深淵聯賽MInor在敗者組擊敗Alliance之後，VPESPORT對430進行了採訪。
Hello Ferrari, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen you on a tournament stage and I’d like to start by asking what made you come back from retirement and fight your way back to The International.
你好430，很長一段時間沒看到你打比賽了。你回來打比賽最大的原因是什麼？
Although I didn’t play professionally for about three years, my passion for Dota 2 has never gone away. I’ve been playing casually and streamed a lot and I realized that I still have it in me and that playing on a professional level is all I want.
雖然我3年沒有打職業了，但是我對DOTA2的熱情還在，我平時也會在直播中玩很久DOTA2，感覺打比賽的衝動還在就回來打職業了。
Did the OG and especially Ceb’s story from last year fired up something in you?
OG和Ceb在Ti8的勵志故事對你也有影響嗎？
Who is Ceb, the offlaner?
我不太認識Ceb
You didn’t forget how to troll, did you?
你還是這樣喜歡開玩笑
Haha. To answer your question, no, it wasn’t really the OG story that made think to come back. I knew before TI8 that I want to come back and play professionally, but I also knew that I have a lot of work to do and I didn’t want to rush things. I started by playing more casual with Big God, Mr Game Boy – Newbee until I felt I’m good enough to rejoin the professional scene.
哈哈，回答你上一個問題。OG奪冠的確讓我想要回來打職業，在Ti8之前我就有回來打職業的想法，但我也知道自己離職業還有點距離，我不是一個急性子所以就慢慢從Big God，MGB這些隊開始打直到我感覺我狀態好了。
So, where would you say you stand now in terms of form compared to the TI2 days, when the Dota 2 community dubbed you as “The Pianist” and everyone was considering you the best mid-player in the world?
現在和Ti2的時候相比有什麼不同？那時候大家都叫你鋼琴手，說你是世界上最好的中單。
I’m definitely not as good as I was at TI2. That was my best shape, but I’m working hard to go back to that. I just joined EHOME and this is the first time when I play in a full competitive set-up in a few years so, I’m still adjusting, still learning how to play around my teammates.
我比Ti2時期差的還很遠，我會努力讓自己恢復狀態。我才剛剛加入Ehome，而且這是我第一次在Ehome參加大賽，所以我目前就還在學習如何融入團隊。
Of course, you’ve kept playing, as you say, casually, but since 2015 which was your last TI appearance, the game has changed a lot, and the mid lane is also completely different in terms of playstyle and what it requires from a mid-laner. Did you find it hard to adapt to all the changes?
你一直在玩DOTA2，但現在遊戲環境和2015年的時候相比已經有了很大變化，而且中單需要做的事情和以前比也不一樣，你有沒有感覺難以適應？
To some extent, yes. For instance, compared to a few years back, the mid laner has to be more active and more aware of all the roaming, all the ganks that are coming for him. The map has changed and the strong AoE mid lane heroes can now actually farm a few neutrals in between creep weaves, the runes mechanic is changed. Of course, the most basic things, like last hit/denies are still the same, but compared to a few years back it’s not enough for a mid laner to have the best last hit/deny to win his lane. So, I would say the game is more challenging for a mid laner now and that’s why I say I still have a lot of work to do and that’s exciting.
是的，中單的節奏和以前比有很大變化。以前的中單很容易被遊走，要時時刻刻堤防Gank。現在地圖也變了，現在中單如果有AOE技能可以多拉野刷野，符文機制也變了。但是最基本的中單操作比如對線正反補還是一樣的，和幾年前相比正反補變得更加重要。所以現在走中路會有更多的挑戰性，我還有很多地方可以提升，這讓我感覺很興奮。
China used to have much more youngsters coming out every year and take the scene by storm, while now we see a lot of the scene legends struggling to put a team together, and we also see a few young players just showing up for an event or two and then they vanish. Why do you think the Chinese scene is struggling a bit to find new talent?
中國每年都有很多天才少年，現在我們看到中國戰隊都是一些老隊員作為核心。你覺得為什麼中國戰隊每次找來的新人打兩場就沒了？
Well, to begin with, Dota 2 is not the most popular game in China, the fan base is not that big compared to other game titles. We also have some young players who perform very good online but have problems to adapt to a professional career. It’s been happening a lot for a team to recruit a young and very talented player, someone who might be in the top on leaderboards, just to find out that he can’t adjust to a team house, to daily practice and to everything else that is required from you when you start to play professionally.
DOTA2在中國已經沒有那麼流行了，玩的人少了。我們有一些新人打得很好，但是他們適應不了職業的節奏。一個職業隊員需要每天訓練，搬到訓練基地集體居住，還有很多需要你去適應的東西。
We have several tier two teams here at the OGA Dota PIT Minor, which one impressed you the most?
深淵聯賽有很多的二線隊，你印象最深的是誰？
After a few days in this event, we started to call Majestic Esports, the South America Liquid and BOOM ID the Southeast Asia Secret. We do that because they really showed up and we were super impressed with their plays. I think both of these teams have huge potential.
在這幾天的比賽中，我們感覺Majestic就像是南美的Liquid，BOOM ID就像是東南亞的Secret。我們對他們比賽風格印象深刻，我覺得他們都很有潛力。
BOOM ID actually knocked you down in the lower bracket. Did you expect EHOME to have to fight from the first lower bracket round?
BOOM ID把你們打到了敗者組，這在你的意料之中嗎？
After we saw how we performed in the group stage we kind of expected and we started to prepare for the lower bracket, so yes. We are still learning how to play together and what strategies fit us the best as a team. We think we found a few answers and we hope we can make a lower bracket comeback.
我們小組賽表現不好，所以掉到敗者組也是意料之中。我們任然在磨合階段找尋突破的辦法，我們很期待從敗者組殺回來。
Alright then, I wish you best of luck on the finals day and I hope I get to talk to you again in Shanghai, at TI9.
祝你們在決賽一路順風，希望在Ti9能夠再採訪你
Thank you.
謝謝
