After the regional stage, they will compete in the 19th Asian Games as the next step. "

Since that time, most of the people played the games in local and later, they have played the game through the internet and the numbers of players have increased. There is a competition or not, we are camping. We always do training."

I think we will be difficult to compete with China and Malaysia. Now, we are observing their playing techniques and conducting trainings to win these teams."
