This week is a big week of W league, maybe the biggest! We will have some key matches that can decide who will be the champion and who will drop from his level. At the same time, we will have some great battle too, do you prepare your popcorn?


Upcoming games

Highlights you have to know

The battle of the old and new king of poser


Whether it is on stage or under the stage, Infi and 120 are the "super bad friends", they made fun of each other on the stage, and they played so many close game too! And we may see the Infi's Orc again!

Even though Blizzard make UDvHU completely done, but the games with these two ID will be interesting games!

120 will meet strong opponents in a row


Why can 120 make 5 winning streak and stay on the first place? The schedule is the biggest reason, however, 120 have to meet Infi, Moon and Lyn in this week, it's so difficult to keep on the first place.

Currently, it's possible that Lyn make a come back and get the first place, so the game Lyn vs 120 may be called "The Battle for the first place". And, is it possible that 120 use Unholy Frenzy on Blade Master again?

Crucial games for Fly, can he keep himself in Super League?


Two losing streak again, Fly was having a bad days recently, he is resulting 2-4 (2 win 4 loss) right now, his score is ahead Foggy only with one win, but Foggy only 4 games, so his situation is so hard now.

The worst case is his schedule in this week is really hard, he have to play against Lyn and Moon in this week, even if he win WFZ and get his third win, it's hard to keep leading Foggy. So he have to try to get more points in this week.

Moon vs 120 again, can 120 get a revenge?


The last time Moon played in W league was about one month ago, a lot of fans have been waiting for long time, and the game that Moon vs 120 will be the highlight always! In the NeXT Clan War, Moon won against 120 in the last game, and leaded his team to the championship.

Can Moon continue his story? Or 120 get the revenge? Let's watch the game on this Sunday!

Zhouxixi may get the first place


The result of First Division are much closer than Super League, Chamiko, Lucifer and Zhouxixi have the chance to get the first place; on the other hand, Sini, Tbc, Soin have to fight to avoid being dropped from the First Division.

As Colorful's master, Zhouxixi is always being underrated, in the tournaments recently, Zhouxixi lost the game to the players in Super League, but he was playing steady when he played against other opponent. In this week, Zhouxixi will play against Lucifer and Chaemiko, and these games may decide if he can get the first place, Zhouxixi is in a good state nowadays, so it's possible that he can make a winning streak and get into first place.

Q: Hi, Uncle Check, say hi to your fans!
A: Hi everyone, thank you for remembering me.

Q: Last year, you chose to retire after you got into best 4 in GCS, why?

The dancing left hand

When we talk about players on War3 history, we will mention Grubby, Moon, Sky, after that we may say TH000, Fly, Infi. That was a blossoming history, and there is a man called "the dancing left hand", suhO, he is also worthy of being written into this history.


Nowadays, suhO is playing in Texas Hold'em, seems he is famous in that circle. Due to the influence of  Reforged edition, we are honored to interview suhO.


Q: Hi,suhO. A lot of War3 fans are concerning to your work nowadays, may you talk about your work right now?
A: Hi, War3station and fans, I am living in Macau nowadays, and I will go to play the tournaments of Texas Hold'em sometimes, I enjoy my life nowadays, I feel so free and relaxed. (suhO, will we meet in Macau?)


Q: The Reforged edition is coming soon, how you feel about the edition?
A: I saw some models and designs, they look cool, but I didn't see my race, NE, so I don't want to talk it now.

Q: Which story or character in War3 are your favorite, do you play one more time with Reforged edition?
A: All the stories are good, and of course I will play it again, I remember I played the whole campaigns for 3 times. 


Q: We saw you played on ladders, may you say how good of your skills? Can you beat TeD?
A: In fact, I had been stopped playing War3 since my retirement in 2010, until Blizzard updated this game suddenly in this year, this is interesting and it attracted me, sometimes I played more that 50 rounds and 12 hours a day. I didn't play against TeD's UD recently, but I met him when he was playing the other races, and he was just having fun, of course he will lose me. (suhO, please play it on the stream, we want to watch how you knock down TeD.)

Q: Which moment is your best memory of your career?
A: I have so much great memory of my career, but if you want me to choose one, it will be that I got the champion of WCG China Division in 2004, I feel it was a dream, a fantastic dream.


Q: When the Reforged edition released, will you play in tournaments?
A: Come on, I will be knocked down by the active professional players for sure. But I may go for fun, sometimes I play on BN too, I saw so many special strategies on there, it's interesting. If we have some tournaments for the retired players, I will consider it, but I think I could win against XiaoT only.

Thank suhO to accept our interview, we wish we have a tournament for the retired players, and we wish you will be there.

In 2018, we have so much good news for Warcraft III, new patches, new tournaments, new league, even  Reforged edition, but we have a problem, the players are fewer in this game. Due to their personal reasons, Yumiko, Remind, Check, Romantic, Life, left this game. At last, we have a good news for this, a Korean Night Elf player, Check, he said he will try to come back, and come back on the stage.


If you are not an old fans of War3, you may be not familiar with this ID. So, let's us recall some great results in his career.

G League 6th Runner-up
IEST'2009 Runner-up
PGL'2015 Runner-up
GSC'2015 2v2 Champion
WCA'2016 Championship
GSC Winter'2017 Fourth Place


A senior player, a master of low APM 

Check, we may recall this ID from ROC edition. In 2002, Check started playing and showed himself in tournaments, during the following 15 years since 2002, we had seen this name for so much times.

Although his APM was just 150, but he was using his deep understanding and practicing so hard to bring up his micro skills. He was not like Moon, Remind, Soju, what he is doing is that he just kept practicing.


One of a 2v2 greatest partner

In fact, his Night Player was an Orc player, maybe this is the reason that he was playing so brave and fierce, force his opponent to pay off when the opponent killed his units.

In 1v1 games, Check always couldn't get better result with his low APM., however, in 2v2 games, he was one of the best player. In WCA the clan war, Lyn and he had a big win over Chinese Team; In GCS, he got the championship with TeD. After that, he was dominating in 2v2 games with 120, seems every player would be the great 2v2 player when they play with Check.

When he came back in 2015, Check played almost the tournaments, however he had just so few good results, especially in GCS.

In 2017 GCS winter, due to the personal reason, that was the last tournament of Check, so he brought his family to Shanghai. With the power of love, he was having a great performance, he knocked down Soin in Group Stage, and had a come back game when he played against Lawliet, resulting fourth place at last.


Check may get great results in this patch

In 2018, we may not see Check in the tournaments, but Check didn't quit this game completely, he will stream and play on the ladder sometimes. Actually this is too hard to quit completely at once, because this is the game he has insisted on for more than 10 years.

Patch 1.30 is a big time of Night Elves, with the reforged edition, these may be the reason that make he wants to come back to this game.

Hoenestly, it's still so hard for Check to get Champion, but we saw the NE players like Colorful, even TH's NE and Infi's NE can get the good results, we are confident in Check that he can do that too.


Check may be old, and he may be losing his strength and vitality, but he will keep his habit that make he greatness, he is hardworking, industrious, strong and persistent.

Human are a "ultimate weapon" now. So, would Human player be the champion in offline tournament? Are Human a strong race or a weak race?
