And I think that's because of his curse.

Winning and losing is part of the game,

but I think Chawy's story is definitely the saddest.

Actually I'm pretty worried that if

ahq picks Westdoor as the mid laner,

then I won't have a chance to play again.

So who are they going to pick here?

Westdoor said he wants to play Azir.

And the other players say stop fooling around.

You can see AN facepalm and say stop fooling around.

He's really picking it! He picked Azir!

I wish to keep my strengths

and improve my Champion pool.

After the Spring Finals, we realized that two players

in one lane isn't actually that great.

So when next season starts,

we will pick the more suitable player for each lane.

I have to compete for the Mid Lane position.

So to me it's very disappointing.

Chawy's reaction should be...

same as mine. Practice harder.

Hope to compete and earn the position.

Whats up?

Why are you trembling?

Stop trembling.

-I wasn't trembling. -Loosen up.

Why are you all tensed up?

Don't drag the rest of us down.

Oh...

The elevator just hit something.

What... what was that-

Oh...

Are we going?

Well I'm gonna live no matter what.

If you want to live, as soon as it crashes,

you just jump.

I know that.

Are you sure?

If you jump, you'll live.

Does that work?

You just have to jump.

We are pro gamers, easy.

Left, left.

Oh, it's the ROX Tigers.

There are the Tigers.

Hello, Hello...

All: Hello.

At the Spring Finals,

I think we tried really hard, the entire team.

But despite all of that effort,

at the very end,

since we experienced that very disappointing loss,

that part is the most...

difficult.

Today is our first match of Summer Split.

The opponents are Samsung.

It's my first match in a while,

so I'm feeling a bit nervous.

And, honestly, I just want to get it over with quickly.

I think it's going to be fun.

I come from Singapore.

My dad is Singaporean,

and my mom was born in Malaysia.

Come here and get something to eat.

Is it very far?

Do we need to buy tickets to get in?

No need.

I don't think so.

Pretend you're there to play in the competition!

So our family is actually quite loving.

Here, eat more.

And I feel like I am closest with my brother.

Gameboys and such, we didn't have those.

Because we were considered like country people,

So we played some pretty basic stuff,

perhaps like cards.

And actually we were pretty happy

and we felt very fortunate.

We always played outside.

We didn't really play indoor things like computer games.

So our childhood was pretty different from other people's.

So in my school there were quite a few people,

who would pick on weaker or smaller kids.

So at that time I was pretty much small and skinny

and I got picked on a lot.

So I started working out.

Starting when I was 13, I worked out every day.

Every time when I'm back in Singapore,

we will come here.

Sometimes I'll be, like,

"Aww... I'm tired from all the training."

He'll be, like, "Oh, come on man...

let's go down and workout."

It's always good to have someone,

who wants to do the same thing as you.

Our family is considered not very rich,

so we did not have computer growing up.

So we had to sneak out and play at Internet cafes.

So we would tell my mom we went...

to exercise, to run, to ride bicycles.

But we always went out to play at Internet cafes.

When XingLei (Chawy) started playing,

he would say he's going out with brother.

But we knew in our hearts,

he definitely was running to that-

to inside that shopping mall.

To play games.

And then us parents would definitely

walk around and see if he's there.

If he was, we would secretly check up on him.

After a while we said,

as long as you guys don't learn bad things,

or hang out with bad people,

then you can play.

When they came back they looked very satisfied.

They were really happy.

Shoot?

Oh, you don't have it.

I'm dead.

So I think that if we didn't

go to Internet cafes in the past,

I probably wouldn't be playing professionally right now.

Actually, when I first told my parents

I wanted to compete,

I wanted to be a pro gamer,

they were very much against it.

Playing games in Singapore isn't easy.

The majority of parents don't approve of it.

Guess how many there are?

I don't know.

Don't you know?

Huh? Yeah you do!

6 years ago... 7 years ago, this was for Dota.

This one's also 2nd place.

Wow, I keep getting 2nd place.

The first time I wanted to be a pro player,

a pro player with a salary was

when the Singapore Sentinels were founded in Singapore.

Because at that time I just joined...

just started in the Army.

And in Singapore you have to do two years in the Army.

So at the time they were looking for 10 players.

I was considered the best player on our server.

But they didn't put me on the 10-player tryout list.

Because they thought since I just joined the army

I would probably become bad.

Usually, players who serve in the Army become really bad.

National Service lasts for two years

and practice time is very, very little.

So because it was a bit-

I was very sad and a bit angry.

So I made myself really strong.

So I told myself in competition I have to destroy them.

That is, I must join this team.

And then, at that time I found four players,

and then in a tournament

we beat Singapore Sentinels.

And then they finally were willing to seek me out.

We realized that Chawy had a great potential

even though he was still in National Service.

Hi, everyone, my name is XingLei.

People know me for Chawy.

Yeah and I play the AD Carry for Singapore Sentinels.

I woke up every day at about 6:00am,

took the bus to the Army grounds.

After work I would rush over to the Singapore Sentinels.

And regardless of if it was team practice

or preparations for a match,

we would practice until 10:00pm.

So when I got home it would be about 11:00pm,

but once I got home I felt like I hadn't practiced enough.

So I would practice until 2:00, 3:00am.

And then go to bed for three hours or so

and then wake up again.

And I did that pretty much for two years.

I would tell myself over and over

however much I can sacrifice, I'll sacrifice

to keep persevering.

Because I thought,

I really wanted to be the world's best player.

and do our region proud.

When I was in the military,

I was photographed, that is, as the poster boy,

And I thought it was pretty funny.

So every day when we ran at Parade Square,

running, or just walking, we'd see my face.

All big and hanging there.

Back in the days when Chawy was in Singapore Sentinels,

it was a team that was very exciting and innovative.

We were like two tiers above all the other teams

and basically no one could come near us.

Chawy was pretty much our star player

because he was playing very well.

He actually carried Singapore Sentinels in a number of games.

A lot of videos were made showing his muscles.

I think in his time with Singapore Sentinels,

I think it is clear that

his teammates weren't at his level.

If you really want to go, like, greater heights,

you really have to get out of Singapore.

I joined TPA in 2014 because

at that time on Singapore Sentinels,

we didn't get any good results.

We were very sad to see him go because

it was definitely a big blow to our chances,

but it was definitely the right step for Chawy

and Singapore in general.

At that time, they were preparing to go to All-Stars

and also preparing for Worlds,

and they told me they would let me start.

When I first heard the news, I was very happy.

And I discussed with my family for a long time.

I couldn't bear to part with my family.

But my parents, especially my mom, kept saying,

"Go, go, not everyone gets this kind of opportunity."

We all supported him going.

Because this is his dream.

This opportunity isn't one everyone gets.

I think that leaving your home

and going to do something you really want to do

and even chasing your dreams

is a very mighty thing to do.

Leaving my family, just...

is quite difficult

because I can't see my family every day.

So I came to Taiwan.

And then in the end they didn't let me play.

Because there was another Mid Laner.

I think Chawy was fairly close to Worlds at the time,

but Chawy's individual skill and his team

didn't ever pair well.

I came to Taiwan to chase my dreams.

And to chase my dreams,

the most important thing is, of course, to play onstage.

At that time, I kept watching them play from the sidelines.

I didn't get any opportunities to play onstage.

So I felt like I wasted a year.

At the time, I felt very disappointed

because I felt a bit like I was tricked into coming to Taiwan.

In 2015, the coach and manager promised me that

they'll definitely let me play onstage,

they'll let me start.

So I grasped the opportunity.

Actually, there were a lot of weeks when I got MVP.

Then I got suspended,

and TPA had to bring in a sub to play.

Because back in 2013... there was a time

on Singapore Sentinels that I didn't want to play any more.

because I wanted to study, study at a private school.

It's very expensive and the tuition is really high.

And I didn't want to keep burdening my parents.

So I thought, hey, I can play someone's account

and make some money.

It's alright because

I'm not playing professionally any more anyway.

At that time I could play a few matches

and make about a hundred dollars.

So I went to play for my friend.

But after I played for him,
