A new face is conquering the Warcraft 3 tournament scene! Hazy is a 22 year old Chinese player that mastered multiple races and makes fans fall in love with his unusual, off-meta playstyle.
After the showmatch series "HAZY IS CRAZY" he answered our questions. 

In September 2024, a Warcraft 3 fan reached out to professional players, sponsoring a handful of showmatches to help them prepare for an upcoming offline event. One year later, that same fan had become the driving force behind a global tournament ecosystem that spans elite competition and grassroots development — supporting both world champions and rising talents. This is the story of HF_Haituntun, organizer of the Dolphin Warcraft Super League.

In the great halls of Warcraft III, where titans of the game are etched into legend, few names command the respect and admiration of the community like Um "FoCuS" Hyo-Sub. Since 2005, he has remained one of the most innovative and relentless Orc players, pushing the boundaries of strategy and execution.  

I chatted with with FoCuS to discuss his long career, approach to the game, and thoughts on Warcraft 3, Gaming, Streaming, and more.

You’re relatively new to the professional Warcraft 3 scene. How long have you been playing the game, and what got you into it?

I've been playing Warcraft 3 since I was around 10 years old, starting out with custom games like Vampirism Fire, Jurassic Park, and Dota 1. I began playing melee ladder in Reign of Chaos with the handle "n00b-bazOOka," where I had around a 55% win rate. Mostly, though, I watched my brother play 3v3 RT on The Frozen Throne, as we only had one PC back in the day. That’s what got me into Warcraft 3.

Fortitude, aka "Romantic," just qualified for the upcoming RARALAND in August. We asked him a few questions.

The retirement of Infi and TH000, arguably the greatest human players, left a large void in the Human alliance. When they retired from playing full time, it seemed like the Humans had no leading light to learn from.  The Asian circuit in particular didn't have a Human that people could learn from. 

Some valiant names have risen vying for the crown for the best Human player, names like
Sok, ThundeR, and Fortitude among others, but had debatable results.  Stalwarts like HawK, ToD, and Blade were playing Human, but had either retired from tournaments, or were not serious about playing in tournaments (plus 4v4 became popular). But there was one player that was putting consistent results on the table and soon ascended the throne in both rankings and the players he started beating. That bastion of the Human race in Warcraft 3 is known to us as  Chaemiko.

In this interview with him, I dive into understanding who he is, how he thinks about competition, what it means to be the Human player that all look towards to perform against the giants, and his thoughts on the game that we love to play daily, Warcraft 3.

When I first saw the picture in this articles' cover image, I had a good chuckle. An entire 2012 photoshoot of Neo in his early twenties: cigarette in hand, beanie on head, a mix of melancholic and goofy poses and - of course - WarCraft 3 on the monitor.

While creating the cover I was about the scrap the image, replacing it with one of the more up-to-date pictures of Neo. While a humorous picture, I did not find it representative of the current Neo... at first glance. Upon further thought, I realized it shows exactly who he is: an incredibly passionate person who through thick and thin (emphasis on the latter, unfortunately) has stayed and fought for the game and community he loves through the years.

With the announcement of RARALAND, an upcoming offline event organized by Neo, Frost Giants reveal of Stormgate and a packed tournament schedule to cast, Neo had a busy week last week. Yet, when I asked if he would indulge us with an interview, he answered with a prompt "Hell yeah!". So, please, go ahead and enjoy a great interview with Jannes "Neo" Tjarks:

Thanks to our friends at FrenchCraft, we're happy to present to you the English version of a fascintating interview with KraV, right before he'll try to gain the crown in the quarterfinals of Dreamhack winter, starting this week!

Matic "Starbuck" Dejak made quite some noise lately. The former Starcraft 2 pro managed to qualify for Dreamhack Summer, and he won the 2v2 tournament together with KraV at the end of Season 6 tournament from W3Champions. Now, he is ready to take on Happy in his group for Dreamhack Summer and create some upsets. Izzard from GoodGame.ru sat down with Starbuck and asked him about his journey to the upcoming challenges he is facing.

I'm back, back again... This time with the swedish bald Orc, Fredrik 'KnOfF' Knopf. We talk about life, Warcraft, fitness and more, so if you want to learn more about Knoff, come and check it out!
