On December 4th, VG.PandaTV won 3-0 against FlipSid3 Tactics in the CrossFire Stars 2016 (CFS 2016) Grand Finals held in Suzhou, China. They seem to have fair confidence regarding China’s status in the competitive CrossFire Scene.

Here is the full interview with the team after their victory in the CFS 2016 Grand Finals.

How do you feel after winning the Grand Finals?

YueQiang "18" Dai: I'm really glad. With this win, I've reached the top of China's CrossFire prize earning rankings. This tournament was more meaningful to me because of that. The prize is about 100K US Dollars.

Hao "N9" Wang: Winning the CFS for the first time - it’s a very meaningful experience to me. I'm so glad, and it's hard to describe the feeling of being in such a great team.

Zhe "MZiN" Ma: It’s been quite a straight journey from the start to our victory at the Grand Finals. I'm so happy to have won several tournaments, including this one. I'm not sure if there will be any other CFS tournaments in the future, but if there are, the winner will always be a Chinese team.

DePeng "4mE" Xu: I'm so happy that we ended it perfectly with no regrets.

XingWei "DAOBOQ" Zhou: It's amazing to have won such a big tournament like CFS. I'll try to win the next one as well.

(MZiN) There was a lot of pressure in the game as the second set went to an overtime round. What was the key factor that leads to your victory?

I didn't think we would lose at first. But as we started feeling more rushed, we began making several mistakes. I think I failed to give the right shot calls at times. However, we were able to make up for that in the second half and finish the game.

(4me) Before the Grand Finals began, you said this would be your last match as a pro gamer. Are you really thinking of retiring?

This was my last premier tournament, though I have some other games left. I'll do my best on those upcoming games of course, but this is about it for me as a pro gamer. Perhaps I'll work on something related to CrossFire in the future.

(MZiN) You had a perfect season this year. How will you prepare for the next year?

Well, the team’s decisions are the most important matter. If we have a chance to come back for CFS 2017, we'll prepare as best we can and try to get a back-to-back victory.

(DAOBOQ) You had a successive win with two different teams. How does that feel and how are those two teams different from each other?

They both have great teamwork. They differ in how they form detailed strategies and how they react to certain situations in the game. It goes without saying that I'm happy, and I'm so thankful for the eight of us. I'm very glad that I won with the current team.

(N9) If there is any team that could threaten China’s throne in the future, which team would it be and why?

HG LongZhu, because we always face each other in domestic tournaments. Other countries are getting better, so maybe teams from Russia or some European countries will be potential threats.
