Time for another TMI interview. This time, we tracked down a player in the LPL, the jungler of Top Esports, Hung “Karsa” Hao-Hsuan. Top Esports has been on a great run this year, finishing second in the LPL Spring Split, winning the first-ever Mid-Season Cup, and is currently waiting for the Summer Finals match against JD Gaming.

 

Just before the closing of LPL Summer, we caught up with Karsa for a quick 50-questions session.
