World Elite - The Twin Towers

The Twin Towers

myMYM's resident columnist United State- Frank "Mirhi" Fields wonders how successful will the Human duo of World Elite be in the future.

Two of the leading contenders for WC3L MVP have just won first and second respectively at NSL finals: China Human Xiaofeng "Sky" Li and China Human Wang "InFi" Xuwen, both world class players for the Chinese organization China World Elite.

Mirhi compares the Human duo with other similar pairs from other teams such as ReMinD and SoJu from SK-Gaming, as well as Lucifer and Susiria from MeetYourMakers. The article is also completed with an insightful interview with World Elite's manager Germany HoTLiPs.

What is the training regimen like in World Elite? How often do your players train, and what do they do to train?

Actually the guys are practicing every day and depending on our schedule also up to 10 hours daily. But especially Sky, he had a lot of other events going on recently, for example a film shooting in Beijing, meetings with our sponsors as well as photo shootings. Right now there is also an European film crew in China to portray Sky’s life but still he is trying to practice as much as possible. At the moment we have our internal team match going on where every player has to play everyone, including our WE.09 talents. We also try to change the map pool and the rules from time to time to have a good preparation for the next big tournament. To answer your question, how the players exactly train, it is a mix of both strategy and micro-management.

Sky and InFi used some strategies at NSL that they hadn't used before, had they been working on those before and was it planned they would use them on this tournament?

Those strategies were definitely planned and practiced before the match. Of course every gamer wants to use the most powerful strategy according to the map and player he meets to have the best chances for the victory. It is also a question of confidence, if you feel much better using the Mountain King first against an Orc player because your latest practice results showed that you lost much more games using the AM, then you won’t choose an old strategy just because you used it many times before. I actually like it when gamers change their style and their strategies frequently, because it makes the game much more interesting these days. But still more people stick to old strategies for a couple of reasons.
