In the CS:GO commentary, we can often hear two familiar voices, one is called Desert Storm, and the other is full of witty words. These two people are the protagonists of this article, Aihua and Xiaobo. They have changed from professional players to professional commentators, today let's introduce the two elders on the commentary table, so that the new players can understand the stories behind them.
Aihua
Commentary on desert storms
Aihua, real name Zheng Xiaping, is the official commentator of IMBA Media, and the anchor of Douyu Live CS:GO. Everyone knows that he is a CS:GO commentator, knowing that he has played professionally before, and the most brilliant moments of his career may only be remembered by veteran players in his early years.
Aihua was once a member of the AbitStrike team, belonging to the earliest batch of professional players in China, and one of the first players to represent China in the world and win many honors.
Founded in Shanghai, the AllStrike team is a place where dreams begin. The team of loyal CS players was active from 2000-2005, and later the AllStrike team had a stable lineup of Aihua, 117, and Freestyle.
In 2003, AllStrike made a name for himself in domestic competitions, defeating many strong opponents to win the ESWC China Qualifiers and representing China on the world stage. In the group stage, it was played against the world's second zEx at the time, the German giants PP, and the French powerhouse FAIRGAME. In the end, with a record of 1 win and 2 losses, he could not go further. But it is worth mentioning that in the match against the world runner-up zEx at the time, AllStrike only lost by two points.
The trip to France gave the world its first glimpse of not only the two hot lands of Northern Europe and North America that burn the flames of CS, but also the ancient countries of the East with fanatical players and powerful teams. I believe that many wonderful shots of zEx, which had superstars such as sunman, volcano and ShaGuar, are still enjoyed by many players.
Later, AllStrike experienced a short trough, under the difficult conditions of leading the team to train for three months, once again appeared as a dark horse in the CPL China Qualifiers, facing the then hegemonic 5E3DTOP team, AllStrike did not have the slightest weakness to cut it off, although in the finals of the national finals unfortunately lost to Singapore's GBR team, they still proved their potential. After the CPL China competition, AllStrike was sponsored by Shengji Company and officially changed its name to AbitStrike Team.
The following year, in the WEG S02 World Finals in South Korea, the AbitStrike team gave the world the first glimpse of the power of CS in the ancient country of the East. They beat Sweden's mTw team in the group stage to qualify, then pushed the wNv and American Gamer Company teams to the knockout round, and finally won a place in the final four. This is a historic breakthrough for Chinese CS on the world stage. In the world rankings released by Gotfrag, AbitStrike is already ranked ninth.
After withdrawing from the professional stage of CS1.6, Aihua embarked on the industry of understanding speaking. After the trough of CS in China from 2007 to 2012, Aihua joined IMBATV and became a professional CS:GO commentator. We can see that Aihua has participated in the interpretation of countless large-scale CS:GO events at home and abroad, and his rich professional experience has also laid the foundation for his professional commentary style.
And now Aihua is a regular visitor to the CS:GO competition commentary seat. As an excellent commentator, he has a unique view of the game, which is also a guarantee of the excitement of the game, and is one of the most popular commentators. Next, Aihua will appear at the 2018 Perfect Festival to meet CS:GO water friends.

Go to the top of the world
Xiao Bo, that is, sakula, real name Wu Runbo, was nicknamed "Prince AK". Speaking of Xiaobo, everyone knows that he is the CS1.6 world champion, and then let's talk about how he went from a CS player to the current commentary.
Back in March 2005, Sakula competed with the wNv team in the WEG S01, where they beat the American team Gamer Company and solo's South Korean team MaveN Crew in the first group stage, ranking second in the group, losing only to the German chariot Mouz. On the second day of the match, they encountered setbacks, facing South Korea's second team Flux, old rivals GC and Norway's strong opponent NoA, and finally failed to qualify for the knockout round.
Not to be outdone, Sakura led the team from the WEG S03 China Qualifiers, and the Chinese team that played with them in this World Championship is the Abit Strike team introduced above. In the first round of the group stage, wNv won all three games, and in the second round of the group stage, facing the Projeck_kr led by his old rival Solo, he did not relent at all, and defeated it with a score of 16-10. This was followed by a showdown against Asylum, a formidable rival from Denmark (now Coach Astralis), who also won 16:12. The opponent in the final game was the NoA team that eliminated them last time, and wNv successfully took revenge and advanced to the knockout round with a record of total victory in the group stage.
WNv's opponent in the knockout round is the Norwegian team Team9, who previously won the CPL UK championship, although this team showed a strong level in the group stage, but it was still difficult to fight back against the morale of the wNv team, and was directly eliminated by the wNv in two straight sets. In the final wNv's opponent was South Korea's Project_kr, when the Korean CS was also at its peak, but this time they could only be reduced to the background, after three hard games, wNv achieved a reversal, bringing Chinese CS to the top of the world.
This was followed by the WEG Master 2006, which was also moved to Hangzhou. The tournament was of higher spec and more prize money, with all 8 teams being the strongest in the world. The opponents of wNv in the group stage are the newly cloaked Norwegian rival TCG, the top-level 4K, and the veteran club SK. This time the group stage is all bo3 format, and wNv still lives up to expectations, winning all 3 games to advance to the knockout rounds.
The opponents they faced in the first round of the knockout round were the South Korean team led by Solo, this time wNv defeated them again, telling the Koreans who were the hegemons of CS in Asia, and then facing the strong American opponent coL in the final, they did not lose the championship. Sakula crushes coL in the breakout gun link, and the sniper Jungle also punishes fROD fiercely.
In the later Chengdu and Wuhan stations of WSVG, wNv twice defeated the Fnatic team led by old rival f0rest, when the Fnatic five-man Arci, cArn, dsn, f0rest, and ins later became old friends of Chinese players.
The five IDs of sakula, alex, jungle, tK, and mikk are imprinted in the blood of CS in China, and to this day, many tributes will still be named after these IDs. And sakula, undoubtedly the hero of wNv, his top breakthrough ability, unmatched AK technology, has been crowned the title of "AK Prince", and Sakula's ID also carries the dreams of countless Internet café teenagers.
Xiao Bo, who retired from CS1.6, sometimes plays as a player, but more often as a commentator to explain the wonderful games of CS:GO. Today he is one of the most well-known commentators on CS:GO. Xiaobo is a person who truly interprets his love, no matter what kind of tribulations and lows CS has experienced in China, Xiaobo has not given up CS. He loves CS because the game brings him joy and passion and never has to think too complicated.
In September this year, Xiaobo formed the CS:GO team NiRVANA, the team name is Nirvana rebirth, since CS1.6 China's CS players have been seriously broken, in order to cultivate a new force of Chinese CS, Xiaobo has worked hard. According to himself, the club is basically young players, everyone has the strength to break through, k4Mi is relatively young, currently the team commander, he and Ling's playing style and consciousness are relatively mature, Dcc and Xziii and Jump These three players have relatively strong marksmanship, but the current experience of the competition is not very rich, and the understanding of the game needs to be further improved.
In addition to being a narrator and team boss, Xiaobo also produced a well-known "AK teaching" video, this video has become a terrier, whenever players have a carbine mistake, they will always be advised to learn Xiaobo's AK teaching, the most interesting thing is that this video even appeared on the bus.
At the upcoming perfect ceremony, the second elder of Xuan Di, Aihua and Xiaobo, will come to the scene as CS:GO commentators to meet with everyone. This story about them is introduced here, and the little friends who like them are welcome to the scene of Kiha.
