wNv.TH000, a genius player armed with novel strategies and a sophisticated mind, is a master of all races in WC3. He has surprised people with his fascinating performance in recent various competitions, including tournaments and leagues such as PGL, WC3L, WCG Qualification China, MGC, etc. Let’s now take an adventure to talk with this “wizard”.
Hello, wNv.TH000. Thank you very much for spare with us some of your precious time. Could you please first briefly introduce yourself and your recent schedule for us?
Hello everybody! I’m TH000 from wNv. Somebody call me “three eggs”. ^_^ I’m from China and I’m a random player, actually I’ve nothing special to do for the time being. In January, I will take part in several competitions such as PGL,KODE5, G-league and then go home in February for spring festival.

how did you become interested in cyber games and WarCraft3? And do you think you’ll keep going on this road?
When I was at school, I came to know that there is such a profession and I’m pretty interested in it. WC3 was just released then and it occurred to me that maybe I could try to become a professional WC3 player. I guess I could keep going. ^_^

We are constantly amazed by your unexpected strategy accomplished by brave micro. Which type of player do you think you are? Operation type, strategy type or so-called “Workshop” type?
I think I’m the first type (Operation type, which is being good at micro and strategy), except that the strategies I use do not belong to the mainstream, that’s why people often call me “unusual”.

Which hero and unit do you like best? What is the race you like the most to fight against and what’s the one you are most unwilling to?
MK is my favorite, I guess. And my favorite unit should be Spell Breaker. I prefer to challenge the UD in TR and TM. It’s very exciting. I don’t like fighting against HUM, especially HUM mirror.

- wNv.TH000 about his innovative style5
Regarded as a very promising HUM player, are you trying to end Sky’s dominance? Have you ever thought of naming a strategy after your own name?
I’ve been trying to explore new strategies, but it’s still possible that they will fail. What’s more, to find out new strategies in WAR3 is getting more and more difficult. I’m afraid that it’s not likely that others will agree that it’s you, a newcomer, who invented those strategies. So, I’ve never thought of naming a strategy after myself.

You have really an excellent reputation in many magazine and websites, how do you think of it? What’s the difference between you and Sky?
It’s hard to say if it’s a good thing or not. But I don’t read that materials anyway- -. I think the gap between us always lies in the attitude - the attitude before a competition and towards daily practicing.

In this year’s MGC, your great turn against SoJu in such a disadvantage was really fantastic. Cannon towers on the cliff, great micro of banish and staff of sanctuary, etc. Did you ever do some specific practice for this?
About a month before that, I began to practice using MK as the first hero confronting NE on TS. But the actual outcome on that day was really out of my expectation, too. It’s not deliberate strategy, it’s just because I love MK. I like using MK in all strategies, even in “tower and tank” style.

Can you talk about your life after you moved in to the new house for a little bit? How is your daily practicing? Who’s your partner? What different now from then?
It’s still as usual. Practicing, eating, sleeping, and practicing. I have no fixed partner in practicing.

What do you think might be the major reason for the unlucky degradation of wNv in the 12th season of WC3L? Do you have confidence in the qualification of 13th season again?
I think the major problem was due to our 2v2. In the 11th, Fov and Soccer didn’t lose one game out of ten, but in the 12th, we failed all the 22 games. I’m quite optimistic for the next season though.

The balance problem is gaining great attention, do you have any expectation about the coming patch of 1.22? Many suggest using random maps, what do you think of that?
Well I think it just need to fix the Human tank to be unarmored and increase its armor, decrease its damage to buildings. Give Undead lesser clarity potion at the beginning and nerf Demon Hunter, strengthen PotM and KotG. I want random maps, which would be quite interesting, but it will make it more difficult to balance the game.
11
Many players may come to a “bottleneck”, do you have any suggestion on that?
I’m not sure. To be frank, I have arrived at my bottleneck recently. I guess you could can make redeems through, and exploring new strategies.
12
What do you think of the future of SC2? Will it replace WC?
It’s still hard to say before its release. Maybe it will if it’s really well-designed, and maybe not if it’s just ok.
13
Have you thought of the future after the retirement?
I barely think of things in the long future.
14
Then do you have any wish in the new year?
I have many. I’d prefer not to talk in detail. In short, I wish everything goes well with health, love, career, etc. (smiles)

Thanks for your cooperation and we can’t wait to witness your inspiring performance in future games. At last, can you say something to our “fifth top” members and as well as your huge fans?
