  1. 15sui and Romantic will play for LP in the future!
  2. HuG's out from the offline! Colorful and Linguagua for the last spot.

15sui and Romantic will play for LP in the future!

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. 

Official Announcement by Team LP

Here is the official announcement from Team LP that they published on Weibo.
(Translator: GLH, Click here to Source.)

On 1st June (Beijing time), 北京老炮儿电子竞技俱乐部 (LaoPao e-sport club) is here to announce that the two 浪漫 (ID: Romantic) and 生者 (ID: 15sui) officially joined the Team LP Warcraft Division.


The Human player, Romantic has gotten the end of his punishment and officially joined team LP Warcraft III division today. Romantic has always been one of the top Human players in China, therefore, his participation is also an important addition to the strength of our Warcraft III division.


On the other hand, our another player, the 17-year-old genius player "15sui" also officially joined team LP Warcraft III division. In the following time, 15sui will be studying and representing to play Warcraft III for team LP simultaneously.

At this point, we wish our new players can achieve good results. Keep moving, Team LP!


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!

Colorful, Linguagua and HuG for the last Chinese spot!

This is the current Ranking of points system from Liquipedia.

Source

And we made a small table for the intensest area.

From these two table, we know that Fly100% is confirm to be in offline stage. At the same time, the last Chinese spot will most likely be the winner of Colorful and Linguagua, depends on which players can get more points in this qualifier. 

Meanwhile, HuG has only a little chance. When if Colorful and Linguagua lose in Group Stage 2 and fail to be in Semi Final, and HuG could win this qualifier, which means three of them will tie with 31 points in this situation. I guess there will have an additional games for three of them.

What will happen in the last few days? Let's stay with our favourite casters and watch the games!

WGL May Qualifier will be continued today, with patch 1.31!

The minor league of WGL which held by Netease and Blizzard will continue today. By the time, the Group Stage of Pro division and Open division will play at the same time. This is also the first patch 1.31 tournament that played on NetEase Platform.

Yesterday, Blizzard released the new patch of 1.31. After a day of debugging, the new patch was officially updated on the Netease Platform today. After the changes of the patch, which race will become the strongest race? Let's check on it by the coming games.

Group A

Group B

Group C

Group D

A whole new gaming mode, the Archon Mode.

The Archon Mode: Two players control the same "troop or camp" to fight against the opponents. In the game, two of them will be "sharing" the micro, and the units, and making the effect that is not easy to achieve by a single player.

This Mode will be played in Laoshou Cup (老受杯), for more details, please click here to the tournament announcement.

According to our Warcraft III tournament organizer, dur0, CrunCher is not able to attend WGL summer 2019. Also the Third place of the WGL European Qualifier, htrt has declined the chance as well. "Both of them had to forfeit their spots because of their jobs." said dur0

Therefore, Hunter will play in WGL summer 2019.

Moon and Lawliet advanced to the WCG 2019.

As most of us expected, Lawliet and Moon successed to win the APAC Finals. Lawliet won the tournament without any losing map, resulting 7-0; and Moon lost a map to Lawliet, resulting 6-1 in the final result.

 Of course, we believe all their fans had been worrying about Moon and Lawliet, because Blizzard just updated the patch before the game. Luckily, Moon and Lawliet didn't disappoint their fans, and advanced to the Grand Final of WCG 2019. Congratulations to Moon and Lawliet!

  2. H&W: Moon broke through the surround of Team Newbee and win H&W Masters.
  3. WCG: The chat of TeD and BO in the second round.
  4. WGL: The last  monthly qualifier will start today!


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!

source of image

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!
