Since the ESWC tournament is about go begin, briefly talk about WE players’ preparations.
King: There are many tournaments in the first half of the year, so we’re generally preparing for the ones we are or will be participating in. There is not any specific training for a certain tournament currently but we will have some before the Chinese Regional Finals of ESWC.
Are World Elite’s players confident about the ESWC preliminaries?
King: Everyone was looking forward to ESWC a lot and they do feel confident about doing well in the tournament.
Do you have any special plans for your team? What about for WE.09?
King: This is WE.09’s first off-line tournament appearance, so the team has no special requirements of him. We only hope that he will gain valuable experience.
In order to make it out of the preliminaries, will you resort to preservation tactic, where you send every two players to a different district to ensure that some of them qualify?
King: There shouldn’t be any preservation tactics, aside from that our main players will each be sent to a different district, allowing for possibly maximum qualification rate.

In the process of qualification, who do you think are World Elite’s biggest opponents?
King: The biggest opponent should be ourselves (meaning the team should out-perform itself to be successful), but players like Xiaot, Fly, Th000, and Sai are not to be underestimated.
The ESWC Chinese Regional changed its host, so what advices do you have for them?
King: I hopefully the host can create a good competition environment for the players by treating everyone fairly. Of course, I also hope ESWC can get more sponsors so that the competitors will be a better atmosphere to game in.
Predict possible achievements for World Elite in this year’s ESWC.
King: I hope that a WE player can become the champion because I think one of them will definitely make it to the finals. At the same time, I also wish for all of our players to display their skills and make great achievements!
Do you have any final words for all the World Elite fans out there?
King: Thanks for everyone’s undying support for our team. We will do well in the tournament to repay you and so please keep on cheering for us! Lastly, I want to thank our sponsors, Intel、Razer、Kappa、Nvidia and Dxracer for their support as well.
