According to War3station in the interview, besides of Invitation Tournament, the last Offline Title before WGL Winter 2019 for Lyn is WCA 2016. Seems like Lyn created the full strategies for any match-up after WGL Summer 2019. In the second half of 2019, Lyn has even won at least 5 tournaments so far.

After the Final of WGL Winter 2019, War3station got a chance to interview Lyn. Let’s take a read to see what they have talked.

Q: Hello Lyn, congratulations again, for winning the WGL Winter 2019. This is also the first title of ESM (E-sports Shanghai Masters). How are you feeling?



Lyn: I am very happy, because I had never won a championship in WGL Offline before this. I am very honored to be able to win this championship for the Horde. I also made a lot of prepare for this tournament.



Q: It looks like your strategies were effective on all of the maps of the Finals today. Did you prepare and do researches to counter Happy’s play-style?



Lyn: I didn’t find any Undead player to practice this time. Before this WGL, I looked for Human and Night Elves to practice, but I’m still quite confident. There are only 120 if I want to find someone to practice and counter Happy, but this time I didn’t do that. Actually, I had some strategies and I ran them in my mind before the game.



And, at the beginning of the series, I slowed down the rhythm on the first map and let Happy “relax”, I didn’t play so “fiercely”. His micro is so strong. Anyway, yes, I did think several strategies to counter Happy.



Q: Can you comment about your performance of the two Bo5 series that you played on the final day, how many points do you give yourself, if the full mark is 10?



Lyn: I am very dissatisfied with my shape when in the first game against Romantic, I think I can only score about 7 points.



And in the series against Happy, I made the countering strategies effective (which I thought before the game), but there were still some small mistakes. Moreover, I shouldn’t lose the second map, there were many micro mistakes, like I didn’t pass the Heal Potion to my SH. And my BM used the greater Heal Potion in the base! However, the overall performance of that Bo5 is not bad. My micro is relatively good in that series, I think I can score 8-9 points.



Q: 2019 is a bumpy year for you. In the first half of the year, we may say that your shape is relatively down. But in the second half of the year, you were coming back rapidly and winning more than 10 championships. How did you adjust your shape?



Lyn: At the beginning of the year, I had no desire to play game. It may be due to the changes of the patch, or I just lost interest in the game. Later, I saw FoCuS suddenly rised, and I felt the light. Then I kept practicing and thinking. At the end of the year, I won this championship that I always wanted.



[Translator’s Note: I don’t know how they count it.]



Q: Ok, so it’s like “天道酬勤(Success will wave to you when you do enough effort)”. Let’s have some relax questions. How will you spend the your prize money?



Lyn: I will leave it to my wife to save it ~ Hehe ~



Q: What was the small white thing in your hand during the game? Many fans guess if it is your lucky charm.



Lyn: I bought an electric hand warmer on Double Eleven, because I felt cold when I was on the stage. Holding this will help me keep my hands in warm, it will keep me in a better competitive shape.



[Translator Note: Double Eleven means 11th November, on this day, many companies will have promotions of selling.]



Q: Will you still smoke after winning this championship?



Lyn: Hahaha, for this question, I want to say sorry to my dear fans and audiences. I said I will quit smoking when I was streaming, but I couldn’t make it. I’m sorry, I’m sorry hahaha.



[Translator note: There is a memes, the Chinese fans always say that Lyn will smoke after he loses a game, for feeling better after the bad game.]
