Is there a mindset that Asians have that makes them better at RTS/micro/macro games rather than aim? Over the course of the past decade of eSports activity, Asian players generally been better and won more in RTS games compared to Europeans and Americans, while the latter has done better in FPS events. The second thing is that the Asian countries have a really thick playerbase and there's always people to play. The Koreans and Chinese really focus on pro gaming and being a pro gamer. Lyn: The first thing is that the Korean and Chinese players play a -lot- compared to European and American players. What makes Asian gamers better at RTS games? Lyn: Moon of course is a top player, and a few others, but there's a lot of new players coming up through the ranks trying to make a name for themselves. Who are the top players in the world right now? Lyn: I just don't want to be arrogant :D. How do you feel about your skill right now? Are you the best in the world, top 3? Lyn: I play a lot with the Koreans but I wouldn't say there's a bigger rivalry. Is there a bigger rivaly between Korean players since you guys face off a lot in the Korean leagues too? The Chinese players are the top tier because there are so many players to play against. Lyn: There's no real difference between Korean players and international players. Lyn: Check is Night Elf and NE players are just really strong against Orc's.ĭo you find it more difficult to play another Korean than international players? Are the Koreans and Chinese ahead? Lyn: The other tournaments are special too, it's just that Blizzard made the game and their events have a special nature about them. Is this tournament more special than a WC3L, ESL, WCG, ESWC? Lyn: This tournament has a big prize purse so it was important, but it is also special because it's run by Blizzard who made WarCraft 3. How does this victory rank compared to your other championships? Lyn: He will catch up to the top players really soon.

Were you really surprised at how good he was or do you think he just played bad?

It is really tough to win twice and claim victory that way.ĭid you expect to go down in the lower bracket in the first place verse LucifroN? Lyn: I'm happy because I did it from the lower bracket.

You've cashed in on your promise that you would win BlizzCon 2008 after falling into the lower bracket, how does it feel?
