In addition to romance, which other Chinese Warcraft players have won championships abroad?

Mondo Sports Updated on 2024-02-06

*Old article, take the opportunity of romance to win the championship and review it together.

In the 2024 Dubai Warcraft offline competition, Romantic, as the only Chinese player in the competition, finally won the championship over 7 European and Korean players including happy, moon, and focus. This is also the second time since 2009 that Chinese Warcraft players have reached the top in foreign offline competitions.

So, in addition to romance, which other Chinese Warcraft players have won championships abroad? Let's take stock today.

Sky - WCG has won two consecutive championships

Singapore and Monza, Italy, these two places are no stranger to WAR3 fans, it is here that the emperor Sky completed his WCG double title, and it is with these two championships won abroad, Sky and Chinese Warcraft officially appeared on the world stage.

In the 2005 WCG, with the defeat of Moon in Korea, FOV was eliminated early, and Sky's chance to reach the top came. In that game, Sky defeated Grubby in the group stage, picked out TOD in the semi-finals, and defeated the "Elf Prince" Shortround in the final with a sharp TR and solid defensive counterattack, and successfully planted the flag of Singapore.

In 2006, WCG, Sky traveled to Monza, Italy, and his goal was to defend his title. Sky ultimately lived up to expectations. In the 1 8 finals, he angrily slashed the outrageous Gostop, defeated the Beastmaster Grubby in the 1 4 finals, eliminated the European Dark Night Spirit Leader - HOT known as the "Nerve Knife" in the semifinals, and finally defeated the "Romantic Terran" TOD 2:0 in the final Terran Civil War to win the championship.

In that difficult era, such an achievement was achieved away from home, and Sky deserved the title of "China's first person in e-sports".

Infi – the first Chinese Warcraft player to win the championship in South Korea

There seems to be a kind of magic that has always been there in Korean soil. Not only e-sports, but also other sports, and other national teams are also difficult to play their due strength, such as the 2002 Football World Cup.

Warcraft is no exception, and before the 2007 IEF, there had never been a Chinese Warcraft player who could win the championship in South Korea. At the time, few people would have thought that INFI would be able to end this record, after all, he was only a teenager under 18 years old at the time. As a result, in the IEF 2007 finals, INFI was a blockbuster, and Lianke FOV, Xiaot and Lyn won the final championship. As the first Chinese Warcraft player to win the cup in South Korea, Tamo officially set sail from Seoul.

What do you think of Moscow in 2008? If you're a football fan, your first instinct is probably that classic Champions League final. And for infi fans, there is another memorable moment in Moscow in 2008, and that is the story of the Kode5 2008 infi victory.

The 18-year-old infi came to Moscow alone (he was the only Chinese player to compete). That game was a hotbed of upsets, Moon was defeated by Soccer and missed the finals, and famous players such as TOD, Grubby, and Happy were also upset in the top 8.

In addition, INFI also won the runner-up of the 2010 BlizzCon Carnival in the United States, and when it comes to foreign wars, INFI is definitely a good player.

fly - the 2009 fly is invincible

It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that IEF is a blessed land for Chinese players, and in the seven competitions so far, Chinese players have won five of them (the other two champions are Moon). All this reached its peak in 2009, when the four kings of FLY, INFI, TH000, and TED demonstrated the power of Chinese Warcraft in Suwon, South Korea, and they swept the top four in that IEF.

If you want to say that the gold content of that competition is low, you really can't say that, the Korean side has Moon, Soccer, WHO participated, and the European side also had Grubby, Nicker and others, all of which are among the best players. Unfortunately, the Chinese player's performance was too good that time, and the 2009 Fly was so invincible that no matter who the opponent was, he couldn't stop him from reaching the top.

In fact, as early as 3 months ago, FLY had already tasted the championship in South Korea. It was E-Stars 2009, where Fly formed an Asian team with Moon and Lyn and swept Grubby's European team 3-0 to win the championship.

suho – a curtain call with an offline champion

For a long time, Suho has been labeled as a "civil war insider, foreign war outsider" label, in the domestic he can WCG three consecutive championships, but foreign competitions are nothing. This situation also bothered him, and it was not until he retired that he won his first offline title.

In December 2009, in South Korea, Mr. Su finally met with CHECK in the final of the IESF after a series of battles. In the final, the disadvantage was overturned, and Suho won this hard-won championship.

From 2003 to 2009, the seven-year itch, like a game of Warcraft, Suho created a very perfect start, but the middle was so unsmooth, how many times could you directly win the opponent's chances, but for one reason or another missed the victory. Fortunately, in the end, he still fulfilled his dream.

WE team - the division of kings has repeatedly achieved good results abroad

In addition to the individual competition, the Chinese Warcraft team WE team has also won the team competition championship abroad three times. Among them, the 2007 NGL-ONE S2 Finals (Berlin, Germany) was won by the Korean class, and the WC3L S11 Finals (Hamburg, Germany) was joined by Sky (Sky, Lyn, Remind, Soju and Reign).

In the 2009 NGL-ONE S6 Finals (held in Berlin, Germany), Team WE defeated Team MYM to win the championship with an all-Chinese squad (Sky, Infi, TED, and Future).

The above is the experience of all Chinese Warcraft players who have won the championship abroad. It should be said that it is not easy to win the championship offline, and it is even more difficult to win the championship abroad (there are fewer foreign competitions than at home). Many people believe that esports does not rely on referees like traditional sports, and the home-and-away advantage is not obvious. However, considering the time difference, accommodation, climate, diet, offline environment and other factors, the difficulty of winning the championship abroad is still much higher than that in China.

In the new year, offline competitions should continue to be held abroad, and I look forward to more Chinese Warcraft players being able to compete abroad.
