On December 15, Chinese player Shiquz won the championship of the TFT Macao Open 2024 tournament when he directly defeated Title. After the tournament, Shiquz answered many media questions about the career as well as the information surrounding this tournament, especially the competition with title for the title of the championship.
What is the feeling of winning your championship? Does anyone you want to thank?
Shiquz: First of all, I want to thank Mr. Li. In fact, I have worked with Mr. Li in the past time and have the opportunity to talk to him, even meet in the tournament. He realized my ability and took me back to the path of pursuing the championship.
How do you feel about the general schedule, the system and the players at TFT Macao Open? Is there any player who left a deep impression on you in this tournament?
Shiquz: TFT Macao Open's schedule is quite strict physically. I really had to persevere in the last 3 matches yesterday because I did not eat and play 9 matches in a row. I always tried to develop, constantly learning the squad of others and I felt becoming stronger. The player makes me most impressive is Title.
What will you use the bonus?
Shiquz: I have no plan at all. I think I will give it to my parents first because I live with my family.
What do you want to say about the TFT Macao Open championship?
Shiquz: I finally fulfilled my 5 -year dream. I have played the truth since the first season and I have thought of giving up this season. However, the opportunity to come and this season, I have prepared for the tournament and hard work.
Do you think TFT Macao Open is different from the previous events? Is there any part in the entire tournament that you find it difficult?
Shiquz: This tournament is different from TFT Open Championship (China's tournament) and the world championship when these tournaments only take place every day. This tournament requires too much physical strength, you need to abandon all your strength throughout the day and not to rest, not even drinking water.
What do you think about other players participating in this tournament? Especially title, the last player you overcome to win the championship?
Shiquz: About Title, I think he is also a very flexible player. He is not fixed in any squad, because the current version is very rich and easy to change. If he can grasp this, it will be a very strong player.
The results of your previous tournaments are not too excellent. This time you have surpassed more than 500 other players and won the championship. How do you feel that you have grown up at TFT Macao Open?
Shiquz: I have experienced too many failures. I was defeated by Huanmie at TFT Open Championship with only 1 point, this failure was still imprinted in my memory. Hope everyone can calm down, believe in themselves and make efforts to realize their dreams.
You cried when winning the championship. Can you share with us what your tears mean? What is your thoughts and moods at that time?
Shiquz: Actually, I played in community tournaments when I was 16 or 17 years old. I realized the appeal of electronic sports. At that time, I wanted to stand on a bigger stage and won the championship someday. I could not forget this feeling at that time so I had a sense of relief.
In the final game, what do you think is the most important to help yourself win? In fact, Title also has 3 -star Kog'Maw and generally there are some very strong equipment. What do you think has helped me win the final victory?
Shiquz: In the last game, I had Rumble at level 7 and had infinite growth, then I lost only 1 time before Title. At that time, I really felt that I could win the championship anyway. With Title, he has good equipment, has 3 -star Kog'Maw in this squad but needs a 6 more money. If he couldn't get it, he would definitely not defeat me.
In the fifth game, Liluo and Xiaoqi led to compete for the championship. Liluo's series of defeats and fake art core at that time was very smooth, but then you broke his losing string. This has caused a big change in the entire match at that time? Because of this point, you finally won the championship. How do you feel when looking back at everything?
Shiquz: I'm very lucky. After winning, I talked to Li. In fact, I did not deliberately break his losing series, because my squad was relatively poor and I got a pretty core. Li may be a bit “greedy” so it did not equip it, from which the losing chain was interrupted. Actually at that time, I felt like fate was decided.
Did you say Viktor 6 money as a decisive change of the match? Do you think and comment?
