alex to mount BenQ team
By: Pus
Time: 2011-05-20 20:01
Game: Counter-Strike 1.6

According to rakaka.se, former TyLoo captain Zhengwei "alex" Bian will collaborate with BenQ to mount a new Chinese team. 

In December 2010, the former wNv Gaming talent announced he would go into retirement after World e-Sport Masters, reasoning the decision with his age.

However, Bian reappeared at the Chinese Intel Extreme Masters 5 qualifier in January, where he led GANK to a second-place finish.

Partnering up with consumer electronics giant BenQ, Bian is now back to shake up the Chinese scene in hopes to create a team able to compete in the top.

The Chinese tactical mastermind is also a part of ZOWIE Gear, for whom he is a marketing coordinator with focus on the China region, as well as a part of their roster of former e-sport athletes.


It is not unlikely that Bian's newly announced project with BenQ has ties to the cooperative work ZOWIE did together with them on their newest gaming monitor.

Bian and BenQ's project seeks to recruit 10 Chinese players, aged between 18 and 22, who boast qualities such as motivation, intelligence and confidence.

It seems as though applicants are required not to have played for a professional team in the past, seemingly because they are looking for young, perhaps undiscovered, talent.

The right composition of players will be found through a series of steps: applications, auditions, interviews, and lastly, a final selection phase.

The project's goal is to create a team that, with the right kind of support and work, will be able to compete on a top international level – perhaps a Chinese edition of Natus Vincere.

Eventually, the team will receive professional guidance by no other than Bian himself, who will act as some kind of team mentor.

The qualifying process will be nationwide, according to the official website, but the actual cities are currently undisclosed. However, the biggest cities are expected to be targeted.

Zhengwei "alex" Bian rose to fame in 2005, when he was elected MVP of ESWC 2005, the first ever to have received the award without reaching the tournament's final.

Throughout his time, he has received favorable reception through his achievements at events such as World e-Sport Masters and ESWC, and especially for his in-game leadership.

Stay tuned to HLTV.org as we will keep you updated on how Bian and BenQ's project to mount a new team of Chinese superstars unfolds.

2011-05-20 20:16:25
to bad that they don't want players that already played for professional teams, would be awesome to see goodrifle and adren, that is living in china if i'm not wrong, playing on the top level again.
But the idea is great, i hope that will turn the esports in china around, cause if cs gets popular in china again its sure that cs won't die in the next 2 years like some predicted
2011-05-20 20:17:18
AdreN does not want to play cs in China, as he said.
He wants to focus on his education, but when he has holidays, he goes back to Kazakhstan and plays with mix teams without any training.

2011-05-20 20:19:27
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES !!!!!!!!!!
2011-05-20 20:20:05
one of the main problem for chinese cs is due to the fact that china is too big, top chinaman cser from south will have 80ping+ vs northen ones, this will result huge limitation on the development and growth of "2nd class elite".

not exactly... Sure probably a lot of known players are from Moscow or moved to Moscow, though I've known a lot of teams in the more north western or southern parts of Russia near to Kazakhstan =)


Top player or not, there are still teams around Russia that play with each other. Just as they do in USA.

Plus anyone that wants to be "pro" probably moves to Moscow to live in an apartment together, that's why you think they're all from Moscow :P Never know.
2011-05-21 13:19:39
well actually some players from saint pts good enough to play on pro level. but they just too educated to play. :)

Million years? I am pretty sure there are some sick players in China, and offering them money for what they do and LIKE doing it will make them beasts. Surely anyone decent and talented could reach the top with the right support ;) knowing chinese aim + alex adding his tactic mastermind would make a superb team.
2011-05-21 00:37:58
alex ZY GoodRifle Savage tb xf Jungle bigun sakula K1ngZ BB

Imo those are the most successful Chinese players ever. Building a team with any of those 5, if they fully dedicate themselves, could be a top team.

2011-05-20 21:32:02
We know what the news says. The smart thing to do would to get players who have done something. You cant take 4 unknowns who have never competed outside of China, and expect to do well internationally.
2011-05-20 21:46:26
but if there's condition that team must consist of non professional players there can't be team with goodrifle savage etc.

2011-05-20 23:40:53
why are people lolling at "Chinese Na'Vi"?

if someone said in 2009 that some crappy country called Ukraine will make an unstoppable team that will dominated 2010 and will be the "new Fnatic" - how many would be facepalmed?
2011-05-21 00:13:38
Crappy country? Omg! In economics maybe not best, but in cybersport one of the best right now.
2011-05-21 06:48:46
Yeah he said 2009
2011-05-21 07:26:19
I wrote it badly, but read below. Also I didnt say Ukraine was bad for CyberSports or anything else.
2011-05-21 11:22:45
Na`Vi its Na`Vi, not "new-young-old-funny fnatic etc."

And stop write that sh*t about our country, you don't know anything about as, if u write that.
2011-05-21 07:26:18
you misunderstand my comment. I said "if someone said".

I write it as an example, about how unfair other people are writing crap about Chinese "new Na'Vi?" You guys think you know about China? apart from they are a bunch of "no human-rights country"

I personally like Ukraine and would like to go there, but dosent change the fact that not many would of believed Ukraine would have the world best counter-strike team, if we were back in 2000-2009. Why cant it happen for Chinese Teams?
