Kingsurf: There has been a serious misunderstanding

Kingsurf's manager released a press statement to denounce a news report made earlier about TeKniqZ's addition into the team.



Kingsurf has always been a household name in the world of DotA, having won numerous local and international championships over the years. Apart from getting 2nd place in ESWC 2008, they recently claimed 5th place in SMM 2009.

However when it comes to online tournaments, Kingsurf does not seem to perform that well most probably due to lag issues as they perished in the early stages of Gosucup #2. After the departure of Hock Chuan 'ChuaN' Wong early this year, Kingsurf seeked David ' Xiaoxiaofong' Yin Fong to fill the void and this has been their team roster ever since.

Several hours ago, the international DotA community was stunned after a news report was released on GosuGamers.net announcing the recruitment of Asia Elite DotA League administrator Sean Michael 'TeKniqZ' Mascarenhas. The fans were even more baffled after noticing veteran player Wei Siang 'papaxiong' Lee's absence from the current roster and questioned this audacious replacement.


Kingsurf without Papaxiong?

As we all know, the players from Kingsurf can barely communicate in English and the addition of TeKniqZ just does not seem right. Therefore, myMYM decided to investigate this matter and we were surprised by the statements we got from Papaxiong and Kingsurf's team manager, Ken Wee 'Ken' Low.


Statement Wei Siang 'papaxiong' Lee, Kingsurf player:

"This morning a couple of my friends including Tofu linked me to the news. I was actually taken aback after going through the article a couple of times. I was not aware that the recruitment was confirmed nor the fact that I was booted from the team without even knowing. After making an urgent call to my manager, I was assured that my place in the squad was never in any threat. Ken will definitely be giving an official statement soon to clear up this mess."




Statement Ken Wee 'Ken' Low, Kingsurf manager:

"Apparently, there has been a serious misunderstanding. First of all, papaxiong is still a part of Kingsurf and it will remain that way until he decides otherwise. As for Sean, he is still under probation and will remain as a practice partner and continue to participate in our practice games. Please note that all E-sports journalists should go through me first to validate any sources of information that relates to Kingsurf before posting it up. As the manager, I am entitled to that privilege."
