk something relax: What is your favorite food? What is your favorite beverage? What is your favorite animal? What is your favorite plant? Which player do you want to meet and beat him in the game?

120:
Food: Potatoes
Beverage: Cola
Animal: cat
Plant: Prickly Pear
Player: I heard that TH000 is very eager to meet me. Hey Tolkien, you know how to do right?

Q: Ok, thanks again to Newbee.eer0 for an interview with War3station. What else do you want to say to your fans?

120: I am very happy that my audiences always support me when I am in the game. No matter how difficult Undead is, I will stick to this race. I will let you like Undead because of me, but not because Undead likes me.

Recently, Fly has faced so much strikes.

First of all, he was defeated in Group Stage at the recent major tournaments, after that, he had to face so many criticisms and accusations when he was streaming, and the audiences even taught him how to play.

In order to avoid this situation, the stream assistants of Fly banned many audiences who kept having aggressive comments, this kind of action was also resisted by a lot of audiences, and the audiences even criticized Fly on the Douyu Forum.

Fly also explained some recent things on the Forum very soon. For some of the problems pointed out by the audience, Fly said that he would accept it with humility, but he is more willing to follow his own mind. he doesn't want to be influenced by some the comments.

After reading the inner confession of Fly, we still wish that Fly can continue to play in Warcraft III, we are not seeking more brilliant results, but only the most enthusiastic battles and games.

It's his life, it should have been gone by himself.

The original reply from Fly on Forum:
(Translated by GLH)

I saw a lot of fans angry and made a lot of criticism in the forum.

Honestly, it is because Lie and my assistants know that I will be very sad after seeing the criticisms, but I can't play the games without watching it, so they banned very frequently during the game.

If there are audiences who can't stand with, you may go to other channels to watch my game. As for the audiences watching in my channel and can't help to stop making criticisms, I will consider to stop broadcasting during the game, or I may find some ways to avoid it, so that everyone feels good. On the other hand, you may say I am selfish, I want to make myself feel better when playing games as well.

Everyone was very angry and I can understand it. The question that everyone pointed is that I am noob now, I have never denied this. You said that I don't change hotkeys, or I am playing too risky, or I always leaves my unit at base. I just want to say that I really can't change some habits, but I will try to make it not affect my level, it is a mistake because I didn't do well enough.

You may say I am stubborn and unchanging, but there should be people like me in the world. I know there are some audiences, even a fan, you don't like me, you can't understand me, or you feel disappointed because of my characteristics, I can only say, I am sorry, but this is me, I hope at least, as a professional player, I can have my own persistence. If one day I change it, it is my own decision, but not forced. If I am coerced because of this, I would rather not play Warcraft III.

I know there are some friends may understand, but some can't, some people may think that I am the most unpopular streamer now, and some of them have become disappointed, they can't accept this, and they don't like me anymore, after they had followed me. Anyway, I still hope you can support other Warcraft III players.

Warcraft III is your youth, but also mine, and it's not only my youth, it's also my life. It's my life, I hope to go by myself, thank you.

The original reply from Fly on Forum:

看见很多水友在鱼吧很生气的做了很多批评。

说点心里话，都是因为烈哥跟房管知道我看弹幕容易心态不好，但是又不太忍得住打完一盘不看，所以在比赛期间封得很严。

如果忍受不了的水友可以某飞比赛的时候到别的解说直播间观看，至于要在某飞房间看又忍不住提出批评建议的，我会后面考虑是否比赛不开播或者一些办法来规避，让大家心情好受点，或者自私点说，让自己在打比赛的时候心情好一点。

大家被封了很气愤我也能理解，而大家提出的问题，是我现在变菜了，我从来没否认过这一点，你们说的不改键也好，极限也好，漏兵也好，我只想说，我确实改不了某些习惯，但是我会努力让它变得不影响我的水平，是我自己做的不够好才会出现的失误。

你们都会觉得我倔，不变通，但是世界上应该就是会有我这种人吧，不喜欢我，不能理解我，或者很失望的水友甚至是粉丝，我只能说很抱歉了，但是这个就是我，我最少希望，我作为职业选手的这段路，能拥有我自己的坚持，如果有天我改了，那也是我自己的决定，而不是被迫的，如果这样被胁迫，可能我确实宁愿不打war3了。

希望能理解的理解，不能的朋友，或者觉得是，我现在是气人主播，也是大家说的人气最低的主播，也就走完这段路，所以不喜欢我，失望的水友，不能接受的水友，希望你们多多支持别的魔兽选手。

魔兽是你们的青春，也是我的，甚至不仅仅是我的青春了，是我的人生，所以我的人生，我希望自己去走，感谢大家。

Remark [1] by GLH: Wargee is the company of War3station.

The W-League first season playoffs which hosted by War3station will be officially launched from May 11th to May 12th. The top 8 players who from China and South Korea will gather in Shanghai to compete for the title and 100,000 CNY.

The fascinating regular season had ended, and the playoffs, the more brutal battles have been raging. On the battle field, the wind is rising and the heroes are competing. In patch 1.30, the Night Elves swept and dominated on almost every battle field, and Moon was the leader who lead Night Elves became the king of this patch; TH000 and Infi, they was staying on the field with their switching race ability; 120&Lyn, the former kings was reluctantly holding in this war. Can the Chinese keep the championship in China? Will the Night Elves continue their dominating? All of these question will be solved in the playoffs.

W league playoffs will open for audiences to watch the game in the hall, please pay attention to our website, CNwar3. (Link: https://www.cnwar3.com/)

Schedule and Format:

Date: 11th May to 12th May, 2019

Format: Bo5(Best of 5) and Single Elimination, Grand Final will be Bo7.

The top 6 of the Super league and the first two players of the first division, a total of eight players will compete for the final championship.

Grip:

(SL stand for Super League, FD stand for First Division, SL 1 means the first in Super League)

SL 1 vs FD 2

SL 2 vs FD 1

SL 3 vs SL 6

SL 4 vs SL 5

Highlight

The 33-year-old Moon step on the offline journey once again. This legendary veteran will always bring us many incredible games. Will he still be the king again in this time?

In the regular season, 120 is the most dazzling star, but recently his stape can only be described as bad. In the playoffs, what kind of skill will 120 show to us?

There are only few people think that Lawliet will advance to the playoffs with a runner-up (his score less than 120 only!). This low-key killer has always lacked a major championship. Will he dream come true inthis time?

We have three Chinese and five Koreans, can TH000, Infi, 120 overcome the number of disadvantages, and keep the championship in China?

The playoffs without suspense will be very boring, and who will be the big black horse in this playoffs? Is it Sok, who is in a very good shape and defeated Fly 100% recently? Or is it the old-fashioned player, Lucifer? Can Lyn break through the barriers and break the monopoly of the Night Elves?

Conclusion: Let us be the witnesses of history together

If the regular season is more like an exhibition game, then the playoffs are the real war, there will be only one player can stay on the stage until the last moment. These eight players will catch the fight until they decide the only championship.

Compared to the results, the process of going through it is much more interesting, from the first round of the playoffs, to the Semi Finals, the Grand Finals, witnessing the birth of the championship, this is a wonderful journey. W League, let us be the witnesses of history!

Q: Hello Christopher, thanks to accept our War3station'interview, first do you have any words want to say to fans?

T: Hey there and thanks for having me! I am very excited and honored to receive this Interview request and see that there are still a few people left overseas that actually know me after all these years of absence of the scene I am looking forward to a bright future of WC3, our beloved game!

Q: We all know the news that the legendary team in WC3L: mTw set up the WC3 department again. Could you tell us why mTw decides to set WC3 department again?

T: Some of the original founders of mTw have bought back the marketing and name rights of the brand mTw in order to have a fresh start in 2019. They have asked me to be part of it and after I gladly accepted the offer. I encouraged the leaders to have a WC3 team again as a first eSport division in the new mTw! There is a long and successful history with mTw in WC3 and I wanted to make sure that we play a role in the upcoming Reforged Hype.

(mTw had many great results on Warcraft III history)

Their LOGO

Their former LOGO

Q: Could you tell us why mTw choose HawK and Cash as first and second players?

T: We were looking for some players in Europe first because mTw is based there as well. I have met Hawk in the Blizzard Warcraft 3 Invitational about a year ago together with Foggy and thought they were both super nice guys! Unfortunately, Foggy was not available to join mTw as well, but with Cash we found another top notch European player who had some surprisingly good results at the last WGL. They both like each other a lot and represent some of the strongest players in Europe, making them the best fit for our team.

Q: After two EU players mTw choose KR players as third and fourth players and this decision makes mTw become the first EU club that have KR WC3 players. So, why choose KR players? Only for their game race or other reasons?

T: I always wanted to have a team with at least four players, ideally representing each race. This was because I knew clan leagues would come out and I wanted to keep the tradition of mTw participating in clan leagues up. I know both Check and Lucifer very well from my own active days as a pro Gamer and know that they are both great guys to have in the team. Check cannot commit 100% of his time to WC3 right now, but I think he is still a great player to have and I was especially happy that Lucifer decided to join as well, still being one of the best Undeads out there! For mTw as an organization, it can only be beneficial to have a presence in the most important WC3 market of the world, so we decided to invest in that area.

Q: Will mTw sign new players in the future?

T: The base setup of our team is now complete, having one player of each race. However, my goal is to sign perhaps two more up and coming young players (one in Asia and one from Europe) in order to train them up to get to the next level. This process might take a bit longer as we can take our time and observe the scene first.

Q: Does mTw has any plan to let players practice offline for some days?

T: Yes, we have very concrete plans for that! I hope that by next week we can announce an event in Berlin, Germany, which will include all of our four players. Should our Russians express the wish to live and play in China or South Korea for a while, mTw will also be able to support them with that and we could set up a pro Gaming house in Asia to represent mTw there. We will discuss this in Q3 this year once more news are out about the upcoming Chinese Team Leagues.

Q: Now we now there is a new online team league held by Warcraft3.info, what is the aim of mTw in that league?

T: Our aim is to win the league and provide fun and entertaining matches for the WC3 Community. The prize pool is not high in the W3iL, but the first season is more about pride and prestige and we want to make sure that mTw comes out as the winner of course! Competition is always about winning, you should never have the goal or aim to just become second I am looking forward to the games already and can see that many good players have signed up already; perhaps in Season 2 we will also see some Chinese teams?

Q: One of the biggest news of WC3 in 2019 is that a high prize Primer team ProLeague will held in China, is there any plan to join that league? If yes, what is the aim? If no, why? Have you discussed with NetEase already?

T: I am very well aware of the NetEase plans for a team league and am already in touch with the organizers. No details can be shared yet, so I cannot give any information other than mTw will do anything we can in order to have our team represented in that league! As mentioned before, we are also open to move all of our players to Asia in order to have the best possible practice environment for the event.

Q: Could you share any future plans of mTwWC3 department with us?

T: We will participate in all major Tournaments hopefully and also set up a system to give new players a chance to become a pro. We want to give them the environment to grow and enrich their skills and perhaps even have some kind of program for it to support them on their way to the top. Having our current team of very experienced pro in mTw will certainly help for that!

Q: Let us discuss the manager: Tak3r. He was the best ORC in the past in age of ROC. We know he has left WC3 for a long time. This time why he comes back to lead Team mTw?

T: Ohh I think it is not true that I was the best Orc in Reign of Chaos! But thanks for saying that hehe. I stopped playing WC3 in 2006 after having some successful years, attending WCG in 2003 (so happy to see they added WC3 for their new 2019 event!) and the ACON4 Tournament in China in 2004. I decided to focus on a real life job at that time and became interested in other hobbies such as sports, guitar and most of all: traveling! I actually traveled the world for over three years in a row and managed to see 103 countries so far (List here: https://www.chrisontour84.de/travelreports/).

The reason I came back to mTw and WC3 is that it has been such a long time already and after Blizzard invited me to the Warcraft 3 Invitational with great oldschool and newschool players, I realized how much I missed being on eSport events and the special atmosphere there. mTw’s offer to be part of the team again came at the perfect timing, leading to my decision to devote some of my time for Gaming again and help them to grow mTw in the WC3 scene. My dream would be to be part of WCG 2019 as the Team captain for the German WC3 team, where can I apply for that please? ;)

Q: Last question, how do you think about WC3:Reforged?

T: I think it helps a lot to bring back new life into the scene and I think it looks great zoomed in. I am a bit worried that the overall gameplay might suffer a bit with all the new graphics and bigger unit models etc. Blizzard also made news firing people, but I hope that this will not negatively impact the development of WC3:Reforged. Should they do a good job with it and the scene loves it, I would love to see WC3:R as one of the top games in 2020 and going forward!

Q: In the end, do you still have any words want to say to fans or us?

T: Thanks for everyone who is supporting us from China and I hope we can bring you many good games and great WC3 moments in the future! mTw fighting!

Thanks to accept our interview! Best wishes! GLHF!

War3station: In the future, it is too difficult to support and make a reconstruction of the Warcraft III professional e-sports system, if we are relying only on Chinese Warcraft, an internationalized Warcraft III environment is indispensable. And in the case of the overall situation of the European Warcraft III environment is not good, MTW has become a team to explore, it is a courage to take the lead in establishing a true professional team, establishing a base in China and South Korea, and to train new players as their future goals. We wish them to go further on the road ahead! The revival of Warcraft, China, Europe, Korea, and the United States are indispensable!
