25-year-old Jingxiang "Mercury" Wang has been the team's captain since the summer of 2024, and he admits that the position comes with a lot of pressure. [laughs] ...First of all, I wanted your reaction on becoming number one in Asia on the VRS.
It's mainly because Mongolz's ranking-match results are also really strong, and at the same time, for Asia No. 1, before the ranking cutoff there are two big events we still need to play.
So for these tournaments, we'll try our best to perform well and earn as many points as possible, and try to compete with Mongolz for that Asia No. How important would stage two be for the team?
Because this time for the Major, in the Asia region, CD2 only has one spot, and the rest are all CD1, so I feel like CD2 means for us we can at least skip some of the CD1 matches, and go straight into CD2 to play.
Sometimes when we lose some really crucial matches, I do doubt myself a bit Jingxiang "Mercury" Wang on in-game leading And I wanted to ask about in-game leading. Does you feel like you are developing into the role?
After becoming the IGL, I actually feel like this position comes with a lot of pressure, and at the same time I have to put in more effort.

The headline skips this: "25-year-old Jingxiang "Mercury" Wang has been the team's captain since the summer of 2024, and he admits that the position comes with a lot of pressure. [laughs] ...First of a…" That is the reading I would argue. The rest of the card does not cancel it.
