They are just like us, working hard to improve their skills. Under the same starry sky, opponents are also our teammates!

Q: After entering the final with a "full victory record", with what kind of mentality that you prepared for the decisive battle with the Peruvian team?

L: I watched Peruvian team’s previous game and I appreciated their ability. I wasn’t in good form before the final so I kept practicing and preparing for the game, hoping to contributing more to the team.

arch: Actually "full victory" is not a good thing as it will bring us more pressure, but it didn’t affect me very much and competing against Peru. In fact I was too relaxed and lacked tensions.

Yang: I thought I didn’t need to work overtime, just taking a 3-0 lead over the opponent. I didn’t expect that they were very tenacious and had a very strong team spirit.

Azu: I didn’t prepare much for it, just play as usual.

Know: Although we had an unbeaten streak, we were still very serious about our opponents in the final, and I think we were pretty calm.

hua: Group stage, 1/4 and semi-final, we didn’t lose a single game or work overtime, so we were quite confident about the final. But at the same time, we also reminded each other to take the final seriously and actively prepared for it.

Q: Did the “undefeated record” bring you more incentives or pressure?

L: I just want to win, nothing else matters to me.

arch: For me I think it’s stressful because there is some luck involved in Auto Chess.

Yang: No pressure. All my teammates are very strong after all.

Azu: There was definitely some pressure.

Know: To be honest, the previous record didn’t affect me too much. I just took every game seriously.

hua: I think it brought us motivation. Like our country, our team is trying to show our confidence and positive spirit! We are confident but not arrogant, we are self-strengthening but not domineering. When selecting players for last round of the final, all our teammates were enthusiastic and did not have the slightest fear of failure. This is the charm of self-confidence!

Q: Now looking back at the five fierce battles with the Peru in the finals, what is your most impressive experience?

L: When I got knocked out in the tiebreaker and only got the 7th place, I regretted not taking another point. The situation was very bad. Fortunately, my teammates withstood the pressure, and I was very excited when we won the game.

arch: I was impressed by our opponent’s strong executive ability which we really need.

Yang: The moment we won. It felt really good.

Azu: I didn't expect that we finished the whole five games at 2 am in the morning.

Know: After playing against the Peruvian team, my biggest impression was that our they were a team with strong execution. Every player can sacrifice for team. I didn’t see anyone play exceptionally well but I did see strong team cohesion.

hua: To be honest, we didn't expect to play for 5 games, but it did happen, and that’s the reality. There are always surprises. The most memorable thing for me is that in the fifth match, when two of my teammates only got the 7th and 8th place because of bad luck and we only gained 1 point, we could only win by taking the top two places with 17 points altogether. But our Feathered and Assassin only had 10 HP left, while Peru had four players and each of them had 55 HP. It’s almost impossible to win. At that time, my heart was filled with bitterness. It was like the first half of your life went smoothly, but when you reached your middle age, your life became a mess. I felt frustrated. But that feeling was fleeting. My teammates and I adjusted our attitude quickly and encouraged each other that as long as there is 1% hope, we must pay 100% effort! The result also proved that our choice was right, and we were rewarded for our persistence!

Q: In the fifth game of the finals, after two teammates got knocked out of the game, what was in your mind at that time?

L: Regret for not gaining another point. My teammates had no choice but to strive for the top two places.

arch: At that moment I thought we would lose the game, but after I saw hua and Know’s pieces, I knew there was still hope for us, so I just cheered for them silently in my mind, haha.

Yang: I didn't think too much. I just wanted to be the first. Before I lose, I just want to win.

Azu: Nothing actually. I knew there was a chance, but very small.

Know: I quickly checked hua’s and the remaining opponents' situation. He could still resist but I had to adjust my positions to make some room for hua’s mistakes.

Q: What do you think of the Peruvian team?

L: A very strong, hard-working, united and respectable team.

arch: The whole team is very strong but individual players need to improve. Now they are training much harder than us, so we must take them seriously.

Yang: Their personal strength may not be enough but the whole team is very strong.

Azu: They have excellent team work and execution.

Know: Like they said.

hua: We were surprised that they defeated Japan and Russia and reached the finals, which made them a real dark horse. At first we thought that they were just lucky, but after playing against them, we found out that they were very disciplined, with very advanced tactics and strong execution. They are a strong team and a worthy opponent!

Q: What was your most memorable moment during this community world cup?

L: The last game. We were in disadvantage but I was deeply impressed by my teammates’ spirit of persistence.

arch: Definitely the comeback in the last game. I didn't play, but watching the game still made me very nervous, haha.

Yang: Winning the championship.

Azu: I didn't expect that the Vietnamese team failed to qualify.

Know: In the face of extremely adverse situation during the last game, hua and I resisted pressure and successfully turned things around.

hua: It must be the fifth game of the finals. We uploaded a video on DouYu, TV bilibili and TikTok, because it was a magnificent turnaround. When we knocked out the last member of Peruvian team, my teammates and I were all cheering and screaming and we saw all the spectators’ encouraging words. That’s a big moment for us!

Q: Are there any teams or players really impressed you in this tournament?

L: A player’s spirit and assassin in the fifth game of the finals. As a formidable opponent, he made a huge contribution to his team.

arch: The Peruvian team is definitely a dark horse. I heard that they spent 10 hours training every day. They are a team with strong execution and explicit strategic target. We should learn from them.

Yang: Peru.

Azu: Definitely the Peruvian team. They paid great attention to team’s coordination, even when they built a 3-star legion. They had a good balance between teamwork and personal strength.

Know: The Peruvian team.

hua: All the teams were very strong and there was no best nor weak team. The key player in Russian team, Ruoi in Vietnamese team, and the whole Peruvian team, they all impressed me. The first two players I mentioned played a leading role in many games, and the tenacious Peruvian team all made me realize that we need to work harder!

Q: What is the biggest reward that you gained from this tournament?

L: A narrow victory in the finals. But I don’t want to have this experience again. I will become stronger
