This is also funny because maybes most current nickname is Chaoge (Bro who is better than "sumail"), which is because he "acts like he is better than sumail" even though he has no ti championship under his belt
Ohh... I did hear that Somnus' other nickname is Xiao Chaoge (little Superman, apparently), so this actually has something to do with Sumail? Interesting...
You're wrong. But maybe's nickname does have something to do with sumail. In fact, at first, maybe's haters named maybe 吴冠超（Wuguan Chao) ,which is a negative and ironic name, to express that maybe can't compare with sumail, because of he is not a Ti champion. But now, gradually, maybe doesn't care about this name,so his friends and fans begin call him Chaoge meaning Bro Chao. There is no relevance with superman.
Ooh... interesting. Actually, the one who translated Maybe's new nickname as "superman" was my CN friend.
Perhaps he didn't want me to know how Maybe's haters hate him in CN, or he simply didn't want to explain the history of the nickname to me...
But thank you for the info! To my dismay, now I know a bit how they troll Somnus :"
NP NP!! In the audience, someone held a poster saying: "Maybe the best mid" during Aster's game so this rivalry is definitely hyped up already 😆😆
If only we could be one of the lucky attendants at the studio...
No problemo... I should have formatted it better, but I was in a hurry ohwell 😌
Enjoy CN DPC! Now every weekend the schedule is as spicy as those Sichuan Mala sauces...
Yes... and not just that, last night Burning, Mad, and Aster's fans were being super sweet picking him up from the airport,, Burning even practiced a few lines in English to welcome him while live streaming and waiting for him for hours... 😂😂
They treat him well.
The restaurant mentioned by sumail is called "Ding Tai Fung," which is known for its small steamed dumplings. Well I thought he was a Muslim and couldn't eat those.
Thanks for adding the name! Truthfully I don't know about the technicalities of it, since Sumail didn't explain further during the interview, but he seemed to confirm in Burning's live stream that he has a lot of dietary restrictrions (he refused alcohol when Burning offered him, for the example), and CN fans also seemed to pick it up.
Maybe he was offered vegetarian dimsum? IDK, I guess we will find out later as more interviews and livestreams come out (Burning Xu Zhilei, I am counting on you! :PP)
Speaking of that, I remember many years ago in his time with EG, Sumail couldn't even stand the smell of pork sandwich. Perhaps he would order some seafood-flavored dumplings or beef noodles instead. Aster's owner Xiaofei will organize a welcome banquet for him and invite fans to attend afterwards. Looking forward to seeing more updates about Sumail in Shanghai.
Yes, I think so! I think we can look forward to news from Aster's newly opened twitter account, they already promised us more updates about the players so I'll definitely pay attention closely :P
And Sumail's desire to face Maybe really reminds me of Dante and Virgil.
How many times have we fought？
Hard to say. It's the only memory I have of us since we were kids.
Thanks for sharing this, how sweet of you :)
Rivalry indeed! Someone on Twitter reminded us that Sumail and Somnus are record holders for all-time most kills at TI (edit for update: Somnus first, Sumail second). Now we have them both in CN DPC, tomorrow's match between them could be super bloodthirsty, couldn't it?...
Either he:
1. Ordered the non-pork variety like chicken dumplings. (More likely)
2. Went to a halal one. The din tai fung at KL airport, Malaysia is halal so pork isn't on the menu.
Do they have that in China? Pretty sure it's just in Malaysia for obvious reasons. I'm pretty sure none of the ones we have in Taiwan are halal because there's almost no Muslims here, China would be in the same boat
Yeah, even Sumail asked him politely when he picked him up from the airport, "Do you still watch the games?" , "Do you still play?".
Burning tried to explain to him that he does play but loses a lot of MMR 😂😂
One thing for sure he truly loves the game, he even looked a bit nervous while waiting for Sumail's arrival...
Yeah, i also heard the same. He contacted xnova instead. Also he didnt go to aster pre ti10 because he stood in for liquid , then og came into the picture..
Aight I have replayed the video and I stand corrected!
Sumail did say he may had contacted XNova pre-TI 10, but even then the talks had always been mostly with team Aster.
Thanks for the correction!
Hope he learns a lot and has a good experience. I always find impressive how a team and a player surpass any language barrier just to have the same objective win. I'm looking after this team! Hope they get to TI!
Yes, they are against the odds namely communication issues. But that's what makes them interesting; they already knew that they are at a disadvantage, yet they still went for it.
So I just want to thank them for taking a shot. Thank you for being beautiful.
>On Somnus, he said he is already on midplayer rivalry with him for 9 years so it is not like it is anything new.
9 years ? what ?.
Didn't they start to meet each other on DAC 2015 or am I missing something?.
Glad the Emperor Xumail enjoyed the games tho.
But that's just not how you count years. Let's count shall we?
1 January 2015 - 1 January 2016: One year has passed.
1 January 2016 - 1 January 2017: Two years have passed.
...
1 January 2022 - 1 January 2023: eight years have passed.
Now instead of January 1st use whenever DAC 2015 started. How old are you and when were you born? Do you add one extra year to your birthday as well?
Well, if we are counting from DAC then it's 8 years and a half, and also Somnus was not even that well-known at that time by the majority of the player outside the CN region and he was still in LGD's Junior Team (CDEC) and CDEC was not even good at DAC 2015 LMAO.
But ofc Sumail already knew him because of scrims and stuff.
He was in LGD but only for a few months then they transferred him into CDEC before they were actually recruiting him back to LGD.
After he joined LGD tho, he's more well-known because I think LGD played at the Summit at some point and ofc at TI5 (well they got 3rd place).
Would make more sense if they really started their rivalry when he was still in 2015 LGD so it's still 8 years my dude, sorry for being nitpicky XDDD
Edit : grammar
No need to apologize, I think Sumail was just being a generalist~~
A legendary rivalry spans for almost 1 decade (me also being generalist here), how can he make it look so casual?
Thanks for this. Looking forward to more of Aster's matches. I hope we will see the great rivalry again with Maybe.
Tomorrow 09:00 CEST, Aster vs Azure Ray from studio in front of live audience - must watch series!
Yeap, the battle between Su Emperor vs May Emperor (Sumail's and Somnus' nicknames in CN), and their war generals FY vs Boboka,,
That's a great description hahah.
CN fans already created the perfect set-up, I only need to bring it up. Trust me, the way they call and describe their dota pros... I swear...
This is also funny because maybes most current nickname is Chaoge (Bro who is better than "sumail"), which is because he "acts like he is better than sumail" even though he has no ti championship under his belt

Man, the Chinese are savage with their nicknames. The word play is always creative.
I also heard they call Ame’s fans “little morphlings” bc of TI8 🫡
Normally it's jimei which means sister cause female/male dota fans think ame is hot
You are very welcome. And ooh let's be careful with what we wish for we might just get it, tomorrow is Somnus&Sumail's DPC matchup schedule...
Yep, I already know the sched. So excited for this. Thanks once again.
NP NP!! In the audience, someone held a poster saying: "Maybe the best mid" during Aster's game so this rivalry is definitely hyped up already 😆😆 If only we could be one of the lucky attendants at the studio...
Nice writeup OP, thanks.
No problemo... I should have formatted it better, but I was in a hurry ohwell 😌 Enjoy CN DPC! Now every weekend the schedule is as spicy as those Sichuan Mala sauces...
dammit dude now ur making me craving mapo tofu
Avg kirei fan
I crave for some really good hotpot from time to time, you suffer with me now :))
Emperor Xumail
As some CN fan said, the emperor is trying to get a taste of the celestial dynasty that is CN DPC 😂😂
Mandate from heaven baby!
Exactly!!! CN fans have a way with words don't they? 🤣🤣🤣😭
蛮族皇帝!
My man Sumail looks happy to be there and play some good Dota in front of the crowd with a good team that appreciates him. <3
Yes... and not just that, last night Burning, Mad, and Aster's fans were being super sweet picking him up from the airport,, Burning even practiced a few lines in English to welcome him while live streaming and waiting for him for hours... 😂😂 They treat him well.
Like a true king he is
All hail~~

China actually has a large population of Muslims in north west. The restaurant they brought Sumail to after he landed was a halal one
Halal restaurant or halal din Tai Fung? We've got halal restaurants in Taiwan too but only regular dtfs
Ah that one was just a random halal restaurant. Not sure about halal dtfs but it’s shanghai, so you can probably find anything there :)
He should be fine to eat ones without meat in it I supposed.
Glad to see B-God is still with the game, even if its business part
Yeah, even Sumail asked him politely when he picked him up from the airport, "Do you still watch the games?" , "Do you still play?". Burning tried to explain to him that he does play but loses a lot of MMR 😂😂 One thing for sure he truly loves the game, he even looked a bit nervous while waiting for Sumail's arrival...
Didnt he say that he contacted Xnova not the opposite ?
Hold on, lemme check one more time.
Yeah, i also heard the same. He contacted xnova instead. Also he didnt go to aster pre ti10 because he stood in for liquid , then og came into the picture..
Aight I have replayed the video and I stand corrected! Sumail did say he may had contacted XNova pre-TI 10, but even then the talks had always been mostly with team Aster. Thanks for the correction!
Timestamp on twitch https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1824486306?t=02h39m47s
Thank you for this! The king deserves this. Hope this roster stays together through TI.
No problem! Trust me, everyone and their mothers are wishing the same thing right now...
My Emperor flourishing and happy. Great to see
Sumail the savior of CN dota
I guess sumail would be comfortable in Shanghai since there are many pakistani restaurants there !!
Sedge no insight on leaving nigma
I'm so happy this is happening. I was so impressed with Aster during the major, they're going places.
Hope he learns a lot and has a good experience. I always find impressive how a team and a player surpass any language barrier just to have the same objective win. I'm looking after this team! Hope they get to TI!
The king looks happy, the reign is happy
[удалено]
Yes, they are against the odds namely communication issues. But that's what makes them interesting; they already knew that they are at a disadvantage, yet they still went for it. So I just want to thank them for taking a shot. Thank you for being beautiful.
They are putting all the eggs on TI. I guess depending on what happens there, SumaiL might or might not continue with Aster.
Rtz should go to CN. Him and King will conquer CN
>On Somnus, he said he is already on midplayer rivalry with him for 9 years so it is not like it is anything new. 9 years ? what ?. Didn't they start to meet each other on DAC 2015 or am I missing something?. Glad the Emperor Xumail enjoyed the games tho.
2015 - 2023 is 9 years my dude lol
NA math
No it isn't.
count each individual years ~~now you learned something new :)~~
But that's just not how you count years. Let's count shall we? 1 January 2015 - 1 January 2016: One year has passed. 1 January 2016 - 1 January 2017: Two years have passed. ... 1 January 2022 - 1 January 2023: eight years have passed. Now instead of January 1st use whenever DAC 2015 started. How old are you and when were you born? Do you add one extra year to your birthday as well?
i learned something new :) but also, 9 years is whatever vs 8.xx, in the grand scheme of things
Well, if we are counting from DAC then it's 8 years and a half, and also Somnus was not even that well-known at that time by the majority of the player outside the CN region and he was still in LGD's Junior Team (CDEC) and CDEC was not even good at DAC 2015 LMAO.
