Hey everybody, sorry that you didn't hear from me for so long. LGD.Ruru and I had plans to build another team together, but ultimately it didn't end up working out. I really wanted to stay in China and play around Chinese players, and even today I am still in awe of their approach to the game.
Anyway I talked to Iceiceice,Burning and Mushi, and they said, even if I was able to master Chinese, it would still be almost impossible for me to find a team in China, because they have a close inner circle of players from whom they build the top teams (mostly very good friends, you have to know people on a personal level, etc). Nonetheless, I have learned so much from traveling to China and don't regret going here at all. As a player, especially after my experiences in the WPC-ACE tournament, I've improved a lot. Even in simple matchmaking games, Chinese players always play to win.
I really want to thank Ruru from LGD for the time she put into me and the faith she showed in me me. At this point, I've been living with LGD for around 6 months now, and I can safely say that she's one of the best Dota bosses I've ever had the pleasure to work with. Even though it is not possible for me to compete in China right now, I hope one day to return here and compete amongst them.
Anyway, I'm writing this because I haven't played competitively in about ~3 to 4 months now, and I am really hungry to get back into the scene and compete again. I'm looking for a team in the West, but at this point I realize it's going to be hard to find one. I'm well aware that most major tournaments before TI4 have already started or will be starting soon, and thus almost every roster is finalized or nearly so.
I won't stop fighting to find a new team, but I have already made peace with the possibility that I might not be able to compete at this TI. If that happens, I will invest into the future and redouble my efforts to earn a spot at TI5. I've had a difficult time finding a stable team, but I won't give up. I love this game, I love the competition, and I intend to continue pouring myself into it.
Once again, sorry for those that I've disappointed, I'll try to make up for it in the future and fight harder than ever to achieve my dreams and make you all proud! I'm not sure what the future holds, but rest assured that no matter what, I'll give my endeavors every ounce of energy and focus I have.
Thanks once again to Ruru for always believing in me and lastly to all my fans who have continued to support me from the beginning. Also, thanks to LD for posting this on my behalf as I cannot access Twitter right now.
