Special thanks


Colorful, Linguagua and HuG for the last Chinese spot!

This is the current Ranking of points system from Liquipedia.


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!

What is the feeling when you are watching the champion of the tournament which hold in your country falling in hands of players from other country? How about if this situation happen twice a year? Maybe the Chinese Warcraft III players could tell because they just experienced it last year.

Netease e-sports X Tournament, which is also called as NeXT. It is the first comprehensive e-sports event of NetEase which collect a variety of popular games. In 2018, NeXT has been launched officially. For Warcraft III, the China vs Korea clan war was once again become the main theme of the whole event.


In the NeXT Summer in September 2018, Team China and Team Korea performed a shocking battle for us. Although the sudden rise of Colorful had end the winning streak of Lyn in the end, but still no one could rival Moon in the patch 1.30. In the decision game, Moon defeated 120 and successfully leaded his team to the final victory.


After that, in the NeXT Winter in January 2019, Lawliet, Lyn, Lucifer's team won the championship and resulting 9-0. Under the situation that Soin defeated TH000 in the qualifiers, the Koreans undoubtedly gained the upper hand in the confrontation between China and Korean.



In May 2019, the NeXT Spring will be kicked off again. The NeXT Spring will moved from Guangzhou to Shanghai, and the competition system will also be innovated. Before that, 8 Chinese players including Infi, 120 and TH000 will be playing with 8 Korean players including Moon and Lyn, for deciding the order. There are only the top 6 players in the online selection will be able to go to the offline tournament. The final champion and the 100,000 Yuan will decide through bubble system (Ascension).

After leaving Guangzhou the sad place, the Chinese players will be ready to fight again. Just like the "King of the hill", the bubble system is considered as a Legand-making format. In the past, Sase, Sky, and TH000 performed the miracles that slamming all the way from the bottom to the top. So who can copy such the miracles in this time? Can the Chinese players keep the champion in China? Let the game tell us the answer!

Invited Players

China: Infi, TH000, Fly, eer0, WFZ, Colorful, Linguagua, Life
Korea: Moon, Lyn, Lawliet, FoCuS, Michael, Sok, Soin, Chaemiko

NeXT'2018 Winter Warcraft entered the Grand Final. Before the games, our reporter interviewed the game's commentator, the Warcraft legend, MagicYang. In the interview, Magic Yang mentioned several key points that Warcraft III will return in this year, let's take a look!


Q: How did you feel about returning to the familiar interpretation stage during the NeXT2018 winter?

M: I recently returned to the commentary, and I participated in the Super WGL Finals and NeXT's game commentary. The reason why I came back is because I still love Warcraft. At the same time, I also hope to come back to meet old and new friends. First, I want to see if everyone still likes my casting style, and I hope that I can do my own little power for this game.


Q: You are now working behind the scenes, have you considered any Warcraft III related business in the future?

M: Two years ago, I just turned into a behind-the-scenes work. At that time, we held a Nostalgic Battlefield in Harbin and invited some very famous players to participate, such as Moon, Grubby, Infi, TH000 and so on.

Now that we are considering the direction of the Reforged Edition, we hope to start with periodic small events and RPG-type maps. At the beginning we had a game called Dragon Wing Chronicles(龙翼编年史), we are considering whether to transfer it to Warcraft III: Reforged.


Q: What do you think about the upcoming Warcraft: Reforged Edition? Do you think it will make Warcraft III popular again?

M: In fact, this still depends on the cooperation of the electric competition. At present, NetEase has announced the WAR3 event plan for 2019, including 5 million yuan of special prizes for the event. I am more optimistic about whether it can be popular again.

For new players, the Reforged Edition is a brand new game, and the game has a high prizes. In addition, Warcraft III does not have as many professional players as other games that are mature now.

So it is more attractive for new players to choose Warcraft III: Reforged as a new eSports project.
For the old players, I think the screen upgrade of these old RPG maps, melee games will attract them to return. From the situation I understand, the Netease official battle platform has had a significant increase in traffic for the past two months, so I think Warcraft III will definitely be popular again.


Q: In NeXT'2018 winter Warcraft III, there are only four Chinese players, but there are many Korean players. In terms of the overall professional level of Warcraft III, China and Korea, which one do you think is stronger?

M: In fact, from the top players, the level of China and Korea is still very close. As for the offline events, we are more concerned about the players themselves.


Q: Warcraft III has been in development for many years, but there are only few new players have appeared in recent years. What are your views and methods for cultivating a new generation of players?

M: At the current stage of e-sports, new players are not like ours, we are only going to play with a passion. Nowadays, it is more formalized. In fact, it is a good opportunity for recruiting new players in this year. With the launch of Reforged Edition, many large professional clubs in China have established Warcraft department, such as RW, Newbee. For the young players, the recruitment of these regular clubs is not only guaranteed, but also less worrying.

The second is that this year's event has a high bonus, which will attract many new players, and more people will choose to strive for the standing of the top players. In fact, the current professional players grew up slowly under the pressure of the older players.

In this year, Warcraft III will have a lot of new players. Maybe these young players can't beat the top players in a short time, but the young players will cause a lot of troubles for these top players in the game. They must be able to intensify the competition.


Q: Do you think that Warcraft III can open up new development space in the game mode, such as FFA, 5v5, 2v2v2, etc. Can these format bring a fresh feeling to the game?

M: In fact, these formats have been tried in previous games, but from the results, these formats are more suitable for RPG. Because the existing 1v1 and 2v2games, they have formed a system that is very standard and the audience has become accustomed to. If you add more formats, first of all, the game duration will be lengthened, second, the game viewing will be limited. For example, the FFA of 8 players, where should the caster go? The attention of the audience will also be dispersed.

But these formats are quite promising in RPG, as the previous Dota did. For the Warcraft III tournaments, in addition to considering the competitive nature of professional players, we must also consider the feelings of the audiences. For the new format, it is difficult to find a solution that satisfies both parties in a short time.


Q: What do you think of the atmosphere and venue of NeXT winter in this time? If you have a chance to come again next time, would you like to come here again?

M: This competition is very good, the area, stage and lighting of the venue are very good. Additionally, I really enjoy the atmosphere of here, the seats in the venue were full, especially this event was a comprehensive project.

In fact, many fans and audiences are not coming for Warcraft III, but they may be attracted to watch Warcraft III. So I am very willing to come to the next competition.

Half an hour from the rehearsal, FoCuS ended his training in Cyber Cafe and rushed to the cafe for an interview. In the just-concluded NeXT Winter Warcraft III, FoCuS successfully escaped from the big killer, Moon with his dazzling performance, we need to know that in this patch, Moon is almost invincible. In the game, we saw FoCuS played with Shadow Hunter first, and Tinker second, then he went to push Moon's expansion with the Serpent Wards, although he failed in that fight, he still played very patiently, and successfully knocked down Moon main base and won the game.

The moment Moon typed out GG, the camera turned to FoCuS, his smile was like sunshine.

"He told me before the game that he had a confidence to played against Night Elf on TS." 120 was grinning next to him.

"You may not believe it. When I started playing Warcraft, I started with the Human." FoCuS was like a big boy. "But after the release of the Frozen Throne, I turned to the Orc, because I especially like to use the speed scroll to run the whole army, the feel is really good."


"My training goal is to win the championship in every game, whether it is winning 120 previously or winning Moon this time, maybe it is incredible in your eyes, but in my opinion, I was pretty fully prepared before the game, so after winning, there is a feeling of getting what you want."

In the minds of Warcraft players, FoCuS is a very hard-working player. He will try to play in the every big tournament and minor cup. He won 46 championships in Z Cup (a famous European weekly tournament, held 322 times), currently, many champions of some minor cups are also included in the FoCuS

"I can make a little money for my family. On the other hand, it is also good to maintain the state with the competition." FoCuS also pointed out that in recent years, the Warcraft III prizes are not enough to support his life. "Fortunately, I still have some savings. In addition, I am very grateful to my wife. She will also go out to work to make money to support our family." FoCuS is very optimistic.


In South Korea, the number of audiences who care about Warcraft III is not huge but is very demanding for players. After WGL summer in 2018, the poor performance of FoCuS made him attacked by many audiences on the Korean forum. He could not help but write a letter of apology with the incomprehensible feelings of others. "At that time, I would only stay at home, I don't know how to deal with this. I will feel bad when I look at the forum."

Soon after, I figured out that this was originally part of what professional players should bear. I will try to do some fitness and outdoor sports to divert attention. Recently, I am also learning piano, music makes people happy. These activities make me not care too much about those attacks, and pay more attention to my own training.

When I mentioned Soin, who was not performing well today, FoCuS had great confidence to this younger player: "he was too nervous, I believe he is a skillful player. This is his third time to be in offline, right? And he just graduated this year, before that, his studies were very hardy and he often faced exams. I think after this year, Soin should have more time to prepare and adjust his mindset, he will beyond me in the future."


When I asked him what he thought about the Reforged Edition, FoCuS thought about it and raised his hand to help the glasses. "For me, I still think and practice constantly. It is a good thing for the environment to be better."

"But for me, preparing for tomorrow's game is more meaningful." As always, he is humility and low-key.

"I will try my best."

He turned his head and looked out the window, the sky darkened, and the lights lit up. The light of this flower city made this city look like it was during the day.

We may look at the star players who are particularly good like Moon and Lyn, however, we can't ignore the senior players like FoCuS, they strive to bring the brightest game to the audience, and they are reluctant to disappoint fans and audience.


"It doesn't matter if I am not famous. Just remember, I used to play Warcraft III, and I really love this game."

The last sentence of FoCuS makes my eyes moist.

---------------------------------
[Author's note] NeXT was held at the Poly World Trade Expo Center in Guangzhou in these two days. The "living fossil" of games, Warcraft III, it is still full of audiences, and the cheers come constantly in the hall, like it was showing us that he was ready for his second peak. For the first time, we were using the conquest system, the whole process was very exciting, and the audiences were so interested on this tournament too. Let's take a look at the behind-the-scenes scenes that touched us.
---------------------------------

The weather in Guangzhou is surprisingly good, like a gentle sing of the wind, soft and clear. This is the first time that Yan Xiaoyu (a pseudonym) came to Guangzhou. For this reason, she took 2 days off and spent half a month's salary on this trip. Just now, she was in the Poly World Expo Exhibition Hall,and watching NeXT Winter Warcraft III, when most people were holding "Moon" and "Fly", she held "Lucifer" high and her eyes were firm and persistent. And the player she supports, Lucifer, has gone through a full 18-year career.


Surprisingly, this time Lucifer's performance is definitely worthy of the long-distance running of this fan: First, when he was in the face of the pressure given by Fly100%, he chose to play with mass Ghouls and went to Fly's base in a really good timing, after that, he got the double hero-kill with a beautiful Nova & Death Coil Combo, forced Fly typed out GG in the game. In the Winner Bracket Final, Lucifer stood out and fought for his team as the first player, he found the chance that when Colorful's army hadn't been forming, Lucifer got the hero-kill with his double level 5 hero, got the first point for his team, and did good job for the result afterwards, 3-0.


18 years is enough to make a person change a lot. The prestige boy in the past has also become an fatty uncle. But from the moment his left hand flew on the keyboard, and his eyes fixed on the screen, he were like a teenager with the young concentration and enthusiasm.

From that moment on, I know that War3 is my lifelong goal.

Today's Warcraft III, Lucifer is definitely not at the top level, and Moon, who debuted with him, and Lyn, who is later than him, both of them still maintain a super competitive level. Especially as UD, the light of 120 in recent years has almost concealed other fellow players. He sometimes can enter into top 8 in online tournaments, and he occasionally can get into offline, this is the current impression to the audiences.

2006 was the pinnacle of Lucifer, he won the ESWC championship that year.


When Lucifer was sitting across from me, he squinted and said: "That was the happiest moment of my life. I remember that I won Zeus with 2:0. But before that, I didn't have any big championship. I always felt in the game. I warned myself to calm down until the moment that the spotlights and flowers surrounded me, and I felt that everything was worthwhile. At that time, I began to be determined and I would use Warcraft III as my lifelong goal."

At that time, he was closely connected with the names of Susiria, Grubby and Moon, which were engraved in the history of Warcraft III, and he was the superstar of the legendary team MYM.

When he tried to come back to Warcraft III, the road is full of resistances and long.

It’s not easy to stick to a game that is not popular nowadays, and Lucifer is harder than other players.

In 2015, Lucifer wrote a long blog to talk about his feelings. In the middle, he said "Life is always full of disappointment, and the trajectory of life will not develop as we expected. We always stand in the same place, waiting for opportunities, waiting for fate, but they will always be again and again, give us frustration and pain.


Lucifer suffered from a serious psychological mania when he was in military service. Sometimes his heart was so violent and this made him had to leave the TYLOO team and went back to his hometown to heal. And for his treatment of drugs, he also made his body more and more fat, and the King of UD, which is famous with his out-looking, has completely changed. In time and again self-doubt and self-salvation, Lucifer's sentiment has a new sublimation: "In those years, I realized a truth. The outcome of the game may not be as important to me as before; the most important thing is to do your best and stick to it without giving up. "

If you want me to add a deadline, then I choose to fight until the last day.

The four Korean Kings of Undead once shined the entire Warcraft III: Susiria, gostop, Lucifer, sweet. However, the other three have now turned and left. In this regard, Lucifer said with a smile: "Yes, I also miss the days of fighting with them. Sweet went to other game as a coach, and the other two have not played games. Now Korea has only one skillful Undead. As a matter of fact, I don't have anyone to discuss tactics. I only rely on myself and watch replays. But before the big tournaments, Korean players of other races will accompany me to carry out targeted exercises. I am very grateful to them here."

In the just-concluded 2018 WGL Winter, Lucifer made his debut in the offline game after two years. However, he didn't play well, and the audiences was concerned that he would sweat when he finished a Bo3 games.
"I cried at the time, he is too difficult." Yan Xiaoyu remembered that moment.

"In WGL, because I haven't been in offline for a long time, I want to express my desires very much, so I have to put more pressure on myself. In NeXT, I will perform better." Lucifer smiled heartily.

"Like Moon and me, it’s great to be able to maintain such a competitive state at an old age. I think I have been very successful." He commented on himself.


When he heard me said that some other people's speculations and rumors, Lucifer laughed again: "I am not a rich second generation, I am not making a lot of money in stocks, those are all things that are nothing, I was growing in an ordinary family. But for me, prizes and stream are enough to support my life. I don't have any material needs, I have enough to eat enough, and I don't need to support my family like other married players."

"You asked me about my plans for the future? I think... I will keep going." Lucifer's eyes began to shine again. "Yes, I see the teammates around me leave, I was lonely and doubtful about life, but I never thought about leaving Warcraft III. Now that the Reforged Edition is out, the big environment may be greatly improved. But who knows? Anyway, as long as Warcraft 3 is still there, I will play this game and stream it to my audience."

"That is, you will fight to the last moment of Warcraft III, right?" I asked softly.

"Yes!" Lucifer nodded.

At that moment, he was like an angel.
