fy: “I don’t think there is any secret to raising MMR. Just respect your teammates"

Xtreme Gaming support Hu 'fy' Linsen, in an interview at The International 2026, spoke about his favorite memory with TI, spoke about playing together with Wang 'Ame' Chunyu, Chen 'NothingToSay' Jin Xiang and Jian 'xNova' Wei Yap, and also shared advice on raising the rating.

Probably my happiest memory is from The International 2014. Because it was my first performance at such a major tournament. At that moment I was very inspired and in complete delight. After that, everything felt more normal.

I really miss the way things used to be. I would love to be able to feel excited again before every episode. However, Dota is different now than it was before. Back then the game had much more variety.

It seems to me that over all these years they have practically not changed. We might not have seen some of them for several years, but when we meet, everything becomes the same as it was before, when we were teammates and friends.

[Is this more of a friendship for you than just a relationship between teammates? ] Yes. I'd say it's about equal.

We need to focus on every ranked game. There are actually a lot of supports that have MMRs higher than mine, so I don't consider my rating to be very high. I don't think there is any secret to raising MMR. Just respect your teammates.

Earlier, Cheng 'NothingToSay' Jin Xiang analyzed the defeat from Team Resilience in the elimination match, and also named the team's main problem at The International 2026.
