Playing style

[edit ]

Wang "Infi" Xuwen has been nicknamed "Tower Race" or "the Six Race" as he was known for building many towers as a defensive and sometimes offensive strategy. In extreme cases, his towers could control sizable areas of the map. He often builds a large number of towers for detection as well, and then uses invisible Summoned creatures to raid his opponent. He employed this strategy and beat Fly100% in the grand final of World Cyber Games 2009.[5]

Career

[edit ]

Infi started gaining recognition internationally in team World Elite. In 2007, World Elite came 3rd place in Warcraft III Champions League Season XII. In 2008, World Elite was the champion of Road of the King tournament and became the team of year. In 2009, World Elite became the champion of Warcraft III Champions League Season XIV. Wang Xuwen also has many notable individual achievements. In 2007, he beat Dae Hui "FoV" Cho, Sun "xiaOt" Liwei and June "Lyn" Park in the International E-Sports Festival 2007.

In 2008, he was the champion of KODE5 in Moscow[6] and World e-Sports Games. Infi saw success in the World Cyber Games, whose tournaments are considered some of the most important for Warcraft III players. After beating Weiliang "Fly100%" Lu, Dmitry "Happy" Kostin and Jang "Moon" Jae Ho, he won the championship for World Cyber Games 2009.[7] [8] In 2010, he was the runner-up of Battle.Net Season VIII.[9] At the end of 2010, Infi left World Elite and joined team PanDa, which shortly afterwards merged with team Tyloo.
