She also caught Valve’s attention after hosting the Steam Game Festival, which made her the perfect co-host for the Singapore Major, especially since she has a passion for Dota 2.

“I’ve played the game for several years now,” she told ONE Esports. “I guess it was just good timing and things just fell into place. And here I am, in Singapore, and I feel very, very grateful for this opportunity.”

sumichu usually favors the support role when playing Dota 2, but she can hard carry if needed. Her favorite hero? Rubick! She also loves Snapfire and will sneak in the occasional Tiny.

While sumichu is based in the US, she’s looking forward to seeing teams from other regions compete at the Singapore Major.

“I’m very familiar with North American Dota because that’s my region,” she said. “But there’s a lot of talent around the world. There’s a lot of really talented Dota players and I really want to be able to highlight them in a way they truly deserve.”

As for which team she’s rooting for?

“I wanna see Evil Geniuses do well!” sumichu said. “But I’m really just looking forward to just watching some good Dota. It’s been such a long time since anyone’s seen LAN Dota. I’m just excited to kickstart this again.

sumichu通常在玩Dota 2时更喜欢扮演支持角色，但是如果需要的话，她可以硬着头。她最喜欢的英雄？鲁比克！她还喜欢Snapfire，偶尔也会偷偷溜进Tiny。

sumichu的总部设在美国，但她希望看到其他地区的团队参加“新加坡少校”比赛。

她说：“我对北美Dota非常熟悉，因为那是我所在的地区。” “但是全世界有很多人才。有很多非常有才华的Dota选手，我真的希望能够以他们真正应得的方式来突出他们。”

至于她支持哪支球队？

“我想看看邪恶的天才们做得好！” sumichu说。“但是我真的很期待看一些好的Dota。自从有人见过LAN Dota以来已经有很长时间了。我很高兴再次开始这项工作。
