Pretty cool. PCs were really good and great atmosphere when playing on stage and good to see they use double elimination system.
How did you adjust your mindset after losing the first set of bo3 and how did you feel like after finally taking it?
My girlfriend told me how to lift my spirits before the final. I took the time after losing the first set and reminded myself there was still one more shot. I really appreciate my girlfriend and everyone who cheer for me. Audience at the scene cheered for me when I lost to Fly100% three times in a row and it really helped me soldier on. Thank you!
HoT threw you lifeline in WEM. How do you feel about it?
Lucky :) haha
"Infi, Lyn and ToD are all very good and especially good against UD, but I will be dead serious against any of them."
It was the practice match which you won Zacard 3-1 that arose King’s interest in WEG Masters back in 2006 and later on brought you to WE and now you’ve got the chance to participate in WEM. There is always something connecting you and WEG/WEM. What is your goal in WEM and your opinion towards your opponents in group stage?Well, I will do my best in every game and try to use some new strategies. I intended to use them in MGC, but I haven’t in the end. I will give them a shot in WEM. Maps in group stage are hardly on my side so why not try something new. Infi, Lyn and ToD are all very good and especially good against UD, but I will be dead serious against any of them.
Have you found anything new lately?
Yep. I have an idea or two against Hum and Orc and it’s not all bad when I tried them out in training, but sometimes they don’t work against good players - -. I tried some against Like, but couldn’t dare to leave my base in the end so I have to lay off some of them...
You really stand out when UD is enduring a hard time. Everyone thinks Orc is overpowered in 1.22, but what is your idea?
Every UD player is doing their best and lady luck was just on my side this time. FoV, Lucifer, ReiGn and Susiria are all giving their best and of course our Panxiang too. He beat infi in DreamCup, and merely lost to Lucifer 1-2 after having huge advantage in the second game in NWL. UD really need some kind of luck to achieve something. Every race is strong and there are so many outstanding players from different race. I kept complaining about maps, races and then players in the beginning, but at the end of the day, all I could complain about was myself. I keep trying leave all my mistakes behind me. Though I still make some of them from time to time, I will be better.
Is fiend your favourite and spirit of UD?
Yes. Fiend = ZZ(logogram in Chinese) = Zhuo Zeng = me... Haha
" Playing wc3 is like playing chess. You’ve got the upper hand if you figure out what your opponent is going to do next."
What is your strength and weakness as professional gamer?I think my strength is that I am open to new strategies. Playing wc3 is like playing chess. You’ve got the upper hand if you figure out what your opponent is going to do next. Then I will try to capitalize on his mistake until I win the game. However, I am sometimes too fickle and make some blind attempts. I think that’s my weakness.
How are you going to spend the prize money?
Save them in the bank - -. I have loads of cash with me now and kinda scared... I will go to the nearest bank as soon as possible tomorrow.
congratz Ted!
best UD imo
When watching UD vs Orc I often feel like the UD can only win, of the Orc does a mistake.
(f.e. losing his bm unluckyly)
You’ve got the upper hand if you figure out what your opponent is going to do next.
then how come so many lose so often against orc when they know what theyre going to do?
its just bs, all know orc is op.
respect for these words :>
for some reasons whiners never achieve anything, but see where Ted got with this attitude..

gratz TeD!
and buy something to your girlfriend,she helped you to lift you spirit!!! :P
gl in WEM
i only doubt the idea of trying to save the money asap in the nearest bank :)
you know, it's banking (financial) crisis all around.. so, would be better to discuss it at least with your girlfried :)
tbh TED is just blinded by his win, he knows nothing more about the balance then someone else who is smart and is following the scene and plays wc3.
and btw so when ted says its nothing imba, you believe him?
but when tod, infi and moon say orc is imba, I guess you just ignore it cause you want to bilieve your own race isnt the most imba and by far easiest race to play.
nub orc.
