Interview with Ehome:
"EHOME E-Sports Club representing China have emerged victorious at the World Cyber Games Asian Championship 2008 held at Suntec City over the weekend.
After a gruelling competition that saw 14 teams representing 14 different countries slug it out in a battle of wits, strategy and technical finesse for a shot at the prize money and the honor of being crowned Asian champs, the Chinese team will now have to brace themselves for the greater challenge that lies ahead: the grand final in Cologne, Germany!

longdd: I was introduced by friends.
GK: I was introduced by friends.
Q2: How often do you train?
2009: 5 days a week, 8 hours a day.
longdd: 5 days a week, 8 hours a day.
GK: 5 days a week, 8 hours a day.
dclxjdc: 5 days a week, 8 hours a day.
Q3: How close are you guys? Are there any difficulties in playing together as a team?
2009: We’re good friends for we share the same dream. While we might blame each other when faced with difficulties, we always overcome them and come out stronger.
longdd: I am not really close with my teammates, and we do have our occasional disagreements.
dclxjdc: We are really close, and although we do have our disagreements in our daily lives, these squabbles do not affect our close relationship with each other.
Q4: Do you do anything else together, besides playing games?
2009: I’m a college student from Zhejiang University, and I have other hobbies like reading & diving.
longdd: I don’t have any other hobbies.
GK: I enjoy sports and reading as well.
dclxjdc: Besides DOTA, I enjoy reading, socializing and self-improvement.
Q5: Do you play other games, besides DotA? What are some of these games?
2009: Hero, StarCraft, Diablo, and other Blizzard games.
Longdd: I play the games on QQ occasionally.
GK: FPS and logic games.
dclxjdc: I enjoy RPGs and RTSes as well.
Q6: What do you think of a tournament like the Asian Cyber Games?
2009: It’s an incredible opportunity for gamers to show their talent and passion for games.
longdd: It is a great tournament!
GK: It was a great success!
dclxjdc: I am full of praise for the professionalism of the entire ACG, especially the dedication of the staff in ensuring the success of the tournament.
Q7: What do you think of the Malaysian team, Kingsurf? Who do you consider to be your strongest rivals?
2009: Kingsurf is a team with many ideas, coming up with new ways and new heroes to win the game. My strongest rival is a player from SK-team.
longdd: Kingsurf is a good team, but I feel that XCN is an even stronger team.
GK: Kingsurf is a strong team, but our strongest rivals are team XCN.
dclxjdc: Kingsurf is our main competition in the ACG, and we are full of respect for them. Despite the rivalry, the competitive spirit between the teams will not prevent us from becoming friends. Besides Kingsurf, XCN is another strong team that we have respect for.
Q8: How has Razer given you the competitive edge against your opponents?
2009: Razer products are comfortable and provide a high level of accuracy in competitions.
longdd: The Razer gaming mouse is both accurate and aesthetically pleasing; and the Razer keyboards are extremely comfortable to use.
GK: Razer products offer me a special experience when I use them. Aesthetically pleasing and highly accurate, Razer products are easy to use and will often invoke curiosity from fellow gamers.
dclxjdc: The excellent facilities provided by Razer spared us plenty of headaches in searching for a suitable training ground. Good training facilities are vital for a gamer to improve himself, as are good gaming equipment, both of which are offered by Razer.
Q9: What advice do you have for gamers hoping to improve in DotA?
2009: Do not blame your teammates when you lose a game, but think of how you can improve individually in the next game instead. Always be confident that you can beat your opponents.
longdd: Perseverance; taking the game seriously; and do not blame your teammates for anything.
GK: DOTA is quite a challenging game that requires strategic planning and the ability to pre-empt your opponents.
dclxjdc: Over preparation and too much planning without adequate practice will lead to a player being over-complacent and fall prey to the “all talk – no action” fallacy. The recipe for success is to be able to apply what you have read and learnt in an actual game, and being able to strike a balance between theories and practice.
