Playing style

Wang "Infi" Xuwen has been nicknamed "Tower Race" or "the Six Race" as he was known for building many towers as a defensive and sometimes offensive strategy. In extreme cases, his towers could control sizable areas of the map. He often builds a large number of towers for detection as well, and then uses invisible Summoned creatures to raid his opponent. He employed this strategy and beat Fly100% in the grand final of World Cyber Games 2009.[5]
