I proudly announce today, I received IceFrog's invitation to attend this year's summer 3rd edition of The International as a Chinese caster. Last year's the moment when iG claimed disctintly in front of my eyes. Among this year Chinese team, who will lead? I represent the crowd to say, do your best to bring the most entertaining matches. Also I would like to ask LaoDang, would you like to sleep next to the wall or facing outwards?
