143 real stories about the OWWC 2019 Team China.

1.At the beginning of this year's selection of the three member group of the organizing committee, I asked the Xiaogui and the coach Rui, "will you join us this year?"

Xiaogui: "GO!"

Rui: "Let me think about it."

Xiaogui: "if you don't come, you will pay 10% interest on the 40 dollars you owe me last year, and you will pay me 40000 dollars from last year to now."

Rui：“😱”

Xiaogui&I：“Rui !Go Go GO!!”

Rui: "I just want to win a world championship then retire. Last year if we had enough time to analysis Team South Korea , We had a chance to win. Team South Korea's double snipers meta were not strong. When we play in Gibraltar, our double snipers had already suppressed them If we had played double sniper all the time, We can win !It was a pity.

Xiaogui: "well, what we’ll do next is to work hard again, my friends."

——If you can return to glory again one day, remember to find me, my good friend.



2. When Kyo，Jinmu，Elsa and Yveltal went to the interview together, I asked Yveltal to be the team leader to take the lead in answering questions. At that time, the interviewer asked Yveltal, "what's your education background?" "The highest academic qualification of our team is undergraduate," said witty Yveltal immediately. Later when they came out, I asked Yveltal who was the undergraduate he had just referred to. He said it was Yang Xiaolong, hahaha.

In addition, there was an interviewer next door who also told the interviewer that he knew them. Before the start of OWL, Chengdu Hunter was interviewed with the interviewer next door. "I heard that the team had a good result," he said



3.When Elieen first arrived in Chengdu, I took a picture for him. I sent it to him and he said, "who is this man? What a retarded look. "



4.Elsa and Elieen had a super good relationship. They were in double row every time. We had a voice channel in YY of the world cup Team China called Luo Wen Jie. There was space in the middle. If you didn't know what the meaning of the space meant, you can go to BiliBili to search for the Ying Liu Zhi Zhu. There was also space in the middle.

5.I think the reason why they had such a good relationship was that when Elieen arrived at the base on the first day, only Elsa got up. Elsa warmly welcomed him and showed him around the base. The friendship boat between them set sail at this time.

6. Elieen and Jinmu were "good brothers". In training, if Elieen died first and Jinmu killed enemies, Elieen would say, "Jinmu My brother!Nice!."

7.But if Jinmu died first and Elieen finished killing enemies, Jinmu would say, "good brother, well done." Elieen would reply, "I'm not your brother. I don’t have such brother like you. I'm your apparent brother."

27.Coach Rui's skincare product was upgraded from last year's Estee Lauder pomegranate suit to SK2 facial treatment essence. He said the pomegranate was too sticky. He didn't use it.

41.We saw the coach Rui's Tencent Weibo, hahaha, Kyo said: "the coach's old video is interesting."



42. Yveltal 's glasses were wrapped with a layer of napkin. It was because the place behind his ears where he wore glasses was allergic and was festering. He didn't get better with the ointment, so he kept on wrapping napkins until the finals.



43. When we talked about playing in secret chamber, Yveltal said that he was called the king of secret chamber, and there was no secret chamber can block him for three minutes. Elsa said he was lying, because among these people, Yveltal was the least courageous. Yveltal began to boast: "the bosses of the secret chamber in Zunyi city(Yveltal`s hometown) are afraid to see me."

47.Chengdu Hunters provided a lot of support to the national team this year.They contributed the villa base with excellent conditions and all kinds of daily necessities.The base aunts also cut all kinds of fruits and put them on the table in the training room for the convenience of the national team players.During the training period of adjusting the time difference in national team, Chengdu hunters also specially cooked for the national team for their convenience.



48.When we took makeup photos in China, we said, "it's very photogenic for Guxue to take photos." "I have good facial features," said Guxue.



49.Before the expedition, I went to Daci Temple in Chengdu to pray for this year national team. I later learned that they also went to Shanghai Jing'an Temple to pray for this national team in the last year.



50.On the day of the expedition ceremony, before the opening of the shopping mall for the ceremony, there were a large number of fans waiting for hours in advance in the rain.



51.On the day of the expedition ceremony, all members of team China spent two hours signing for all the fans present.The number of photos that national team signed for fans all over the world was definitely the most in history.



52.This time, we were going to the United States on a HNA airline. I found that we can take super economy class or spacious safe passage seats for only a few hundred yuan more.With my help, the whole team enjoyed better seats. They felt that I was sent by the airline.But there was no WiFi in the whole flight, which was very tiring.



53.The coach Rui began to have diarrhea after watching six episodes of "Chen Qing Ling" on the plane.He began to have a fever after taking the medicine for diarrhea given by the stewardess......



54.On the way back, the coach Rui couldn't hold up his body. He and I got a business class together.I said, "Yo! Coach has a lot of money recently! "he said if he returned home in 13 hour economy class, he may die.

But we both forgot to exercise our business class right until boarding. We didn't go to the priority check-in room, VIP lounge and so on. Coach Rui said we were laymen....

55.It was hard to make an appointment for this year's scrim. The PTR version shall be adopted by the national team. At that time, many teams were preparing for the Gauntlet , not the same version. Creed and I found many acquaintances and it was hard to make an appointment for the scrim. At that time, Huamao and T1W manager were also helping us to make an appointment, but it was still very difficult. So I could only tweet to other countries national teams for scrim. I still remembered the first reply to me was the Philippines, then Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Russia, Japan and France all replying that they would like to play with us in scrim. Saudi Arabia also asked me if we could play a t scrim. BLG manager told us that it could fully cooperate with the national scrim. I also want to thank South Korea's head coach of their national team, Crusty. Before they assembled at that time, I asked him if it was convenient for we to make an appointment for the scrim. He replied very quickly that they had no problem, and came to us to make an appointment immediately after they started the training. I didn't know why we started to praise each other when I met Crusty in the South Korean Gauntlet. He praised the Chinese team for being really strong this year. I said that the South Korean team was really strong. We learned a lot from the scrim with Korean national team. After the world cup, the two of us also encouraged each other, hoping to get better results next year. I would also like to thank Youngjin and Jin for helping us to have a lot of O2 and meta training matches. At the time when we were most in need of training games, their help ultimately ensured the amount of scrim. We joked that the team was a friend of our national team.



56.In order to have a better match, we all adjusted the time difference several days in advance.On the national team base can you hear the coach RUi say, "It's nine o'clock in the evening. Everyone goes to bed and gets up at one o'clock in the middle of the night to replay."



57.The coach Rui said: "Once, no one else rushed, Yveltal was the first to rush into the enemy's pile. Then 1v6 died and he turned back and asked his teammates why they didn't help him? "



58.Every day after the training match, the national team will spend three to four hours to replay.



59.During the training, the coach Rui sometimes gave a player a separate chance to replay, and one day, he gave Jinmu three hours to replay.



60.Every time the coach helped Jinmu replay, the coach Rui always jokingly asked him, "Are you playing a hammer?" Kim once said, "I'll try harder then."



61.Elsa said that the game booster in our country was really easy to use and very reliable net.It help us a lot when playing with the European team in the scrim.



62. Yveltal said, "I'm going to have a sound barrier!" Everyone found that it was almost 70%...



63.Creed said his DJ was better than Yveltal. When I talked with Creed, I said that in fact, many players can't aim while commanding, which will affect the accuracy. According to Creed, all reactions can be completed by muscle memory through practice, so as to shoot accurately at the same time of command. That was how he practiced when he was at MY.

64.Both the coach Rui and Creed thought Kyo was the most stable in the whole team. His Moira played very well in the world cup. The coach said Kyo had a good character and was suitable for professional matches. Kyo didn't look through Weibo forums, but spent his time playing the rank.



65.I asked the coach Rui if we had a strong squad. The coach said “No, all the players are balanced and there is no strong one in particular.”



66.In the group match, Yveltal 's Mercy took out his gun and killed many opponent.



67.Before the OWWC,I talked with the coach Rui and we really made it our first goal to ensure that the team can qualify to elimination series. Because our scrim results of this year were not very good. Although the results of last year's scrim were not very good either, but last year's several players were not particularly like to talk and communicate in the training match, but they were crazy to talk and communicate in a real match. So even if they lost last year's scrim, they still understood that the reason for losing was that they didn't like communication in the scrim, and they knew that they would start to communicate and talk crazily once they arrive at the real match, and they would definitely win.

But this year's situation was that at the beginning of the training matches, the players were very active in communicating and talking, but they still lost, so at first there were some real worries about this year's competition.



68.The coach Rui later talked to me about the views of the two national teams this year and last year. He thought that the reason why the national team won last year lay in the talent of three DPS and the strength of Winston last year, and Sky kept giving Guxue resources. And last year's squad could have a lot of changes, and they could take a lot of DPS, and there was also lateyoung playing a lubricant role and so on.

But this year, there were only six players in the national team who couldn't change their squad, and lock 222 and not Dive tank. He said that if this year’s version was the version of the Winston and Dva, they had a great chance to win, because Guxue and Elsa were very relieved to take the Winston and Dva. Elsa himself said that if they played last year's version of the world cup this year, they would win the world champion.



69.The coach RUi said that the advantage of this year's national team was a good atmosphere. I was not saying that the atmosphere in the team was bad last year, but the atmosphere was better this year. Everyone had a great relationship. We played, ate, trained and went out to watch movies and gossiped together every day. Under the influence of unity and cohesion, although the training time of this team was not long, and the version limited the strong heroes, and the results of scrim were not particularly good, but this team once again went to the stage of the World Cup finals.



70.This year, only Jinmu had a little trouble crossing the customs. He said that the customs asked him all the time, but he couldn't speak English, so he had to wait worriedly. He didn't pass the customs successfully until an English speaking Chinese helped him. "I feel like I'm going to be denied entry," he said😫😫..



71.Before the game, Jeff came backstage. Guxue and Elieen both asked him for a picture. Before going to take the photo, they were discussing: "Shall we ask him when to delete Doomfist fist?"



72.But from last year to this year, my feeling was that when everyone came to America every year, no one can have enough sleep time, because the jet lag was still unlikely to be adjusted. Even if coach Rui made us adjust the time difference ahead of schedule in China, some players woke up every morning at three a.m. and then sent messages in the group to say, "I can't sleep."



73.When Elieen arrived in the United States, his nose bleed again, just as he did when he came to the United States in the world cup the year before last.



74.When we attended matches this time, we still didn't have time to go shopping around like last year. But this time, I made a reservation for everyone in advance, ha ha. I bought all the basic things everyone wanted. The goods we bought most are Dva Kigurumi. Almost everyone bought it, including the coach RUi. And the Dva Pachimari was also very popular. There was no sale in China.😃





75.Guxue wanted to buy Black Bomber jacket . He told me to buy one for M, L and XL respectively. I thought he needed to give them away when he bought them. As a result, he said he bought them for himself this year and for himself next year and for himself the year after next...



76. Before the game of the second day, coach got up from a 2-hour-sleep for he had watched the Team France video for the whole night. And that, caused the return of his cervical spine problem. He felt dizzy and the eyes started to hurt. Thanks to the staff for getting some ointment, his pain was a bit relieved.



77. Guxue collected all sorts of leak news, and told us 8 new heroes would be released on the Blizzcon, Yveltal did not believe it, and made a bet with him with proof of sound record. And the 8 new heroes turned out a fake leak eventually.



78. After watching the CG movie of OW2, Elsa: "Guys my mind is not here in the arena, I just wanna try OW2." So was Guxue.



79. Guxue could turn really gossip when facing leak news. Just before OW2 was announced, he kept spreading leak news of all kinds. XD



80. When watching OW2 video, there was a scene, and we discussed:"Check this Mei, 3 right-click shots and not dead, how tough was that! XD"



81. When watching new CG, Jinmmu yelled at Torbjorn: "wow check this Brigitte!"

83. We were watching the Friend Zone updates of wechat, and Jimmu:"Us young men, we use only Q-zone."



84. Netease CC invited us to a great dinner, and we were so happy about it, shouting to "eat their wallet up"-- 😬and was forbid by coach, who was afraid that we could have eaten too much and got sick. So the budget was spent like, only 1/3.



85. Elsa had completely forgotten his other bag, and walked out, until 1 staff got out and yelled"Whose bag?!"I remember same thing happened on Jimmu.



86. Eileen met Aspen after the game, and took a photo. I was told that Aspen was excited and said to the crowd:"Eileen said I was cute!" Yet, after hearing that Apsen was Happy's godess, Eileen said:"Good, Happy cries I laugh."



87. Other's fans were shouting"Jimmu awesome! Eileen awsome! Guxue awesome! Kyo awesome! Elsa awesome!" while Yveltal's fans were :"Yveltal, mum love you!"



88. The GZ Charge ex tactical coach Curryshot came to the game to cheer for Eileen. He's a big fan, and kept telling people Eileen was Doomfist god. But Eileen always says:"Don't!" when he hears it.



89. Peripheral device had always been a problem, each and every year I repeated be careful and the problem repeated itself.

Last year some was damaged with checked baggage, so this year I insisted that all perpheral devices must be taken with us, yet again, some were broken!

Right-click of Eileen's mouse was dead, mic on Jimmu's head set fell off... I told them to bring a spare set and no one listened. Fortunately coach had brought his set out of the same consideration. He uses the same mode of Eileen's mouse and Jinmmu put on his head set, all saved -- or I was gonna kill these two!😃

Fake alarm with Guxue's keyboard, the hand set fell when he was joking with Eileen and tried to smash him with it. 😃😃😃😃Luckily it mattered nothing.

Elsa lost his wire clip.

And in the very morning of the Finals, Eileen lost his mouse pad, he claimed he was 100% sure he had brought it back to the hotel, so we searched all the rooms, the store and checked everywhere we could think about. This Artisen mouse pad was a Japanese brand product and there was no place to buy in LA😂.

Just when he decided to use, again, coach'es pad, and got in the game, I felt like I could try 1 last time and went to the training room--there at the lost-and-found desk, was his damned pad, among with many others. I recognized it because it was the only one with Japanese characters on it. And I only wanted to roll this pad into a hammer to smash Eileen's head!🙃🙃🙃🙃

Both of our 2 DPS players use pink keyboard. It was like "Pink the keyboard, take the killing board."

Next year I'm gonna MAKE! all players! bring! a! spare! set!



90. Jimmu had finally found the key of taking pictures. That's opening his eye, wide! After the game against Team France, Bigya came and said to him:"Your Pharah was really good!"He said:"Nah, still not good at air battle." Bigya was so excited to see this boy who used to stream with him turning into a big star.



91. There was an interview to Yveltal and Eileen before the game. It was supposed to be simple questions like what's your favourite movie and sort. But after it was done, they came out and told me:"Nothing about the movies, all deep questions, deep!"



92. Elsa found his head set a problem when we were training in the net cafe. He kept hearing other games' sound. Then we found he had plugged his wire into other customers machine.



93. We emphasized before the game, that we must keep our physical condition, for we got a dozen games to play in one day. Last year we played against Finland on the first day and Canada on the second, then the Finals, but this year, it was a tougher and longer row.



94. Before the group match, we said to the players:"let's play hard and got out the group with a nice score, otherwise there won't be a chance to show your face, especially you Elsa, think about your new hair style!"



95. The place for group match was not big, teams sat closed to each other. Jinmmu said:"Volume up guys, and make them feel noisy"



96. Cell phones were collected, no one touched during the game.



97.We were not allowed to get in to watch the group games. But to skip the delay of streaming and get 1st hand info, we were crouching at the entrance and peeping through a seam we opened on the curtain.😂



98. Eileen sat on the 1st place to the right, so we can see his screen.

His Widowmaker's crosschair was really small, the smallest dot, could barely see it. But many times, he located the enemy and opened the scope, and he just told the team:"One down." then after maybe 0.5 second, ding! the target was then killed. It showed that he's really good and confident, he knew and he made sure that happened.



99. In group games, Eileen felt good with right-click and joked that he could go and win a lottery.



100. Before the last 2 group games, I told them:"Go win the game,there are people watching in China."They said:"Really? This late?" “Yes, they stay up for your victory.” -- Our campaigns have always been with the cheering of our fans, no matter where or when.



101. In group games, Eileen was really active in comms so he drinked water and went to the bath room like crazy. Eileen was remembered by the whole group because of it. We call him the new Lateyoung, but this boy would rather lose his voice after the interview than lose even 1 map! His craving for victory would never stop.



102. Coach admitted it was a wrong roster pick against Netherlands, otherwise we could not have lost that 1 map.



103. There was a Lucio of other team, eliminated with a sound barrier charged but not used, coach said:"Another Yveltal."



104. There was a Pharah of other team, used his ultimate with the enemy's shield sticked to his face, coach was:"Old Jimmu."



105. When Sinatraa drew the dragon blade, Jimmu, said:"Jimmu Blade!" then with 0 elimination, he said:"True Jimmu Blade."



106. There was a scene that Eileen's Reaper fell off the cliff, but he teleport himself up again when the audience took a really loud gasp. He said afterwards that the enemy Lucio pushed him but he got his skill ready for it.



107. Elsa used his Sigma's ult, made a C9 of the enemy, the whole team yelled:"Nice lift Luo Wenjie!"



108. When he was really enjoying, Eileen shouted:"Smash the hell out of them!"



109. While watching Team Autria, these boys said:"There's something with Team Austrilia... " and coach was:"Where's CKM?"



110. One of our fans took a screenshot of Elsa watching Sigma's skill intro. He said it was not possible, until I show it to him. Then we asked:"So what tank skill do you not know?"



111. When all games of the first day were finished with full victorys, I asked if they felt tired. Kyo and Elsa said:"It's ok, same as our routine training rounds."



112. Coach said he hoped we could fight Team South Korea, there's a great chance that we could win.



113. When playing against Team France, Muzi was sitting on our side. Then Team France took the first map, and got 1-0. We sent him away immediately, and told him not to come back till the game ended. So he ran and said:"There, I'm going."



114. IDK if anyone remembered that back in 2017, it was Team France who shut us down. This year we would not be stopped again by their Bastion meta, Eileen of the 2019, had won it back for Eileen of the 2017!





115. Eileen bowed 90º twice to the Audience after the game.



116. Kyo was asked which team he wanted to play against, US or South Korea and his answer was:"Either, no difference."



117. Eileen wanted to fight against the "OWL good Genji" Haksal.



118. Just before the Finals, Carpe came and said Good luck, Team South Korea also sent their best wished to us.



119. Team Netherlands and Team Denmark came to cheer for us too.



120. Just before it started, we heard that a Chinese player had just won the championship of Hearthstone. We were like:"Wow! But it just feels like last year, see, a championship of Hearthstone and we are about to take the Finals." and then... well, it really was the same script.



121. When entering the Arena, we all heard "Welcome Team USA" but the staff kept pushing Eileen out. He's out... Super and Corey were shocked and said, USA? USA! Corey wanted to follow Eileen😂, but got stopped by staff. There was the fog so it was over soon. The two teams were laughing, sort of eased the tension. Kyo started to call Eileen American Chinese. Guxue said Eileen heared it wrong, but Eileen insisted the host called it wrong, and swore he would kill this Cucumber Spirit if he would not shut up😃.



122. Coach Rui still could not let go of the first map's lose. He said on the second scene of Ilios, when he saw Sinatraa was eliminated at 99% point taking overtime, he jumpt and thought the victory was surely ours, but the end went differently. He said if we took the 1st map, things could have been different.



123. Coach Rui was supposed to be allowed to go up to the stage after every map and trange the strategy and we could go up there cheering for the team. But time was not enough, the chance was changed to every 2 maps. Coach said if he could go up there after the 1st map, they should play better in the next maps.



124. We didn't train enough with Bastion meta. In the scrim games, most games were about Reaper, and the maps of the Finals were not on top of our training list either. We were focusing on the group games. Coach said, we were not fully prepared against Bastion meta, so he thought we did just fine under the circumstance.



125. I have known coach Rui for more than 2 years. Each year he mentioned to me once or twice, he's too tired, and wanted to take a break, and asked how about being a commentator. I said, no! How can a team without you being coach? He smiled and said, he could just retire and started to stream, make the competitive environment better. When speaking to him, I found some more grey hair on his young head, more than last year.



126. When the Final Game ended, when the fireworks, ribbons, music, light and camera were all focused on Team USA, I went up to the stage and watched our players unplugging their devices, quietly. I tapped their shoulder and said:"It's fine, we did well. Great game guys." I could see the lost and depressed look from their eyes, for this one match, but I could also see their desire on the trophy their will for victory. I believe they won't give up, we, won't give up. They will be the stars that keep shining for CNOW.



127. Guxue said he had never been a champion. Eileen said him either.



128. I asked Kyo:"If we won the championship, are you still not gonna post a Weibo?” He smiled:"Nope."



129. I asked coach, everyone is updating their social media status except you, why don't you? Coach said:"I don't have any pictures, quickly, sent me pictures!"



130. After the game, Kyo was asked his opinion on the championship of Hearthstone. He said:"I hope that next year, we can also bring an Overwatch championship home together."



131. Something serious happened to Xiaogui's family during the OWWC, and his physical condition had not been quite good back then. This year had been tough for him, yet he had always been there with Team China, thank you Xiaogui.



132. Standing on the stage, Xiaogui, coach and I had one final hand shake for the trip:"Good job guys, for another year."



133. After the Finals, the manager and staff of GZ Charge came to see Eileen. Mr. Ou Yiliang, who had always been calm by far, showed a little tears around his eyes when they tapped his shoulder, hugged him and told him:"Eileen you're great, we're so proud of you."



134. I'm a cryer, tears could really drop easily. I'd made it through when we lost the final round, when I got to lead them off the stage, and then onto the stage for the ceremony, but I lost it after seeing Ou yiliang's weibo and the comments below. Blizzard invited us to a hot pot dinner, and I almost cried during the meal. Don't post things this emotional next time, for I had to go ouside to make my tears gone with the wind.



135. We reached the US at the 30th's night, and as too many teams were going to play in the trials the next day, us seed team must find our own place to train. Luckily, we had asked earlier in a group chat of OWL topic in the US, and one of our fans opens a net cafe near the Arena, he offered us his place to train .

136. We got a team of Chinese students in the US to play scrim with us, and they helped us contact another OD top 3 team. Thanks to the quality time we spent together, and the training went well, many of the training was helpful in the second day's group games.



137. We want to thank all the Chinese fans who took part in the Game Watching Parties all over the world, and thanks to the organizers in every city.

44+ cities had held this party, more than 4000+ fans participated, including 260 volunteers. Jin Beibei was in charge of preparing all the cheering material, with a total number of over 40000, what a tough and great job! Team China had eaten more than 100kg fruit in the training base, and watermelon was their favourite. Files in our designer's computer took over 10.08GB space, and Siheng, our designer, had made a very touching video for the Lijiang Tower Hero Wu Hongyu. Thanks to him, and thanks to all who truely love CNOW.

Special thanks to the fans at the Blizzcon. The Arena was full of US fans, but there was a certain area behind Team China, there sat Chinese fans, shouting, cheering out loud for Team China, leading by two boys, letting us know that we are always supported.

Thanks to all the audience in front of the screen. I received many sreenshots of the stream channel. We didn't win a championship, yet they stayed up all night long to cheer for us so we could receive their appreciation and praise across thousands of miles.

Thanks to Blizzard staff for their full-time assistance and help, and thanks to Netease staff for their support.

Thanks to the fans who sent us their gifts and food, thanks to the net cafe owner. We had received Mc Donald from the same fans this year, as we had received Red bull from the same fans of the last year -- they had made us not to worry about things out of the game, at all.



138. Before the training started, coach Rui gave us a speech:

" We were lucky to have entered the e-sport industry and lucky to represent China, there's not many chances like this in our life, so I hope that we could stick together, and win glory and honour for the motherland, especially the 70th anniversary made this trophy more meaningful. We had some regrets last year, but many players had grown up this year through the OWL. We still have many tough enemies ahead, many challenges waiting. Last year, there were so many possibles left, like we could have striked out directly in the first map instead of flanking into the point; could have a chance against their protection of McCree, if we chose to save our tanks' advantages; could have Sky sticked together if we were not 100:0 and he would not have blame himself ever since; In the last map, we switched, Leave played Zen and the chance had turned into 50:50, and when our players were at their normal status, they were very powerful, but their's no buts. There was not enough time as I got to research team Canada for the whole night. This year I have asked Creed for help, I couldn't use more help now to avoid the same situation of last year you know. So as we have all been given a second chance, I hope there won't be any regret this year. In a common meta, we just need to make sure of our comms and cooperation are clear, supports can protect each other, calculating and using ults can not be forgotten any moment... specially the comms. We need to keep everyone's normal status, make us feel more like a team, then we will naturally be a powerful team.

Things could be hard this year, but I hope the will of fighting not be reduced, we just fight harder in the hard battle. Just practice till the personal and team strength reach our limits, and we strike for the championship. Last year we were almost shut down for we took too much time warming up in the group match. This year we must take the 1 place in the group, so we can be directly in the semi finals, facing South Korea, or US. Team Canada is strong, and I believe whoever can make it to the semi final game, will be a team of same level, so don't get sloppy just because we would face one of the teams like Russia, Denmark, Sweden, Australia or Thailand. Fight for CNOW!"



139. Leave had always been cheering for us.



140. I had shot 533 videos of over 99GB during this year's OWWC, hope a good video can be edited. I had actuallly bought some expensive equipments for an epic documentary movie, then I found that I could not have enough hands for filming, editing and communicating at the same time, more equipments more trouble. So I used my old small camera, and sometimes even my cell phone.😂😂



141. Check the news papers of this year and last year.



142. When Leave had to leave this year's team due to his physical condition, coach wanted to recruit a DPS, or Ameng for a different meta, but the schedule was almost impossible for the visa application. Faraway was considered too, but he had lost his passport with US visa once. These two players were willing to join Team China, but eventually, we could not recruit a 7th player due to the force majeure.

And we got our only 6 players fought all the battles and kept the same glory of last year.



143. I've been with 2 Teams of China, and won 2 silver medals, there were regrets but I felt no sorry for ourselves. Only sorry we could not bring more joy for our fans.

Maybe some would consider a second place was nothing to talk about; some would get use to such result; some might even consider this bad. But this year's silver medal was just as tough as it of last year.



Strange things happened this year, but us committee did our best.

It became a habit for me to keep recording these little things of OWWC, so that we could check our path in the future, and then I believe these memories will be beautiful.



The lights in the players' eyes, were touching. Their effort and hard working are carved in my mind. They have written their names in the history of Overwatch. We have waited 8 years for an LOL World Championship, so we can wait for you guys too.



We charge into the center of the battle, and we fight our way out of the mist, this is what we do.
