How did you come up with the name "Mushi"?

Last time my nick is Mushi.Lushi ~ After I get a sponsor, I cant put such long name anymore, therefore I shorten it to Mushi. But why I used Mushi.Lushi before, I really cant recall that.

During your times in Cybertime , you shot up to fame in a short time. You get famous across your country. How did you start competitive dota?

Actually, in my hometown, there is no competitive dota at all. Not much people playing Dota, my hometown is really a ‘kampung’. One day, our internet shop organized a tournament. All the top teams in Malaysia joined this competition including Cybertime,Mkvl, Kingsurf… I saw them farm very fast, placed nice position, and battle with full of teamwork. That time, Kingsurf won the tournament. So, I kept on telling myself that one day in the future, I want to beat Kingsurf. On that moment onwards, I start to join all tournaments . That time, we don’t have sponsors, we just pay with our own money. Even we lose, we keep learning and enjoy every tournament. Net is with me.

Throughout these years, you visited many countries, among those countries that you have visited, which country that you like the most and if possible, to visit that country again?

I visited so many countries, but each time after our tournament, we don’t have extra time to walk around. Honestly, I hope that we can go back to ESWC in 2012 and I wanna meet Navi again, because in 2011 ESWC , I made a really big misstake. That time we thought ESWC is in dota 1, but they suddenly changed it to dota 2. Too bad we already bought the air tickets. So we had no choice, and we don’t like dota 2 at that time. All of us only played around 10++ matches in dota 2, and then we need to play in that tournament.When play against Navi, after the drafting ends, they shouted “ Kill Mushi “ non stop and loudly. Haha… I really felt so sorry that I wasted our sponsor’s money. So, I promised myself. I want to get good results in every tournament, no matter dota 1 or dota 2. As for holidays, I wish to go to Dubai and Maldives.
