Hello there, can you tell us when did you join EHOME officially?
-''It should be around 20th January.''
During the arrival of 357 and 820, you left EHOME and afterwards several conflicts arises. Why did you decided to return to EHOME?
-''To be honest, I need a championship and EHOME seems to be the most suitable team. After 2010 came to a close, many clubs and players have a negative feedbacks towards me. I really appreciate 71 for believing in me and invited me to the team once more. I will work hard and not disappoint 71 and also my fans.''
-''Actually, it was 71 who called me. EHOME is a very stable team with effective training methods as well as experience through numerous big competitions. Also, 820, Dai and 357 are players who I really adore. 357 and 820 are also friends that I have known for a long time and it really motivates me more to come here. In the past, I was known as 520 which belongs to the 'three digits' group!''
In the previous club transfers, 430 was always with you. Why has he decided to part ways and not to join you this time around? Was he not invited to EHOME?
-''He was invited as well, we were suppose to join EHOME together but CCM had raised their offer. We had discussed about the situation as so much money was offered, plus the team is quite good. After listening to what I have said, he went to CCM. 430 is quite a talented player, his success came from all his hard work and i guess not many know that he has a nickname called 'Kael the Pianist' right?''
I guess its still playing through online matches which cant be considered as proper training, after playing for days, how are you fitting into the team? What are the results against DK and CCM?
-''No training so far, it was just playing for fun while trying out the new version and also warming up a bit. I still haven met DK or CCM yet, not even once. I've been playing under supporting role and what's strange is that I have lost the tempo in playing carry roles.''
So this means we will see you and 357 playing supporting and ganking roles more often in the future tournaments? How about the other member's role?
-''820 is our main carry at the moment follow by LaNm and Dai which handles semi-carry roles. 357 and I will be doing the supporting role for now. We will sort out our roles in the future based on our performance.''
So far, what is your understanding towards v6.71b? Which items will be a hit for this version and what heroes may make a come back to the competitive scene, for instance NW and OD?
-''Invoker, Weaver, Ancient and Doom. This 4 heroes poses major threats and if it is not banned then pick them. Smoke of Deceit is the best item so far followed by Medallion of Courage and Janggo of Endurance. Smoke of Deceit is best used for ganking while Medallion of Courage is good for killing Alchemist and Doom. All these items are best for VS, Janggo of Endurance can be used by every hero.''
-''I just don't have the feeling like i used to when i play carry. Every time when I see a battle, i will rush to the scene. How am i suppose to farm?''
Recently, your VS has been very impressive. Would you mind sharing your thoughts on how to play this hero the proper way?
-''I prioritize in leveling magic missle and terror which is a standard skill build. Command Aura should be learned once at level ten. Items build for VS varies too much. For example phase boots or power treads, magic wand, bracer, or a bottle, a lot of ways. If the pressure from opponent is too much and pushes you back, I go for power threads, phase boots in other conditions. VS needs to understand the vision of the map and co-ordinate with your teammates. Smoke of Deceit is a must, while gem for de-warding is also a key.''
After the recent transfers, DK, CCM and LGD has been strong. Do you think EHOME can regain back it's tittle as the best team after some trainings?
-''I believe in me and my teammates that we can do it. We don't have much plan this year yet. As for winning more tittles, everybody would want that.''
Alot of players are playing LoL in their spare time, have you been tried the game too?
-''Not really, I did play WoW in my spare time though. There's also a RPG game called ''Richest'', which is one of my all time favourite game.''
Anything to say before we conclude our interview?
-''Thank you to those who has supported me. Hope 2011 will be a good year ahead!''
