WGL: Happy and Cash won the WGL European Qualifier.

On May 26, WGL summer 2019 European Qualifiers continued the fight! Since he said yes to WGL, Happy won the European qualifying quota without losing a single map, easy and simple!

On the other hand, Foggy's performance made everyone so stunned. After he lost to the Russian random player JohnnyCage in the winner bracket Quarter Final, he was still fighting and reached the Lower Bracket Final. However, he lost to Cash's Human at last. Foggy fell in Europe!

Foggy may not be qualified this time.

In the European qualifier, he was defeated by mTw.Cash, meanwhile, his points were not high enough to ensure he can qualify. Although he still has the chance to make a final stroke in the qualifier in this month, but it's very hard for him. Let's see if he can make a great performance and go to Shanghai!



H&W: Moon broke through the surround of Team Newbee and win H&W Masters.

(Original Author: War3station, Translator: GLH, Click here to Source)

26th May is the last day of the H&W China vs Korea Masters. In the end, Moon easily defeated Lawliet in the Grand Final. After winning the WGL Winter in 2018, he won an offline event again after half of a year. Along this event, Chinese players played poorly in this tournament, and the top three were taken over by three South Korean players.


Match for Third: eer0 struggled in the game and lost to Lyn.

In the last six battle of eer0 vs Lyn, eer0 won only once. The gap between the two players in this patch has been showed slightly. 

In the first set on EI, eer0 lost 3 Crypt Fiends and a TP for cancelling Lyn' expansion. After that, Lyn went to creep jack and killed 2 Statues. eer0's troops had died more than half before the last fight.

In the second round of TR, eer0's hiding from the Blade Master and grew up his Death Knight to level 3 in the early game. In the mid game, he snatched the three creep camps in the middle of the map when he was having the strong timing. Although it's hard to guess who will win the direct fight, but eer0 expanded secretly and this gave him a strategic advantage. Lyn made a desperate all in to the expansion, but the Undead could easily defend their opponent at their base. eer0 regained a map.

When we went to the the deciding game on CH, Lyn made the Ogre Lord following him to base. At the strong timing, Lyn expanded at the Gold Mine that nearer to eer0 base, the two Reinforced Defense Towers were hard and rock-solid, eer0 had no choice but to type out GG.


Lawliet's strategies has a great effect, but Moon was just too strong.

Before the start of the finals, everyone said that Moon would definitely win the championship. Even Lyn, who's always being calm also said, Moon has the 80% of probability to win. Of course, Lawliet won't surrender easily. On the first map on TS, Lawliet started with Panda first, he's forcing Moon to upgrade to Tier 3 to use Bears, and avoiding the battle of mass Archers. Moon is so good in mass Archers mirror, so Lawliet chose a different strategy.

If there is the pure and mass Bear mirror, KOG's three-level Aura is so good, but how about the situation if there are some Chimaeras? That's why Lawliet is the best Night player when straining on different situation. He could do anything before you realized it!



In the second set of LR, Lawliet started with DH first and he wanted to make a surprise. Moon certainly won't give the opponent another chance. In the mid game, Moon summoned Naga as second hero, killed the Alchemist and took the initiative. After that, Moon choice to play with Dryads, and let Lawliet could only stay at base. Under the desperation, Lawliet planted Ancients of Protector at home, and pushed to Moon's expansion step by step. When he reached there, he realized that Moon had already been waiting for him with his Bears. How should Lawliet fight? GG.


Moon is the king in patch 1.30.

The next two sets had completely been controlling by Moon, and we had mass Archers mirror again in these two games. From these two games, we knew that Lawliet really has no chance when he plays regularly against Moon. Whether it's heroes position in the fight, focus fire, or overall view in the game, Lawliet is not as good as Moon, his failure is also reasonable.

After all, Moon still took the chance of the ending of patch 1.30. In this patch, he is the king. Can the Night Elf continue their glory in next patch?



WCG: The chat of TeD and BO in the second round.

On the second map on TR, before BO typed out GG, this the chat between them.


BO: Hey TeD, when you are standing on the stage, and holding the champion trophy
BO: Please remember me and my contribution.
TeD: ............
BO: GG
TeD: gg

So...TeD is the champion of WCG 2019?



WGL: The last  monthly qualifier will start today!

Compared with the pro division, we believe the open division games will be more interesting. Colorful,HuG, Linguagua and WFZ, all of them hope that they can win the championship in this month, so they can get more points and advance to the WGL offline. And there left only very few quotas, who will get it? Let's watch the games today!














English Version (Translated by GLH)


Let’s discuss a serious problem. Every time after an offline game, there will always be fans who are watching or had watched Warcraft III say, "This game has been launched for more than ten years, why still are these old players winning the championship, is there no newcomer in Warcraft III? "

This is how I am thinking. If an old player has played for more than 10 years, and he still keeps practicing, training with the strength of professional players, continues to play in the tournaments. His strength will rise steadily, at least there will be no obvious regression.

Then, as a newcomer, if you can catch up or even surpass the old players within one year, two years, three years, four years, five years of training. Is this a sorrow of the game or the player?

We all know that RTS games are won in a complicated way. They must be driven by a series of factors such as strategies, operations, micro, etc. It takes many years for a newcomer to absorb so many things to fully understand the game.

In my opinion, if the old players don't retire or they aren't lazy, it is very difficult for the newcomers to surpass the old players in the singles tournament. This is the same as the running competition. When you only start to run after your opponent has ran 1000 meters. The only reason that you can surpass your opponent, is the man stops running, or even coming back.

So, I think that the audience’s standard for the newcomers is actually a bit too high…

Since Blizzard announced a new PTR of patch 1.31, the debate about game balance has not stopped on all forum. Among them, the voice of Undead is IMBA is particularly loud. Is this really the case? Let's listen to the opinion of several Undead players.

120: All the changes are meaningless.



Q: What is your opinion about the coming back of Ancient Isles?
120: Will the map Ancient Isles be added to tournament? Or the ladder only? If they add it to the ladder only, it's meaningless! The current map pool makes the Undead in disadvantaged side, Ancient Isles can make the map pool a little more balanced.


Q: Which change in PTR of patch 1.31 makes you most concerned?
120: In my opinion, all the changes are meaningless. It is better to give the Ghouls +100 Hit Points, instead of adding this new item.



Q: What do you want to say about this new patch?
120: In fact, the patch is not that important, the map pool is more important.


Happy: These changes don't address current issues, still, it's better than nothing.


Q: Hi Happy, here is War3Station. Today 1.31 announced by Blizzard, how do you feel?
Happy: Hello! It's always nice to have a new patch with balance changes, although, these changes don't address current issues (like KOTG in every match up, etc). Still, it's better than nothing.


Q: Do you think Undead would change a lot in the future? I mean strategies.
Happy: Maybe, it's a test patch, new changes can be made, or current might be changed or removed altogether. If the patch won't change from PTR - I guess Undead might try adding Necromancers in certain match ups (especially vs orc).

Ritual blade looks promising too. New faster and cheaper Gargoyles might be good for harass.

Orb of fire change for Human looks potentially super strong vs Undead. No idea how Wind Walk change will affect Blade Master …


Q: Will you attend WGL Summer in Shanghai if you are qualified from WGL EU?

Happy: That's how its gonna work:
If I play and win qualifiers - certain people around my stream promised me certain sum of money, that they will give me once I am qualified.

If they won't fulfill their promise - then no, I won't be going.
Same applies to WGL organizers - if they wont provide me certain "essential" needs for my travel, like a normal flight, and a normal accommodation.

Apart from that, yeah, I will go (thought, can't say I am anyhow excited). I always keep my word.

Lucifer: Winter is coming!



Q: Lucifer Hello, Blizzard officially announced 1.31 today. What do you think of this?
Lucifer: The Winter for the Undead players is coming, Winter is coming!


Q: The Gargoyles look very strong now, what do you think?
Lucifer: Lucifer will rise again!


Q: Many people think that Undead is IMBA, what do you think?
Lucifer: The Undead is still not dead.


WFZ: The Undead players have more strategies when we are playing against the Orcs and the Night Elves.


Q: Hi, WFZ, what do you think about buff of the Ring of Protection?
WFZ: Currently, everyone understands the Ring more deeply, and players sell the ring less. After the buff of the Ring in the new patch, there are more situations that players will keep the Ring in Inventory.


Q: What do you think of this new patch?
WFZ: In the new patch, the Undead players have more strategies when we are playing against the Orcs and the Night Elves. Moreover, the Necromancers can be used now, and it seems to be more difficult for the Undead to fight against the Human.


Q: In 2018, you played worse than your peak moment. Fortunately, in 2019, your shape has rebounded, and you have a team, and we are even going to have patch 1.31. Do you have any wish for your future?
WFZ: Keep practicing, keep streaming, keep playing in tournaments.


Tbc_bm: I don't think the Undead is IMBA in new patch.


Q: Let me give you a message, Mass Skeleton has been buffed, what do you want to say?
Tbc_bm: This patch let the Undead have the ability to play against the Orcs with base running, before this patch, the Undead with Banshee is very passive, and now we have the initiative. For playing against Night Elf, the new Cripple may not be better than the current Unholy Frenzy. In short, I like this change very much, making up for the huge disadvantage in patch 1.30 when the Undead play against the Orcs with base running and Reinforced Defense Towers.


Q: Seems the Undead is very IMBA in the new patch. Are you confident to be the real "third Undead" with the Undead Mirror?
Tbc_bm: I don't think the Undead is IMBA in new patch, because most of the changes is for the Tier 2 units, the timing in the early game has not changed.

Moreover, when Undead are playing against the Orcs, this patch can offset the current disadvantage on map pool. However, with the current timing in the games, and it is still hard to see the Necromancers when Undead are playing against the Night Elf and Human.I think that the new item are a late game item under the current timing, so grasping the early game is the key to winning.

Actually I am very weak in Undead Mirror. The most important thing in Undead Mirror is timing, and I am weaker than the best Undead and the fourth Undead. My understanding is weaker than the best Undead, the second Undead and the fourth Undead. The reason is that the fifth Undead is too weak, so the people thought me can be very good in this patch.

Remark by GLH:
The best Undead: 120, second: Happy, fourth: WFZ, fifth: Lucifer, Tbc_bm considers himself as the third Undead.


Q: What do you think of the patch? Is there any new strategies?
Tbc_bm: The new patch weakens the effect of the luck on winning and losing, and they add some new elements, I think this is very good. However, some problems left over from the previous patch have not been solved: for example, the buff of Moon well let the Night Elf are too strong in the mid game, and Human can be upgraded the Flak Cannons in Tier 2, this makes the Undead so difficult to play against the Human with many units.

As for the new tactics, I think in the future, Necromancers+Crypt Fiends and Necromancers+Frost Wyrms may replace the Banshee+Crypt Fiends and the Banshee+Frost Wyrms, as the new strategies to play against the Orcs.


TeD: I feel that Blizzard is very creative.


Q: Hi, TeD, I think you already have won the championship of WCG2019, right?
TeD: Oh, I guess you got so many benefits from my opponent in my group. Tell me, how many MCD or KFC you need? I will give them to you and please stop DUNAI me ok? For WCG2019, there is no championship for me, I am just coming for fun, and try to not be taken away in the second round!

Remark by GLH: 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(毒奶) in China.


Q: Do you have idea about the non-regular and funny strategies in patch 1.31 for Undead?
TeD: I feel that there are a lot of strategies can be play in Tier 2, such as Unholy Frenzy push, or double Ritual Dagger all in suppression. In the future, the game on Ladder will only begin when the Ghoul Frenzy is upgraded.


Q: What do you want to say about this new patch?
TeD: I feel that Blizzard is very creative, at least not like a patch that "fixes some known bugs, some animations cause bugs in the game". Now, when the designers are changing the balance, they will also write some reasons for the change, I think it is very professional and good. Moreover, there will be more discussion by new and old players with the release of a new patch.

According to the TeDTV convention, which race wins, which race is IMBA! As a non-professional player, the release of a new patch means we will have more non-regular and funny strategies. Compared to the unchanging game play, the new game plays will make this game more energetic. And I believe Blizzard will continue to make adjustment in the future, as far as possible to make Warcraft III tend to balance, or let the different race take turns to be the king.



Q: Finally, would you like to say that which player can show up themselves in patch 1.31?
TeD: I will not talk about the old players, they will keep themselves very powerful. For new players, I am looking forward to 15sui, HuG, Linguagua. The other young players are actually quite a lot as well, keep going, you guys will be stronger than PCG!


Xun: If you can't win us, join us!


 Q: Hi, Xun, I heard that you are going to give up the commentary?
Xun: I didn't plan to do this, commentator is my main business.


Q: What do you think of this new patch?
Xun: Undead changes obviously, especially the buff of the Ghouls+Gargoyles system and the expansion system. Of course, I am a Ctypt Fiends super lover, I need sometimes to adapt it.


Q: Is there anything to say to other races?
Xun: If you can't win us, join us! Keep training your Undead Mirror, for the next championship!

TeD isn't a professional player in War3 2v2, and his skills are hard to play in 1v1, however, TeD and Hainiu are one of the best team in War3 2v2, recently, they got a first place and a second place in TKOM.

TeD is a optimistic guy and he keep smiling on his face. TeD was a professional player, he might experience a lot of difficulties, maybe this is the reason make TeD is able to keep hopefulness always.


Q: Hi Ted, thank you for accepting our interview, please introduce yourself to the audiences first.

TeD: Hi, I am TeD, the War3 streamer who always be chasing by Yuwan[1]



Q: Before TKOM(The King of Map), the last 2v2 game you played was more than half year ago, and you get the champion in your first 2v2 tournament in these few months, what is the reason for your success? What qualities does 2v2 test for players?

TeD: It's BO1, luck is the biggest reason, and this is the first 2v2 tournament in patch 1.30, all of us are still trying to adapt it, and my partner is Hainiu, he plays very good, what I need to do is just shouting 666 to him[2].
2v2 has differences with 1v1, some players are good in 1v1, but they aren't able to adapt 2v2. Communication and trust are really important, if you face a problem and you have to decide solution immediately, one of them have to listen to another player, if two player are having different opinion, this will make they lose easily.



Q: Talk about your partner, Hainiu, we heard that he is good in 1v1 too, and he is the first 50 in NetEase platform, so Hainiu and you, who is the better player?

TeD: 2v2 great player also good in 1v1, in our bet party, Hainiu is the best 1v1 player. From an objective perspective, 2v2 is a game for 2 players, I have great chemistry with Hainiu, so we are improving together, so we are good when we play together.



Q: You lost to Infi and Colorful on TR, what is the reason? How many Zhouxixi between Colorful and TH000[3]?

TeD: I don't think this is an accident for us, Infi is a very good commander and he has a lot of strategies and experiences, we would be trapped by them, and Colorful didn't perform his "acrobatics". For conclusion, I think the biggest problem is we didn't do well on scouting in the opening, we guessed that Infi would go to Headhunter directly before the game, but Infi didn't and he use Wyverns, they were acting and very good, so they trapped successfully and made us have no idea about what they were playing. In the late game, TC was level 3 and they had a team of Wyverns, this situation is really hard for UN (Undead+Night Elf).
For the second question, come on man, I can't say that, Zhouxixi is Colorful's master.



Q: In patch 1.30, which combination will be the best? And why?

TeD: We have only two 2v2 tournaments, but I feel all the combination are slightly stronger than previous patch, I am sure that is no best combination, because the strength is depending on the player, there will be different answer for every 2v2 tournament.



Q: Do you think TKOM's format is good? In your career, which map is your favorite map?

TeD: I think the format is quick cool, BO1 for the first place is really stimulating, and amateur player can defeat professional player easier in BO1.
TR is my most favorite map, this is the map to let me didn't get 0 point when I played with Sky, and I have the highest win rate on TR in my career.



Q: In patch 1.30, Undead are easier to play against Human, if you play 1v1 against Sky, who will be the winner?

TeD: I will win for sure, Sky didn't play War3 for more than half year, and I feel he didn't play patch 1.30 too, I will keep teasing him and let him use Riflemen, and I will win the game.



Q: In this year, Colorful played a lot of good games, and he has become famous, as a senior, what will you say these young players?

TeD: War3 is a interesting game, but it will make suffering to us too, if young players want to become better than the senior, they have to hold for the games for long times. Although these seniors are having a lot of experiences and strategies, but young players are having better momentum, and these young players are much better than last year, like Pcg, Sini, Fast, basically, they can reach to 16 strong in WGL, maybe even better, good luck! Hope they will be better!



Q: You have retired for a few years, and you are streamer, caster, player, organizer too, in your opinion, what does War3 means to you? With all the thing you have done, what you want to give War3 fans?

TeD: War3 is a part of my life, I can't leave this game, what I have right now are depend on this game. I feel happy when I am doing these, streamer, organizer, caster, I feel blessed when the fans and audiences feel happy.
For example, When I am streaming, audiences may be praising, and I am casting clearly, for every points in the game......? And......?[4]
I feel happy for this too, hahaha



Q: What your comment about "DUNAI"[5], do you feel confident that you can step over Huang Xu Dong, and become the best "DUNAI" in eSport?

TeD: I am a professional caster, ok? Huang Xu Dong is a real DUNAI, TeDTV audiences know that, I won't get over your Yuwan, I am the professional!(This is true, trust me, I am talking honestly)
P/s: I have to run now



Q: Hainiu and You are the formal winner on TKOM feat LT, and Infi+Colorful are the formal winner on TR, we will have two more tournaments for each map, may you predict which team are the winner next time?

TeD: We will try over best on LT, at least we don't want to lose with bad, on TR, I think Infi+Colorful will be the winner again, and 120+Fly will be the biggest challenger.



Q: Do you have any words for the bankrupter of Yuwan and War3 fans?

TeD: Thank you, come to TeDTV always and get relax together!





Remarks:

[1]Yuwan: A fake money on Douyu TV, and they can use these to play Douyu Gambling.

[2]666: When somebody shout 666 to you, means you did very well.

[3] They use Zhouxixi to quantify strength of players, just a joke. For example, how many GLH between B2W and War3info, usually this means GLH is really weak.

[4] TeD always DUNAI, for example: https://gornlanharbor.blogspot.com/2018/10/funvideo-master-of-dunai-see-how-ted.html

[5] 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.
