It’s 2pm and the practice room is full of shouting voices. Even though they’re on break today, all the the players decide to stay in the gaming house and continue practising. Everyone sits on their appointed seats according to their position on the team. On the desk of the second seat from the right (grey hoodie) are 4 or 5 bottles of mineral water. And on that seat, a familiar person appears.

Dealing with poor internet connection, KaKAO helplessly shakes his head. But he doesn’t complain at all. Instead, he just keeps trying to reconnect.

LEAVING INVICTUS GAMING

Although iG’s results in season 5 weren’t too good, this veteran organisation can still be considered one of China’s top-tier teams. When KaKAO first came to the LSPL, many fans were shocked.





“I was really happy in iG, and being in WY (his current team) is not bad either. I don’t want to make any comparisons between both of them, because I only want to win regardless.”









“I’m competing in the LSPL now, but it doesn’t feel much different from when I was competing in the LPL. On the contrary, I feel like I’m playing better than I’ve ever played in my career.”





KaKAO has been working hard to improve on his Mandarin ever since he arrived in China. He knows that if he wants to compete in the LPL once again, he needs to know the language and have synergy with the team.





“We require all the players to wake up before 11:30am every day. KaKAO is always first to wake up and first to sit in the practice room and play ranked. He also works out every day. He is a player who has a lot of self-control.”





“KaKAO is very jolly. When nothing’s going on, he would randomly sing and and lift the team atmosphere. At first, I thought he would be very difficult to get along with, but in reality he’s just a simple person - he knows how to put his head down and work hard.” - team manager







ATTACK ON (THE) LPL

As a new team, the players on WY have only played together for nearly two months. Sitting in the mid-range of the LSPL ladder, WY are not satisfied with their results.





“Our team has no leader and communication is another problem. But the bigger problem is the players’ individual strength. If all the players try as hard as KaKAO does, our team would improve a lot. “ - team coach





When asked what are the chances that WY win the Spring Split, KaKAO laughs and answers “10%”. But he remains confident: “We will become stronger.”





“I know this path is very difficult to walk down. But since I chose it, I only have one goal in mind - to compete in the LPL with my team.”





Q: If you met your former teammates, what would you say to them?

KaKAO: I’ll worry about that after we enter the LPL.

Q: Do you know that many of your fans are quietly concerned about and miss you?

KaKAO: Yep… I know.

Q: Do you have anything to say to your fans?

KaKAO: Rather than say that I want to get good results for everyone to see… I trying my best in the LSPL. Thank you all for your support. I hope you can continue to encourage us. I will return to the LPL, so please wait for me.
