CEA: What is your relationship with other girl gamers in the community?
fnatic.Hafu: The only other high-rated girl gamer that I know of is Noxn of Mannoroth. She's the best shadow priest that I have ever played against, and I have a lot of respect for her.

CEA: There's been some questions and rumours about your relationship with Alex, can you confirm if you are a pair?
fnatic.Hafu: Haha, the rumors are from World of Ming right? Ming makes things up off the top of his head to get hits for his website. Alex and I are good friends.

CEA: Did you have any aims for yourself before MLG Orlando? Professionally and personally?
fnatic.Hafu: Of course I wanted to win, that's natural for everyone there. We were unsponsored going into that tournament, and just gave it our best shot. Everyone pretty much thought that we would get knocked out pretty early considering our seed was so awful (19th). I'm glad we surprised everyone, and proved ourselves.

CEA: Do you have any fun memories from your interaction with the WOW players? Who are the funny WoW players in the community as a whole?
fnatic.Hafu: At Orlando, our hotel reservations got screwed up so we actually had to bum hotels off of people. The announcers Kintt and Vhell actually let us sleep on their pull-out couch. Sunday night, Alex and I went to bed fairly early because we were so exhausted. Most of the players were having a party in one of their rooms, and apparently the security broke it up. A group of them ended up in our hotel room, and all we could do is hide under the covers and try to go back to sleep. I enjoyed the company of Didy and Woovils of GotGame. They're both hilarious.



CEA: Which players do you normally practice with? What tips do they offer you?
fnatic.Hafu: I normally practice with Rhaegyn, Glick, and now Azael of Evil Geniuses. No one really offers tips to each other on how to play their own classes. Mainly if we offer insight, it's about strategy changes.

CEA: Whom do you consider to be your role model in the online world?
fnatic.Hafu: I think Sonny, the European druid is quite impressive. He's probably the best druid I've seen play so far, judging from the videos that he's released.

CEA: Where do you see yourself 5 years from now? Personally and professionally?
fnatic.Hafu: Personally I should be graduating from college! Professionally? I probably won't be playing World of Warcraft by then, since it's an ever-changing game. I think competitive World of Warcraft will end for a while when the expansion is released.

CEA: Do you want to concentrate on college or do you want to play more computer games?
fnatic.Hafu: I definitely want to concentrate on college. I don't see myself getting seriously involved with another game.

CEA: What are your thoughts about World of Warcraft as a Professional gaming career?
fnatic.Hafu: If World of Warcraft tournaments were on-going and locked at 70 with the current patches, I think it could be doable. I really enjoy traveling around the world, but all in all I don't think it's for me as a career in life.

CEA: Have you been to China? There are a lot of people interested about you, what would you like to say to them?
fnatic.Hafu: I have been to China, but I was fairly young. I'm pleased that my name has reached out to the Chinese WoW community. Thank you for the support!

CEA: What are your thoughts about gaming and where it's headed in the near future?
fnatic.Hafu: I think it's slowly but surely expanding in the United States. It's unfortunate that gaming is not quite as big as it is in Asia, where I hear professional players are treated like rock stars and celebrities. Perhaps some day America will be more socially accepting of the gaming community.
