*Who is the most handsome player?

120 always cares about his outlook, and he feels confident about himself, too. In this voting, he voted for himself!

(This is a post by 120 on Weibo)


However, 120 is still trailing behind Lyn in the rankings, and his fans added some comments about this situation.




Actually, besides Lyn, we have a lot of handsome guys playing Warcraft III. For example:

Sai

Sase

Grubby

MaDFroG

HLA

Sweet

Zhouxixi

Infi

Who is the most handsome guy in your opinion?

"It's like my faith. I have always wanted to use Undead, I want to challenge the limits of micro"
"If there was no Undead race, you might have not seen 120 in Warcraft III at all."

During the WGL Winter Finals, we followed 120 for 7 days. He always looks haughty and arrogant in games, but he is very shy in real life.

We hope you change your views about Warcraft III and about 120 after you watch this video.

Although the road is hard for him, he will always stick to using Undead. He lost this time, but he will come back in the next season, with his Undead Scourge!
