Interview questions for the organization (RUROE):

Dear players,On Jan. 6th, 2019. DouYuTV and RUROE collaboratively hosted the “CN vs. RU friendly show match” tournament. Fifteen Professional Chinese ROE E-Sport teams such as MDY, WE, VG went head on with fifteen top-level non-professional Russian ROE teams, they put on a fantastic show for everyone!This tournament used a BO5 format, Duo FPP mode on EU servers, and Chinese pro-team DLG took the 1st place with an overall 325 points, as well as MF and WF taking 2nd and 3rd. While Russian team ACES and PBL took 6th and 10th place.Here’s the Twitch VOD for RUROE’s stream of the tournament:Special shout-out to RUROE for their professional cooperation during this tournament, here’s their links:Here’s the final results for the tournament:After the games, we interviewed some of the Russian teams who performed excellently, let’s hear what they have to say about this tournament and ROE!1. How do you feel about the performance you had during the games?2. What was your team’s strategy during the games, can you provide some information on that?3. During the games, is there any strategic differences you noticed between the Russian teams and the Chinese teams?4. Which team (or player) was the most impressive for you? And why?5. How do you feel about using Duos or Squads in tournaments? Do you have a preference, what’s your reasons behind it?6. ROE’s new island map is releasing on January 16! What’s your expectations for it?1. Everything was very bad, and we relied on a different result, but we learned a lot of new things for ourselves and next time we will be ready to show ourselves worthily. I think other teams will agree with me too.2. We didn't prepare any strategies for this tournament, we just went in and focused on our aim and quick reactions to different situations.3. Almost all Chinese teams used FAMAS weapons, which was a big surprise for us. And they often just sat and waited.4. The WEFUN team was just on top, they really showed a cool and professional game. Worth watching replays and learn from them.5. Preference is more to DUO, but I also look forward to SQUAD. Squad still need to form and learn to play as a team.6. It is very interesting to see something new in the second season, and there is already too much snow, I want sun and heat.1. I consider, I played not very well, I didn’t know what to be ready for the first 2 matches, because our rivals are Chinese and I don’t know how they play. I played passively at the beginning and didn’t feel at ease because I always play aggressively and often win. Also I always play passively in tournaments and find someone is hard, you can go into the house and the enemy will kill you with a shotgun, though door are closed. In general, in the end, I could play much better and do more, there was also excitement. In squad mode, I do not have it.2. In the beginning we played from the zone and tried to learn how Chinese teams play. Closer to match 3, we began to play more aggressively.3. I noticed that China played more passively and they had a more team game. They used all the possible features in the game (such as checking from third mode in the car)4. Honestly, we played our game and tried to be as close as possible to each other in order to win.5. On the competitive scene, of course, the SQUAD mode is more, I think it is more honest and there are always chances for mistakes. Although we try not to do them.6. I'm really looking forward to a new card, I think it will be a big leap for the game.1. We took 10th place, of course not happy with how we played. There is something to draw conclusions.2. We didn’t really prepare the strategy, as it was a friendly match for us, but now we regret it, because it would be useful to us.3. Radical differences, our team has gained invaluable experience, because we have not seen such a game anywhere, on any public events / tournaments of EU/NA regions where we played. If we compare the main differences between the teams - the CIS teams were similar to combat robo-vacuum cleaners, which were worn on the map, collected loot and were just happy about the shootout. The Chinese were similar to experienced hunters who took a comfortable position and prepared a trap, waiting for the victim systematically and for a long time.4. Team WEFUN, they 4 games in a row showed a stable game at a high level in its established scheme. even in the 5th game we decided to go to their starting position and try on our strengths, in the end we were able to replay them, the sensations and the amount of adrenaline was indescribable.5. We are guaranteed to have three players, so we can play in duo mode without problems, but the squad is not always, if we assemble the line-up, then it looks more like a humorous runs in public games than a team that is set to win. I have hopes for the mode of bouts, where you can meet with strong teams, because in public in squad mode it is very difficult to meet worthy opponents, and often we are not very ready for such a meeting, playing with humor.6. I wait with anticipation, especially interesting are the new possibilities of the BMX and the hook, and of course I hope that the volcano will bomb in time with me!1. I think that we played very badly and lost tactically, because we didn’t take this match seriously.2. The strategy was: fast looting and then as quickly as possible moving to the zone on cars.3. Almost all Chinese teams in melee fight used FAMAS this was very surprising. After the first game, it immediately became clear that the Chinese are much better prepared than the collectives of the CIS.4. WEFUN - Definitely this team, they played very professionally, I think we should take note of them and learn from them.5. I think that duo and squad are the 2 most relevant formats. But at the moment it is very difficult to find good teammates.6. I think we are all looking forward to it, I hope it will be very cool! The main thing is that the optimization would be no worse than on the winter map.P.S. We would like to express special gratitude to the developers and the administration of RU Ring of Elysium (RUROE), for the opportunity to evaluate their strength at the international level. Thanks.1. In principle, I am satisfied with all I had little tournament experience, I think over time I will show results better, difficulties arose in movements in the mountains if there is no transport to climb the mountain in some places is simply not possible and sometimes you can break off and die at all. I think it is worth thinking about the mountainous terrain on the map, they are not finalized.2. Most of the time we are preparing for the squad tournaments, so we are not interested in duo. Tournaments played situationally played mainly in the zone.3. I liked the game of Chinese players, they played very slyly, for example, they sat in machines that no one had examined) it was a good experience. Teams from Russia played from zone and didn’t risk much.4. I liked how this guy "Iceberg" played, it seems to be a good experience in games, it feels good. He showed a good game.5. As I said above in the tournament plan, I like the squad of the game more precisely in them the team feels and the game becomes more interesting decreases randomly in the game, I don’t view the Duo tournament mode and play it extremely rarely, but Squad is another matter.6. I play a game, from start on Garena on the servers of Thailand and Indonesia I have a lot of impressions of the summer map and to be honest, I liked the optimization of that map and its beauty more. In old map I want to spend more time in game, despite my ping at 400 ms. That you came up with a new battle royale is of course great. But I would like to see the old mode or introduce it as a classic battle royale, I think it would be great).1. For me, this is not the first tournament experience, but I want to say that here I learned a lot of new things for myself. We honestly did not think that teams from China would be so prepared and professional.2. To occupy convenient spots, to play on a placement to the last phases, there to do kills.3. Teams from China played very actively and honestly to say their style of play was a surprise to us.4. WEFUN - I think everyone will mark this team, as they showed that style of play, shooting and tactics, which was new to us.5. I think that the DUO mode is not very professional. For me, the competitive scene of games in the genre of the battle royale, this is the SQUAD mode.6. Just waiting and hoping that there will be new emotions from the gameplay.1. Practically all the Chinese teams made confident tactical movements, and as for our team, the mistakes in the first 4 games were made more than they were in training.2. As in any other mode of play, play from the Circle by carefully approaching the final zone.3. Quite an aggressive style of play for the Chinese teams, and a couple of Russian teams (ACES team exactly.)4. debik from ACES team - His position, shooting style. We know him a little bit, he is a very good player.5. I think that the SQUAD mode is much better, there are more chances for mistakes. Of course, making mistakes on the competitive stage is bad, but in comparison with DUO, there are more chances.6. We are waiting, as all probably, new emotions, sensations from the game, new mechanics, classes, skins.1. My team by and large did not show any performance, gaining only a couple of kills and die in the second round, from team who dominated in each match. I am used to such results, so I’ll just wait for another chance to prove myself.As for the other teams, I would like to note that some Chinese teams could very steadily climb into the top while gaining a large number of points for the killings, this indicates a successful performance in general and a good level of strategy / flexibility and ability to adapt to different areas in particular.2. Initially, we did not prepare a certain strategy for the show match and apparently it was a mistake =)) collectively decided to just drop into our favorite public spot - Sigel, after we were killed in the first game it was a matter of principle to fight there and win on early game3. It seems to me that the difference between the Russian and Chinese teams lay in the approach to the match rather than in strategy or tactics, the Chinese colleagues took the opposition more seriously and were much more stable, which is logical4. As a native of PUBG, I was not very surprised by the gameplay shown by top teams, but I saw some of the moves in ROE for the first time, I was especially impressed with the tricks from KinGovoMango, DH-ZzQing and MDY-5, I would try to work them out and surprise EU and NA colleagues in competitive games5. In Battle-Royale game, DUO and SQUAD are very different as classic and blitz modes in chess, a different number of combat units on the map leads to completely different early-game and end-game, it seems to me that the DUO mode is more interesting for the audience while the SQUAD is more interesting to play by the players themselves. My team is ready to perform in any of the modes.6. I’m waiting most of all to try out the possibilities of new classes, especially the boarding hook is intriguing.1. What’s your thoughts on the participation of organizing this CN vs. RU show tournament?2. What’s your thoughts on streaming competitive ROE? Do the viewers think it’s entertaining to watch?3. During the games, which Chinese team (or player) was the most impressive for you? Why?4. During the games, which Russian team (or player) was the most impressive for you? Why?5. The new map- Europa Island will be released very soon, with tons of new features and changes, what’s the expectation levels of the Russian players?1. We are very pleased that it was an honor to cooperate with Tencent Games and hold such a great show match. We will be very happy to hold even more such events. It is a great honor for us. From the point of view of the organization, everything went well, I am glad that all participants were satisfied with this event. We will continue to do such major events.2. From the point of view of the broadcast, the audience was delighted and was looking forward to repeating such events. From the point of view of the competitive part, such events have always been and will be interesting to the audience, as they support their favorite players and support them through the broadcast.3. We want to immediately mark the WEFUN team, as it showed a really cool and professional game and dominated in almost all 5 rounds. But at the expense of the player, we really liked the player under the nickname MF_MrBB, who in the building of City Halls in Ring Mountain City was sitting in the car and waited his victim for a very long time like a real hunter.4. Here we want to say that we expected to see a very high-level game from the NoRecoil & NoRecoil2 teams, but unfortunately they could not show it. But the ACES team, on the contrary, pulled ahead and showed quite an interesting and high-quality game strategy, and the audience liked it very much, there were a lot of people who supported this team, like us :)At the expense of the players, I would like to mention EydzokuTV for his beautiful killings and borrowing for the 3rd round tactics of the Chinese teams, as well as the player under the nickname debik who in the 4th round made a very large number of kills and was a favorite.5. Oooh, we are waiting for the new map, like all players from Russia and the CIS countries. Players are eagerly awaiting her, new classes, Volcano mechanics, new weapons, as well as new Adventurer characters!That’s everything, we will continue to share more info when more ROE tournaments get hosted, stay tuned!-ROE DEV Team
